How many spots are usually open?

I might be able to make it depending on their weekly $1M tournament although, if I'm still playing at 8:00 CST, that would be a good thing.

(I can only play one table at a time otherwise, I play like shit)

Date is wrong.. you have 4/3 listed instead of 4/23

Fixed.

There isn't a set # of slots, so it is open to all comers.

Saturday front page bump

[kingfc22]

hmm, I actually might be able to make this one

[Z²+]

With finals bearing down on me, I think this sounds like a good oppurtunity to take a break from studying and have some fun. I'll likely be in, one can only study Insurance Law so long before the mind turns to mush.

Nice turnout guys. I am watching y'all, although I dont recognize a couple of the names.

[kcchief19]

Appropriate password for this week since I sucked out a couple of key times on the way to the win. I caught the nine on the turn agains Wahoo with A9 vs AK, then when I was short-stacked three-way I took down Panerds 88 with A6. The I knocked out kingfc when we were all-in pre-flop with my AJ vs. his A8 and he caught an 8 on the flop and I rivered him with a jack.

Oh, don't get me wrong ... I'll take it. That makes my third Squid. Hattrick!

I was originally going to say that it all depends on what his range of hands would be for him to call. However even if he would call with 100% of the hands he has been dealt you should push here. Taking the hand down before the flop would increase your stack by almost 25% and there is a very good chance you have the best hand even if he calls.

I go all in and put him to the test

[Mustang]

I go all in and put him to the test

What I did. He calls and has A/K... he doesn't get any help and I double up. Of course, he was pissed and asked why I would go all in w/4s. But, given his playing style I didn't see anything wrong with what I did. Ah well.. :)

[primelord]

I figurted I would write up a quick recap of my tournament experience:

Level 1: Blinds 10/20

Hand 4: After getting into the tournament during late registration we are playing 6 handed. radii, cartman, panerd, kcchief and Kerg01 are at my table. I get dealt 93s on the button. It is folded to me and I open raise to 4x the BB. Radii re-raises me to 200. I believe Radii respects my play so this raise says one of two things. Either a) he believes I have a hand and can beat that hand or b) he knows it really wouldn't take much of a hand for me to steal there. Either way I am folding. I am at 1,390 in chips.

Hand 8: I am dealt A7o in the BB. cartman open limps from mp, kcchief calls on the button, and Kerg completes the SB. The table has been pretty tight so far and I figure a decent sized raise will get me the 60 in chips with no confrontation. I raise to 200 and everyone folds. 1,450 in chips.

Hand 16: I am dealt Ah 4h in the sb. panerd open limps from mp, kcchief raises to 60, I call and panerd calls. 200 chips in the pot and the flop comes As, 6d, Kd. At this point I am thinking I may have the best hand. Matt could have been raising an under pair or something like KQ. I know I don't want anyone drawing cheaply on me so I bet the pot 200, panerd folds and Matt calls. So at this point Matt either has an A or the flush draw. I highly doubt he calls a pot sized bet with middle pair. He might be slow rolling AK, but I don't think he is. Needless to say he likely has me beat right now. The turn is the 6h and has likely saved the hand for me. Unless he has AK we are likely going to split this pot. I bet 200. If he was slow playing now is the time I will hear from him. The small bet also looks like I am asking for a call and maybe he will do something silly like fold A9. Matt calls. The river is the Tc. And we both check. Matt shows Ad Qd and we split. Just to recap Matt flops top pair great kicker and the nut flush draw and he only calls my flop bet. With 400 chips in the pot at that point it is just worth taking down. Waiting until the turn cost him a decent pot. 1,460 in chips.

Hand 17: I am dealt Js, Th on the button. I open raise to 3x BB and the blinds fold. 1,490 chips.

Level 2: Blinds 15/30

Hand 22: I am dealt Qh, Tc in the sb. panerd open limps, I call in the sb and radii checks his BB. The flop comes 8c, 5d, 2s. This flop is not likely to have helped anyone except maybe radii. I make a pot sized bet, radii folds and panerd raises to 180. So I am getting 4:1 to call here. I am guessing that panerd is raising A high here. Even if he has paired up my outs are the same. I make the call. With my 6 outs this is a pretty loose call, but I make the call more with the intention of establishing I can;t be run over then anything else. The turn is the 6c. I check and panerd bets 90. I briefly thought about calling here, but getting 6:1 I am still a bit short on pot odds and calling wouldn;t do much more for my image. I muck. 1,260 chips.

Hand 24: It is folded to me in the CO and I have Th, 5h. radii is on the button and is playing very tight. I raise to 4x the BB. I have a good chance of taking the blinds here and since radii is playing very tight even if not I will likely have absolute position and the inititave even if one of the blinds call. Everyone folds. 1,304 chips.

Hand 26: I am dealt Td 9d UTG. I open raise to 3x BB. cartman calls in the CO, panerd calls on the button and the blinds fold. The flop comes 7c, 8d, 4s. I bet 210 on my OESD into the 315 chip pot in an attempt to take the hand down right there. cartman calls and panerd folds. The turn is the Tc. I bet 480. cartman raises to 960 which would put me all-in. I am just shy of having the pot odds to make this a profitable call. If he has a hand like A8 I even have more outs and it would be a profitbale call. However the way he played the hand suggests he has a set. So I muck the hand. 525 chips.

Hand 34: I have Kh, 9d in the sb. panerd open limps from MP, kcchief calls in the CO, I complete the SB and radii checks his BB. The flop comes Jd, Qs, Ks. I push in my remaining 465 chips and everyone folds. I figured it was likely I had the best hand and my bet gave everyone at the table only 1.25:1 odds to call. So if they were going to call to draw out on me they were going to make a very unprofitable call to do it. 585 chips.

Hand 35: I have 4s, 4h on the button. I open raise to 3x BB and the blinds fold. 630 chips.

Hand 42: I have As, 2h in the CO. It is folded to me and I open raise to 4x BB. panerd is the only one who calls in the BB. The flop comes Ts, 3h, 6c. panerd checks and I check as well. The turn was the 9h. We both check. River is the 5s and again we both check. panerd shows Kc, Jh and my hand is good. I should have just pushed on the flop as it was unlikely to have helped panerd, but I wussed out on this hand. It worked out ok though.
750 chips.

Hand 43: I take the blinds with a raise from MP with Ah, Tc. 795 chips.

Level 3: Blinds 25/50

Hand 48: I again take the blinds with a 3x BB raise with Ad, Qc from the button. 885 chips. And with that we are now at the final table. Joining us are Wahoomac, sabotai, and kingfc22.

Hand 50: I have Ks, 9c UTG. I raise to 3x BB. The first few hands at the final table are usually very tight and I hoped to just pick up the blinds with this. cartman calls in late middle and everyone else folds. The flop comes 3d, 7h, 5d. I bet 150 intot he ragged board and cartman folds. This is the point in time I start mocking cartman for playting passive. :) 1,110 chips.

Hand 56: We lost Wahoomac and are down to 8. I raise 3x BB from middle position with Qh, Qd. cartman calls on the button and everyone else folds. The flop comes 7c, Ac, 8c. A terrible flop for me. I bet 250 chips and cartman folds. I again mock him. :) He says that his 99 was no good there and he was correct. Although if he had the 9c he had good outs. 1,260 chips.

Hand 62: I am dealt 7d, 7h on the button. It's folded to me and I make my standard 3x BB raise. cartman again calls me in the BB. The flop comes 5c, Ks, 5d. cartman checks, I bet 300, cartman folds. Again I mock him. :) 1,360 chips.

Hand 67: We lost sabotai and are down to 7. I have Qh, Td in the BB. It is folded to Kerg who raises to 150. I figure he is trying to steal and I call. The flop is the Kh, Jd, Kd. Kerg bets 150. My hope here is that he has a K and if I hit my OESD he will pay me off. I call. The turn is the 7s. Kerg checks and I check. The river is the 5h. Kerg bets 100 and I fold. I am guessing he had something like AJ in that hand. 1,055 chips.

Hand 68: I have Qh, 2h in the sb. panerd open limps from MP, kingfc22 (our chip leader) raises to 250, on my way to fold I mis-clicked and called1/4 of my stack with Q2s out of position. Yee haw! panerd calls. The flop comes 2s, Js, 8d. I am praying kingfc has something like AK and will fold to a push. I shove all my chips in (just over a pot sized bet) with bottom pair, both players fold. Better to be lucky than good. 1,610 chips.

Level 4: Blinds 50/100

Hand 70: I have Qh, Qs on the button. kingfc open limps from MP, I raise to 400 and everyone folds. kingfc expresses frustration with his mid pair. I assure him he made a good fold and tell him I had 83o. 1,860 chips.

Hand 77: I pick up the blinds with an open raise on the button with AKo. 1,860 chips.

Hand 78: I pick up the blinds with an open raise from the CO with AQo. 2,010 chips.

Hand 80: I have Ah, Qc UTG. I make it 3x BB and I am sure someone is going to look me up here since I have raised 3 times in 4 hands. Sure enough Kerg calls my bet from the BB. The flop comes Kd, 8d, 8c. He bets 400 and I have to muck my hand. 1,710 chips.

Hand 81: I have Ks, 8h in the BB. It's folded to Kerg in the sb who completes and I check. The flop comes Jc, Tc, 7c. Kerg checks and I bet 300. Kerg folds. 1,810 chips.

Hand 83: I take the blinds with a raise from the button with QTo. 1,910 chips. The table is playing very very tight.

Level V: Blinds 75/150

Hand 98: It's been awhile since I have played a hand so I open raise 72o from the CO to 3x the BB. Everyone folds and I show my 72o to continue my mocking motiff. 1,985 chips.

Hand 101: I am dealt 8c, 8d UTG. I raise to 4x BB and panerd calls in the CO. The flop comes 5s, 2d, Kd. The blinds are catching up to me and this is a big pot so I figure I am going to make a move here and just hope he doesn;t have a K. I push all-in and panerd folds. 2,660 chips.

Hand 103: I have AJo in the sb. I open raise to put radii who is the short stack all-in. He folds. 2,660 chips.

Hand 108: I have Kd, Tc UTG. I open to 3x BB and panerd calls from the CO. I figure I will make a play at any non A board. The flop comes As, 3c, 5d. I check and pannerd pushes all-in. I quickly fold. 2,210 chips.

Hand 112: We have lost radii now and are down to 6. I have Th Tc in the CO. Kerg oipen raises from MP to 300. He only has 785 chips left after that bet. I push all-in to 1,985 to try and get it heads up with him. Everyone folds and Kerg calls. He flips over Kd, Td and I am in good shape. The flop is pretty scary Qs, Jd, 4s. The turn is the 4c and I get a little relief. However the river is the Ah and the pot goes sliding to Kerg. 980 chips.

Hand 114: I am short stacked now and I push with A7o from UTG and pick up the blinds. 1,205 chips.

Hand 117: After the blinds go through I am still short stacked. I push with T2s from the button and pick up the blinds again. 1,205 chips.

Hand 121: I have Qh, 4d in the BB. panerd open limps from MP and it is folded to me and I check. The flop comes 3d, 4s, Kh giving me middle pair, I move to bet the pot and mis-click again and check. panerd checks as well. The turn is the Td. I bet 450 and panerd calls. I might be in trouble now. The river however makes me two pair with the Qc. I push in my last 605 and panerd folds. 1,880 chips.

Hand 123: I pick up the blinds with a raise from the button with 88. 2,030 chips.

Level 6: Blinds 100/200

Hand 133: By now we have lost both Kerg and cartman and are officially on the bubble. I pickup the BB with a raise from the sb with 99. 2,205 chips.

Hand 138: I pick up the blinds with a raise from the button with JTs. 2,505 chips.

Hand 145: I have Kh, 4c in the SB. I open raise to 600 and panerd calls in the BB. The flop comes Qs, Js, 8d. We both check. The turn is the 5h. I check and oanerd bets 600 and I fold. I wasn't happy with the way I played that hand, but I am not sure of a better way to play it. 1,405 chips.

Hand 148: I have Ac, 9d in the BB. panerd open limps and it is folded to me. I push all-in with my 1,405 and panerd calls. He flips over 66 and it's a race. The flop is Ah, Jh, 8c and I am in good shape. panerd doesn't improve on the turn or river and I double up. 2,910 chips.

Hand 150: I pick up the blinds with a raise from the button with Kh Tc. 3,110 chips.

Hand 153: I have 55 in the SB. kingfc open raises on the button to 600. He is the chip leader, but has been playing pretty tight. He has already shown earlier that he will lay down a middle pair to my all-in and on the bubble I think he will likely lay down anything but a premium pair to a push. I push all-in and everyone folds. 3,710 chips.

Hand 154: I have Ac, Tc on the button. I open raise to 600 and panerd calls in the SB. The flop comes 7d, 7h, 7c. panerd immediately pushes all-in for 2,360. I am positive he doesn't have a seven and if he had something better than AT he would have almost certainly re-raised me preflop so I am about 100% positive I am good here. I was putting him on something like KQ. I call and panerd flips over Kd, Jh. I was close. I am a 72% favorite here and it looks like we are heading to the money with me in the chip lead. The turn crushes my hopes as it is the Kc. I now have 3 outs. The river is the Qd and I am crippled. 750 chips.


Hand 162: I make my final stand with only 450 chips on this hand. I have 4s, 4d UTG. I push and kingfc calls from the BB. He flips over 85o. It's a race. kingfc wins the race when the flop birngs a 5 and I am out of the tournament in 4th. That's poker baby!

Great read Rick -- probably would have been even better if I had been in the tourney, to see what you thought of how I play :)

[wahoomac]

Appropriate password for this week since I sucked out a couple of key times on the way to the win. I caught the nine on the turn agains Wahoo with A9 vs AK, then when I was short-stacked three-way I took down Panerds 88 with A6. The I knocked out kingfc when we were all-in pre-flop with my AJ vs. his A8 and he caught an 8 on the flop and I rivered him with a jack.

Oh, don't get me wrong ... I'll take it. That makes my third Squid. Hattrick!

Sometimes I wonder why I even play these tournaments, I just donate $10 every other week. I do so poor in them. My big mistake last night was pushing against Cartman with a middle pair and had to lay down when he reraised me.

Hey, whoever is tracking these tournaments, tell me how much I have spent on them and my ROI...:mad:

[kcchief19]

Great contribution, primelord. I love it! Makes me feel like i should do something along the same lines when I have the time.

Hand 16: I am dealt Ah 4h in the sb. panerd open limps from mp, kcchief raises to 60, I call and panerd calls. 200 chips in the pot and the flop comes As, 6d, Kd. At this point I am thinking I may have the best hand. Matt could have been raising an under pair or something like KQ. I know I don't want anyone drawing cheaply on me so I bet the pot 200, panerd folds and Matt calls. So at this point Matt either has an A or the flush draw. I highly doubt he calls a pot sized bet with middle pair. He might be slow rolling AK, but I don't think he is. Needless to say he likely has me beat right now. The turn is the 6h and has likely saved the hand for me. Unless he has AK we are likely going to split this pot. I bet 200. If he was slow playing now is the time I will hear from him. The small bet also looks like I am asking for a call and maybe he will do something silly like fold A9. Matt calls. The river is the Tc. And we both check. Matt shows Ad Qd and we split. Just to recap Matt flops top pair great kicker and the nut flush draw and he only calls my flop bet. With 400 chips in the pot at that point it is just worth taking down. Waiting until the turn cost him a decent pot. 1,460 in chips.

Very nice analysis of the hand. You're right that I let a great opportunity to pick up some easy chips at that point.

Here's my thought process. When you came out with the 200 chip bet on the flop, I thought it was a blatant steel. There were a lot of hands racing through my head -- AXs but not diamonds, wired pair, couple of face cards. I didn't have a good read. I have seen you make similar bets trying to take down pots without the best hand. Respecting your play, I figured if you had caught a lot of the flop -- AK, A6 or 66 -- you might slow it down and try to trap me. I also figured at this point you had no draw and were trying to beat me off of a draw.

Had you not bet 200, I certainly would have bet into you. I was pretty darn sure I had the best hand at that point, and I had reasonable odds to pick up the nuts and extract some more chips from you.

The turn was a horrible card for me because now I couldn't rule out A6. I didn't think you'd try to bluff at the pot twice, so now I knew you had caught part of the flop but I didn't know how much. When in doubt, I go to my Phil Gordon lesson for morons -- if you think you have the best hand go all in; if you think you're bet fold; and only if you're absolutely not sure call. That was the spot I was in. I wasn't at all comfortable with this hand at this point. I rate you a better player than I am, so I though there was a reasonable chance at this point we were tied, but I knew I had more outs than you did at this point.

Once the T came off I was fine with walking away from the hand with a split. Not great play by me clearly. Early tournament play is a weakness for me. I have a nasty habit of spewing chips early; once I get deeper into tournaments, my numbers for winning are much better. As a result, I have tended lately to avoid committing all or most of my stack in the first few levels on marginal hands. If there had not been a king on the flop and the 6 on the turn, I would have played it more aggressively. But I was content taking down a small pot or splitting rather than putting all my chips at risk.

Guess I shouldn't share my secret weakness with the gang ... :)

[Vince]

Well then make sure you get in next time. :)

Sadly, I'm one of the only people available to work the bar Sunday nights, so I'm usually not around. I've entered one of these tournaments, and lucked into winning it. I'm happy with that win percentage, but I'd like to play some more. Maybe when I start teaching, I'll be making enough money to take weekends off at the restaurant.

I thought you played the turn and the river well. It's highly unlikely I am playing middle pair in that fashion so by the turn you are at best splitting the pot and at worst behind. So putting in the min number of chips there is well played. The flop is where I think you really missed out.

With the blinds at only 10/20 you were looking at a 20 big blind pot after I bet the flop. Even if you are putting me on a steal that is the time to punish me for it. You don't need to wait for a big pot to make your move since the pot is already big. I am not saying you need to push all-in there, but at least doubling my raise is going to make it very difficult for me to call. Not to mention if I do call I am 1) almost certainly behind and would be making an unprofitable call which benefits you and 2) you have fantastic outs on the rare occasion I do have something like A6.

When you flop a monster like that and the pot is big, make sure you punish anyone who wants to stay in the hand with you. If they all fold it was still worth your while as you pick up 20 big blinds.

[Radii]

Hand 4: After getting into the tournament during late registration we are playing 6 handed. radii, cartman, panerd, kcchief and Kerg01 are at my table. I get dealt 93s on the button. It is folded to me and I open raise to 4x the BB. Radii re-raises me to 200. I believe Radii respects my play so this raise says one of two things. Either a) he believes I have a hand and can beat that hand or b) he knows it really wouldn't take much of a hand for me to steal there. Either way I am folding. I am at 1,390 in chips.

I either had ATs or AQ, I forget.


Hand 24: It is folded to me in the CO and I have Th, 5h. radii is on the button and is playing very tight. I raise to 4x the BB. I have a good chance of taking the blinds here and since radii is playing very tight even if not I will likely have absolute position and the inititave even if one of the blinds call. Everyone folds. 1,304 chips.


I was playing extrodinarily tight, for two reasons. One is that, as my luck would have it, the two times I've tried to play poker since my wife's surgery are the two times she'd needed me to be up and down helping her the most. Ah well, that's life. The other is that I had someone real agressive to my right and wasn't getting a lot of good shots to open up. ;)

Just to be clear I wasn't criticizing your play as much as just commenting on the situation. I figured you must have had something else going on as you went real long stretches without playing a hand and at least in the times I have played with you in the past that isn't your MO.

Just to be clear I wasn't criticizing your play as much as just commenting on the situation. I figured you must have had something else going on as you went real long stretches without playing a hand and at least in the times I have played with you in the past that isn't your MO.


One of my weaknesses is finding the right spots to play back at an agressive player. I still tend to play too passively to try to finish higher up the ladder and have to fight that, espicially when there is another agressive player at the table. I give in too easily and let someone else be the "table captain" even when I have a ton of chips.

At a more passive table, I'm a lot better at taking advantage of a lot of situations where I'm first in the pot and playing more agressively.
