oop, not posted for more than a week! I was away for a long weekend so haven’t actually played much poker, and what I did play was fairly so-so (On checking it I’ve made $56 – actually quite pleasing considering it seemed like I wasn’t playing at all).

Sooo, what can I post about? Not much I guess. Full Tilt is still proving to be the best site to play husngs – plenty of players and not much waiting for a game. Tonight I’ve been playing on Cake (under the alias ‘Rolf Lmao’ – geddit? ), but it takes too long to sit and wait for someone to join you, so I’ve been joining anyone waiting on a game $25 or less (not many $25s, although the one I played I won – whoohoo!). So far been doing ok, but not getting many games over $10.

Here’s a great hand though – I love bluffing, but when someone showed me that they folded top pair it makes it well worth the many, many times that I get called down;

No Limit Holdem Tournament
2 Players

Stacks:
Hero (1,560)
BB (1,440)

Blinds: 10/20

Pre-Flop: (30, 2 players) Hero is SB 9 2
Hero raises to 40, BB calls 20

Flop: Q 8 2 (80, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets 80, BB calls 80

Turn: 3 (240, 2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: J (240, 2 players)
BB bets 240, Hero raises to 480, BB folds

Final Pot: 960
BB shows Q 9

Hero wins 960 (net +360)

BB lost 360

There is some history on that hand – I’d played the same line of cbet, check turn, fold river about 3 times, with him making a PSB on the river each time. So I was actually waiting for a hand to have some value to take this line anyway, but I figured he’d also give the click-it-back action some credit on the river anyway, and a bluff would work just fine too (which it did lol!). However I had been putting that PSB of his as a stone cold bluff to simply buy the pot, and to see him fold away a hand with decent value really surprised me. I guess those other PSBs weren’t bluffs at all (maybe).

Oh, and here’s another one (different opponent);

No Limit Holdem Tournament
2 Players

$20 + $1 Heads Up Sit & Go

Stacks:
SB (1,140)
Hero (1,860)

Blinds: 10/20

Pre-Flop: (30, 2 players) Hero is BB 6 A
SB raises to 40, Hero calls 20

Flop: 7 4 5 (80, 2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets 40, Hero raises to 100, SB calls 60

Turn: 5 (280, 2 players)
Hero checks, SB bets 160, Hero calls 160

River: 7 (600, 2 players)
Hero bets 200,
SB: what a joke
SB has 15 seconds left to act
SB: i got 36
SB folds

Final Pot: 800

Hero wins 800 (net +300)

SB lost 300

Possibly a bet for value more than a bluff, but very thin really…

Software Bug on Cake

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Worrying news about the Cake network! It awarded the pot to the wrong player!

Cake Poker $4.00 No Limit Hold’em – 6 players

Hero (UTG): $6.78
MP: $2.35
CO: $1.13
BTN: $2.71
SB: $1.81
BB: $3.94

Pre Flop: ($0.06) Hero is UTG with 2 T
2 folds, MP calls $0.04, BTN calls $0.04, 1 fold, BB raises to $0.28, MP calls $0.24, BTN raises to $2.71, BB raises to $3.92, 1 fold

Flop: ($5.72) 4 4 8

Turn: ($5.72) 6

River: ($5.72) 9

Final Pot: $5.72
BTN shows A Q
BB shows K K
BB wins $5.36 !!!
(Rake: $0.36)

Obviously not a common thing, but you’d expect this to never happen! Full 2p2 thread here. Hopefully it’s a hoax, but there’s no sign of that from the thread…

Letting The Aggromonkey Give Me His Money

Saturday, January 2nd, 2010

Damn, I hate derailing my own posts, especially when it’s a big end of year one – skip down to the next post and read the wonderous scribblings there first, then come back and laugh at my play here. I just went on a nice +$36 session, but had some dubious hands;

What does anyone make of this?

A guy with no history shows up and goes aggro all over some poor guy;

$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
5 Players

Stacks:
UTG ($10)
Hero ($18.38)
BTN ($10.15)
SB ($10.36)
BB ($8.96)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15, 5 players)
1 fold, Hero folds, 1 fold, SB raises to $0.40, BB calls $0.30

Flop: 8 9 8 ($0.80, 2 players)
SB bets $0.77, BB calls $0.77

Turn: 2 ($2.34, 2 players)
SB bets $2.23, BB calls $2.23

River: Q ($6.80, 2 players)
SB goes all-in $6.96, BB folds

Final Pot: $13.76

SB wins $13.42 (net +$3.06)

BB lost $3.40

Is this value betting? Looks like hammering til they fold type stuff to me. When he’s on a draw though (BB in this hand), he’s much more passive;

$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
5 Players

Stacks:
UTG ($7.84)
Hero ($13.35)
BTN ($10)
SB ($10)
BB ($10)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15, 5 players) Hero is CO J 10
UTG calls $0.10, Hero raises to $0.40, 1 fold, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30, UTG folds

Flop: 5 5 10 ($1.30, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $1.24, SB raises to $2.68, BB calls $2.68, Hero calls $1.44

Turn: 6 ($9.34, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

River: Q ($9.34, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks

Final Pot: $9.34
Hero shows
J 10
BB shows
A 6
SB shows
2 3

Hero wins $8.88 (net +$5.80)

BB lost $3.08
UTG lost $0.10
SB lost $3.08

So in this next hand where he tangles with me, it’s a drawy board but he doesn’t play it passively. Should I have given the flop reraise more credit, and started thinking I could be up against an overpair or J with better kicker? I called flop since I wasn’t giving him much credit, and figured he was trying to push me off the flop – since I had top pair with good(ish) kicker I figured I was ok.

Then the turn completed the flush that I didn’t think he was on, plus I had a Q, I figured I’d call with the possibility of a decent flush. Finally on the river it was a blank, and since I’d called the turn I could hardly fold to a bet less than pot.

Aggromonkey is UTG;

$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
6 Players

Stacks:
UTG ($13.27)
UTG+1 ($9.70)
CO ($10.20)
Hero ($19.10)
SB ($10.05)
BB ($2.65)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15, 6 players) Hero is BTN J Q
UTG raises to $0.40, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.40, 2 folds

Flop: 3 J 7 ($0.95, 2 players)
UTG bets $0.45, Hero raises to $1.13, UTG raises to $2.15, Hero calls $1.02

Turn: 5 ($5.25, 2 players)
UTG bets $2.49, Hero calls $2.49

River: 7 ($10.23, 2 players)
UTG goes all-in $8.23, Hero calls $8.23

Final Pot: $26.69
Hero shows
J Q
UTG shows
A K

Hero wins $25.69 (net +$12.42)

UTG lost $13.27

He then berated me for making a really bad call (which one? Did he really think the river was a bad call?), and said ‘broke with TPBK’ which was funny since he was the one that went broke with A high.

Still, his point about a big pot with just top pair is kinda valid, but with his hands was I justified in seeing the hand through?

Edit: hmm, actually that river isn’t that blank. Maybe I was lucky on that hand…

Bad Beat

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

I decided I had to 3bet bluff this guy preflop as he was clearly stealing every button (BB was supertight, so not worried about him. I possibly could have waited for a better hand, but he was starting to take the piss and needed to sent a message). He minraised back though, so I called rather than make it obvious I was bluffing (figured the $0.60 was worth it in order not to lose my image which had been quite strong up to that point), plus my hand was sooooted and you never know.

In hindsight, was a shove a bit excessive? He called it, and I was 70% favourite at that point, so it wasn’t bad really though, was it? Hands that would call are AA, KK (would’ve expected more than a minraise preflop, but obviously you can never tell), AQ, KQ (maybe), any pair that thought I was bluffing (huge river overbets seems a popular (and stupid) move at Party Poker), the hands I’m in danger of are sets although 3’s & 4’s are unlikely, as are QQ since I had one of the queens. The most likely outcome was a fold which would have been a good pot…

$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
6 Players

Stacks:
UTG ($0.94)
UTG+1 ($8.44)
CO ($5.17)
BTN ($12.89)
Hero ($19.07)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15, 6 players) Hero is SB Q 5
3 folds, BTN raises to $0.30, Hero raises to $0.90, 1 fold, BTN raises to $1.50, Hero calls $0.60

Flop: 3 4 Q ($3.10, 2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $1.27, Hero calls $1.27

Turn: 5 ($5.64, 2 players)
Hero goes all-in $16.30, BTN goes all-in $10.12

River: 3 ($32.06, 2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $32.06
BTN shows
A A
Hero shows
Q 5

BTN wins $24.88 (net +$11.99)

Hero collects $6.18 (net -$12.89)

Update: Actually today’s poker turned out to be very enjoyable despite that bad beat. Last couple of days Party Poker has been ultra-aggro, which is good when you get a hand against them but pretty bad when you don’t. I was doing well at putting people on hands, although still made a few mistakes. For instance, in the following hand I put the guy on a pocket pair between 88 & TT, which meant I was a bit stuck about what to do on the river. I thought he’d probably wouldn’t fold to a river bet, so I just let it go. I really wish I’d typed 88? into the chat and then raised…

$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
5 Players

Stacks:
UTG ($7.80)
Hero ($18.72)
BTN ($10)
SB ($10.20)
BB ($9.42)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15, 5 players) Hero is CO 7 7
UTG raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.40, 1 fold, SB calls $0.35, BB calls $0.30

Flop: 6 4 6 ($1.50, 4 players)
SB bets $1.06, 2 folds, Hero calls $1.06

Turn: 10 ($3.62, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.79, SB calls $1.79

River: Q ($7.20, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks

Final Pot: $7.20
Hero shows
7 7
SB shows
8 8

SB wins $6.99 (net +$3.74)

BB lost $0.40
Hero lost $3.25
UTG lost $0.30

The guy who won that hand was a really solid player actually, although that made him actually easier to play against (or at least it made him less ‘random’). I was playing with him on two tables, and part of today’s enjoyment was that between the two of us we drained everyone else’s stacks. At the end of the day though he did better than me since I continued to float a little too often, bluff a few too many rivers etc. (kind of obvious from the awesome redline ). Frustrating since I know without doing that (and without the bad beat), I’d have won a big pile today…

December Results

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

A bit early to December results, but with xmas/new year etc I might as well do it now. Hopefully I can do a 2009 roundup post soon as well.

So this month started out well, but then died at the end;

And by site;
Site(hands): $$$ (rb = rakeback)
————————
FT(1216): $62.07+$8.08(rb)
PS(1050): -$12.95
UB(1172): -$22.97+$2.69(rb)
PP(882): -$27.94

I don’t really know what to make of things – there were plenty of bad beats I guess, but it’s hard to tell if that’s the real reason I lost 6 buy-ins in less than 300 hands. It devastated the money I put into PS, UB and PP – now I really need to reload them, although such a crushing has put me off playing there now. If it had happened at Full Tilt at least I would have had rakeback to console me.

ok, here are all the worst losing hands in the 6 buy-in crash. Any advice welcome…

It’s the Weekend Again (at last)

Saturday, December 12th, 2009

Going to be a bit of a crappy day today as I have to get the xmas shopping done (exchange of presents always seems very -ev! I think hard about what to get, spends a pile and in return get socks).

However, it started out nice;

$0.05/$0.10 No Limit Holdem
4 Players

Stacks:
CO ($10)
BTN ($5.39)
SB ($19.18)
Hero ($10.32)

Pre-Flop: ($0.15, 4 players) Hero is BB 10 10
CO checks, 1 fold, SB raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.20, CO calls $0.20

Flop: 6 6 3 ($0.80, 3 players)
SB bets $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50

Turn: 10 ($2.30, 3 players)
SB bets $1.10, Hero calls $1.10, CO raises to $3.60, SB raises to $10.30, Hero goes all-in $8.42, CO goes all-in $5.60

River: 3 ($31.32, 3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $31.32
Hero shows a full house, Tens full of Sixes
10 10
CO shows a full house, Sixes full of Threes
8 6
SB shows two pair, Kings and Sixes
K K

Hero wins $29.64 (net +$19.32)

SB collects $0.78 (net -$10.32)
CO lost $9.90

The guy with the tens perhaps shouldn’t have floated, but then he’s a genius postflop and knew a ten was going to land (lol!). I thought about raising the turn, but really couldn’t see why – I had the nuts, and the other guys seemed happy to be in the hand.

So, +$25 this morning on Full Tilt. Now moving on to Pokerstars. Will keep you all up to date…

Update: PokerStars went down, then up, then horrendously down, instantly followed by up and up. Finally I had to get off at +$6…

Yegor then popped up on skype and said we should crush the miniftops #9 since it’s HU and we’re HU gods (allegedly) – we entered a couple of satellites, but bust out of them (gods, or dogs?). I got to the final table of one of them (64 entrants in the tourney), but completely messed up when I misclicked into calling a shove. Before everyone starts nodding and saying ‘oh yeah sure’ etc, I will admit it I was over hovering the call button (I had TJo) which would have been a lame call – I then thought, nah, obv fold and as I moved the mouse away it clicked the call button – serves me right for using the laptop’s mousepad and not a proper mouse…

Then did some xmas shopping. Now considering my options – more HU attempts at miniftops, more nlhe, or some plo? Possibly more coffee and Cake first though…

Update II: ok, so I went with a few more goes at getting into the miniftops #9 and failed. I still got fairly deep (usually last 4 out of 64), but just couldn’t go the last mile somehow. Not too bothered because it cost virtually nothing (matches were either $1 or Full Tilt Points) and I got loads of practice at HU. I surprised myself at how well I played, although obviously failing the end goal meant I still have much to learn…

I then switched to Party Poker and ran up $22.73 in 121 hands, which was somewhat startling. I find it hard playing there – the level of play is all over the place and one minute you’re playing nits and then suddenly everybody is totally manic. Plus the interface is very crowded – buttons etc are ok, but it’s just all too colourful and I’ve failed to notice someone else in the hand a few times now (ie I raised a SB limper only to realise the button hadn’t folded!).

So, end result is one of the best Saturdays I ever done – over 5 buy-ins, plus managed to mess around with stuff like HU;

And got my xmas shopping done. Perhaps in a few minutes I’ll wake up… (actually if this is a dream then that’s really really sad – must get a life and dream at least about something sexier!).

Also, courtesy of Party Poker, here’s why you shouldn’t a) limp, b) slowplay a set!

November Results

A day or two early, but I’ll update tomorrow night if I get a result. I wanted to post today partly because it’s been a great month and I just wanted to brag, but I’ve also hit the milestone of 100k hands. To have played 100k hands is pretty awesome, but the results aren’t so hot so I’ll talk about November’s results first

Results from cash games has been ok, mainly because I’ve moved back to NL10;

Those nasty sharp swings in the middle was my experiment at shortstacking NL50 to see how quickly I could clear a bonus. I was lucky to get away with only a mild loss of $14 and it was clearly not a good idea to push a bonus outside your bankroll. The 2nd half of that chart is NL10, and the monetary boost is clear to see. Still very swingy though – I half wish I had a more consistent style, but on the other hand rollercoasters are a lot more fun.

The big result was the $2 180man tourney win which boosted the bankroll by $70, giving a total of $100 wins in tournament results.

Bonuses came to $20 (Full Tilt holiday bonus – hopefully I’ll clear at least another $20 before it expires), and about $18 in rakeback. So final total of $180 for November – a huge boost to the bankroll and long overdue. Tomorrow I’ve those MTTs as well, and just getting to the cash in the Turbo Takedown will be about $70, so as long as I can get a result I’ll be happy. I’m not holding my breath though, my tournament success is random at best.

So, on to the big lifetime result;

Quite disapointing to have been playing poker for so long and not really getting the hang of nanostakes. I think I’m back on track again, and my NL10 progress should be similar to that early rise (perhaps not so steep – it was a heater on the whole). I’m confident that from now on it’s just a matter of time & grinding to get to NL25 & NL50.

Also the chart doesn’t really reflect my true bankroll – it doesn’t include tournament results, bonuses or rakeback – plus it only goes back to July 2008, and I’ve played longer than that. In reality I’ve probably redeposited about 4 times ($250 or so), then that heater after which I cashed out $170, and then from $30 (donated by S1ndr0me and Yegor!) rebuilt my account to $330. I suspect that means I’m actually in the black when it comes to true lifetime poker results, but I’ve no proof…
