Might make some sense then here, in general I hate the line though because you risk leaving behind lots of value on the flop and the c/r screams monster.

I would have just called the raise with his AA and K-high flush draw. omahahaha donks raise usually with teh nuts only, so I'm not getting it in on the flop. If a 4,6,7,9,T,J comes on the turn, oodles of microstakes donks will check their top set, scared of the straight and I will get a free card.
You of course played it fine.

I get it in ldo, most likely some donk limping in with a big pair.

Yeah, my friend told me the story and I told him that I liked the call/shove there for the above mentioned reasons.

I think the biggest reason he folded there was that he didn't want to put his tournament life on the line right at the start.

However, if I was in the WSOP ME (lol and obv playing way over my bankroll) and had the above happen, I would probably fold.

I wonder how many people could make that call in the ME on the 5th hand.

not me, but i'm a nit and think that it's amazing that so many people are prepared to put up $1k for a tournament, let alone $10k.

But true pros know that, not only do you take +(ICM)EV spots whenever they come up, they also know that getting knocked out in the 5th hand is better than getting knocked out on day 5, just short of the money.

I have next to no live tournament experience, but one of only two tournaments i ever played in in a public cardroom, i got dealt AK first hand, raise pf tid, then KK next hand, raised a limp, cbet an innocuous low flop, and limpylimper CRAIed. I shrugged and folded, but i think there was a bit of 'i don't want to go home after 5 minutes' at play in addition to 'lol what KK no good?' going on. It was like a $7 tournament, or whatever.

I doubt anyone would advocate getting in that hand on the 5th hand in the ME, but the structure is completely different, so you can't really compare them. I would never fold in this instance.

Ehh . I am Clicking buttons like monkey. Villain was Lithuanian.

Long and dark slavery period under Germans left us some marks.

Jens Kyllönen had 100% of himself.

I really doubt 3,5% is near accurate. That's "only" $35k. He played highstakes and all, I think he can easily put up at least $200k for this once in a lifetime shot. I would say he had at least 20%. Obviously no idea, just assuming 8)

i think it was a 'bout 350 gag.

i dunno which is dumber, putting up nearly 100% of yourself, or playing a tournament which all the non-super rich businessmen are basically coalitions. It's kind of a shame HSP isn't still running because it'd be amusing to see if esfandiari (and laak? Who knows how much he had of his buddy) are suddenly lagtards now they have a gigantic roll. At least the winner was someone who knew how to put a decent chunk of it into the pockets of the club and bar owners of las vegas.

Sam trickett had 50% of himself with some bookmaker fronting the full buyin. MBN. I remember Isabelle Mercier saying one time that it was much easier to concentrate on poker with an endorsement covering the buyins. Lol freerolls. Half the what makes poker hard is playing where you have something to lose.

bwahahahahahahahaaaaaa

Just played a satellite SnG
First three have the same prize, rest gets nothing.

One dude is sitting out for ages and is being blinded off.
He is in the BB and it folds to the SB who folds too, so the BB wins a pot. Smartass action no .1

When we are down to 4, the dude is still sitting out and has like 2-3 BB left. I am the big stack and am shoving all hands ldo, waiting for the dummy to be blinded out so we can all three collect and go home.

The second biggest stack gets annoyed (he/she was also the one that allowed the dummy to win a hand) and calls me with QTo, of course I outdraw him with like J9o, so at the end the dummy ends up with a prize

If you can fold to the prize why are you shoving every hand?

because folding is for pussies

Because it is fun.

Other two players should not call me ever, even if they had AA. They can just leave the table. I am actually being cooperative here.

They shouldn't call you but you got called by QT. You're obviously getting called a lot.

All you're doing is lowering your win % from 100 to some non 100 number.

Not true. if I get called and lose, I go back into donothing mode until Mr. Dummy is blinded out - which was like 2 orbits. The only one who risks anything is the player that calls me, since I was covering everybody.

Sattied a seat into the del park 400 dollar deep stack tomorrow

LOLOMAHA

I had 16 straight winning sessions and now in 3-4 sessions I lost my f*ckign shirt. It is incredible, I am being outflopped, outdrawn or outplayed on every single hand.



Notice also what happened around hand 17K - that was pretty unbelievable as well.

*sigh* another loooong downswing. i am down like 1500ish in the last two months, since lock moved to the revolution network.

also gonna try some lolive poker next week. game should be super soft, but i suck at regular poker. we'll see how it goes.

I've always had 100% of myself in tournaments but I easily see why people don't (and p much no way I would in a milly since my odds at this point at being that rich ever are getting slimmer by the day).

I'm also at least 30 buyins under EV in omahahahahahaha. I really like the game but yeesh. I can't help but fire up a table nearly every time anyway.

would be a million dollar idea to have insurance available in online cash games.

gonna play in a live 1-2 dealers choice game tomorrow. average stacks are around $500. its a good game. with 5 cards pre flop. and pineapple (discarding after the flop) available. i seem to like the pineapple the most. i pretty much just nit it up.
