    i know i,m not very good at cash or even poker full stop , but can i ask , why flat the 3-bet otf with 4 outs and runner runner hearts which might not even be the best hand ? me i fold otf after the betting yeah the 6 ott great i go allin then hope it doesn,t pair the river imho edit:are you looking at implied odds here Paul ?

    I made a mess of my original write up.
    "Implied odds" was what I was looking for.

    Yeah implied odds were the reason for the call. As I say it was questionable. If the raise had been a little less or we were deeper then I think it's fine. At that price it's probs a fold. 
    But I was losing big and I thought that there was a chance of winning a big pot with a very disguised hand.  Not a good reason but an honest one

    Just bust the vegas 2nd chance freeroll in 11th place
    Losing KK v 33 to go 2nd in chips with 12 left doesn't help :)

    As alway seems to be the case, the player who has sucked out on you ends up being the one to knock you out. Exit hand was fair enough i spose. He opened and i shoved AQ for 8 bigs. He decided to call with AA and i couldn't do a Jordz.

    Good game though and the £200 is nice.

    Edit
    Sorry if this appears to be a moan about having a bad beat/bad night etc
    Was just writing honestly about my night as usual. A turdd seems to have made the point about me whining elsewhere. I won't reply on there as i wouldn't want to derail a great thread. As a friend has just said. He's just a nasty piece of work who can't help himself. If he wants to grumble at me then i'd rather he did it on here than spoil good threads
    Turdds gonna turdd i spose

    VUL in the Freeroll mate, pity that some people have no respect for someone who has overcome massive obstacles in life and comes across as a genuinely nice person.

    Imagine how sad you have to be to stalk someone's thread that you obviously don't get along with and instead of replying direct you make a point of putting it on a completely different thread where you know it will still be read by all. Taking trolling to the MAX

    Doesn't seem like too much of a moan to me. 

    Also, props on turdd. People don't use turdd enough.

    If you're going to concede 95th minute equalisers, probably a good thing to do so in games that almost certainly have no bearing on whether you will get promoted / relegated.  I understand your opposition at the weekend are not in quite such a relaxed situation :/

    Surprised that he is manager number 3 of the season but Rowett is a quality appointment and, somewhat depressingly, I'd imagine he'll have your mob well inside the top 6 this time next year.

    Re: the hand above, I'd fold flop.  Gross if Wubble pops it up again and we have to bin off £10.

    As played, I'd get look to get it in on the turn for the same reason you gave for calling the flop.  Your hand is disguised and sets aren't going anywhere as a result of that.  I'd not be surprised if even 4s are happy to call in this spot.  Unlikely anyone has 2pr given the action so we're probably facing sets, overpairs or chopping with another 87.

    Don't feed the trolls.  If their oxygen supply is starved they'll hopefully disappear.  This diary is still ace.

    Unlucky last night Paul, I was silently railing you from 4 tables out and that was a sickener ith the KK/33 hand.

    Please keep mentioning the interesting/key hands it is a poker diary after all.

    FWIW your troll would probably have flatted KK pre and made sure board was safe before reluctantly jamming flop.

    Remember the good ole days when threads were such fun?

    No moans about bad beats tonight for once. Obv this is only because I didn't play.
    Watched a good doc on North Korea and Shin Sang-ok instead

    Got told off by Harry earlier in the car. He threatened me with the naughty step when we got home. Then he added that he was tired of having to shout at me

    Well that was an awkward end to a good night. I played 4 mtts.

    Bust the vegas freeroll and the 7 at 7
    I won the £5 deepstack for  £85.50 and i've just won the mini for £545.90.

    Horrible end to the mini. I got heads up and had a decent chip lead. Then, my opponent got disconnected. I timed down for 10 minutes and then he came back. I let him know that i'd been using the full time and got no response.
    He was back for about 5 mins and then disappeared again and that was it.
    Its been discussed a lot before about the best way to deal with it. It felt really awkward but heads up went on for 40 minutes and so i wasn't just mashing the raise button from the start.
    I decided he probs wasn't coming back and took the chips. Didn't feel great.

    During the 5 mins he was back we got it in where i flopped trip 5s and he made a flush. Would have been so much happier if i'd just held there and won it that way.

    Still, it's obviously been a really good night

    Remind me, was it last night that you asked  "what is it like to win a flip at the business end of a tournament?".

    Turns out you don't have to, just wait for them to disconnect. :)

    On a serious note well played mate, i'm very happy for you.

    I think a quote earlier today from everyone's favourite stalker deserves a wider audience. Jordz, Jdsallstar, Pingu etc, take a good long look at yourselves in the mirror 


    "You wont beat that group of bullying trolls goldon. A group that do nothing for the community but are still backed up by Tikay. Just ignore them all, it will be best for your health and sanity!"

    .....
    Off golfing. Have a good day all :)

    Golf was better than Saturday, which isn't saying much.
    My fault, I did my usual.

    Had a few good rounds and so started buying stuff. 3 shiny new Vokeys. Then I saw a super pair of shoes. Then on the way to the till i spied a pair of excellent slacks.
    One thing which is pretty cool is that I needed my irons tweaking. The pro noticed that there was some corrosion on a couple of clubs and rung Ping. Common problem with S55s apparently. Spanking new set being sent out this week ;)
    ...
    Played some poker tonight 
    Dyms went badly. Played bad and ran bad in a few flips.
    Played 3 mtts and played bad. Ran good and a won a few flips. A couple of heads in the mini and the £11bh.
    Came 3rd in the £3 rebuy to give me a £36 profit on night.
    Lucky boy 

    Cpfc is back crushing as usual. Just got there in time to see him win the Palace Invitational again.
    His staff will be happy. He might even give his driver a couple of hours off while he crushes some live poker in Dublin

    Eh?

    How the hell did I get dragged into that? Who am I "backing"? Who said I was? Why don't they just tell me to my face?

    Let me guess - the quote is from Facebook?

    Leaving Facebook was the best thing I ever did. By a long chalk.

    Yes, I've seen it now, & you are right, it's not an area of the forum I much frequent.

    I'm really not sure why people want to drag me into this sort of stuff, I'm just trying to find the smoothest & least bumpy road in life.

    Anyway, no matter, let's move on, life's too short. Literally.

    It's nice when people are nice.
    I've just been to the petrol station for my daily latte. Quite often I take Harry in there and he gets on famously with the staff. As soon as we go in he shouts "coffee please" at them. He then sits on the counter and tells them about his day.
    One of the staff in particular gets on with him. He is a bit fat, has a goatee and looks like the sort of guy you wouldn't want to bump into in a dark alley. Kinda like a grown up version of hhy.
    As soon as we get out the car he often uses the forecourt mic and shouts "Hi Harry" 
    Harry jumps out of his skin every time.

    He was working tonight. He asked if I'd seen the new £1 coin yet. I said I hadn't and he showed it me and told me to give it to Harry for his  money box. I naturally said I couldn't accept but he insisted.

    Only a small thing but it's made my day and it'll make Harrys day tomorrow.

    ...
    In honour of his return. Played 4 and won 4 dyms tonight. Booking the win ;)

    Not been on to moan recently. So for stalker benefit i'll really go for it tonight.
    Hardly played last week after having the nice little win on the Sunday night. Played golf instead and was knackered each night.

    Had a go tonight.
    Played 5 mtts plus a few sats.
    Got heads up in quickdraw sat and opponent open shoved J8 first hand. I had AJ and it was gg me. Got £44 though so that's ok.
    No good in the other sats.
    Bust 3 mtts but ran deep in mini and main.

    Bust in 20th in main in a totally standard 25 bigs spot. AK v 10's
    Bust mini in not so standard spot with QQ v Ak in 7th

    Was in 3rd place at the time and there were some really short stacks. Player who was, how do i put this nicely, err, totally crazy, open shoved 26 bigs effective. He'd done the same with 10 7 and a few other interesting holdings. Gotta call obv and got the bad news on the flop. Jim had just popped onto the rail so i guess it was kinda inevitable.

    So i'm obv the unluckiest player in the world but i made about £35 so it's ok :)

    Oh nearly forgot. Played a few dyms and i think i lost the lot. 10's on a 10 7 3 rainbow board and busting there in a £22 smarted :)
    ....
    Really liked how Rowett set Derby up on Friday night. 1st time in a very long time that we totally dominated a game. I fear a bit for Hughes in this system though.
    Local radio seem to think we still can make the play offs. No chance.
    ....
    New sticks have arrived and they're great. Played quite well on Saturday. Having another go tomorrow.
    ....
    Went pub for 1st time in 6 weeks last night. I've missed the pub.
    ....
    Incredibly pleased for CPFC. Railed him for a bit last night and chatted to him on skype on way home from pub. Got abit fed up with hearing the usual "FLOPPED SET" and was quite pleased when my battery went on my phone.
    If nothing else at least he might stop the whining abot running bad. I hate it when people have a moan about being unlucky.

    Harry has started talking like his Grandma. She does this bizarre thing that I've never heard before. She adds on pointlessly to every sentence. He's doing the same

    Daddy's naughty, he is

    Who do you reckon will win the masters? Seems to be getting tight at the top, I wouldn't be surprised if Speith comes through and wins it on the 17th.
