In Response to Re: Duck the Bounty Hunter : I'm watching you, Ducky. Think we need a celebrity cash challenge! ...but not this weekend - I'm busy Posted by Slipwater
Who would be the celebrities??
My only challenge is not to go bust before the end of the month!!
A football fan? Yuk! Sigh - you've lost a couple of points there Ducky. Posted by Slipwater
Long time fan and silent lurker Mrs D! .. And you being an Arsenal fan has only enhanced my opinion of your overall great bloggage!(if thats a word?)And to defend a fellow Arsenal fan for our sins. We always struggle against Man Utd and the draw was a shock the way we were playing 1st half,good result with a game in hand.Good luck at the tables.

WSDD? First time I've posted a hh and asked for advice, so be gentle please! I tend to go by feeling when I play so don't know/can't work out all the numbers etetc. This is the first time in a while I felt really unsure if I'd made the right decision and keep thinking about it now. Is it a close one? It feels/felt close! Three handed at a 50nl MC table, X is a fairly frequent reg who I've got tagged as a good player. He is known to re-raise pre and on any street without fear, quite regularly, and I've caught him doing it as a bluff twice. So... ~ What should Ducky do?
As a good, creative reg I'd imagine the squeeze pre would be a fairly wide range.
They probably have to bet most flops then, although depends on how wide they think you call 3-bets. If they've missed completely then it may not be worth them bombing when it's quite likely to hit hands you'd call 3bets with?
So when you call flop, oppo can rule out most suited connectors and mid-small PPs (unless you've been floating lots). Has to put you on (mostly) a range of broadway combos, many of which are likely to call the turn c/r, so if he's bluffing then it's only to push you off of any Tx straight draws of Jx one pair hands, maybe AK.
Therefore I can't see many hands that we beat here. And I sigh fold. Find a cat to kick if oppo flicks over some piece of cheese or QT.
But I'm no poker player. Just passing time on my lunch break. Look forward to reading the views of people that are, you know, quite good at poker
I think you are probably behind more times than you are ahead here, but if he has certain 2 club hands, and 10x hands then that is a great turn for him to check/shove on because it will be putting you in an awful spot most of the time.. against an unknown id say you are in bad shape most of the time, against a player you know is capable of making plays and bluffs then it isnt a really bad call and you arent ever going to be drawing dead. but maybe in the long run id guess you should be folding
I'm probably not qualified to comment on the hand itself, but I would say that this hand would have played out much easier if you were 100bb deep rather than over 200. My advice would be to play regular tables rather than mastercash as you will find these decisions will not crop up as much.
Also tend to find these tables usually contain at least one or two of the nightmare regs at each stake as they know they can own average players like me due to playing deeper. I would say avoid unless the table looks really good

hi ducky so sorry for donking u at the weakend i was tilting only reason i was there was to bust that fool sitting to your left he got me a chat ban and the weasel gave me a sutble needle when i lost a hand few hands earlier actaully thought u was going to name and shame the kitty for kicking her dirty little at u lol
really intesting hand this one i like villians line alot what for me the most important here is what villian thinks of u does he think u a pc type player who will xb the turn with a one pair draw combo ( with the flop play u have this about 80% of the time) or does he think u a agro type that will bet/barrel a scare card vs weakness
if u agro type a x/r shove with aces and kings from villian is a really nice play IMO and pritty sure will be a + ev play
if however villian thinks u a pc type player who takes free cards and no likes to inflate the pot unless u have a made hand it's a great x/r especailly with 9-9 j-j as he knows u got a-q k-q or to a lesser degree a slow played k-10 also he could think if he barrels it might scare alot of your marginal pair drawing hands out being as it's a paired board this way if u have q u will bet and if u have draw he might get some value on river if he slow plays and u hit, if he has j-j u are also a lot more heavily weighted to having a q than if he had 9-9 IMO love the play with j-j there
Hi all, thanks so much for all the feedback on my hand, it's really appreciated! and sorry I've been AWOL the last few days too! Thought I'd better come back for Duck Day ~ after all, it only comes twice a month
Ok this is getting way past a coincidence now, its just plain spooky, a 2nd place and a hand involving 22 on the 22nd for the past umpteenth months.....crazy!

Ha vnh Mrs D... if you could just stick to playing £22 BH at 2 on the 2nd and 22nd of the month you'd be a millionairess. Or something. Make sure to keep the language clean on here please Posted by shakinaces
If only that were true shakey! Unforch the one glitch in the system is that it starts at 3 ~ otherwise i'd def be a ducky squillionnaire
Last game of the season = Massive bet on Arsenal (massive odds not massive money placed fyi) lol Sort of agreed to buy someones car yesterday ~ this bet would actually almost cover my share of the cost! So good luck me
