General poker discussion thread

[yisman]

vast majority of poker players would've folded to a min bet after the flop with that hand.

Anyway, 25th in 4 PM.

KK lost to J9, which caught a flush. Guy called raises and bets and then caught it.

[yisman]

BigDaddy just rivered a gutshot straight (he had K10 and caught a Q to go along with J A on board) on me. I was betting all the way with A8.

This qualifier is going terribly.

[daneblazer]

how do you have two BTP week 15 badges?

[yisman]

They misgraded MNF.

When they regraded it I guess they gave them out again. Not sure. I had SF and it was graded a loss. Then it was fixed.

[yisman]

28 off as small blind. (15/30) 4 PM tourney

No one raises, I call.

Flop comes 862 off color.

One guy bets 90, another calls, I raise to 210, both guys all-in on me, so I call.

They both have K8 off, so they were all-ining with a pair of 8s! Turn is clean. River is a 6, giving them two pair.

My 3 pair loses to both of their crappy two pair.

I hate poker rules I had the clearly better hand.

Down to 115 chips now.

yisman when i signed up as a pro for the first few days daily tournaments were free for me. now they cost 10 or 20 sbr pts?

[beerman2619]

This month the freerolls are on hold. They resume in January. Freerolls are still free for pros but no freerolls during "holiday season"

Yep, that sucked. The hand before (or two hands before), I had AA against 66 and the other guy hit a 6 on the turn.

Looks like I'm about to be bounced.

AJ spades, Ace on flop, but two clubs. Guy hits flush on turn to beat me with K10 clubs.

[yisman]

Funny hand.

A10 spades goes against AJ (not sure if suited. it was red).

Flop is 10J10. Turn is J. River is Ace.

Full house loses to full house

That sent me from like 2200 down to 300 and change.

Then my last hand was A8. Actually had a chance because three other people in hand and no other aces (two QQs!), but ace didn't hit. Finished tied for 27th.

[Puppy]

yisman you knocked me out of a tourny the other day i had AA and you had 2 clubs. flopped 2 clubs and i went all in and so did you and you hit a 5th club. then you said "ouch". was that to be a dh?

[yisman]

I said ouch because it was a tough beat, losing with AA.

What else could I possibly mean?

[yisman]

A10, flop comes 10,3,3, Soxfan goes all in, I call. He has J10. Turn clean, river is a jack. Only card that could beat me.

16th in 9 PM.

worst part is a minute later, four others were eliminated, meaning I could've placed higher just by losing a bit later.

[yisman]

lost 120 at ring tables

last gasp was 88 vs housemoney

flop KQA

wound up all in vs J9. Turn was a 2, I believe

River: Jack

[Housemoney]

Full Disclosure:

Only called with the draw because your all in push was 6 points. You did suffer some rough beats today.

[yisman]

yeah but the draw was a gutshot with only a 10 being a winner.

As it turned out, you were able to also win with J or 9, though.

If you place in the top 3 of the SBR Gear tourney, do you have to do anything special to get your winnings? As far as I know I haven't put my address into sbr as I haven't had anything delivered before.

sam9ball is supposed to send you a PM asking for your info

shirt 1st
cap 2nd
cards 3rd

I believe you can only win each prize once, which is why I stopped playing.

if you didn't get a PM, send him one.

10,8 raises pre-flop (or called a raise, whichever), then all-ined postflop

j7 and another card was flop

two callers, one with AA and one with KK

dude caught an 8 and a 10 on the turn and river to win with two pair

he had to either get a gutshot straight or hit both the turn and the river

[yisman]

Top 20 paid in New Year's eve tourney. I last nearly 2 hours and finished 22nd.

terrible beat to wal66 who had 88. I had QJ. he all-ined post flop after I had a queen, and he caught another 8 after the all in to have trips.

[yisman]

Won DSI tournament. 353 entrants. 11:15 start, just finished.

Congrats Yis! What does that one pay?

[yisman]

10 bucks

[yisman]

Lost 90 points at ring tables by trips getting flushed by playersonly

a few minutes later, lost over 600 chips in tournament to rival12, getting flushed on river

Whenever I hit a hand and don't bet big, the suck out comes over 75% of the time.

I've got a nice story for your thread today.

Was playing in the midday tourney, down to 16 players, blinds were 200/100, and I was down to 680 bucks.

BB comes to me, dealt K10. Think 2 people called and came to me to check. Disconnected...

About 3 or 4 mins to get back on. Blinds are now 300/150 and I have 380. I am dealt 44 and figure I'll push allin... Disconnected...

By the time I get back on I am big blind with 35 dealt and 80 bucks left.

I type in chat "Everyone please fold and leave me in?"

Everyone folds!

Later during the break I asked if they had done it just because I asked. Snoopaloop31 said he had, and I think Glitch, in SB, and valaub04 also did. Others may have too and didn't speak up. Pinhcylarue was there too.

Anyway it was very nice of the table.

And I ended up cashing in 5th.

If I work out how to find the hand in my hand history I'll send everyone at the table a tip when i have some points

[Optional]

found it. not exactly as I remembered, but close.

interesting story. Nice of them to do that.

was there an ante? I don't understand the numbers because didn't you only win the small blind (150)? It says net 375.

[Optional]

Must have been at 25 ante level. That adds up to 675.

Another good luck story. Won 2 more hands quickly after this too, taking me from 100 to near 700 in one round.

bubbled. 10th place in midnight.

didn't really think I had much of a chance at ryder cup anyway, but crippled tonight when I hit trips but it went up against ocro's straight. Left me with 2,000 chips, blinds increasing, dealer kept giving me rags (24, 25, 36, etc.), so my 24 eventually lost to a7 and blinded out.

[yisman]

10th yesterday, 11th today. Waste all the time playing, only to get bubbled.

Dealt QQ, raise to 2x bb. almasters calls. Flop 632. I allin with my remaining 1200 or so chips. almasters calls. He has A5. Ace on turn.

Pair of aces defeat pair of queens.

[yisman]

Still no luck.

Lost about 900 chips early on tonight with KJ vs. QJ.

J hit on flop.

Ahead after flop, shove. Called. Ahead after turn, shove again, called.

ny03than had QJ and caught a Q on the river That was the only card that could beat me. A queen.

[yisman]

shut out in 2012.

a 10th and 11th last week, and now 11th/70 in the Sunday buy-in

damn bubbling.

Called with A10, then freeze bet the flop and I was pretty much forced to go all in due to blinds coming. My A didn't hit.

[Optional]

I started out well, but then it dried up totally for me. Just lamed out in 16th after sitting there for an hour drawing nothing.

Been the same at ring tables. Been grinding it out for hours and going nowhere. Going to give up soon before I get so bored I tilt.
