donk donates money part 2

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Ok, I admit I played this awful. But I just tried to get more money in the pot and I succeeded. Luckily he didn’t have A9s or something like that. But as long as players like this one keep playing against me, I’m not having complaints

Btw, today I reached the 1400FPP and ordered a black cotton sweatshirt (hehe ). Think I’m going to switch to Full Tilt or Everest, ‘cos actually I want to start playing with a bonus or some rakeback. Pokerstars doesn’t offer me any of these atm so … and FTP gives 27% rakeback so probably that will be the choice

AA vs. KK vs. QQ

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

The dealer decided it was time for a big joke, one that ended up fantastic for me He decided to deal three players with the following premium hands: AA, KK and QQ (that would be me).

The AA did a small raise to 0.75$, the guy with KK reraised him to 2.75$ and I reraised to 6$ which left me with a remaining stack of 8$. The aces went all-in, obviously called by KK and I didn’t have any other option to call the all-in too. Although I knew I was beat but you know, the pod odds. But I was the lucky one: I did hit a set and picked up a nice main pot.

In just one hand my bad plays of the hour before (I didn’t hit a thing and tried stealing pots without success) got compensated.

KK cracked by nut flush on the river

Thursday, November 6th, 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.

flopping a set

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

… is always nice!

Especially against some donk with top pair and a lousy kicker who probably thought he got best. Just look at the screenshot: I obviously folded on the flop when those two players began their betting game. I was quite surprised when one of them showed K6 offsuit. A hand I would never play, certainly not in that position. You see, it costed the guy a lot of dollars.

Actually I was convinced the quality of players at PokerStars was a bit better than that (on microstakes too, yes), but after seeing this hand I think I’ll stick to the Pokerstars Cash games for a while.

Sharkscope downfall

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

I have to cope with an unlucky streak in the sit and go’s I recently played, unfortunately. In summer I was going very well as you can see on the sharkscope screenshot. After that, a couple of tilting days brought me almost back where I came from but I think I did recover well from that steaming period.  But the last couple of weeks I had some new bad runs as you can see. The graph is going down again 

Maybe I just might keep playing on the 0.1/0.25$ cash tables at Pokerstars. At the moment, they earn me a decent profit. Or perhaps I’m just developing into a cash game player, even more tight than I already was

Can anybody explain what my opponent in this hand is thinking? I didn’t continue to bet on fifth street, because I feared I was facing a slowplayed overpair to my jacks. The showdown made me a happy man

It’s not visible in the excerpt of the hand, but the pokerstars replay showed my opponent had

K3 suited? Why? Do I look like a frequent bluffer
