Nice one Xander!

I'm playing for my life here!!!

I open $40 7d6d in HJ. Super idiot really old man calls co. Muscle bound idiot calls in bb. Flop is Qh5h3c. Muscles checks. Old man checks out of turn. I bet 75. Old man calls. Muscles calls. Turn 4c. Muscles checks. I bet 300. Old man calls. Muscles checks. River 4h. I bet 300 and old man shoves 1450. I don't think he's bluffed this century. I fold.

****KKK

grats xander!

filthy man. take a few days off

I grind like hell to get up $100. I'm about to pick up. Whale opens utg 45. I get qq. I make it 160. Whale behind me calls. Whale utg calls. Flop is T63hh. Whale shoves 600. I call. He has ATo and binks

Thanks for all the congratulations. It's the biggest amount of money I've ever won at poker.

I hit cashout straight after winning and left myself with a $30 bankroll.

I would like to say that I schooled everyone, but I think that a lot of people would have won that with the cards I got.

Stop barreling your 3 outers every time dude

Good one, xander!

The first time I played at Commerce I'd been at the table long enough and card-dead enough to have a really snug image, and then I raised something playable from EP and got five callers and the flop was something like 622 rainbow. And so I figured that this would be a great spot for a continuation bet because no one expects a bluff into five players and it's unlikely that anyone can beat what I'm representing. So I bet like 2/3 pot and got four callers. And this was at 10-20! I wonder if games there are still anywhere near that good.

Oh, and filthy: you're never gonna win if you're letting people check after a bet and a call. And in hindsight do you think the check out of turn was a deliberate angleshot?

Belated congrats Xander

Really good check my Muscles imo

plo/plo8 split tournament

competent old dude utg min raises to 1000 i call mp with A238 nut spades and hearts. 2 others call.

flop 87Qsdc pfr cbets 2k into 4k i call? sb calls.

turn (10000) check check to me. effective stack is me at 35000 more. what is our game plan with an unbreakable bare nut low no high in position?

are you guys making fun of me?

muscles was in the bb. he checked the flop, and the called after i bet and old man called. then turn 4c, muscles was first to act and he checked. i think i wrote it right?

anyway, i really don't think the old man was angle shooting. and if he was, his line is really weird, as he put the money in AFTER the flush hit. i'm about 99% sure he had a flush draw and binked. if he flopped a made hand, he most likely would have bet the flop, last to act. and why put the money in after the flush hit?


i've heard the 10/20 game at commerce is pretty tough. i only played it a few hands. i saw one pretty big mistake in just that short of time. a guy opened ATo utg, got one caller, and i 3bet with a 90bb stack, and ATo called me

according to your hh, the board paired

Filthy, go crush 3/5 for a couple weeks, man.

ETA: nice work, xander!

oh yeah. that's true. it did pair. he could have had a boat.

hmmm.... idk, could have been an angle. before you pointed out the board pairing, i would have said almost no chance he was angling, but now i'd guess maybe 20%

i'm generally too trusting of people's motives. this other guy definitely tried to angle me the other night, and i called him out on it, but i didn't call the floor. i should have.

Congrats, Xander.

get to showdown cheap?

So I sit down to play 5/5 $500 max buy in. First two orbits I get AsKs, AQo, JJ and KK and 99. I only play two orbits and walk away stuck 1000

Now I'm playing 5/10

AA26 all in 3 way for one of the largest stacks in the room vs. A24J and A348 on 359. Instead I don't get a cent back all the work of the last 10 hours poofing in a hand aserawerjiosdf

AhQh ≤ KK on 5h4h3c flop

I'm so ****ing full of misery

Down to my last 1300 bucks. I picked up from 5/10, and now waiting for 5/5. Reminds me of when I went busto and had to grind micros online after playing the nosebleeds

Save some for bus money! gl!!!!

grinded 5/5 a few hours and won $200.

i'm def taking tomorrow off

i'm gonna study and stick to 5/5 on weekdays for a while.

my last 5 sessions...

6/14 5 hours -3700
6/16 7.5 hours -3500
6/17 6 hours -2500
6/18 9 hours -200
6/19 5.5 hours -2800

What was the turn card?

You do have a pair, so I wouldn't say you have no high. I would definitely bet here, probably just pot it and depending on how it goes maybe bomb the river. My thoughts are I really want to drive out weak made hands that beat me and 3/4 a bare low (or just take it down without a showdown).
