Weekly Wednesday Night Poker Report #9, 3rd place is just the first loser

Hello everyone.  Time for another wednesday night poker report.  We had 20 players for a $50 freezeout. Lets get to the highlights. 

 

Feeling a little ill this week.  I decided to just show up for the tourney and skip the early/late cash games this week.  $50 freezeout.  Bought in about 8:30 and got the tournament underway.  Nothing much happening in the first hour.  Fold, fold, fold, then I looked down and saw pocket 8’s on the button.   I call and the flop comes 2h 5d 8s.  Blinds are at 100/200,  3 players check to me and i bet out 400.  2 callers.  Turn = Qs.   1 player checks, the next bets  200.  I raise it to 600.  1 folder, 1 call.  Heads up, he either has queens or is on a flush draw. River = 3h.  He checks and I bet 1000, call and I turn over trips to his 2 pair.

Next hand:  6s/7s  Late position.  blinds 100/200.  I call. Flop = 10h 5s 8s…..WOW..I’ve flopped a straight AND a straight flush draw.  Big blind bets with 2 callers including me.  3 players to the turn.  Turn = 9h.  Well I’ve hit my straight except there’s a chance my straight will be beat by a bigger straight.  Big blind bets, Early position folds and I call.  Heads up to the River.  River = Jd.  Okay still have a straight but I can be beat by a Q.  Big blind checks…smells like a trap to me so I check as well….unbelievable..he turns over 2 pair….and I turn over the straight.  Should have bet there but….a win is a win is a win.

Next hand: As/10s on the button.  blinds are 400/800.  Stack = 14,000. Folds all around to me, and see a good chance at stealing the blinds.  I raise to 1600.  To my amazement and dismay both blinds call.  Flop = 9s Qd 8d….Check, check, I check as well.  Turn = 2s…check, check, I decide to test the waters and bet out 800.  Both call, Im figuring Im beat.  River = Jc…well that made my straight but there’s a lot of cards out there that beat me.  Both blinds check and I turn over my straight.  It’s good.  Whew!

Next hand:As/10s Big blind.  Blinds = 500/1000. Stack = 18000 est. Folks starting to tighten up now.  We’re down to 10 players.  1 more and we go to the final table.  Folds around to the button who calls, small blind folds.  I notice the button has around 2000 left.  I decide to raise it and put him all in.  He calls.  Turns over Ks jc.  Heads up…probably %55 to %45.  Flop = Ad 2s 5c.  Good flop.  He’ll need runner runner….Turn = 10d…theres the dagger.  I win and we go to the final table.  Good lesson here is to always pay attention to other player’s chip stacks.  If you get a chance to knock em out…YOU TAKE IT!!

Final Table:  9 players.  Chip stack = 25000 est.  Im about 7th in chips.  But with the blinds going up so fast that can change in a hurry.  I hang on like an alligator for the first 30 minutes and then we get down to 5 players.  I look down in the big blind and find Ad/Ah.  WOW…I got 7000 chips and go ALL IN….I get called by 2 players.  All 3 of us are all in…Im in for 7000, next player in for 5000, and the least in for 3000.  At least I won’t be out if I lose.  Flop comes 5c 4h Kd….Turn = 10s….River = Jc.  I’ve got pair of aces, next player has trip 4’s….he gets the small pot…the other player has Jacks and he’s out.  In our tournament when we get down to 4 everyone gets their $50 back and the table is open for deals.  We agree to take $100 apiece and play for the rest.  Unfortunately for me…I didn’t catch another hand….1 player went out before me and then I was forced to go all in with a good buddy hand (10h 4c) and I was out in 3rd place.  The other 2 players split what was left of the pot, $480. 

Not a bad tournament.  Went home $50 winner. When the blinds get up like that…it really comes down to pure ol luck and timing.  No matter your chipstack…when those blinds get up to 8000/16000 …ya gotta get the cards to do battle. 

So long for now…Im going to take another dose of Nyquil

Till next time….

The long awaited TUNICA REPORT

Sorry for the lateness of the report.  Been a real chore catching up at work since I got back.  Had a wonderful trip to tunica.  Wound up losing $100 for the weekend.  Not bad Not bad at all.  Lets get to the highlights.

 

7 of us left out thursday evening around 8pm.  From our area it takes around 8 hours to arrive in Tunica.  Trip was uneventful other than driving thru a major rainstorm between Nashville and Memphis.  We arrived at the Gold Strike around 3:30am central time.  At the check in desk they informed us that we could check in at 4am, which I thought was really generous.  To kill the time I took the 4 people in our party and got each their player cards from the gold strike (MGM) and the Horseshoe next door (Harrah’s).  Also I gave em the tour and showed them where the poker rooms and restaurants were.   Came back to the check in desk, got the room keys and snoozed for a few hours. 

Friday Morning:  Got up around 8am and ate breakfast.  3 of us headed to the Blackjack tables at the gold strike.  Lots of fun and cutting up going on.  I really have no idea how to play blackjack optimally.   I know to split Aces and 8’s but after that…im pretty well lost.  I never bet more than 5 bucks, got blackjack a total of 5 times.  Not bad.  Dealers were good at humoring us andgoing along with the jokes.  After an hour of play, we all got a food comp and Im up $25. 

Friday Afternoon:  After checking the poker room at the gold strike, we headed over to the Horseshoe to play some seven card stud.  Had trouble catching hands in this one.  Lost $20 in this session…would have been more if not for one hand where I started with rolled up 9’s that filled up on the river.  A well hidden Full House that won a big pot.  Time for dinner.  

The courtyard buttet at the gold strike has an incredible seafood buffet on friday night.  Its even better when it’s comped.  I got my dad’s, his buddy, and my buffet comped …grand total would have been 78 bucks.  Awesome

After dinner it was back to he Horseshoe.  I had big plans to redeem myself in the $1-$5 stud game.  Best laid plans…blah blah blah…didn’t happen.  Again couldn’t catch anything.  When I had a great starting hand on 3rd street I would be beat by the river.  Extremely hard to make anyone fold in this game.  Played 5 hours till 2am.  Check the bankroll and Im down another $25 for the session…$50 total for 2 sessions of 7card…add in my $25 win for blackjack and Im down $25 for the trip so far.  Time to get some sleep. 

Saturday Morning. Get up around 9am.  Open the windows and notice that my room is on the  mississippi river side of the gold strike on the 29th floor.  WHAT A VIEW!  Ate breakfast andwalked around deciding the battle plan for the day.  I watched my buddy Kendall play blackjack for an hour or two, then he, Joe, and I went up the poker room at the gold strike to check out the action.  I asked if there was a table for omaha hi/low…nope but should be soon…why not play 3/6 limit hold’em until it gets ready….no problem. 

Game: Texas hold’em $3/$6 limit

4 of us…myself, kendall, joe and doug sat down at the 3/6 table for hold em.  9 players.  We could have stayed home andtaken each others bankrolls…but we’re having a good time so what the hell.  Early on caught a flush to win a decent pot.  Lost 2 good pots with 2nd best hand to doug and joe…..set me back pretty good but would rather lose to them.  Then in the big blind I was dealt Qh 10h……5 players to the flop….flop = Qc Qd 10d…..WOW…floopedthe full house…small blind checks…I check….everyone else checks…DAMN!  On to the turn.  Turn = Qs…..DOUBLE WOW! small blind checks…I check…UTGbets out…2 players fold…small blind calls…so do I.  Im figuring the early position bet out as a bluff andthe small blindhas a pocket pair.   Here comes the river.  River = As…Now the small blind bets out…I raise…the UTGfolds…small blind calls…sure enough..he turns over POCKET ACES!….I turn over my Q…….not a big pot but decent.  The omaha hi/low table is opening up..and Im moving!

Game: Omaha hi/low $3/$6 with a full kill

I love omaha hi/low.  Probably my favorite poker game.  Sorry but hold’em bores the hell out of me.  Plus Im really not that good at it.  Not that im better at Omaha…but the game does intrigue me.  The limits are $3/$6 with a full kill.  I asked for an explanation of the word KILL.  It’s when one player scoops the pot, he is forced to put $6 in for a kill pot.  The blinds still put up 1/3…but the game limits move from $3/$6 to $6/$12.  So instead of it being $3 dollars to call pre/flop, it’s $6.   I sat at the table for 7 straight hours…here are some of the highlights.

Starting hand:  Ac 2c Kd Qd

Flop = 3s 6h 7h.  Well I’ve flopped the nut low hand but Im not raising.  Kendall andI are at a table with some omaha hi/low regulars it’s easy to see.   5 players…I call and so does Kendall. 

Turn = 10h.  Low hand still good…Kendall raises…I call…1 other player calls.  Looks like 3 to the river

River = Jd.  We’re in a kill pot so the big blind bets out $12.  Kendall immediately raises to $24.  I call andthe blindcalls.  Kendall hit his straight flush with 8h/9h…andI get the nut low.  The blind had hit his straight on the river.  Kendall and i split about $150 pot

The rest of the time I was up and down.  I never got down more than $20, but I could never get more than $40 ahead either. 

Starting hand : Ad Kd 10s Jc

In the big blind.  No raises or I probably would have folded.  Flop = 10d Jd3c…WHOA.  I’ve got a flush/straight flush/straight draw withmiddle pair already.  I call the small blind…low and behold 2 raises come out.  I call em all…nice pot brewing.   Turn = 6d…well I’ve hit the nut flush.  I still have my straight andstraight flush draws working.  Again..the small blind bets out andI wind up calling 2 raises.  River = 4s…I’ve got the nut flush.  Not pairs on the board, only thing out there is a straight draw…which i pray that someone hits.  There is a low hand.  Small blind bets and I raise…I get 2 of the 4 other players to fold but get 1 raise.  I call and the other player calls.  I show my flush and the other 2 players turn over A/2.   I get the high and they split the low.  Both argue for 15 minutes over raising with the low hand. 

Starting hand = Ac 2s 8c Ks

In the small blind.  Not a great starting hand but I do have an ace andI am double suited.  8 players in for a nice pot.  Flop = 3h 6d 8c.  I’ve flopped the nut low with top pair.  Everyone calls.  Turn = Qs.  2 raisers this time and I ride along.  River = Jd.  Again…raise raise raise…i go along wondering what in the hell everyone has.  On the last raise there is 4 folders…leaving 4 of us at the showdown.  Turn em up…I have A/2 but so do 2 others!!! ugggg!! The other guy turns over his cards and has a pair of Jacks!!!!!….he wins the high side and we 3 dumbasses have to quarter the low side.  I wind up lost 10 bucks by splitting the low side. 

I get up disgusted.  After checking the bankroll…Im down a total of $170.  Not bad…but certainly not good

6pm rolls around and Im supposed to meat everyone over at the Horseshoe for dinner.  So it’s my last hand

Saturday Night:

Walked over to the horseshoe to eat dinner.  Had my dinner comped from the seven card stud play the night before.  The buffet at the Horseshoe is really good.  Lots of choices.  Italian, chinese, country, barbecue…and a huge desert bar. 

After dinner we head up and watch the UT – Alabama game.  Alabama smokes em to my delight but I can’t say much because my UK wildcats got absolutely killed earlier by florida. 

After the game we head back downstairs.  All the tables are full.  The World Poker Open is going on in the convention rooms down the hall so we walk down and check em out.  One player in our group, Mike, played in 3 satellites friday, won one and entered in one of the 500 tourneys but was put out early.   We decide to walk over to the Horseshoe and see if we can get back in the seven card stud game, no luck there either.  I decide to walk back to the Gold strike and try my hand at the craps table. 

I’ve played craps before, but it’s a game, at least in my view, that you have to play all the time. I forget all the odds and payoffs.  The only system I know is the 3 pt molly.  Which is bet on the pass line, put odds, bet on the come, and put odds…keep 3 numbers working.  And thats all I did.  I bought in for 100 bucks.  Rolled a couple of times.  Played for 2 hours….looked down and to my amazement I was up $20.  “color me up”  I yelled quickly and got the heck out. 

Walked around for a little while and found my group back at the blackjack tables.  Apparently this trip has turned some poker players into blackjack players.  I flop down when an open seats comes up andbuy in for $100.  We have a great time for around 3 hours.  I hit about 5 blackjacks.  Then I almost nodded off.  i look down and it’s 4:30 am…YIKES!!! I color up and find Im up around $55 bucks.  I head off to my room and do a bankroll check and Im down exactly $100.  I’ll take that any day of the week. 

Get up early sunday and resist the urge to gamble some more.  Check out and we get on the road.  It was a wonderful trip.  Everyone at the gold strike were wonderful.  Im telling ya it gets better everytime I go.  This trip was great because there was a boatload of friends that went along.  4 of them had never been and they had a great time.  Heck even my dad had a great time.  Definitely a trip to remember.  We didn’t win a lot but we didn’t lose a lot either.  At least none that anyone is telling.  Poker players never lie…do they?

until next time

Pokerstop.com report from the EPT in london

European Poker Tour London Won by Dramatic Comeback

The 2008 European Poker Tour London Main Event ended in dramatic fashion as American Michael Martin staged one of the greatest comebacks in recent history to win the GBP 1 million first-place prize.

The EPT London tournament featured yet another record-setting field.  556 players each chipped in GBP 5,200 to generate a prize pool of GBP 3,349,200. Only 56 of those players would make it into the money. Among those who got paid in London included such famous names as Vanessa Rousso (39th), Erik Friberg (35th), Scotty Nguyen (32nd), Beth Shak (31st), Sorel Mizzi (27th), “November Niner” Peter Eastgate (18th), Max Pescatori (15th) and David Benyamine (12th).

EPT London Final Table

On the last day, the final table setup was as follows:

Seat 1 — Eric Liu (USA) — 1,308,000
Seat 2 — Johannes Strassmann (Germany) –434,000
Seat 3 — Philippe D’Auteuil (Candaa) — 476,000
Seat 4 — Antony Lellouche (France) — 1,022,000
Seat 5 — Michael Tureniec (Sweden) — 1,331,000
Seat 6 — Alan Smurfit (Ireland) — 396,000
Seat 7 — Marcin Horecki (Poland) — 309,000
Seat 8 — Michael Martin (USA) — 718,000

After Johannes Strassman dismissed Antony Lellouche in 8th, Strassman himself exited in 7th. Michael Martin would then take care of Alan Smurfit, after the 66-year-old Irishman ran into Martin’s jacks. Canadian Philippe Dauteuil would finish in 5th, after running 8-8 into the kings of Team PokerStars Pro Marcin Horecki.

During four-handed play, Martin found himself down to just 95,000 in chips, with 80,000 committed to his big blind, looking up to Eric Liu, who had more chips than his three opponents combined. Martin picked up 8-8 and tripled up to 250K, followed immediately by wins with pocket nines and aces in back-to-back hands. The flurry of action left Martin with chip lead and Liu done in 4th. After Horecki was bounced in 3rd place by Swedish PokerStars qualifier Michael Tureniec of Sweden, the table was set for one-on-one play.

The heads-up battle would sway severely in Martin’s favor, after he called Tureniec’s bluff on a jack-high board with second pair. Later, Martin’s pocket fours would improve to a set on the turn, eliminating the Swede and his K-9. Martin took home GBP 1 million (~ $1.75 million USD) for the win, while the online qualifier was able to collect GBP 525,314 (~ $925,000 USD) for finishing as runner-up.

Wednesday Night Poker Report #8. The road to redemption

As bad as last wednesday was, this wednesday night was really fantastic.  Unbelievable night.  Won everything that I lost last week back and then some.  I was on a rush and I gotta tell ya, IT FELT GOOD! I was really feeling low and dejected after last week, but now Im pumped up, money wise and confidence wise.  Lets get to the HIGHlights. 

Sat down at the early cash game and bought in for $60.  Full table of 9 players.  Now for some reason, I really stink at a full cash game table.  Don’t know why, but I seem to never catch any cards to battle with and this time was no exception.  After 1 hour I haven’t won a hand and Im down $60.  Thank goodness 4 other players show up and I go to the 2nd table, 5 handed.  Buy in for $40.  I already have $100 invested and haven’t even played 2 hours yet.  This session goes a little better..can you believe I actually go the Ace of Spades on high chicago?  Haven’t had that in weeks.  Win several small pots in omaha hi/low.  After an hour Im up $30 for the session..down 30 for the night. 

And then it happened…the game was POT LIMIT OMAHA.  A game that never gets called…possibly because it can break you for the night in one hand.  Omaha has a way of teasing a player..giving him just enough of a hand to follow all the way to the river…then BAM!!..you DROWN!..or maybe….just maybe…that boat fills up with MONEY!.  Here we go: 

Game:  Pot limit Omaha 2/4.  Starting hand 4d 4h Kd Kh decent starting hand double suited. 5 players.  Under the gun bets the pot, next player calls, I call.  Both blinds fold, 3 players left.   Flop = Qs 4c 7c.  Well I’ve hit trips on the flop.  Both players in front of me bet the pot.  It’s $77 to me and I call…Damn what a pot! Turn = 10h..Both players bet the pot…player to my left goes all in…I call.  Im 99% sure both are on a flush draw.  River = Qc…WOW!  There’s my boat.  1st player goes all in for $20…naturally Im gonna call.  Now at this point the pot is right around $300 or $400.  What Im worrying about is 4 queens or someone has a Q/10, Q4, Q7…but if Im beat …Im beat….cards turn over and just as I thought…both players hit their flush draws…MY FULL HOUSE WINS….WOW.  That game pretty much broke up the cash game.  After cashing in my chips and counting the bankroll, Im now UP $100…unbelievable. 

Tournament:  $50 freezeout.  12 players.  Im still on a rush from the pot limit omaha game.  Basically I played like Junk.  Never got a hand.  3 levels in I hit a pair of 10’s on the flop.  Player after me goes all in and I call.  He turns over a pair of deuces that trips him up.  They hold on and Im out.  Hey Im still up $50 and everyone is still talking about that pot limit omaha hand. 

Late night cash game: Bought in for $50.  Play tight, try to win one big hand an hour.  I actually stayed with it this week.  Won a couple of chicago pots.  Scooped once when I got the Ace of spades AGAIN..thats 3 times tonight.  Then I went on a roll that can only be described as the spade flush, after flush, after flush.  The game was omaha high only.  Great starting hands 3 times in a row.  As Qs, nut flush…As 2s…nut flush….As Ks..nut flush….Unbelievable…3 big pots in a row.  Look down at my stack and Im up $200. 

Game:  $3/$5 Seven Card Stud/low card in the hole wild/Roll the first one/last card costs $5 to turn it up.  My first 3 cards…2d 2h 7h…Nice…I roll the 7 over.  Bets all around.  4th street = 5s…Bets around…I still have to call.  5th street = 2c….wow…okay 4 7’s right now..but in this game that can be beat.  6 players till in and I have to call.  6th street = 8h…okay that seemed to scare everybody….which it should..I’ve got a straight flush now..(7h..8h…my 3 wild cards = 9h ..10h..Jh…)  I bet out…2 players fold…4 players in.  7th street = I take the card down since there isn’t any card that could be lower than my pair of deuces.  7th street = 7 SPADES…WOW!. it’s all i can do to keep a straight face.  1st player bets out, next player folds, next player calls, I RAISE it to $10…1st player calls, next player raises it …I take the last raise…1st player folds…next player calls…turn em up…my 5 7’s beat 4 aces.   WOOO!…

I play tight the rest of the night.  Mostly split some pots the rest of the night.  We quit at 3am…after counting up the bankroll…Im up ……$320…whew…Unbelievable night.  Made up for last week and then some.  Couldn’t come at a better time since the Tunica trip is next weekend.

The ups and downs of poker never cease to amaze me.  From the lowest of lows last week, to the highest of highs this week.  Its unbelievable.  Never boring…maybe thats the secret to the popularity. 

 

There may not be a wednesday night poker report next week.  Im off to Tunica on Thursday oct 23rd..May try to rest up for the long drive.  However, I will try to have a full report on our trip by no later than Tuesday oct 28.

Weekly Wednesday Night Poker Report #7. KABOOM!!

Sorry for the tardiness of this week’s ..actually last weeks …report.  I’ve been busy trying to find my bankroll..because it’s GONE.  Terrible night…actually the worst night of poker ever for me.  Lost $200.  Very disgusted with myself.  I wasn’t the only big loser. In fact almost everyone lost…except one person who was the BIG Winner.  I don’t remember anyone at our wednesday night game ever winning more.  He won money during the early cash game, He won the tournament, and He won money during the late cash game.  Never seen such a rush before.  Let’s get to the Hand lowlight(s).

Game:  7 card stud/high chicago – dealt Ks 4d in the hole, door card = Kd, high pair and 2 to a flush I bet out. By the way, I DESPISE getting a Ks during a high chicago game. Great way to go broke, unless the Ace shows up.   Everyone calls.  4th street = 4s, okay now I’ve got 2 pair and  a Ks, still betting out.  5th street= 2c…terrible card for me and the Ace of spades is still out there hidden somewhere.  Checks all around.  6th street = 4c…I’ve hit my boat and now Im betting out strong.  3 callers..now Im thinking my Ks may be best as no one raises me.  7th street = rag….still betting out and I get called…turn over the boat and the king of spades….SCOOP THE POT!!…great win ..but the bad part is IT WAS THE ONLY WIN for me during the early cash game…tournament rolls around and Im down $100.

Tournament starts.  This week is a $50 freezeout…my kind of tournament.  18 players.  Didn’t play too bad but not too good either.  Went card dead towards the end wound up 6th which is the same as last really..both pay the same.  Hand highlight  from the tourney:

Get dealt Jc 2c on the button.  Blinds are 25/50.  Everyone limps so as an experiment I thought I would try something.  I raise it to 500.  To my amazement everyone folds except 2 players.  Unusual this early in the tournament.  Flop comes – 7h Kd 6c…rainbow flop and it’s checked back to me.  I bet out 500 again, 1 folder and now im heads up.  Turn = 3s, check to me …bet 500 again…get a call.  River = 10h…straight draw..check to me again…this time I bet 1000…didn’t want to overbet.  “will you show me if I fold”…”are you folding” I reply…”yep”..I show the bluff.  I was beat with a pair of kings…he thought I had the straight. 

LEARNING POINT:  position is everything in Texas Hold’em.  You have to make the bluff believable, having the info in front of you is invaluable.

The late night cash game went better than the first.  Instead of winning one hand..I actually won TWO hands..ugh.  Some more Lowlights:

game: Omaha hi/low – starting hand 7d 7h Qd Ah…not a bad starting hand and Im in the blind..almost out of chips….Flop = 5h 9d 7c…okay I hit trips on the flop and I go all in for my last 20 bucks.  Turn = 10d.  Well now I have a flush draw on top of the trips/full house draw.  Outs galore.  Just my luck Im down to my last few bucks and have to go all in and can’t grab anymore chips.  River = Kd…BAM..got my Flush but I have to worry that someone has the ace.  I can scoop as there is no low hand.  That is I can scoop what got in it anyways…Damn what a time to be up against it.  Everyone turns over and my flush was the best hand…Get my part of the pot…wasn’t bad but made me cringe thinking about how much I could have had. 

2nd hand:  Omaha hi/low – starting hand = Ac 2d Kc Jd – good starting hand.  I’ve been beat to death on A/2 all night.  Flop comes Ad 2c 9c–Destroyed my low hand but I’ve got a club flush working.  Turn = Jd ..got a pair with my flush draw…everyone runs except me and the big winner.  River = Ks…2 pair but my flush is destroyed.  The big winner bets out and I call…heck Im getting 10 to 1 on my money.  I figure Im beat with the straight but to my surprise he has 2 pair..2/9’s….My K/J’s take the pot….

Those two wins almost brought me back to even.  But as the night wore on I was beat time after time after time.  Was beat on the River at least 10 times.  Never seen anyone on a rush like that.  Hopefully that will happen to me someday.  I’m really disgusted with my play.  Mainly because I got away from my cash game motto:  “play tight, try to win one big pot an hour”…I need to clean that up if I want to win anything when we go to Tunica next week.

My lesson learned the hard way:  Sometimes you go on a rush, and sometimes it’s just not your  night, but you need to have the discipline to know the difference.  Some nights it’s just better to get up and walk away.
