So, in this spot I am in the Hijack (right of the cuttoff) with 55, umm so iv'e been at this table for 6 hands now and its been 4 handed sture1 limps with 7k,500 and I limp as wel.
The reason why I don't raise preflop is because all of these guys have been limping before and im currently playing small ball plus I just don't really want to invest to many chips preflop becuase of gibsonsilver in the bb i feel like if he has a hand hes gonna be raising me some ridiculous amount preflop too much for me to call pf and hes doing this to inflate a lot and then also when i do raise, lots of people just reraise with their big hands witch is what i wanna crack.
Small Ball... well you would really have to study on the whole concept behind small ball, but really in general you dont want to be limping at all if its warranted in any way while playing small ball so.

So yea I limp in Hijack and the Marijuana27 goes all-in now this is a very interesting spot because well for a lot of people they would go uhhhhh well no youre either 50/50 or your hand is crap.

But I think this is one of those general population type of calls heres basically what i was thinking when he shoves and why I should call...

1.The tourneys regular hands put in per hour per table at this moment of the tourney was about 19-22 ish from the start to finish. So in order to have a 7k stack right now he woulda had to made one good allin and then double up once more and then took someone out who had like 1500, or so some sort of variant like that but if you think about it when hes getting up to a stack like this in such a short amount of hands he must be gambling AT least a bit preflop.

2. His screen name is Marijuana, ok? I smoke weed and know what its like and he lives in the US.

3. Is something that works against me, you know sometimes players create certain screen names specifically just to give them some sort of tiny edge in some way like it will help their game in some 0.0009 or whatever i dont even know to tell you the truth. It is possible he picked this name for reasons like this but I don't think its likely enough.

So i mean in general a weed smoking player who has a 7.5k stack this early i mean he's gonna be putting in some funky hands in his range often enough i think u kno based on the general population in this like specific moment that it was correct to call here.
And i'm dead serious rofl... I just read that but yea serious...lol..... most FUNKY ass thought process WOW....

Another brilliant backed thought process gone sour :P.

Re: From the bottom to the top $0 - skies the limit.

Day 4: WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I did it my 14 tourney and I placed 43rd place for $0.90!!!!! Ill still play in freerolls though becuase the time investment and risk is ofcourse worth it when compared to the micro stakes!

I've been thinking for a while and ive come to the conclusion that my best shot at money would be to take my first shot at the 1c/2c Shallow 6 Handed NL game.

Now being that I have ummm you know 2 and 1/4 buyins I think that im gonna have to be really careful .

So im probably going to have to resort to bum hunting, ill be just observing people for hours on end until I find an allin donk type player hopefully I fare well

!!Hand BreaKDOWN OF THE DAY!!

Full Tilt Poker $150 Freeroll Pot Limit Omaha Hi Tournament - t50/t100 Blinds - 8 players

UTG: t1000 10 BBs
UTG+1: t2681 26.81 BBs
MP1: t995 9.95 BBs
Hero (MP2): t10860 108.60 BBs
CO: t885 8.85 BBs
BTN: t3224 32.24 BBs
SB: t1270 12.70 BBs
BB: t38483 384.83 BBs

Pre Flop: (t150) Hero is MP2 with K 7 8 3
3 folds, Hero calls t100, 3 folds, BB checks

Flop: (t250) 4 6 7 (2 players)
BB bets t250, Hero calls t250

Turn: (t750) Q (2 players)
BB bets t375, Hero calls t375

River: (t1500) T (2 players)
BB bets t750, Hero raises to t2250, BB calls t1500

Final Pot: t6000
Hero shows K 7 8 3 (a flush, King high)
BB mucks 3 5 5 J
Hero wins t6000

I really wanted to find an interesting losing hand for you guys, but I couldin't find one.

Anyways so K783 two hearts two diamonds PLEASE NOTE we are 4 handed right now not 9 handed there are 5 people sitting out.

Now the flop comes 467 rainbow and he bets pot I can hit a 5 for a straight and i have a pair of sevens.

This guy was really aggressive he c bet like 100% of the time and donk bet almost 100% of the time aswel so there was no way I was folding this hand.

The turn was another diamond giving me a flush draw he bets half pot, now becuase he only bet half and adding this into what he has done with strong hands i really didint think he had much of anything right here, so I called.

River comes a 10 and he bets out 750 into 1500 this seemed very weak to me and i basically knew i had him beat at this point.

I wanted to raise him small but I didint want to scare him out of the hand if he has something like a bad two pair so i made it 2,250 and he calls wth garbage???

Any ideas as to why he would call here?

Lol? Is this a joke? If i reraise i get no action from worse peeps behind me also if someone else calls to see a flop with me they are almost always going to be going in with like 10-QQ and AA once they see the flop they are in position and when they check they will look too weak and have to call an allin on the flop and when they bet anything they have invested too much so they have to call again.

So no DO NOT raise AI preflop...

Its not really advice its just basic HL knowledge and ill break it all down for you here then let's ask if anyone else disagrees with me without being spiteful. Also I will not be bias in this hand becuase I do want the true opinion of the public so I can laugh at you when they agree with me.

Ok, so here it is people mwallstars thinks I should push AI preflop with KK and heres what happend.

Full Tilt Poker $150 Freeroll Pot Limit Omaha Hi Tournament - t50/t100 Blinds - 8 players

UTG: t1000 10 BBs
UTG+1: t2681 26.81 BBs
MP1: t995 9.95 BBs
Hero (MP2): t10860 108.60 BBs
CO: t885 8.85 BBs
BTN: t3224 32.24 BBs
SB: t1270 12.70 BBs
BB: t38483 384.83 BBs

Pre Flop: (t150) Hero is MP2 with K 7 8 3
3 folds, Hero calls t100, 3 folds, BB checks

Flop: (t250) 4 6 7 (2 players)
BB bets t250, Hero calls t250

Turn: (t750) Q (2 players)
BB bets t375, Hero calls t375

River: (t1500) T (2 players)
BB bets t750, Hero raises to t2250, BB calls t1500

Final Pot: t6000
Hero shows K 7 8 3 (a flush, King high)
BB mucks 3 5 5 J
Hero wins t6000

Note: the blinds are 2,500 and 5K with a 600 ante I am at an M zone of about 5.

Do I just opt to call CO raiser preflop and so if i can get someone to come along with me becuase I can get more off of my hand that way? or DO I push and kill my action behind me.

if a player flats behind me then when he sees the flop is his very unlikley to fold for the rest of his stack being that he has.

or maybe there are even more reason why this warrants just a call here?

Day 6: Well unfortunately, I was only able to get one FR in and as you can image I didint place in it nothing really happend day 6.

Smile Re: From the bottom to the top $0 - skies the limit.

Day 7: Hey guys its time for the...

!! HAND BREAKDOWN OF THE DAY !!


Full Tilt Poker $0.01/$0.02 No Limit Hold'em - 5 players

UTG: $3.73
CO: $0.06
Hero (BTN): $0.80
SB: $0.40
BB: $0.83

Pre Flop: ($0.02) Hero is BTN with 7 K
1 fold, UTG calls $0.02, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.02, SB checks

Flop: ($0.06) Q 2 8 (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks

Turn: ($0.06) 2 (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks

River: ($0.06) J (3 players)
SB checks, UTG bets $0.06, Hero calls $0.06, SB folds

Final Pot: $0.18
UTG shows T 3 (a pair of Twos)
Hero shows 7 K (a pair of Twos)
Hero wins $0.17
(Rake: $0.01)

So a lag player limps in UTG+2 and I look up t K 7 I decide to just limp in because I don't want to give him a chance to reraise me out of the pot preflop.

Flop comes and we all check around so im thinking she def would have bet with just about anything here specially any sort of draw (yea shes that lag).

Turn comes we all check.

River comes a J witch player in the bb checks Tcer (lag player) BETS OUT POT once she did this I tanked.

I was thinking if she had a draw she would have bet if she had some sort of cards that were good for showdown value after a flop bet like AJ, KJ when she goes bet, check, check, she would have bet on the flop then.

So it just didin't make sense for her to have something I called and I was right.

She tables over 10 3 witch loses to my K 7 .

Easy call? Yes/No?
