Running quads … So sick

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Found these at qofdiamonds.com

I’ve seen a lot of sick things in online poker, but this? This is fucking insane, hehehehehe

We had some server issues but …

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

now we’re back I’ll start with another quite nice hand for me I played on Fat Bet Poker a couple a days ago. I warn you: Fat Bet Poker is known for his amount of complete donks hitting the tables The site is ugly, hand history features are rubbish, but yeah you can’t have all

One of the most common beginner mistakes when playing Hold’em is to not think about the action but just call and don’t get rid of your (not super but quite good) hands. Such attitude got me paid of

I’ll do my best reconstruct the table (as I said, the hand histories at Fat Bet are rubbish). I got deals some nice suited connectors

and my opponent picked up

in early position so he raised to 1$ preflop. I was in late position so obviously I called hoping for a monster flop.

The flop showed us

which was a fantastic flop for me The guy with AQos kept (over)betting, for an amount of 3$. I decided to just flatcall, hoping for some next bets on turn and river.

Turn:

Ok, two pair ! Not super, but probably enough to have this guy beat. I put him on a high pocket pair … The guy betted 5$ and again I just called. So we both went to the river which gave me probably the nuts. The river was another 8 so I made a full boat. He betted again with only toppair, 9$ and I came over the top pushin all-in. Within one single all his money went in, shoving it into my direction

Strange thing, isn’t it? The player just had to let his hand go when he could, but he didn’t and that way he donated me alot of money (for a 25NL table, potsize was 65EUR). So what do we remind? Don’t just push the buttons, but take the time to overthink the hand and action to make a smart decision. If not, you’ll get surprised a lot

flopped a straight

Monday, December 8th, 2008

Somebody raises a significant amount preflop, you decide to call with your suited connectors and flop a straight. That’s an excellent scenario. I experienced this a few minutes ago. I so needed it because I’m not running good at Full Tilt Poker. The first days were going very well with some nice winnings, but last week I had some steaming days and also some bad beats and I just lost all my profit. So now I’m working on the way back and tighten up a bit

When will I learn to be steam-resistant ?

KK cracked by nut flush on the river

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

I’m doing quite fine this evening. I’m even hitting rivers, normally not one of my specialities To illustrate this, see the attached video. I pick up

on the big blind, and see a raise to 1$ and a call. I decided just to call and not to raise, despite of my bad position. Afterwards maybe the good decision: the guy with KK would probably have reraised me all-in preflop. Not sure if I would have folded that, but Q6 would probably have. Well, so I just called.

The flop didn’t hit me, but I picked up a nice nut flush draw (+ I certainly got some additional outs because of my 2 overcards). The guy in first position decided to play it quick: he immediately pushed all-in with his overpair. The next one flat called (what was he actually thinking? Top pair with pretty good kicker will be enough? Wouldn’t think so, pal)

Ok, my turn! Why should I ever fold this? I got lots of outs plus the pot odds are just too good to let this slip. So I called and also just called the remaining bets of the player with Q6. Maybe it was a better move to push that guy all-in straight away, but ok.

The turn came a blank, but the river offered me a big smile So I took down a nice pot.

damn, didn’t see that coming

And yes, some new donkey moves

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

These donkeys just keep giving me their money I’ll give some new examples: what are these people actually thinking? I would say: keep gambing then I’ll keep playing a tight ass motherfucker

First example:

I flopped a set and checked it to lure my opponent into a bet, which happened. On the turn (a blank) I decided to make a very little bet, and just see what happens then … ROFL

Second example:

I don’t understand his flatcalling … And off course not the one on the river Btw, my bet on the flop was a misclick, wanted to bet some more Fortunately the river helped me, or I would have lost some money to these donk :p

donk donates some money

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Just like the girl from Queen of diamonds, I often get confrontations with players who are just gambling and don’t try to think too much about the game as it develops. See the video below for example. Ok, he could have been calling with an ace (or two diamonds) but the call on the river is just a formality. Don’t quite get what he is trying to achieve, except adding some $ to my bankroll. Btw, three players at the table, what the hell? Suddenly a couple players sat out or disappeared so I decided this would be my last hand to play. Fortunately that was a good choice.

what a nice flop hehe
