^^^ Not hers......

Played 7 tables for 1 hour and got stacked 5 times!!!

Quality.

They were all with AA, KK and AK!!!

Gonna put them all on this thread, tell me where I went wrong apart from everyone making sets v me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

1) There's nothing else I can do here right???? Villain is a new name to me, had 400xbb+ stacks on 2 tables, will watch out for him in the future.

2) Ugh this one makes me cry reading it back. Again I'm out of position. I can't really put him on an ace can I? Do I have to continue betting the turn for value? Can I save the river bet???? I put him on 77-JJ when he flats the flop.

4) And here I know he's got a set I'm just already too tilted to fold. Can anyone fold here? He limps, he can only have a set or TJs when he makes that massive raise.

This is the ugliest one of the lot, should get away easily.

All of those within 1 hour. I didnt lose a 50xbb+ pot with anything other than AA/KK/AK.

Was like a procession of getting slaughtered.

I was just about to post on your thread in general poker chat and ask how the challenge was going!

Only had a quick look at the hands. In hand 2, you can probably save yourself the river bet because it's very unlikely you can get a worse hand to call and you def can't get a better hand to fold. To be fair, the villains flat pre and on the flop is awful.

Unlucky mate.

grantorino · April 2011

1. 3bet bigger pre, nh
2. c/f river
3. fine, although I might flat pre if hes tight
4 I flat flop, once you raise you have to stack off. Whether I fold later in hand depends on villain
5. Fold Turn readless. If i call turn not folding that river

Big Pairs...hmmmm.....

They looked pretty good, are they real? Are they built for speed or comfort? What'd you do with them? Motorboat? You play the motorboat? You motorboatin son of a b#tch! You old sailor you!
