Long with spacing, punctuation and correct capitalization so you can read it.

EDIT: but was hoping it didn't consist of:

I sat down and look at AA before getting my coat off. Someone 6 bets me all in and wins with 84o. I leave.

Damn was i that bad? lol i was more thinking about the situations, and reads and hands w bet sizing, then i was thinking about spelling and punctuation. Also i would like to add that is one thing i suffered in when i went to school.

Not sure if the community likes my TR or not. I mean you probably could read the whole Harry Potter Franchise and finish those before finishing one of my TR lol.
If so let me know. Or i will just try to keep my reads on each particular poker room.

Insane Night at Snookers tonight. Was watching other players plays who i thought where good only to see them spew.
Loud Obnoxious guy to my Right (thank God!) but he was trying to have a good time. With Three of his other friends, which was interesting spots. Afraid of being stuck between the two, almost left -$200 and something. Decided to Ride it out for a Profit.

So i sit down at a crazy table Buy in for $190 and put $125 down like usual. Plenty of Raise and Re-raises going on. Third hand in i raise to $12 w AK from utg. I get 3 callers and Small blind jams all in for $81 more. Pot has $36+$12+2=$50 in it preflop. Noticed two players left to act had played every hand since i sat down. I jammed for $125-$130. AK<88 Nice hand Sir.

So i keep folding looking for Reads on players and this hand comes up. Sal a regular makes it $12 i think preflop, OR everyone limps (which seems to make more sense). but to be honest i think everyone calls the $12. I am the only one that folded preflop. The Flop comes 7 8 9. I am talking about my hand to another player so i was like not entirely paying attention. i think Sal bet $12 and there where 3 callers lol. Small blind makes it $45 and there are 4 callers. Me and the guy to my left where like wtf? No flush draw either rainbow board.
The turn comes a 5 and the small blind shoves for $130 ish more. Guy folds and then Asian Guy shoves all in, And Button calls. Small blind shows 6 10 and the other two guys show X 6 for the butt end of the straight. Lmao $750-$825 ish pot. Easy Fold for the Button and i don't know what X6 is doing in the hand. Obvious small blind has atleast a ten.OR at least JT.

I realize that either i am going to lose alot of money at this table OR win alot.
I move seats And play some hands winning some pots. 3 or 4 people leave and we are replaced by people who make the other guys Nits. Guy to my right Is beyond Wasted. ( he was buying everyone drinks) And of course i get a head ache. I consider leaving but he straddles every hand and makes it clear he doesn't care about money. he was Lol at best. So i wait Patiently.

So i couldn't sleep and my mind wouldn't turn off. So
i actually just did my homework on this particular hand. I am not entirely sure that the ranges are 100% correct but it is actually a +EV shove. altho i don't know if she push/folds or push/calls correctly.
According to sheets spreadsheets (Awsome program) And first time using this particular part of the program. it says in order for my shove to be +EV i need to be atleast 33% against her calling range. If i poker stove it and Give her 13.1% range of hands she is calling with (no fold equity) i have 42% equity in the hand in this scenario. So shoving here is +EV against a competent internet player. She was pretty competent as a live player and i am not sure if she has a tighter range,which we can agree live players usually do.

So in retrospect i am very happy with my shove here.

Don't you hate it when you find a juicy table like this and you just can't make a hand? Glad you ended up with a profit. Thanks again for all the TRs.

The only thing I have against always making the +EV move in live tournaments is the fact you usually are only playing 1 a day. Most of the programs/spreadsheets are recommended for Internet play where you can play 10+ tournaments per day and where opening raises are from a bigger range of hands. You can always make a +EV play and expect to do well in a couple of those a day.

In live play, marginal +EV plays take too long to come back over the long haul when you're playing 1/10th or 1/20th the amount of games compared to online.

One thing for sure, I have NEVER met a woman that would raise pre-flop and fold to a shove for less than her stack in a charity room tournament. You can usually get one to fold that limps in but there aren't many women that have a big opening range especially late in a tournament.

That being said, I have no problem with anyone that makes a +EV shove because, well it is +EV. But I'd rather wait for a better spot. You won't get many limpers at the later stages of the tournament and can shove from LP if first in with napkins and pick up the blinds pretty easy.

Looking forward to meeting up with you guys someday. I may even run out to Snookers late (after football practice which is way too late to play poker) when you and/or Jose are up there.

lol I was BTN in this hand.


my call was terrible and I hated it immediately given the price but I was so sure I was calling for a chop there like 90% of the time. obv wrong in that instance. if SB was a diff player I would have folded without much thought I've played with him a few times and he'd shown some super spazz tendencies when stuck. there was some definite winning tilt that factored in that call too, a big leak of mine.


the 5 was on the river tho, and some of the described action was a bit off, not that it changes anything.

Your Bald head Big guy (works out pretty cut)i have played with you like 3 or 4 times? Hoodie unzipped?

You Jammed Ac4c Over my continuation bet of $27 on AsKcXc, and i had Sal behind me?? Sal Calls w A8o (lol)And hit the 8c on the River.
Also the above hand i missed some of the action. I thought the turn was when everyone had the straight. IF i am wrong i am sorry. And yes the Guy was super spewy.

A part of me Died when he left w $900+. i almost started to cry as i wanted to those chips. BK aggressive regular who i think is good (found out he is spewy preflop yesterday) Triple barreled a openender on the guy and he lol called w KJ on JTx board. so yea if that guy stuck around one of us where getting his chips.

By the way what is your name? you seem to be a pretty decent player. was one of the first mistakes i think i seen you make. I played with you before guy to your Right was Fish (he played 2/5 and was waiting for a seat). he was in seat 1 and your where in seat 2. you made some great calls that day. LOL maybe your a station (hahaha joking). This is of course if your the same guy.

.
yea also not trying to be a dick or rude or anything. Just wanted to say if the Asian guy is calling (which he was bad) i would think that one player might/has to have a 6 here. That is off course if they are stupid and go broke w a set here. but i think sets just call here cause they are afraid of the 4 card straight.
So without knowing the results. one of the two players has to have atleast a 6 here or most likely a Ten. with a 7 8 9 board i think i am folding the flop to be honest as JT is already there. When he raised $45 he was saying he had a big hand. Guy wasn't capable of making plays.
if you have a 6 then both of the guys can't have a 6.

Was just my way of thinking about the hand. And yes i might of been off cause some of the info i had gotten was from another player afterwards.

oh I took no offense, as if you are who I think you are than I highly respect your play.

I mean to edit the action but I did not edit my first post in time. it was an 874 flop. the asian guy had 65hh for a flopped straight. I think the flop checked through? 9 was turn, where I picked up flush and straight draws, and this is where a $45 bet was made. river came the jams. my call was horrrrible, but yeah winner's tilt is my biggest leak. if i had sat back and thought for 10 seconds I could have saved myself the $160ish on the river.

that is me lol. after I read your post summarizing the hand I was running through my memory trying to figure out who you were based on that table.


when I had the A4cc I only jammed bc I thought I had TONS of fold equity when you bet $27 into like $52. most live players bet closer to pot on a wet board so I thought you'd be cbetting larger with all your value hands. of course Sal "put me on the draw" lol.

my name is Adam btw.


I do remember that night w/ Fish. I remember that hand well. we have a bit of a history and his bet sizing was screaming missed draws. none of his value range was betting the river that size.

Yea i have respect for your game as well. i think you where one of the better regs at that game that night. i was at the bottom of my call range top of my folding range there. Sal put me in a tough spot. As i think he has KQ there and sets as well. but some Aces. I was afraid of your kicker there as you raised $8 preflop. i think i made it $15 or $17 not sure. your play was pretty straight forward that hand. I liked it alot. i just couldn't figure out what your kicker was and decided that mine was better. figured if the board paired with the smaller card we would chop. if you hit your club i was toast. and i thought there was a small chance you had AcQc so i elected to fold and pick another spot.

And Sal (lol) i think somehow makes money as he is a reg. But he always thinks he is ahead, when he isn't. I like Sal tho. he is actually a pretty nice guy.

Made 150 in about 4 hours at 1/2. Action was actually pretty bad and it looked like it sucked throughout the room too. Won AA>AK on a KT3T board vs a medium stacked opponent, and AT>KQ on a KJ8Qx vs a really short stack. Nothing else interesting.
