Any scores down there so far? Pokernews isn't covering some of the events.
yeah guess that was the gist it's funny how their adjustments work when they get deep (35bb).

Cashed for 4k in the opening, made HU of shootout, 10 from money in the 6m after having a massive stack early (120k from 10k start stacks when avg was 35kish), and wasted 8 hours not cashing in the bounty last night. So basically wasted a ton of time breaking even but at least the breakeven has been better than my cash hourly. Main Event today though starts in about an hour gonna bink that.

what a game. had severe heart palpatations.

Yea, really good game. I had to stand for the last 20 minutes or so b/c I had so much nervous energy. SF punt returner really blew this game for them b/c it was pretty clear the Giants offense could not get anything going the entire second half.
01-23-2012 , 12:21 AM
the first fumble was just unforgivable. 2nd one was still pretty bad.

lots of 49er faithful calling for Kyle Williams to be burned at the stake. I say you win as a team, and you lose as a team. Been a Niner fan my whole, won't stop now, and certainly won't hate Kyle Williams.


....okay maybe just a bit.
01-23-2012 , 12:46 AM
was thinking about you watching that game UCD...was rooting for 49rs as well...gg sick run harbaugh gonna be good coach for next few years
01-23-2012 , 01:02 AM
well it would help if you could convert any third downs. but if williams could just hold on to the ball the failure on 3rd down wouldnt have even mattered...and simply not fumbling/muffing a punt is way easier than converting a 3rd down

Need some opinion on this hand although it's a live hand. Villain is competent and seems somewhat solid but limps a lot prolly like a 20/5 and has had the conversation with me about how she dosnt like ak as she can't understand why people put so much money in preflop with it as its just ace high.

I start hand with $375 at the Venetian last night 1/2 game villain has me covered. I open utg for $8 get two callers. Mp player makes it $65 more to be all in folds around to villain in bob who cold calls $73. I reraise to $200 and the bb calls. The flop comes kc 8s 5c and he goes all in I have about $165ish left. This is a fold correct?
01-23-2012 , 10:16 AM
so you have QQ or what?

I'm hoping you're using 'competent' and 'solid' as euphemisms

my money is on AA
01-23-2012 , 10:18 AM
i assume you have KK so i call
01-23-2012 , 10:21 AM
everything is relative dear onion. 20/5 is as competent as they come at the 1/2

HU of shootout pays nothing, only winner moves on. I didn't have any ME shares left but I just busted that anyway.

Just didn't knOw of any hand other than kk or as that would play this way. Wanted to know if a fold was ok or if it should have been a call or would a call have been spewy?
01-23-2012 , 11:03 AM
lol wtf don't fold.
01-23-2012 , 11:05 AM
i dont see how you can ever fold that getting 3.75-1. even when he has KK you have like 9% bro!
01-23-2012 , 11:08 AM
SPR < 1 with AA on flop == "do not fold"
01-23-2012 , 12:11 PM
What hand can I beat here I still had 80bb's behind. I mean I could be chopping with aa but wouldn't villain shove preflop unless she was just trying to trap me? I mean if she checked u would have bet as I'm putting here on qq and kk here I don't think she would do this with jj or ak. And I don't think she would shove qq here into me

And they say poker is dead. Just wow. If I was villain I would be pissed that you took longer than a second to call and consider myself slowrolled.

Just because he said he doesn't like AK or whatever doesn't mean he doesn't have it. He could also have clubs/QQ, etc. Can't fold after putting over 50% of your stack in pre. Plus with a set of Kings most players auto check to you anyway.

Side story; I played live the other night for the first time in a while. It was a 1/2 game and I was $250 deep with villain. He opens to 10 I'm on the button and 3 bet to $30 with As7s. He flats and flop is Ts5s3d. He leads into me for $40. I think a bit and then shove. He goes into the tank, convinces himself that I have AA..it was my first 3 bet after all, then ends up folding KK faceup. I show him the 7s.
