[Jimmy Proffett]

I just played with deadphish @ the micro table. He sat with 10 (the usual) so I bought in for 10. We played roughly 6 hands, he won exactly 2.05 points off me, and then he leaves. I mean I don't even...... what. I don't know. There are no words.

[yisman]

deadphish is everyone's favorite ring player

[downsouth]

He does crack me up. I picture him cackling to himself and doing his fingers like Mr. Burns as he hit and runs for another 5 points.

bad luck in high roller

Dealt QQ early on, bet hard the whole way against shari, who had 44. She caught a 4 on the river.

That cost me about a thousand chips.

A few hands later, dealt A2, called. Flop A24. Other guy had A4. That dropped me below a thousand chips. Finished 33rd.

[beerman2619]

Royal Flush & Bad Beat

Hi Yisman, you are Poker Guru with a lot of the answers,
had a ROYAL FLUSH in SPADES today at the 12 pm Tour.
is there any more Rewards for hitting a ROYAL?

[yisman]

No, they haven't had that for tournaments in a very long time, and they discontinued it for ring games a few months later.

So no prizes for hitting a royal flush at all.

Thanks Yisman, I knew you would have an answer for me
To bad they are finished, because you and everyone else
knows the odds of getting a ROYAL are so Gigantic

[yisman]

just blew almost entirely through two 7th place rollovers

bad beats mostly at fault

I had KJ, K10 low card flop, ronpaul keeps betting on me. I raise. he calls. Spade on turn, he all ins. Turns out all he had was two spades and was shoving with nothing. Runner runner flush (river came jack of spades after his allin).

[yisman]

true meaning ring table

dealt KK two out of three hands. First time: K on flop, wind up all in, dankelly wins with J9


reload, then get KK again a hand later. Again wind up all in and dankelly wins with AJ

[yisman]

.5/1 ring table

dealt AA. zwoeins raises preflop. I re-raise big. He puts me all in. He has QQ.

Flop clean, turn clean, rivers a Queen. Down another 20 chips or so after losing a 30 buy in yesterday (sucked out on twice by the same guy)



Anyone want to play ring now?

That hand history doesn't show that studmlb hit a set of fives on the flop. The poker site's being extremely ridiculous today. In my favor mind you, but it's just insane.

[yisman]

Especially lousy tonight.

11 PM, dealt absolute garbage. Best I had was Q6 for the first 10 minutes or so. Only hand I even stayed in was I had J10 one hand and no one raised. Didn't see a single flop otherwise. Finally, I get dealt QQ, only to run into KK. All in with 1800 and change, bounced early.

I'm going to try to play every day, so I should be able to make the top 50 of this thing, but I won't be able to play in the final. Not sure what the point is.

[yisman]

24th Lost Internet just as blinds were about to hit, got back just in time for another big blind with 97. Think I had a good chance at top 20 otherwise, not that it means much.

[yisman]

.5/1 table, dealt Q10, called, no preflop raise. Flop QQ10. mjag bets big, I called. Turn is a low card, he all-ins, I call. He has KK and was slow playing it, not betting until the flop. River is a K. Two outer. Lost a bunch on a hand where I flopped a boat.

This has to be posted.

10 AM tourney, 400/800 blinds, 5 people left. I'm in late position, I raise to 2400 with A10 clubs

dankelly RE-RAISES. I call. Flop is 789 (with two clubs). So I have flush draw and straight draw. Figured it's worth a shot even if he calls. I all-in to a 9K and change pot with about 7500.

He calls. Cards flip. He has 27 diamonds.

Turn and river I hit nothing and he wins.

Mind-boggling hand.

250,000 guarnetee sunday at 5D

this should be a fun tounrnamnet

won a seat for 24.00 in a satalite last night so dont have much at risk...winner will get over 50k

[yisman]

5k guaranteed madness dsi tourney

chip leader with 11 players left, blinds 300/600, dealt K4

K on flop, plus two lower cards (10 and 5?), guy bets like half pot on me. I call. Turn is King. He bets even bigger. A little nervous that I could be outkicked, but I call again.

River 2.

Turns out he had K2 and rivered me with a boat when I had him the whole way. Went from 27,000+ chips down to 13,000 and change

[ddjuric]

full tilt is coming back ... for now is in test mode

That's great news. Maybe I can give my CC information to the Nigerian investors too while I'm at it.

finished 7th after some donk took me out. Staying in hand with 4,10, unreal.

Hit a set, donk had flush draw, which hit on flop. I never saw the final card because I lost Internet, but I guess I didn't hit the boat.

[yisman]

.5/1 ring tables, dealt KK, raise to 2.5 in early position. jnsbanman re-raises to 4 in the next seat. Everyone else folds. I re-raise to 12. He calls. Flop KQ5. I bet. He calls again, catches a J on the turn, all-in, and river is clean. Out 70-something in that hand

karma for not re raising all in with that much left behind...why would anyone invest that much with that little behind..what if you didn't have a draw on the flop? were you ready to relinquish the hand after basically making yourself pot committed to begin with? and if not, why not just go all in to begin with pre flop?

[yisman]

I'm not going all-in preflop with A10, especially not in that position.

[revnecro1273]

I'm not going all-in preflop with A10, especially not in that position.

well essentially you were since you called a re raise which put almost half of your chips into the pot before the flop...so if you didn't think a10 was all that great to make you pot committed, then why call the re raise?

[yisman]

Actually, if you read my post, I was not half in.

[yisman]

Just lost 90 chips and change.

K9, 9 on flop, dumbmoney shoves all in (several times the pot) after the turn. He has 44, no draw, nothing.

He rivers me with a 4. Classic.

Then fold

[yisman]

That doesn't make much sense.
