Graffy showing no mercy lately

I think Sammartino is actually pretty good

Minieri judging by his game at spins is literally a fish, completely random button clicking.

To be fair 99% of live regs would seem like pressing random buttons in spins / hu hypers

he was punting around for sure but alot of regs from other variants esp the mtt guys come to blow off steam at hyper HUs and spins, i assume dario m be retired or busto if hes seriously grinding 30s spins or he could just #lovethegame

Day 2 with 100k in the main, pretty smooth day! Hoping for a roller coaster day tomorrow ending with 976k chips

u fold AK?

What did you table vs guy when you said "flopped a flush? I have to call my hand" and won. Don't think either were tabled.

Nah, would rly surprise me.

Why? He reps 55+ and has barely any bluffs

I mean correct me if I m wrong but my thinking on the hand is this.

BB call vs EP raise close to the bubble.

A 7 5 flop and BB checkraises. The only types of hands wanting to build a pot here vs a range that has a million Ax and strong flushdraws and all the nuts in it (granted two pairs only suited but still) are hands that have lots of and retain that equity well such as sets and combo draws. Sure some bad gutters with a heart sometimes decide to xr as well but I d be surprised if their frequency is above 10% of the overall xr range. Combodraws are 23hh 24hh 43hh 5xhh? 46hh 68hh 69hh 89hh. Value hands mainly are just sets as I doubt the a5 and a7 combos want to checkraise leaving the xcall range super vulnerable to barrels which are actually very likely to happen in this spot in the timbey. But sure throw a few in there on the flop. They won't matter on the river much.

Turn 4 (I think it was offsuit)

86 makes nuts, 23 makes nuts, sets are still the nuts and the pit plus draw hands have narrowed pads range so much that they (rightfully) perceive no gold equity on the turn and with the equity they have probably want to check and realize their ev for cheap which is going to happen a reasonable amount of the time rather than barrel and potentially get jammed on or whatever. I doubt many 5xhh xr the flop to begin with and the same thinking goes for turned 4xhh which has the little benefit of blocking A6 now but whatever.

When hab barrels here I think he ll be extremely weighted towards the butted hands he had and replied on the flop including the two pairs he did decide to xr. All together this turn is so good for yans range that I think many of not most Ax hands prob just wanna fold the turn right here and the only ones getting to the river from perspective will be "range calls" like black AK and some black AQ combos not blocking flush draws. AK being the much more likely one which then improves in the K river which is sp obviously a good card for pads that tan just won't jam the few A5 and A7 combos he had to begin with and will likely just give up on the quarter combo of bluff he got to river with given the icm of the situation and the fact that pads will have AA 55 77 AK at a reasonably high frequency as played when hab has his bluffs unblocking these hands entirely. His nuts tho all beat those hands and as such happily jam hoping for some frequency of hero call from AK and simply being the nuts and not really caring much.

Think the above is quite reasonable and as such AK prob becomes a fold vs even David who isn't going to be blatantly unbalanced here but still just won't be punting his guaranteed cash away in a spot where pads has top2+ a ton

Would love to hear pads thoughts on this I might Obv be way off

could be but can't fully exclude david ever has worse for value I guess. agree not much since pads is kinda uncapped (can exclude 86s quite heavily since pads was utg? & ofc 23s tho but still has all 2p+ & sets)

it's pbb fairly close which one is a better callinghand, really depends on davids strategy I guess (eg does he jam worse than ak for value) if he does AK is pbb better, if he doesnt a5s a7s better callinghands then. not sure interesting one.

I mean from combo pov david has

3x 55
3x 77
and I think only 86dd 86hh at some freq
and maybe 23hh

this is given he plays all of his 'nutted' hands this way, pbb in reality he doesn't and instead of 8-9 combo's he has like 5-6 combo's, and pads got like 4:1 on his call, so would need like 1-2 blufcombo's, this is given david never jams worse for value then

I agree though that yan's turn bet should of gotten rid of most of pads's weak one pair'ish hands so there is not much benefit in shoving river for value with 2pairs then on a river K, but then again people make 'mistakes' / 'wrong assumptions' sometimes so can't fully exclude it imo

Day 3 (and ITM) of EPT Prague with 170k at 4kbb, was on tv table today, wasn't too much action, but was fun there and felt comfortable at least, anybody watching see me do any live fishy stuff?

I don't want to go too much into what my flop strategy is, but I assume David will know it and thus ranges will be a little bit different. David could get to the river with a bunch of hands, I had a pretty good hand to call with, but folded because of icm and the fact the field was super soft and had a few guys wanting to punt it off to me on the table.

I just remembered when I was at your place and this happened..

https://www.boomplayer.com/6936332_99388C1089

This "reg" still around?

Lolol

you need to control your twitching/excitement a lil better, there's a visible difference in pots you're interested in and ones you dont care/whiff completely

I assume this doesnt happen in higher stakes liveaments but none the less, this will be important in the next days; I liked your whole outfit burried in and under the hoodie, scarf, glasses . do that and time your decisions a lil bit better ( a la online) and it will work awesome , best of luck to you and Sammy

Day 2 of the last ever 10k hr with good 160k stack coming back to 2k tomorrow. Have done really well in day 1s of high rollers recently, hoping for a big day 2 tomorrow.

Think it's day 1 :P

What do you mean?

Imagine that it is still day 1 not day 2!

I watched the German version of the EPT Main Event stream yesterday evening with Martin Pot and Jens Knossalla commentating.

When there were about 25 players left, one of the guys asked the other: "Is the 'Frechdachs' still in the touney?".
The other answered: "I don't know, what was his name?".
"I don't know, let me think, ah... Leonard. Patrick Leonard."
"Yeah right, that was the 'Frechdachs, no he's not around anymore."

Was actually funny because of the word 'Frechdachs', which can be translated as rascal or cheeky monkey, but is something without common use (at least in poker/sport scenarios).
Imagine that word being used by nice old ladies to describe their slightly naughty grandchildren...

No idea what has happened, but made me laugh hard

Ahahahaha this is so perfect

confirmed Frechdach

Dinner of the 10k, got 560k or so, coming back to 8k bb, 10 from the money. vamo.

meh, busted prob top 3 stack kk v ak aip. don't care though, played awesome and really happy with play from start to end in Prague. Bunch of deep stuff, some unlucky stuff, but poker is about putting yourself in spot to win a lot of money.

little report tomorrow probably,flying to London on Tuesday for new chapter in my life.
