anything no limit - Jakes Diary

edited July 2014 in Poker Chat
Hi i'm from the north east of england, been playing poker for about 3/4 years but mainly a year seriously. Theres a group of 3/4 of us who play live around twice a week and grind out a profit from live mtt's every month (somehow). I play anything no limit on sky ranging from satilites to heads up to dym to cash and mtt, although i would like to think my strongest game is mtt, who knows!
 a little bit about me, love socialising with the lads weekends away, lads holidays etc. Really into football and love a good sweat with a bet on the footy or anything sport related (complete degen). just finished graduating from uni and have a full time job which my role is a family assisted support worker for North East Autism, and i thoroughly love my job.
The thread is about various types of poker and improving so will be posting hands from the games i play and feel are worthy to share with you all and want to recieve as much advice as possible.

    Hey mate. Tricky posting hands. DONT do it from the hand history in the download do it from the hand history from the IE. Then its just a case of finding your hand and copy/paste. Although I find if I actually copy the part with the hand number it goes crazy. Just literally post the table/grid with the hand on. Hope this helps.

    how to people feel about getting it in on the flop? I know I'm not beating a hell of a lot, but I've underrepped my hand pre flop, and his large 3 bet suggests to me he has a draw, as he has position and I have betting lead if he had a set etc...

    In general I dont like it, You fold out all bluffs, get stacked against aa,kk,qq and sets and are flipping against any flush draws

    Its fine, you wont be folding out bluffs in this scenario. The guys put in 720 with 1130 behind, hes not folding, with AQ here only move is all in really.

    Think it's the initial raise on the flop when generally you'll only fold out worse and get called by better/decent draws.

    Good luck with your Diary, Jake.

    I would imagine working with autistic people is most rewarding.

    There seems to be far more autism these days than used to be the case. Do you have an idea why?

    agree with you normally and often guilty myself of giving this feedback and 9/10 would never take this line, but as i have underepped and the raise utgafter his re raise dont you think that opens the idea of the draw up? 
    Thankyou for gracing this thread tikay, i firmly believe it is because more people are getting diagnosed as the condition is now widley know from what it was 20 years ago, so an increase i think down to more children getting diagnosed from an early age. With the job it is very rewarding from my prespective, anything i can do to make their life easier and happier is a positive.

    No i would definitely stand by my opinion on this one i think most players would flat with aq so early on so i wouldnt say you are underplaying it, and by reraising that flop you allow yourself to be 3bet at which point his range crushes you as very few people would play qk or qj that way, there was a small chance he had a draw but most of the time he will show up with aa, kk qq or a set especially at the early stage.

    Hey Jake, good banter yesterday! ;)

    IMO your line is fine, I probably flat the re-raise on the flop or bet smaller if I flopped a set in all honesty. Think my line was a little too obvious that I was on big draw. Still, never a bad thing to play it fast (either hand) in those types of tourneies IMO.

    GL at the tables and all the best with the job!

    totally agree double up early doors and usually make a deep run to final table, and can call of bounties a little lighter, whats your thoughts for calling for bounties? call light? i think if you flat the flop after i check raise i sh** myself but the re raise to me look like a draw, good banter mate all is fair in love and war.
    update last night big night at local casino, despite having over 25% of chips in play and only 9 bb lol 6 handed decdied to chop and play for left over 310 lucky enough i did as next hand big stack has aces and i have queens gg me.

    another hand, interested in knowing whether people think this is a call, the villain is playing like a maniac and getting very annoyed by chipping him down and open shoves quite regularly. interested to know if its a call, depending on stack sizes, prize jumps etc?
    and would anyone be kind enough to sharkscope some information on my mtt game roi etc and dym's please!

    If he has been playing like a maniac and its a turbo event i think you have to call, if its a slower structure then the fold is fine because if you believe you have an edge you will be able to find a better spot.

    I think AQ is a snap, A10 is a pass and AJ somewhere in the middle...Lean towards a call if the blinds are about to go up, lean the other way if they've just gone up.

    Fine margins.

    its the 200 guranteed so it's quite slow-ish, knew i had the edge or believed so but i know he's shoving with a lot worse. Thanks for the input guys!

    3 handed, if they are shoving really wide here, would snap call with AJ.

    Hi mate, yeah as we discussed after he had gone - You had an edge over him (as did most living things) and he was playing like a maniac. If he's doing this with any two, you're still giving away too much of an edge to call off and hope to hold imo. good fold.

    I had similar experience live on Friday night. Had just bust the tourney a few off the bubble after a guy in bb calls off 15bb with 5 high and gets there (I had 16bb). Sat down to play cash and this drunk Chinese kid sits down and instantly makes it 23x UTG. After a couple of giggles we all pass and he shows Q9s. Bravo, vwp.

    Next orbit he ships £200 after a 5x open and two calls. I have £90 and ATo. I know i'm ahead of his range so I call off. He has 92o. Board runs out 2QQ2T and he takes it and celebrates like he's just won The World Cup (topical). I knew the risk but was happy to do it, and in a cash situation i'd do it every time, but in tournaments v manicas I would only take the risk if it didn't cr1pple me, and I had enough chips to grind my stack back up.
