I'm not proud of what I said but I was getting a bit agitated by him tbh. This is a guy who sits at the table at criticizes everyones play. He thinks he is a poker god and I wanted to put him in his place. I shoved with AK then AJ with 10bb later on and he said im such a 'donk shovemonkey idiot' or something like that. Too bad I ran into AK with AJ. Would have liked to teach him a lesson in poker. Now come on... lets be honest here... I'm right aren't I? It wasnt an overbet... and I cant be 'value betting' the river? If shes got a hand that she'l call 1.6k... shes got a hand that will call 3.5k. I've got to stick it in on the river especially when I hit the nuts. It keeps bluffs in too as I was probably doing it regardless of the river (maybe). Be honest here guys... what would you do?

Want to see how you can convert 2.5 bb at 75/150 blind levels into a 6th place finish in the 2k BH.
I bet you do.
Nice.
I ended up HU against donttellmum as everyone else had left. I've hardly ever played against donttellmum let alone HU, but rumour has it he is a decent player.
I think I got him quite frustrated really. We barely ever got down to showdown, and after reloading he started open jamming pots. He showed one as a bluff when I had folded A8s.
Think i played OK as HU cash plays quite similar to HU tournaments. Theres a lot of bluffing and semi-bluffing pots and youve got to pick the right spots to extract value. Made a mess of one pot. Think I could have stacked him as he was quite obviously bluffing...
Thoughts on this hand please:
Should I just call the turn and let him fire again or is this fine?
However.... i'm uber proud of this lay down. A few months ago i'd be snapping this off then tilting cause my KK didnt hold.
Cutting out some leaks!
SO irritated... not sure ive ever been this annoyed about poker before.
Playing £1000 BH. All going well.... im one of the chip leaders and even have a few bounties.... then this happens.
Its not going right for me today... it's been pretty tragic.
Cant work out if this is bad play or not in the 12:30 BH.
Obviously if i flat here then I can get away on the river... but with 2 oppos in the hand i figure 1... or maybe even both are on healthy draws and i've got to raise.... Min raise makes no sense here leaving so little behind. Shove, call or fold but why would i call flop to then see a perfect turn card and fold? Obv I cant put anyone on a set... no raise pre so its highly unlikely. I was praying for him to turn over 109.... but i guess that beats me in the end too.
Bad play or just unavoidable?
I was pretty irritated last night.... mainly with the post I posted 2 above this, but forgot about it today and got on with it...
First tournament of the day I entered I went out 4th hand. I had JJ. Board was 78102 when the money came in. I three bet pre in the blinds so the pot was already quite infated. He had flatted KK back in position and I was a gonna after flopping a gut shot and overpair. Guess its just how it goes... Maybe I could have played it more passively.
Either way... second tournament I entered was the £350 BH. Things went much better. I ran 77 into KK (KK was shortstack) and turned a straight. Went through the tournament pretty solidly, accumulating chips at quite a nice rate. I managed to halve my stack in a silly bluff. He was raising my BB almost every orbit and I got fed up of it and thought id take the initiative.
It backfired.
Anyway I get to the final three and Diva's connection has gone so its effectively heads up, and this was the hand that effectively won it.
Lets hope for another win later.
Now i know I should be relatively happy with this but im not.... but i'll get to that.
I started the tournament uber strong.... now I know it may sound arrogant or whatever but I was put on a table where I knew I was better than everyone else - unlikely I know but very true!
Everyone limped into everypot. I could raise 6x pre and still get 2 or 3 callers, and they all called into their draws. I could read them like a book. It was good because I could get max value from every hand and knew when to bluff. After the first hour I had 5x my stack and was sitting comfortably in 1st place.
Then I got moved.
Really struggled adapting to the new table having had it so easy for the first hour or so... getting 3 bet felt uber weird and I had to tighten massively as I didnt know everyones game. I was up and down for the next hour or so but made it into the cash (final 6).
Managed to swing myself a big pot when the chip leader tried to bluff me when I was holding TPTK.. and I was sitting up top along this guy for a good half an hour.
Now this is why im not happy... when there were 4 of us left. Me and this other guy were chip leaders and the other two each had about 10bb each. I was happy to put pressure on them when needed and wait for them to dwindle in chips so I could knock them out.
The other guy however just looooooved to see a flop and looooooved to bluff. He doubled up the other two players twice... each.... And suddenly we were all even.
I just dont know why he wasnt more patient. I was 100% certain we'd both be heads up but I got caught and suddenly had to start winning a few pots here and there when I didnt really want to get involved. Couple that with some loose players that will call your 2.5bb raise with AK with whatever they were holding to little hesistation in jamming a 4910 rainbow flop. Suddenly I was 4/4 and pretty irritated.
Another guy bust missing his draw and I was left with 10bb. The guy who was shortest with 4 players left suddenly had 40bb. I jammed my KJs in a limped pot and he called with Q10os quite happily. He turned a Q.
Really disapointed as there was close to 200 quid up top and I was certain with 4 left that I'd be crushing the other chip leader heads up.
Sigh. Thats poker.
For those that read this (if any) you may be wondering why I dont post a BR... Its because I feel like I put too much pressure on the money (winning or losing) if I post on here. I should just be focussing on playing good poker and hopefully the BR will take care of itself.
Then he flips over JJ. Is this a case of villain just being reluctant to fold a high PP or was this just a poor spot to try and take a measly pot?
Id created a believable story from the flop onwards and because I bluffed the flop its now a 600 pot by the turn which is quite sizeable... I guess I thought i could steal it off him.
Fair point. Dont get involved in pots you dont need to. Bluffing is almost always going to catch up with you unless you have such a tight table image.... but on sky things like that dont matter...
Apprentice! Pah. Youre giving me advice!
49th in mini
Dissapointed.
Shoved A10 into AA and AJ into AQ.
Had about 15 bigs in each hand so maybe i could have waited for a PP... but in both situations there was only 1 to act behind me and i thought id take a punt.
Hate this game sometimes.
Still in both...
Midnight tournament. 11 left... im sitting 3rd then this dh does this.
He did it earlier as well with pocket 7s and I clawed my way back into it.
ITS NOT A FREAKING BOUNTY HUNTER.
ARGH.
Just went out in the 12:30.
Came 5th. Got about 40 quid including bounties. Was short stack on final table and shortly after a double up I turned top two pair... too bad he had turned the straight. Still think I could have gotten away from it but I was short stack and needed another du to have a shot and too much was already invested to fold top two.
Its the story of this diary so far... yes i've had a couple of wins here and there but the main theme has been me running deep in tournaments then losing a flip or just getting coolered. I cant seem to get into the serious money at the minute. I noticed one or two errors tonight. One may have been folding the aces. If I shove there like I was thinking pedrom definitely calls and I beat him. If madpat decides to come along too I lose as he turned and rivered a fullhouse... So I could have gone out earlier but also could have DU.... we'll never know.
Too many min cashes for my liking. Got to sort this out somehow.
Its obviously a shove or fold situation... but if pedrom comes along after the shove its likely madpat will too as hes priced in with a lot of draws.
I cant put pedrom on AK as there would 100% be a reraise pre. Could get KJ out my mind... and then after mappat called the pot bet i got a real headache.
The donk pot bet and then call just reaked of strength but im aware that maybe I should have stuck the lot in and taken my chances to double or even triple up.
Couldn't launch game

I've seen many a complaint about CC but there are a few people there at least who are very helpful.... and its good to see both sides of the coin.
Got to the final table of the 1k bounty hunter.
First hand on the final table this happens.
SO.FRUSTRATING.
Played pretty solidly throughout that so pretty pleased with it.
I got heads up about even stack sizes.... then got dealt 72 about 10 times in a row... not much you can do when oppo is hitting flushes and straights and youre sitting there with bottom pair.
Anyway I finally picked up an ace (AJ) and jammed and got looked up by 33.
Game over.
Still 2nd is nothing to be shrugged at.... plus i blitzed past the 3000 C4P mark today where the £/p increases substantially... so all in all not a bad day.
Suppose it could have been a whole lot better.... but hey ho.
