ya when was the coheed show?



well i took a few days off now im super focused for the WSOPC Ballys stop, playing most of the series and feeling some final tables, follow the action live twitter @Wheydacheese

coheed + glassjaw are march 25th @brooklyn bowl
gonna have a group (think there's 7 total)

The GOOD: kicked off the WSOPC series at Ballys today, I was comfortable, composed, and played strong. Had some circuit grinders at the table but always felt in control of the table and reads were on point.

The BAD: It was a rude welcome back as the statistical anomalies picked up where they left off...big setback early when I get 5T os in bb, unraised pot 2 limpers, I check. Flop T-5-7 2 clubs, I check call a large bet and its heads up. Turn is 5 filling me up, I check raise the really large on the other player. River is the J of clubs completing the flush, I lead out small to induce hoping he will fire large with much worse to rep the club flush, he obliges raising most of my remaining stack (pot is already huge at this point)...I should of course shove the rest in but for the sake of tournament survival I flat on the off chance he has miracle TT...nope hes got the JJ for the 2 outer and I'm the table shortstack.

I battle my way back to maintain around starting stack, first hand back from the break I pick up AdAs utg, I can see a player directly to my left licking his chops and there's also a player 2 to the left who's on tilt, so I elect to open jam expecting some action. Player on the left with more chips than me rejams and it's folded around. He flips KK I think it was KcKd...flop is a safe TsJs8h...turn is even more ideal it's the 3s, now hes drawing to ONE out b/c the Ks gives me the nut four card flush...sweet...oh wait, Kh on the river and I'm hitting the showers. Back in action tomorrow for another bullet at the 250k gtd.

I'm still super positive and optimistic about being back at the tournaments, if anything it was a reminder that when I'm playing sharp/dialed in, these are the sort of things it takes to knock me out of these.

So you're saying that now you're due for a win!

Hi Ryan,

Looks like I was late to the party for this series, but I wish you good luck sir! Take em down! Will be going out in June and July, maybe we can meet up if you're out there too.

Devin Volta

fore sure, hopefully I'll stay heavy in the mtts this year


Well no day 2 for us in the first event, busto on bullet 2 with mixed feelings. I chose a more aggressive line than necessary based on my read of the V as well as my own image, I felt like there was a lot of fold equity for huge payoff with a positive equity flip should he have the rare top of his range...I still need to think on it more and will post here later for feedback. The justifications for the line still make sense to me but then again if I had played the hand in a standard fashion would not have been knocked out where I was so there is that question of survival.

The series, however, is young, and I'm looking forward to trying to elevate things even further in the $580 on sunday by maintaining the solid play thusfar but mixing in some of the less standard/more creative plays that have been successful for me in the past.

gl budddddd

Heading to LV tomorrow til Saturday. Playing in wsop tourneys, cash on the strip and random pit shenanigans. Looking forward to it.

$580 WSOPC at Ballys tomorrow. I'll be trying to find that perfect balance between the slow grind with minimal mistakes and abusing spots that my reads dictate. Ultimate goal is always no regrets. On twitter @Wheydacheese

I'm very close to following you. Give me something to put me over the edge.

give me time, I must win the endorsement of the actual Pope and mtt season right around the corner.



didnt happen for me today in the $580, I played well and mixed in some more aggressive/alternative lines. It was pretty smooth sailing first 5 levels and chipped up over 18k without any real drama, a few bluffs and some calls ect. lvl 6 was carddead and no real opportunities. I came into lvl 7 with just over 15k, picked up AK button opened it to 1100 at 200-400, bb goes 2200 I coulda jammed but flat and fold to hit 2400 lead on Q78 flop. next hand I flop open ended str draw flush draw but brick to action and fold river. next hand I brick an A high flush draw flop and fold to a large bet on paired J turn. next hand short stack jams and I snap him off with 55 but lose to his KJ. at this point I'm down to 6700 blinds still 200-400, I'm in bb with 7sTs and I flat a mid position min raise for 400 more planning on open jamming a lot of flops. flop is pretty perfect jam spot 8sAs8d since it will fold out his whole non A range (I can easily rep weak Ax here) I jam into him and he calls with AK, unfortunate top of his range on an A flop but I brick the flush draw as well and I'm out.

ah and when i say "next hand..." its not literally back to back hands its the hands I played in that level

Sounds like you are playing well sir. Keep getting it in, in those prime spots and you will come out on top. GL GL

In the bustout hand with 107ss do you think shoving will really fold out all his non Ax and 8x?Depends on your opponent I think but versus a competent player you can get called here much wider.You should be lead shoving 8x 0% of the time on this flop and to do it with Ax makes no sense either.Your hand really looks like a draw. If you are repping a weak Ax here why lead shove?You only get called by better Ax hands and don't give his air hands an opportunity to c-bet fold. Really interested in your take on this one

You make a good point on the not folding out all non Ax vs solid V...that said I don't really understand ur never open jamming in this spot...as soon as I call the min raise into 2100 pot leaving 5900 behind I'm never not open jamming this flop... I'm flipping vs virtually any hand (save big xsxs) and only have fold equity by jamming...if I check he's putting me in with any two cards as played...and I'm calling so why not add fold equity to my 0 current value hand? ...unless your point is I should want to gii but I'll always take potential fold equity without a made hand.

Busto 28th in the $580 today, have 37k at 1000-2000 300 ante blinds pick up 44 in LP make it 6k...BB with 32k or so makes a horrendous min raise to 12k, looks so dumb that I rip it he looks pretty pissed but calls and flip A8os...flop his clean but his terri-bad play is rewarded with an 8 on turn. I chop my last 6-7k AT vs AT then call it off K9ss < A9os. Pretty disappointed as if the 4s hold I'm pretty easy ITM. Played strong for 9 hours or so...will see if I can make it happen in the turbo tomorrow.

Was worn out the other day and didn't get a chance to mention it but you made two pretty contradictory statements here

1. 2. If statement one is accurate, he's calling me wider than his Ax and I should be open jamming ace rags too to balance and if he's not calling without better Ax, I should be jamming virtually all hands on this A flop for fold equity. He has no room to C-bet fold given the blinds and my stack size.

when i come out for the wsop, i usually just play that at the rio instead of any other cash games. people play it very poorly and its a ton of fun, the only downside is that it is insanely slow.
