Lol...

I'd say calling my play spewy is a bit of an exaggeration, but everyone's entitled to their opinions I suppose. I made a semi-loose call to essentially bust, but other than that, my money got in good at the FT over and over again in standard spots and just ran bad.

Nothing against Zug of course, I obv tip my hat to him for his win and condone that he's a great player, but I doubled him up at least 3 times at the FT where he was racing at best. JJ<K6 for AIPF for a monster pot, 88<AQo on a 9 8 7 all spade flop and he 4flushed while fading a paired board, then eventually A9<33. Not to mention other 100K swings, 77<J9s for someone's tourney life, etc etc. I played my A game and that's all I could do. GG Zugs, nice win.

And as far as the random hating on Team MBN, it's an inside joke kinda thing...fwiw we all have good reps in the game in different aspects, Be it HU cash gods, FTOPS champs, MTT ballers, etc. We don't have anything to prove, we're here for the same reasons as everyone else...to ship. Had a bunch of FT's last series and we'll do it again. If we see ya guys there, gluck

12 people left........were playing 6 handed.


Zugwat opens his cutoff at 1/2k/300 with approx a 100k?ish stack.

You flat call your button with 50k stack.

I defend my bb with 75kish.

FLOP: K85 2spades

I check, Zugwat bets 8k?ish, you make it something like 22kish. I fold, and then Zugwat folds.


You elect to show.......the 3 of diamonds.

Haven't played much live poker so far, lost a stack to Clayton at 5/5 500 min/max got it in on a QT3 board with 2 clubs, my QJ < T9cc. Clayton and thac both cool, nice guys.

Busted the 300 today in about 30 minutes. I basically got coolered pretty bad twice in 4 hands, couple limpers I limp in MP with 54o, couple more limpers, BB checks. Flop 776 2d, checked to me, I bet 150, SB makes a huge sigh and calls. Turn 8h, he checks, I bet 425, he raises to 1k, I call. River Qs, he bets 1k again, I call, he has 66.

3 hands later, guy opens UTG to 350 (blinds 25/50) I 3-bet KK to 875 in MP, he shoves, I call, he has AA, gg me.

On the upside, I'm up $2850 at degen games for the week so far.

lol i posted the hand in high stakes mtt...

anyway i would have folded had you been playing like you were in the beginnning (tight agressive). last few orbits you started to open more and i realized you were a good player so i knew you saw this as a perfect spot for an isolation considering co is prob shoving pretty wide...maybe like 22+ J10s. maybe that range is a little wide for him but i put you on 66+ A10 or even A9 so it might be a marginal call by me.

hmm, my iso range is prolly a little tighter but something like that

is it worth it to cal off 50+ BB when you're like, one of the better players at the table and can just crush? (serious question btw)

I'd say my range is probably something like 88+ AJ+

with your range


equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 54.259% 53.53% 00.73% 577458888 7861356.00 { TT }
Hand 1: 45.741% 45.01% 00.73% 485569920 7861356.00 { 66+, ATs+, ATo+ }

my range of like 88+ AJ+

equity win tie pots won pots tied
Hand 0: 49.164% 48.40% 00.77% 422657268 6681198.00 { TT }
Hand 1: 50.836% 50.07% 00.77% 437255376 6681198.00 { 88+, AJs+, AJo+ }

so I guess it is pretty close either way

just depends if you want to flip this early or not
