"Hand Request
Mini Main yesterday (Saturday 9/11/13)
Money or Glory? - Money. Id rather be making money from poker to spend on other things than win one big event, but still be a losing player. Poker is a means to an end, and i dont need my name up in lights... although if that happened itd be an added bonus
Cash or Tournament? Nothing better than winning a tournament. Although the rush in a big pot in cash can be equally as fun... however its less of a competition as you can stand up whenever. I like winning things. Tournaments for me.
#705178681 (01:15 31/10/2013) Master Cash 4
A bit of background: I've managed to secure the best position on the easy mark at the table. However, this hand is against a different player: Jac35.
Jac's open is not what I'd perceive to be a very narrow range and I'm happy to peel pre-flop to play in position and make some lairy moves post-flop. It's been a fun game and folding five-high just seems far too nitty.
I get a dream flop and suddenly I don't need to make any fancy moves. I raise the c-bet, representing air which I think makes up a large portion of my perceived range. When the 3-bet comes in, I don't think it makes sense. Either it's a very big hand, like a set, or it's air. Surely an overpair wouldn't 3-bet here against the range I'm representing?
I flat to give Jac the chance to barrel the turn. I'm only afraid of a 3 or a 4, though an Ace may hurt my action.
The turn is not the best of cards and when Jac checks to me I can't see that any bet can be called by worse hands. I don't want to fold out Jac's bluffs and I'm happy to bluff-catch most rivers. Thoughts on that?
The river is where things get very interesting. It's a horrible card for my hand. My question is; Can I bluff-raise here?
Even though my raise would be pretty small, I'm doing a pretty good job of representing a full house. The only Ace in my range is A4 and I think Jac could easily fold an Ace himself. He'd only be hoping for a chop against a raise-sizing that shouldn't look like a bluff... I definitely get him off any overpairs, which presumably makes a raise better than a bluff-catching call.
Thanks for your thoughts Brian.
Well, I can't be playing for the money, that's for sure: The milk I had on my cereal this morning was out of date two days ago.
So yeah, I do it for the "glory" of losing on the micro stakes cash tables.
Heart or head?
I don't like anybody or anything. Obviously that means I play with my head.
Cash or tournament?
I can lose so much more quickly at the cash tables. None of that frustrating drip, drip, drip you get with MTT buy-ins. In Cash you can lose it all in five minutes. No waiting.
Little bit of sarcasm in there. Hope you spotted it.
Have a great show Ryan and Chewbacca.
money or glory?
money- I was very highly addicted to gambling in the past spending lots on either the lottery, Irish lottery or slot machines but it was costing me far to much money and was just pure luck. then i tried a bit of poker for free and saw a new form of gambling that involved more than luck. so with my disabilities making jobs even harder than they already are i decided to turn to this.
head or heart?
head- i can go a step too far with my feelings so the heart would cause lots of problems. also i always like to solve problems and learn things anything that has strategy and planning. the perfect to use in poker.
cash or tournaments?
cash- i have lost my winnings far to much from MTTs now so they have become limited number per week. cash is my main form of poker for money purposes

Heart or Head?
I don't have a heart, I am heartless and have a swinging brick and I'm from Birmingham so pretty thick, so neither! It's all about the cards.
Money or glory?
Money pleeeeeeease
Cash or tournament?
What is the relationship between the Poker Clinic and Switzerland?
Is there some sort of sponsorship agreement?
Heart or Head? well my head just because i wear my heart on my sleeve
Money or glory? glory because if you take down a major tourny like the wsop people will know who you are you will all so be in the history books the money will be just a bounes
Cash or tournament? tournaments because i seem to be better at tournys than cash seeem to lose all in all my cash game lol
Hey Anna and ryan great show so far
My Poker?
Heart - I play with my heart because the most important thing is the love that people bring to the game. I believe if u aint got ur heart in the game ur not gonna enjoy it much and u wont win often.
glory - I play for glory as ur more likely to win if its glory ur looking for.
I ALSO LOOK FOR GLORY WHEN PLAYING LIVE AGAINST MY PARTNER THE_DON90 AS I LIKE BEATING HIM WHEN I DO
Cash - I mostly play cash as im more likely to get more money
rather than tournements when only a percentage get paid.
lol_i_call aka mel
also good luck to everyone playing tonight
You're obviously afraid of getting pwned by me at the tables. Explains why I haven't seen you back on there.
Keep up the good work guys
Don't be knocking Blackpool. Our beaches have just been passed as "Safe" to bathe in for the first time in eight years.
