tough break on that set over set hand, @Steamtyme. that gets me every time!
Yeah all I could do is laugh. I'm never not going broke in that spot. I took solace in the fact that I was behind from the start so it's easier to live with. Better than the night before where I got it in good 5X only to suffer some of the grossest beats ever.
AA flatting from HJ (2.5BB) , with 1 caller before me and BB jams (29 BB) Magic especially when I see 24 of diamonds. He runs out a straight
Has the nerve to pretend he was just trying to get knocked out, and not just being a donk jamming assuming it would get through.
i'm out in 10th place, at least i made it past the points bubble, just barely.....
I saw you make your last stand. Not much you can do there.
heh thanks, 5 people left. Im in last now.
And that's me. Thanks everyone. Good luck
Good run buddy. Yeah FT situations need a bit of balance. Especially if you are chip leading, better to let the smaller stacks knock themselves out fighting for pay jumps and/or position and only getting into spots that are really good for you, position wise and strong hole cards. Then again on a really passive fold heavy table you can mix in there and steal blinds.
Either way congrats.
winner winner chicken dinner
gg everybody
snagged 2nd in the little btc but couldnt do anything right in the med or big btc. Dont think i got one playable hand in 2.5 hours in the big
so frustrating. another fun poker-filled sunday!
Congrats on both. My Big BTC run was annoying, I had great playable hands early that fell flat and left me very short.
I hate pocket Aces. Every time I get them I lose, unless I go all-in right away. Yesterday was no different. I didn't want to go all-in in the beginning of the game, so I just raised a bit pre-flop, and was called by Goethe and SuckMyChips. Then I raised almost 10 BB after the flop, thought it would be enough for the villains to fold, but this was what happened:
Probably Goethe decided to bluff, and SuckMyChips ... well, I thought he had had pocket Js, 7s or 9s, so I folded. (I'm dying to know what he really had though.
)
That's how I lost more than 20% of my chips in the very beginning (with pocket Aces!).
That's tough you might have been up against a flopped straight or yes a set, but tough to say with no 3-bet pre. I likely would have played the call, you might have been up against KK,QQ or even Top Top. Either way good run.
See everyone next week. This video will be a bit clunky for whatever reason at the 2.75 hour mark it stopped recording saying maximum length. I missed about 20 minuted I think, but got the end with a second recording. I'll get it up sometime this week.
