Hand id 216332737, literally a couple of minutes ago in the £200 bounty hunter
The table is full of calling stations, therefore when deal the Aces under the gun I chose not to limp hoping for action behind as it would probably have gone call call call call call. As it is, my 3x raise had that effect anyway and suddenly I have a bunch of opponents in a pot that's going to get out of control fast. Therefore when it comes flushing I bet big just trying to take it down, not presenting anyone with the odds to hit their flush - however once one has I suppose the other gets the odds - anyway with 2 people on the same flush draw they have less chance, right? Unfortunately turn comes a spade, I realise the mess I'm in, decide that if anyone puts me all in I'm going to call anyway so I may as well put the chips in first and hope for the redraw nut flush if it gets called. Obviously this doesn't happen. So how did I get myself into this horrible situation. Should I have bet bigger preflop, say 5x? (If so, it goes fold fold fold and I've wasted the best hole cards in hold'em, though better to win a small pot yadda yadda...), how about maybe the overbet or the all in on the flop just to take it down? And should I have gotten away when the turn card fell?
Hi. I think in all my poker time that this is the best hand I have played with JJ but ultimately the result was not good!!! Could I have done anything different or should i be pleased to have got 2 players all in with draws?
Yes - a really terrrific Omaha hand,& that's what makes Omaha such a great game - so many possibilities.
Unfortunately, those possibilities do not include, at present, the ability for Channel 865 to Show Omaha hands I'm afraid. It's a pretty cute piece of software-gizmoery that is needed, so that may take a while to write.
Tikay, i never moan about a bad beat but this one is so bad and quite a large cash pot i would like to share it with the sky poker community...this was 5am ish and i had been waiting for this guy to double me up as he is hyper aggressive... please if poss can you show this hand...
You may like to show some of this on the tv show. my alias is ICASHMORE mtt £100 gtd 23:15 - 29 Dec hand no.s 218674792-218718957. the tourny lasted 2.5hrs , but the heads up between me & Karnage lasted 1 hr. It was an absolutley epec battle. At one point i had 4000 chips to his 46,000. Its really a great example of how to progess a tourny.

A description of what happened and why you would like us to play your hand: I think i was on the SB with A 8 Suited clubs everyone had folded up to me except the button or one under who just called. So on my turn i decided to raise by 3 big blinds (i looked at my position before but decided that because the other players just called and were playing quite tight previously i maybe been able to take it). I believe then that the big blind folded and the caller from the button/1under snap called. This alerted me straight away. The flop came: 7c, Ac , 9h. I decided to place a bet around 1/2 the pot even tho i missed the flush and only hit a ace pair with a mid kicker. i decided to do this because i was the intial raiser before even tho i was alerted by this player for the snap call. Not long into the players turn he pushs all in. I had a think about how this person played this hand and how they previously played hands and i decided to fold. I think i lost about 1200 chips of some 3000 odd. The reason i folded the hand was i believe the player had a Ace with higer kicker or even a ace and another pair. I think the had this hand because they quickly chucked it all in and i had quite a decent reputaion on the table. when they did the snap call pre flop i thought they probs had top connectors as if it was a high ace i would have thought they would have reraised but i suppose they could have been baiting me in.
Anyway the reason id like you to have a look at this hand is because i would like to know how you think i played, what improvement i could have made, if i made a good fold, to see what the other player actually had and maybe it might be a good demostration of aces with not the best kicker.
There is a couple of things id like to say sorry for. 1 the presentation of my post (i dont post alot) and 2 if i got any of the details wrong from the hand.
thanks for looking and considering. may send it as an email coz i really am curious on this hand
had kk so raised pre flop. got called by one guy. on the flop i raised again got raised 400. He had large chip stack so i thought he was bluffing! went all in, he called and he had aces and wiped me out!!! Would really like to know if i should of played this differant??

Crw Hand History #220953573 (00:09 06/01/2010) Double your money
It was level 1 and I was one under the button SB 10 BB 20. First player raises to 40. Next player folds to me and i have King of clubs Queen of hearts and i raise to 80, seems i have quite a nice hand and position and the 1st raise was small. The button folds and SB calls. BB folds then orignal raiser reraises to 240 and its back to me.
So i look at my posistion look at my cards and i decided i got a nice position but im not liking the situation as it is still early on in the sit and go. I put this player on Q paired or higher pair, cards like mine or ace high kicker. Due to my position and stack i decide an extra 160 chips is not an expensive cost to learn abit on this player even if i am beat i can fold once i see the flop and see how this player plays once the cards are down. The SB also calls so i guess he could also have any of the hands i put the orignal raiser on.
Then the flops comes 6c, 5h, qs.
All im going to say is please put this play on. Im sure you can work out why i folded but if not feel free to ask.
The most recent batch of hands we recorded with Trevor Harris started going on air Sunday (Primo) with the rest to follow this week (Thurs Bounty Hunter, Saturday Master Cash and Sunday Primo) I'll post them on youtube this weekend...

could u show my best hand so far.i got straight flush and i won that tournament.the turnament was 14 01 2010 B/h300guarantee 22H 45min.and also the final hand.it was brilliant.ty sky the straight flush number is223963101 and the final hand is 223979669.pl play my best ever hand ty
This was a hand I lost to the one card that I could to. I had a straight flush, the first one for maybe a year, and probably the reason I gave no thought to losing it. I'd like to see it replayed to see where I went wrong on the betting, ie whether I should have gone all in prior to the river. In the event I sat quite smug and happily threw it all in when Euge-cfc did! He took a very nice pot of over 8 quid on a 2p/4p table and congrats to him.
I can't recall table name but here are other details
My name hecate
15th. Jan. 2010 at 6.20am. Hand No. 224011912. 2p/4p table.
Ace and flush draw on flop. I'm drawing to the nutflush. I know the player is a good player, so flat call the flop bet as if I re-raise I am vulnerable to another bet. I call the turn bet, as they either are on the same draw as me or they have made their flush already. If the club comes, I'll have all the money, and it only costs what I would've re-raised with on the flop. When the river comes a blank, I'm even behind to a badly played A, so I give it up. They claim in chat to have 10cJc (flopped flush)
#224880943
Probably lost all semblance of table image by now. The re-raise on the button is suspiciously cheap, but might be trying to buy me off cheap / get aggressive in position. So I re-raise trying to take what's in the pot. Another raise means aces, but folding now leaves me pretty short and I'm in "Go big, or go home" mode, so I call, knowing I'm up against Aces. With Sara & SoLack at my table it was going to be a long enough night as it is!
I had AA and raised it up to 3 times the big blind to 150 I think and got 3 callers, the flop was K 10 6 all of different suits, I then raised it up and got 1 caller. The turn was K which slowed me down and I folded to a decent size bet. Was wondering if it was right to fold. I realise I possibly could have raised more pre flop but did'nt want to scare people off. I ended up going out on a ridiculous bad beat that ive since wiped from my memory :-) but came back the next day and won the same Tornament so it's all good.
Thanks

p.s do you have to finish in the top of ten eg torney players to be considered for the total player? I hav'nt had much of a chance to play since it started until this week so ill be playing a fairt bit.

Flop comes out with all hearts but i flop bottom 2 pair. I think ~I bet and am called. A blank card comes on the turn and I bet out again. I am reraised so decide to fold even though I have strong suspicion a move is being made against me.
I have found that bottom two pair on flop tendss to lose me money.
