I figured top set was possible but prob not likely, short stacked I decided to just ship it all in.

I guess I need to watch for set vs higher set as Hwang mentions in his book.

Tonight is one of those nights where the poker gods just try to think of different ways to see me lose.

fold, fold, UTG+2 raises to $0.30, MP1 raises to $1.20, Hero ?????



10NL FR Rush. MP1 is 4/4/0 over 165 hands. UTG+2 is a random.
I couldn't decide whether to 4 bet or flat. We're 150BB deep with MP1 which makes me want to 4 bet but cold 4 betting a nit screams aces.

Just 3 bet to like 3.20

[x] YOU HAD 10 HIGH!!!
[x] It was the nuts or nothing!!!

Don't fist pump turn next time.

basically played without stats today, i made it hidden to mass table a robotic short stacking game & hey whatever works.. playing 8.5/8.5/6 3bet of 3% & 4bet of 2%

phew, played a good amount of rushmaha tonight, started by losing ~$50 in 30 min, just running terrible and getting majorly coolered... Then over the next 30 min or so I won some back and ended -$22 for the day... Played some on stars, got soul crushed so I returned to rushmaha, and won $24, putting me up $2 on the day in 2 hours 20min total lol.

edit: I started a thread in PG&C today about my rushmaha quest, so feel free to come berate me and mock me when I spazz out and lose giants chunks of my br

haha we should have like a little prop bet between regs here of just the dumbest hand we have gotten to showdown w/

the 8 high i sent you is still pretty much the nuts lol

wow..so many runners in bronze freeroll

if anyone else is running in it anyone down for a LL?

fish with 800bb at my table lol!!!!

Question:

If I spend my 105 IronMan Medals on 2 $8.70 Step 2 Tickets (50 medals each), will I take an MGR hit for it?

I won't be reaching an IM level again until June, to make sure I get my bonus, so I'd like to just spend 'em. I don't see a better value than the 2 step 2 tickets, either.

Nevermind, found out there's no hit for tickets. I guess I'll be playing two 18man step2 sngs now...if they fill.

yes that's why the ironman store rules. no mgr hit.

Post hands where they call your river bets with 8 high please.

I've been searching 2p2 for everything 'FTP Steps' related for the last hour, and can't find anything about being able to cash out (so to speak) your step tickets. I know once you hit the $26 (Step 3) level, that you are allowed to use that money to buy into sngs. But some have said you can only use it on the matrix sng. That true? You can't play a normal $26 9/18man sng? You can't play a $26 mtt?

You can play $26 mtts/sngs... most people just use the matrix since the format will generally allow you to get some money out of it, unless you run like complete crap.

OK, I see.

I'd much rather take a shot @ winning/cashing in a sng or mtt, than just getting scraps back from a matrix.

Edit: would you take 5-Step1's or 2-Step2's if you had the choice?

haha

nothing to crazy to post..

he stacked me AA < KK its all good though

i been running horrible in my last 10-20 24+2 matrix....its so sick how bad i run in those....so badddd i make actually buy ring game tix instead.

My runbad continues @10nl rush.....aa<79,kk<1010,aa<k10,....i did hold my KK vs 23 aipf for 130BB....i woulda quit poker forever if i lost that one lol.

Just had a 1BI shot at NL50 HU. Couldn't have run much worse. Fish was open shoving every hand. Called him 3 times with mid aces and JQs, he always had trash and he won every one Then had Q7s, flop QQ2, and he has Q2

Ran Good in 18 Mans today, then ran bad in MTT's which gave away most of my profit for the day.

Ah well its nice to know I can shove QTs and know I will get called by worst

Can i use an $11 mftops ticket to play in a normal $11 mtt and/or sng? They don't have any regular tourny tix around the $11 or $13 mark.

I'm gonna start shoving AA/KK preflop again, sorta tired of getting setmined when I 3bet very large pre.

lol ^
