LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
illest **** she ever wrote, that uber wrap hand wow
musings from last night: it's the crazy game. Arguably, and probably, unarguably, the 4 most fearless, loosest, richest, and dumbest players playing shorthanded, some kind of that combination.
the original raiser, who just had the mtt score of his life and will be his biggest for life(surely, you will see why
), opens to 50bb into 4 people, player immediately behind shoves I believe 1100bb, yes I said 1100bb in NLO, folds to the OR, who tanks forever. man, tough decision here. Now, the jammer is loose and can overvalue some hands(i may eat my words here
) but he just open ripped 1100bb into 4 guys, two or three who cover. I am only ranging him on AAxx and probably a strong AAxx combo, 100% of the time, literally. OR tanks and tanks, makes the following comments "well, I can't get even from last week by folding," "someone give me the speech,"(meaning talk him into a call, so I gave him the speech
), and "I would love to see what you would do here,"(directed at me the pro(which is almost insulting after seeing the hand)
). I'm thinking OR has to have strong KKQJ combo here at the minimum(which obv plays terrible vs AA combos but he don't know or care, I believe) and even more likely AAxx on the weaker side and thinking about surrendering his equity to better AAxx combos. No, he finally calls getting right at 1 to 1 with QQ46 SSCC, nice call
. the shover's strong AA combo holds. The caller is the same guy who folded KK on K 10 7 xx board for probably some pot sized bets or whatever(uber small pot compared to the one just said) because he knew it was probably, likely, a three-way race versus some wraps + fd's or whatever(went three ways).
So, it's now been called, the last hand of the night. Holdem round had just ended and the last hand will be Omaha. Usually, this means a huge straddle at the bare minimum, but weirdly, it stayed tame(because the straddler is the best straddler around, best I ever saw bare none). I think it was a 5bb straddle(think I am going to recall this correctly after thinking about it). I was sb and bet a pretty standard pot bet to 18bb(actually smaller than PSB because I think utg after the straddle limped), I think this is easily warranted in my game, given my skillset versus, their fundamentals and the huge ranges they play(i can cooler someone here and my hand going in is likely the 2nd best hand here in terms of raw equity,often(maybe I'm off in thinking this, this **** has to run so thin anyway)). One flat and a 3bet to 70bb, that gets two calls bringing me in easily with AT(dd)J3I think it goes 5 ways to the flop, and the caller behind me comes along(to my OR). 5 ways to the flop(~350 bbs) of T 7 2 rainbows. checks to 3 bettor who bets 100bb into 350bb which seemed KKQJ types to me, given his 3bet, QQja type range, given his tendencies and his 3bet, that's where I'm bulking his range( T j 8 A(anything in that area)). It gets one call in front of me(I'm still 1st position) and although I don't love the board, the PO are tremendous and I have top/top(think Jamie Gold), I have to come along, also backdoors but no for sure cleanouts on the turn, i flat, as does 2nd position. I'm getting some reads and seeing if I can pull anything physical or even a little insight to where they are at in their ranges.
Jack on the turn making a FD but not mine. J T 7 2 hh, I check, 2ndP checks, OR bets 228bb into 750bb, one fold, back to me with OR and one other behind. Here I check for something on the checker(physically), I don't think he is nutted. For one and most importantly, the pot is huge on the turn and four ways, if he has 89 he is leading the turn and likely shoving I have to think at almost 100% frequency. Although a check to induce could be most EV(I'm not saying it is), with the FD coming and now another broadway card, he is never allowing the opportunity for it to get checked through(there were two guys behind him yet, three counting me after I checked). That player probably had somewhere around 1.5x - 2x psb at the time, again I think he is shoving. So now it is down to the bettor, where is he at? He 3 bet pre but not that huge, it felt middling, like something he didn't want to bloat( 70bb pre, thats not a bloat at all, that's "finding out where you are at" in our game
) the pot with. With that said I am thinking, as mentioned, qqj7(ssdd), jkt8 (dd, hh), definitely could have some 897t ss combos( somewhere in that range (10 - 35% range type hands), is where I thought. come turn though I weighted it more to QQkx combos, jjxx, kkjx, those type hands but looking back i have to think maybe that's a bit wishful. he's bet twice, maybe his betting range is now stronger than that.
But really what I was thinking was this: he bet v small on the flop, and now bets pretty small again, these are blocker bets(when he has it, it gets mashed or ripped very frequently, this is the guy who shoved 1100bb into 50bb with AAxx double suited(hell of a move to induce though right
)). 89 combos should not be very frequent either because he was the three bettor and with the sizing, that is not what he was telling me. one fold, to me, it is now three handed, me, the checker, and the bettor. I have top two and i did my assessments. I rip it, both players cover or nearly cover(the bettor for sure covers). I rip 1600bb into just under 1k bb's with two behind. quick fold from the first, just as I thought. back to the OR who looks a bit depleted(perhaps wrong word choice), shaking his head "no."
he starts turning his cards over one by one, great sign. Maybe he is mucking them and I will scoop this beast without SD, an event that I thought would happen with fair probability. I think at least 1 in 3 to 1 in 4 in this game, hard to say, the bettor is stickier than gorilla glue, but I did my assessments, I like a shove here.
He shows black 10s and a 7 I think, and then another small one, don't remember, maybe he didn't show that one but it was pretty irrelevant(FML he 3 bet with 10 10 7 x DS(maybe) I think it may have been three spades in his hand, wow(but it's about where I had him but then that baby flop bet 5 ways, ahhhh). He tanks, and tanks, and counts, and counts some more, spills the chips after stacking them, gets them back in order, "you guys know how I play." Brick!(would been the best jack of my life(pun intended))
FML, gg me, watched 2500bb go bye-bye in about 90 minutes time, it's not fun losing at the end of the night
