@RIVEREDFLUSH vILLAIN RANGE IS wIDE OPEN
@MOAURLAWN AINT GOT IT IN ME. nOT FEELING iT AT ALL.

REST OF 2+2eRS. IM A LITTLE bUZZED, JUST fINISHED THIS FANT FTBALL DRAT, AND hAD A COUPLE HOOLIGANS OVER. iT GOT FILTHY TO SAY THE LEAST.

vILLIAN PERCIEVES ME AS a TOP NOTCH PLAYER, AND KNOWS iM A REGULAR.

aspiring pro hu against known winning regular,it seems he could pick alot better spots to
make a move. Im guessing he had tpgk+
after check on turn villian thought he was ahead and could get value

It's hard to put him on complete air. There really wasn't a big draw on the flop. Any K beats u that he may be trying to turn into a bluff. Any jack. It smells like kj.

Besides, some of his bluffs beat you. Sometimes when I am not sure mhig I will bluff with a medium strength hand.

When u checked the turn what was your thought process? If you think your ahead on the river, then were you checking the turn to induce? Or for pot control?

I think it's a fold.

Great question. I tanked check turn behind Villain to try to really put him on a hand. Does he river have a king? Wd he check a King to me ott? Does he hv straight draws? Or low to middle pairs? I usually saw him raise pre his middle pairs, so thought prob not. Did the J hit him? So essentially, I checked turn to really try to figure out where he is in the hand. The J ott wasn't too gd of a card either. Also, checked turn, maybe to go to showdown otr. Furthermore, checked turn, to see what he wd do otr. When he tanked shoved river, it didn't smell right; but damn it's sooooo close.

I'll give this a little more time, and finish up the hand late tonight.

I think that villain is trying to push you off of a hand like 99-QQ, which he probably is assigning your range based off of the c-bet on the flop and check turn. You are almost never checking a King on the turn, so he probably has you for a middle pair.

I can definitely see villain showing up with like A2/A4/A5 type of hand.

IMO you are good here more than your are beat. If villain was confident in his hand equity I believe he would make more of a valuish type of bet hoping for a call. The posture are describing in the villain I almost always associate with nuts or nothing. I'm inclined to think he is trying to push you off the hand.

Hope you called.

Cliffhanger.

Sick spot.

Tomorrow is here...
I haven't tanked this much in awhile. Def the longest tank of the month. @tswpoker1 we r along the same thought process on this one. I ultimately felt if Villain had a K he wd prob bet for value otr. I was still a lil worried about the J too...thinking he cd possibly jam any J hand. But after giving it sm thought, I fig Villain wd prob take the check/call or check/fold line on river if he had a J hand. The shoved looked fishy.
I stared Villain down one last time, and then went w my read and said "Call.".
He replies w, "Pair". I say, "How big?". Villain says, "Not big, u prob got me beat." I said, "I'm not sure." I'm waiting for him to turn his hand over, and the suspense is killing me. Turn your hand over already! Jeez. He finally shows 74 giving him a gut shot otf, and rivering a small pair.
Sweet! I table my pocket 10s, and scooped a nice one. I received the "nice call" compliments from a few table mates, and was soon in a poker zone. The kind of zones that makes ya feel like u can win every pot. Ended up winning +$783 on a short 4 hours Thursday.
Didn't play today. Went to a music fest w the family.

Poker is fun again.
@rayzrayl

Hell yeah Ray! Way to put the pieces together and go with your read!

Thanks @ashberj.

I guess I'll share my August month data w you guys since I hv no video to attach. It's another winning month, and the streak continues on. So it's been smthing like 2 years or so since I had a losing month. I think what helps this streak is making smart decisions and staying within the roll. Trust me, I wanted badly to play the Labor Day Tourney in Cincy, but I also need winning months that can provide. I just can't risk a bad month.
I think if I do have a losing month this year, it cd b in October. This month I am willing to take a risk. I'm going after these WSOP events at HSI. To me, that's worth risking a losing month. It's my one time.

August Cash Game results. Avg about 20hrs a wk playing just cash games. It's always been hard for me to log long hrs.



Tourney Results. Played 3 (2 Denny Crum events), and 1 Midstakes Main Event in Evansville. I wanted to play Cincy Labor Day, and HPT at Amerista, but bought a Jeep/took the conservative route. W the discounted rate on Denny's ($290, $425) and losing a full buy n at MSPT ($1110) brings total loss to neg -$1,825 this month on Ts.



Overall another winning month +$2,469, so I'll take it!



Appreciate all the support. Thanks for keeping motivated!!!

Well done Rayz!! Glad you make the good call, way to put together the pieces and figure this guy out. I don't hate his play, he just picked the WRONG opponent!! Against old man coffees, and most of the TAGs this probably is a +EV bet on his end, but he wrangled with the wrong cowboy on this one.

Keep crushing!!!

PS - I know you usually don't play Saturday's, but I'm heading up there in a bit and I'll be on the look-out for you just in case.

TSW

@tsw thanks.
My August stats r finalized, won't b back to the felt until Tuesday. Enjoying a Labor Day weekend w the fam. Gl today, let me know if u hv any interesting spots.

Thanks man. Today was pretty brutal, seemed to yo-yo all day, but booked a winner so I can't complain too much, just bled more than I would've like. I had a few interesting spots today, but one hand in particular made my kick myself.

I lost this pot to old man Pete, who you probably know. My table was very reg fested actually. Sue, Ron, Pete, and a couple older players I recognized.

So I was on the button and straddled $5. My table was very active and everyone loved to see flops, so I was only re-raising with premiums, but mixing it up with a lot of other hands. I get 6 other callers and look down at K6 spades and elect to check.

Flop came As4h3d, it checks around to me and I just check it, didn't feel the need to get too crazy. Turn 5s. Now I've got open ended straight draw plus nut flush draw, and it doesn't seem if anyone has too much at this point. Well small blind bets out $10 and Pete raises it up to $30. It folds around to a younger 2/5 reg who flats and then it's on me. This is the spot that I felt I screwed up on...I didn't think Pete had a 2 in his range unless it was 22, he always seems super tight. The 2/5 reg would have raised with the deuce so I figured he had a potential draw/two pair. I really tanked and tanked about raising and finally just flat called.

The river bricked out and both players checked. This is where I screwed up again I think. I don't think they are every checking straights on the river, and I have to at least try to take it down since I only have king high. Sure enough I check. Pete flips up KQ and drags it down with king high!!! The 2/5 guy flips 89s for the busted draw and I just laughed and mucked.

Do you think a turn raise is wise in that spot? I definitely think a river bet of like $70/$80 has to be made in my spot, I was just afraid it looked so much like a steal and didn't want to get re-raised.

Oh well, thats poker.

TSW

I am hardly ever raising the turn, UNLESS I can eliminate all 2s, 67, and set hands. Which is almost impossible. Raiser Pete, flatter, and original bettor can all have these hands. So the raise is just a bad play i feel.

I love how u played the turn by just calling. When river bricks, I also don't mind just waving white flag here either. Heck u only lost $35, and get to move onto another hand. It's so easy in 1/2 to find better spots to dub up. Although, it wd b hard for me personally to check river. Ole man Pete likes to make moves, so that's prob what he was doing on turn, but when he checks river he clearly doesn't have it. After 2/5 guy checks river, he clearly doesn't hv it either. I prob fire out an odd thinking bet of $77. If it got raised, just fold.

Don't mind the check tho either. U booked a win, so gd job buddy.

Do you have any goals, or challenges for this year? I didn't see anything posted this year, so I wasn't for sure. I really enjoyed last year's $40,000 challenge!
Great call on the tens hand.

@seamsaclean no particular goals for this year. Just trying to build the roll, and take some shots here and there. I'm open for suggestions for next year. I do hv one crazy challenge in mind for 2015, but still pondering. thanks

Today: won +$491 on 6.5 hrs. Feels gd to start off the month w a solid session. Tomorrow is a different beast though...Wednesday 2/5/10 game. I been noticing I'm getting a lot of action in that game, so I'm going to try to use that to my advantage. I don't get it...They always want to try to beat me.

It can never be said enough...Thanks for the motivation! Thanks for the encouragement! Thanks for following my poker coaster journey. One day we will get to the top.

gl tomorrow my friend. headed back to Biloxi Thursday for the opening wsop circuit events and uncapped cash games there. keep up the good work!

Are you tracking 1/2 and 1/3 separate from 2/5?

On my poker journal app I can filter the stakes to see my results from different stakes I play. Or I can filter days of week, casino, games, etc.
My totals are always w ALL stakes combined, but I can filter to see how I'm doing in a particular game, or stake, etc.

@ashberrj gl in Biloxi. Gl gl. Hope to c u here (HSI) in October.

Currently: getting ready to walk in the poker room and play a little 1/2 until the 2/5/10 gets going. I feel gd, look gd, smell gd; therefore I shd play gd/do gd. We will c...

WEIRD DAY

Today: I think it was an overall (poker+business) black day, but not sure. So I’ll work it out on here together w 2+2ers. Its confusing, where's the abacus?

POKER:

-played 3hrs 46mins on 1/2nl lost -$96
-played 1hr 56mins on 2/5/10 lost -$231
-played 2hrs 6mins on 1/2nl again won $71

Total loss on the poker side: -$256

BUSINESS:

So Wednesdays they have this promo of Aces full of eights gets u $50 OR can draw from 20 prizes.

Prizes include:

So I never had Aces full 8s or better today, but still did sm wheelin’ and dealin’. A couple of players this morning rather hv the $50 than draw. When I heard this, I offered each players $60 and took their drawing for myself. First time I drew a $120 voucher, and next time $0..

-break even on spending $120 on 2 draws, and getting a $120 nightly turbo voucher.

Guy later in the day drew another $120 nightly turbo, and I offered him $60 for it. He accepted.

-So + $60 on the nightly turbo (bought for $60, and seat value is $120). BUT may sell one nightly turbo voucher for $100 (cd b +$40)????

Around 5 o’clock in the day a 1/2 guy drew the main event seat. One of my buddies tells me at the 2/5/10 game I was playing, so I walked over to the fellow and made him an offer. As I walk up to the table i hear one of his tablemates offer him $700, and he shrugged it off. I say how about $800, he says a $1k, I said sold. Sucky part was I only brought $2300 w me to the poker rm, and I was stuck $1k in the 2/5/10 game. When i lost an aipf for $1k, I rebought for $800. That left me w a few hundo in my wallet, and not enough to pay 1/2 guy wo racking up. The decision was easy for me...Welp, I guess I’m racking up and paying this 1/2 guy $1k. Rule is if u get up from a game, u can’t play the same game until u wait 1hr. I decided to play a little 1/2 and after a couple hrs I just called it a day.

-So +$675 on the main event seat (bought for $1k, and seat value is $1675)

Total win on the business side: +$735


Total day: -$256 (poker) + $735 (business) = +$479 overall

Well, we found out together…I’m in the black +$479. I’ll take it.
of course if not itm on Ts, then red. To b cont'...

Nice wheelin' and dealin', no wonder u got that jeep for a discount!! Is the Jeep still running good, found any defects?

I could argue the seat value is $0 until you resell it for a profit or play and cash.

Sent from my SPH-L720T using 2+2 Forums

Here's hoping u cash and sell the Jeep for a profit..

He sold it for a 1000!?! What a deal. He could of sold that the day before the tourney for 1000

Hell of a deal. Congrats!

I mean 1300 lol
