^ holy god at your avatar

I usually do okay at foxwoods 1 2nl. My last session was a few weeks ago and is still bothering me. I sat down and immediatley noticed I was at a loose table which is good. By loose I mean guy opening for 15 with jack nine off, I had ak missed flop got out he went to show down hit 2pair on the flop. I had a winning hand when I flopped a flush heads up and won about sixty dollars. A few hands later i get qq. Whole table is in front with a straddler. I bet 40 dollars and get 2 callers. I have about 220 in chips 180 after the bet. One caller is girl who just got 2 paired with aa pocks and the other caller is guy that 2 paired her. He had just taken at 150 dollar loss earlier when flop came 1022. Guy who folded mentioned while hand in progress that he had a 2. So he went all in when ace hit river with king kicker however guy who called him had ace 2. Back to the qq hand flop comes six seven 8 rainbow guy checks I bet 40 girl folds he calls. Turn comes 8 i put him on 10 j ace to king and all in he insta calls . I ask him what he has says straight and turns over nine 10. River was a blank and I was gone as didn't want to rebuy after that. I should have folded after he called the 8 turn. I guess its bothering me that he would call with nine 10 off for 40 any thoughts? This is my first post on here have been a lurker for a few months. My favorite post on foxwoods thread was hekk and his lifetime ban glad he has been reinstated.

wat?

yah risky, I'll second the avatar thing.

For a couple months now, I've just had to move past your posts. That **** is just nauseating.




Seems like you make decent posts too, so damn.

24 hours

The experiment would have been more effective if I had remembered to put the comp in my pocket. I get to Woods and go to the shift manager's and ask them if it can be replaced. The dealer at the desk says "sure, no problem" The actual shift manager says "Yes, you can get another one. Come back in one week after you've played in 40 hours"

bad beat jackpot was over 4k this afternoon...highest i've ever seen it by over 1k....anyone hit it friday night or what?

They were making repeated announcments regarding the cell phone policy yesterday. Does anyone know of a specific incident to cause this? Just curious. Also, does anyone remember thr Ben Affleck picture incident from upstairs many years ago. I have heard many variations of the story, from dealers, players, and even floor. Supposedly. it was one of the reasons we could not use Ipods, and the like before we came downstairs.

On a side note, talking about upstairs, I realize how much I miss it., egg sandwiches, and windows! My 5/10 was right next to a window in the corner, now I'm in a dungeon.

I was assured that if we ever moved upstairs again (which we won't be cause they need the space for the slots that are no longer there) that food will never be allowed again.

BBJP was at 5200 and counting. That is a record high so go there and never fold.

Post this in the small stakes NL forum - and break it up into paragraphs (I do one paragraph per street...).

My thoughts are that you made his $40 call profitable by being willing to go all-in once you saw a horrible flop and then worse turn. Your advantage pre-flop is that he will win only 20% of the time against QQ with T9o so if you can minimize the loss you take on that 20%, you come out way ahead. In hindsight you have to check behind the turn and call a reasonable sized river bet on a blank. I make this same mistake all the time because I apply LHE principles to NL...

Another thought: Your $40 pre-flop bet is part of the problem in that it creates a huge pot that will make it harder to let go of your QQ when beat. Normally you will win a very small pot with a bet like that or face AK, AA, KK... Even at FW its unusual to see T9o call for $40 - so, being results oriented it turned out to be a good bet but terrible flop...

Totally wrong thread and a hijack, but this is interesting to me because I started playing micro (online) and low (live) LHE about a year ago exclusively while learning Hold 'Em. Now I'm trying NLHE and I fear I'm doing exactly what you wrote above. If you have any recommendations for threads or books that have helped you please post or PM. Not general how-to for LHE or NLHE, I can find those, but dealing specifically with differences in play and betting and the traps one can fall into moving from one to the other.

Was at Fwoods yesterday morning and did okay for the 4-5 hours i played poker. Learned my lesson in thinking that most players at the table could lay down hands like top pair or QQ on scary boards. Made most of my money back of some crazy asian guy by soul reading him and calling him down with 95 after i flopped top pair facing some heavy action from him considering i was 95% sure he was chasing a flush.

the BBJP was at 5500 when i left highest it's ever been. Def wanna go back soon probably within the next week.

Still trying to figure out which has the better games at 1/2 Mohegan or Fwoods? any insight.

I have no specific advice or books on NL to recommend. But I am very grateful to have extended my learning curve at 1/2 NL and not 2/5... Though I am sure I will be in for a different kind of learning when I move up.

I have been lurking in the small stakes NL forum and it gives me some ideas. Also every now and then in B&M somebody drops a bombshell on strategy.

Anyone play in the saturday morning $120 NL tourney at 9am? How big is the field and how much was the first place payout? Standard 10% places paid?


Is the field really soft or just regs play?

its a donkument....and i had an issue with the 330 fri night tourney...i played in it and there were about 50 players...i know there was a group of guys (9-10) splitting action and it seemed like they did it on the reg...anyone know if these guys do this alot/all the time? i know who they are now and if they are there, im not playing, i don't think thats too fair, and if it is fair then they should be more discreet about it

mohegan by far...

Is there a weekly tourney schedule to be found online for Foxwoods? I live an hour or so away but don't mind making the drive if there is a solid tourney w/ a nice structure.

This should help, but be aware that every casino poker room tweaks their tournaments on a semi regular basis along with running 'special' events and stuff.

I play in the Friday 11am and the Saturday 9am weekly.... If your referring to the players that do a last longer side bet, I feel it's on the up and up!!! They are playing just like you to win it all! If you do make it to the final table, there has to be a unanimous aggrement with all payout chops ! I have made it to the final table and never felt as though I was being pressured into a chop/agreement in which I did not feel was fair !!!

Oya most of the time there are around 75 to 100 players after 51 they always pay the final table! When it's closer to 100 they pay final 16....

yea, i learned that they aren't splitting action but having last longer bets...i asked around, i was just unsure...and i wouldnt want to play if they got their whole crew in on the action, but last longer bets are fine

Anyone playing these events?

The pairs event looks awesome. They all seem very affordable should bring in alot of people who don't usually play the tournaments.
