As played it does look like a bluff although a lot of people still won't like calling with A high. Imo if we're gonna bluff this river, his range is capped to vv weak hands so we should just go really big on the river, maybe a shove, and we'll get folds almost 100% of the time
I may have got a loss but overall, i'm thinking that ive got an idea of where i might be making all these losses, this afternoon i suffered lots of losses but this evening these same hands were now getting me winnings.
all in all i lost a total of £53.79
cash -4p but the last minute cooler was what give it that
SnG -£6.85
MTT -£46.90
I did for a a fair amount of time have a loss of about £43 looking to happen on 888 poker but then came some good coolers allowing me to finish on that site with £8.21
being a live event i would be expecting the MTT to be played through the weekend as a whole and as i live in spennymoor i could just get a bus back to my own house if i knew it finished at a certain time, so could someone tell me, do these live MTTs stop at around 11pm or will they continue on to a later time and leaving me to probably get a taxi (as taxis will cost about the same price as a hotel
In the end i've still finished with more than i start with because i got £66 worth of cash from sats therefore i'm going to quit whilst ahead and leave the game for tonight.
I'll try and remember to just sit out next time.
as for the hand itself, maybe i caused the exit myself.
Q. knowing that he has R/F in the late stages of an MTT holding just 10BB, i don't expect him to be LAG. As they say, an MTT can't be won but it can certainly be lost in the early stages and nowing this L/RR has got high potential to be an AA, far more chance of that than QQ, should i therefore just fold my KK pre and wait for better times?
Most of the day I had been playing 6 cash tables, My first session was looking likely to be an awful start with me constantly winning small pots and loosing big ones, the trouble was loose passive were calling with all sorts preflop, played monsters deceptive and were frequently calling flops then folding turns. When the site itself went down, i could still play cash tables as long as i was already on them and as recs were unlikely to reload, the tables themselves began consisting mainly of regs, i could now have an easier job hand reading, therefore it was easier to bluff, fold or call and during that period of time my awful game turned into a great one although i still did finish of with a loss of about £55.
My two evening sessions were once again looking very bad ones indeed, again i seemed to be playing like a feeding station and not getting myself decent value with the good hands, at 11pm i tried one final route, I decided to play 13 tables together and incredibly this worked an absolute treat, I was no longer becoming bored as i would be likely to have a hand to play nearly every minute, I also found the losses much easier to accept because it was most likely to have been a loss that was made up on the rest of the tables, in the end nl20 usually has more recs than it has regs per table and if i'm so concerned about my BR dropping then i shouldn't be playing as loose against recs.
In the early stages i did get myself down to 1060 chips, I remained patient and about 10 hands later doubled my stack having hit a set on the flop.
Having started to read the chris moorman book and following on from how that KJs played out, i've started to analyse the board more carefully and though more carefully about my plan of action on the next street.
I also don't think its necessarily an auto 3bet from the button, calling seems good with position.
That hand cost you a 1/3 of your stack, when it really should have just been a flesh wound (as Tikay would say).
From the oppos pov if he shoves AQ then he's normally only getting called by better?
From villains perspective, we have to be reasonably confident with our hand. You could argue him shoving only gets called by better, or a monster combo draw maybe. It looks a little like a panic shove where he doesn't want to have to bet/call off the turn and is thus taking any decisions away himself by shoving.
If you wanna get into a levelling war, if villain thinks that hero thinks I wouldn't shove AQ, then its a great shove....
now this might sound stupid but knowing how high stress levels can get through bordom, the last thing i want to be doing is playing poker after having a boring day. So my target for 2015 is to start getting myself more active with things during the day such as bike rides and cleaning the house. That way come the evening i'll be feeling alot more relaxing and instead of playing poker as a way to get myself out of bordom, i shall be playing poker more like a relaxing and fun manner.
my second target for this year is set myself a study day.
most days i was getting on average a simpular amount of large losses as i was getting large wins.
what i found different today, I was happy, relaxed and had some time outside, I also now have started noting things that i see mentioned on deuces cracked s i've paid a fee to start watching the videos on that training site.
Today i got 5 losses over £5 and managed 6 wins over £5, my total outcome for the day was a loss of -£3.65.
cash was £1.38
MTT -£5.03
i had played som 888poker too and that one had today got me a win of $5.07
Now that I'm starting to go out more, I’ve been feeling more calm and relaxed during my poker session.
Today I had managed to make my way into the main event via a semi but didn’t last very long in the main event itself; I had lost one great chance to treble my stack in a way which can be debateable to some. Blinds were 30/60; my stack was 1820 and was in the SB holding A3s. The problem was UTG+1 had raised by 3BB, making it more risking of me making the call. 2BB or IP I might have called but I think 3BB was one too many for me to call OOP when it’s only really a flush draw I'm wanting. Unfortunately the flop came 833 and the BB, and UTG+1 both jammed their whole stacks.
MTTs were not any good but the cash games was a different story altogether. Normally I see these tables playing a very weak passive game. Today was anything but weak passive, one player got unlucky on a river, having 3bet pre and he cbets both the flop and turn, now I was in a very hard spot thinking surely my AQ is beaten, the river can happen to change the story altogether having come Q, the attempted river jam made by 34s was no good. Another player that got unlucky was someone with 33, he choose to Ch/R his pair on the flop 554ss, holding 1010 I make the call, unfortunately for him the turn give me a 10 and I decide to make the raise, he then went all in maybe thinking I hold the straight flush or nut flush draws.
I did receive 3heavy losses having gone all in with a nut flush draw 4 to the flush K high draw and over pair on the river Q8892 dd hh c, so to have still won £79.93 overall, I think it's a sign that I’ve been playing poker at the wrong times
Cash £92.63
MTT -£12.70
not much else to report really and knowing i've just did the stupidest of actions i'm going to call it a day.
overall i lost -£36.16
all in all i've lost another £16.94 and who'd have thought i would come out and say, "i wish i never did so good in highroller!"
the truth is i've still not managed to get anywhere near booking this holiday, that money i won is still sitting inside my bank account all because of the fact i'll need the carer with me.
What i'm going to do now is give this social worker one last chance and if he doesn't respond to my aunty on monday, we're going to threat them with a complaint.
to sum up how long it can take these clowns, i had been missing some of my medication and was set to have a program in place, it happened to take the social worker over 8 months to resolve the issue! The chances are i would have still been waiting had the social worker not been threated with a complaint on that occassion.
Think of it this way, whats the point winning money if i can't use it?
