The after effects of Okie - Vegas


Warning to all who hang with bloggers Hammeritis is contagious! Tonights 50/50, Action was raise, call, hammer push allin, fold and AQ call. I have learned not to doubt the power of hammer.

OKIE-VEGAS storms the Riverwind

I had the distinct pleasure and honor of meeting several bloggers for the first time last night for a freindley little game of 1/2 NL at Riverwind Casino in Norman OK. This distinguished tabled included the following:

tripjax in the 1 seat
Several different poor souls in the 2 seat
yours truly in the 3 seat
Gary Carson in the 4 seat
Im23skidoo in the 5 seat
GCox25 in the 6 seat
Maudie in the 7 seat
surflexus in the 8 seat
katitude in the 9 seat



So here is the breakdown of the game by the numbers



1 - was what table we were playing at

2 - the number of times sets lost at the show down, once the dreaded set over set, second time the dreaded gutshot suckout

3 - the number of people that I doulbled up at one point or another

4 - thenumber of poor souls that sat down with us then left a lot lighter in the Bank Roll

5 - the number of times the hammer dragged the pot

6 - the number of stacks TripJax had after played his KK on the button to perfection against my 1010 in the BB on 786 flop

7 - the number of times I heard SO CO referenced to

8 - the number of dealers that we had

9 - the number of times the word Donkey was used



1000 - the laughs heard and memories created



Have a great weekend and I leave you with this, the next time you sit down at the felt I hope, no I wish that you find this guy sitting there as well.




This picture is real - not doctored in any way and was taken by a Transportation Supervisor for a company that delivers building materials for 84 Lumber. While the plywood and 2X4's are fairly obvious, what you can't see is the back seat, which contains - are you ready for this? 10 bags of concrete @ 80 lbs. each. They estimated the load weight at 3000 lbs. Both back tires exploded, the wheels bent and the rear shocks were driven through the floorboard.

I dont want to play this guy in a game of Poker either!

Bloody Wednesday



One of the worst days online in quite a while. In the Cash Games I was stacked several times. My draws never got there, my sets were sucked out on, KK in the BB vs an aggressive button with AA, and donkeys who don't go beyond level one thinking. I am going to stick to nut pedalling, people cant lay down top pair at any level.


M00k was fun but brutal. I got chastised by an individual for calling an All In Re raise with A6 on 457 flop, when I knew he more than likely had just an overpair. I had him covered, and even if I missed still would have had 12 plus BB. I hit and cruised into the break in the top 5, second hour was just horrendous. I knocked out a few people and was sitting firmly in the top 5 when the wheels came off. I can't remember the details, but I know I double up a shorty when I bet my top pair on Qxx flop from the SB and he just happened to have bottom 2. I doubled up a mid stack when I re raised from the button with AK out flopped their JJ only to see them river a set. And the fatal blow was this hand. I was in the BB with a 6h2h, limped in MP and the SB folds, I check and we see a flop of 8h2cXh. I bet the pot which was about 1/4 of my stack and the limper who has me covered slightly pushes, I call because there is no way I am getting away from 14 out twice. The limper turns over 9x9h for the over pair, turn card is Xh, river is Xh and I am runner runner counterfeited for the higher flush. Fawk me!!!

During the M00K i was also playing the 50/50 I was consistently hanging around the top 30 through the 2nd break. I had been catching cards and was moved to a table were I was the chipleader. We were starting to get close to the bubble blinds were 300/900/25 and a MP raised to 900. The MP was the 2nd largest stack with about 12K, I had 14K. I have AQ on the button and decide it is time for the patent pending Hoy Re-Steal, so knowing that the MP will have to fold anything but AA, KK, QQ since the bubble approaches. Rule number in online poker

The MP Insta Calls with 99, I mean he never even thought about it. I would have been different if I had been showing down chit cards but image was OK. I had been bullying the table but I had not shown down one single crap hand. I didn't improve was crippled but managed to make the money but Cheeze and Rice how do you make that call.

So that was that. I might head down to RiverWind Casino tonight and hook up with Bloggers who are in for Okie-Vegas.

That is Just Wrong - Names Gone Wrong

Why you should fold KK on a River Bet

He called bets all the way to the river, then fired 1/3 pot bet when the J hit the river. I knew I was beat with his AJ but the inner donkey in me paid him off. This is why I continue to be a donater in big MTT.

Why you never fold KK preflop in Donkament



If looks like AA, smells like AA it must be JJ in Donkament. I still cant believe I folded to the re re raise.
Finished 4th in the Mook last night and I am OK with how I played. To be honest when we got down to 6 handed I was tired and since I found out my vacation was going to be cut short since my Boss quit (yea!) I took gambles to break people. This obviously didn't work out in my favor but all in all I am happy with my play.

Table 173 - Seat 6 for about 4hours

Most of you probably heard that I failed to make it into day 2, well here is how it went down.

Table draw was a pretty good mix of no names with one name I recognized David Angel . For the first couple of orbits is was raise and take with the one seat and nine seat being the aggressors. I played about 3 hands, flopping a set 10s, checking raising on a bluff with KQ sooted on a 8xx board and Cbet AK on a Kxx flop, this allowed me to get to about 23K and then I played a big pot with the aggressive one seat. He had raised my blind about three times and I decided to reraise 3x with AKo, he called. I CBet XdXdX flop and was called again, turn was check check. At this point I had on AJ-AK then the 3d hit the river, he made a pot sized bet that I called thinking that my read was still correct and that he was just making a stab and I was spot on with my read AK however they were both diamonds and I was now around 13K. From there I battled back up to about 18K prior to the first break by playing 8d5d on the button after 4 players limped and I was able to get the right odds to fill my straight on the river when one of Steve Danneman's home game buddies only bet about 1/5 of the pot on the turn.

Hour 3 started off promising with me finding AA and re raising David Angel's UTG raise, he pondered but laid it down which was a bit disappointing but brought me back to almost 20k. I tried limping in MP with 55 but folded to raise 600 and Button re-raise 2000, even though my implied odds were there I didn't want to gamble 1/10 my stack out of position. About 30 minutes passed and I had dwindled down to about 16K when I founder two black Jacks UTG, I made it 600 go and UTG +2 smoothed called, BB and SB both folded. Now my read on the UTG + 2 was neutral, he hadn't been outline but was a little more active than most of the people at the table, he had a stack of 20-22 k. The was 3h2h2d and I lead 1200 and am confused when I get min raised up to 2000. I couldn't put him on a 2, so my initial read was AK maybe of heart draw or 55-1010, I needed more information so I re-raised him to 6000, he thought for a second and called. With about 8000 left I was faced with a decision when the Qd hit the turn, I thought for a minute but my read was still mid pair or flush draw, he could have the AQ hearts but I decided that I was going to continue to represent my big hand I pushed all in, he insta called with two red Aces, another Q on the river and I hit the rail very disappointed. His hand that caught me by suprise considering the way the hand played out with him not re raising preflop, I guess I understand the smooth call of the RR on the flop, because it would be hard for him to not be convinced his hand was a head but he definitely gave a great chance to catch another Jack or get a way from the hand if an Ace or K heart or even a 5-10 hits, the Qd was one the few cards I felt couldn't have helped his hand.

All in all I very disappointed and discouraged, I played some 2-5 the next day for a few hours but all in all that was about it. I did enjoy meeting fuel and cmitch but unfortunately didn't get to meet lucko or chad.

I will hopefully hook up with a few of the bloggers that are coming to Okie Vegas next week.

Thanks once again for all the text messages and emails of support.

You must experience failure to appreciate success.



So with BBT behind me (Congrats to Bayne, BuddyDank, JECIIMED, Hoy and Iggy) it is effn time to get serious. Just a warning I am going to Vegas with the intent of making a deep run in the ME. Fawk making the money, I made the money and then put up the money to play. My goal is to make a run. I may bust out day one, I may be the bubble boy, who knows but I aint scared.

Here is the count down to the shuffle up and deal on Day 1c.


I will be putting up post during the tournament so you can follow me here until I start making enough noise that guys and gals over at pokernews take notice.

Work Tilt = MEGA TILT


Sorry for the lack of post this week but I have been extremely busy. In fact the last day that I had off was Easter. Now granted I don't have to go into the office on the weekends but I am on call 24/7 and the fact that my phone can and will ring at anytime can be quite tiresome. Couple the work load with the fact that my boss is a XXX Micro Manager who basically is under qualified for the position, and I am on a major work tilt that has my whole life screwed up. I can't get anything right, especially in poker. I had a glimmer of hope on Sunday during the Riverchasers HORSE event which I took 2nd, and I flash of brilliance in the early stage of the MATH on Monday when I jumped out to huge lead, only to tilt that off after I made a bad call against Bayne_S just because I thought he was trying to bluff me. I am getting know where fast. I so glad the BBT is ending because that now is becoming a grind, as you can tell by my early exit in last nights Riverchaser event. I have now matched my lowest place (5th) on the BBT Leaderboard since the it started. I am truly disappointed with my performance because I felt like I could really put together a good run here the last few weeks, now I am just hoping to hang on to the final 5th position come Sunday during the "big game"

Finally there is something coming up next weekend that I am really looking forward to. That is right it is my VACATION! No cell phone, no email, no pain in the Ass Boss, no one bitching at me because I cant get their products made, oh and I almost forgot I get to play in the WSOP ME. Pretty sad that I am looking forward to being away from my job more than playing in the WSOP.

I am sorry about how whiny this post is but I need to vent and after all it is my blog.

I promise Alan I will put together a That Just Wrong next Wednesday, then I leave you with this tidbit.

Cash Craziness / Live Win


TGIF!

I finally booked a winning day on the virtual felt for the first time in a long time. I decided that I needed change it up, so I fired up some cash tables. Now I will to be the first to tell you that I am a cash donk! It is part of my game that I just hadn't worked on. About a month ago I bought PokerTracker and PokerAce HUD (yes I know welcome to the 20th century) with the goal of trying to improve my cash stats and plug some leaks.

Yesterday the programs paid for themselves. I had a few hours to kill before my weekly home game started and I didn't want to run the option of getting stuck to big so I bellied up to a big ol .50/1 NL 6 Max table on FullTilt (Bonus Code OSU). Now I dont fish for juicy tables but I do look at the chip stacks and players per flop as a guage. I dont and wont set down at table with a bunch of short buyers, my ideal is several people at the hovering around the max buyin and maybe one or two big stacks. The table I chose had had the following stacks at it: 2 people $100, 1 person that had $150, one at about $75, and one big boy at a little over $300. I had stats on most of the guys especially daddy warstacks whom pokertracker had auto rated as a "Tight Aggressive Aggressive" so I want to be leary of him, so I thought.

Within 10 minutes I had double through Mr. TAA when he pushed JJ into my AA preflop. So far so good, I continued to play for about 30 minutes with my chips hovering around $200 when the following hand came up. I was in the BB with 3d3c, Mr TAA is on the button and makes it $4 to go, the SB calls (no stats on him but he had about $60 in chips) so I call for implied set odds. Flop is Ah3hX and I know that Mr. Tight has more than like just paired his Big Ace (thanks to my Poker tracker and PokerAce Hud, I see that he will play aggressive after the flop), SB checks, I check to give Mr TAA a chance to define his hand. Just like clockwork he fires out $12 and then the SB goes allin over the top for about $55 more. WTF is going here, no way am I folding a set here. I cant worry about set over set, so I put him on two pair or a flush draw but I then wonder if I can get Mr. TAA to come along for the ride. So I min raise the to $90 leaving myself about $90 and to my surprise and joy mr TAA pushes all in and I insta call. The cards are revealed and SB was indeed on the flush draw and MR TAA risked his whole wad on TPTK with AK. All I have to do is dodge a heart to win the huge main pot but at worst I should win a very big side pot that will issure some profit on the hand. The turn is 4c and the river is a heart, the 4 of hearts. So I rake a pot of over $575 and decide to take the money and run to finish up almost 5 buyins in about 45 minutes.

Later that night I am playing in my weekly home game. We do a $50 freezeout with $1/2 after the tourney. We normally have about 20 people show up for the tourney, with highs of 30 people lows of 14. last night I think we had 19. I was card rack early, I caught KK twice, AA and AK all with in the first 5 levels, so I hit the final table as the predominant big stack. We played down to about 6 people when this interesting hand came up. I was in the BB (800/400/50) with 9s7s and UTG + 1 open pushes AI for 3300, MP calls off his last 3000 and then I decide with 3:1 odds I have to call off about 25% of stack. Both players flip up KQ off (yes I play with donks) and I am golden on the flop when it comes 6810. As Fuel would say flopped straights are gold. When we got down to 3 handed it became push monkey time, won a huge pot with A7 vs KJ and had about 70% of the chips, we decided on a chop gave me 85% of first place money.

Have a safe weekend.

That is Just Wrong -Drinking Gone Wrong

We have all been there. Maybe had one or ten too many. I present to you this weeks that is just wrong






















Monday, June 18, 2007

One Hand

In every poker tournament there is usually "one hand" that defines your fate, good or bad. The good hand can be getting someone to commit themselves to TPTK when you flopped a set, or when you totally misread your opponent but go runner, runner for the suckout. If it is the bad hand it doesn't have to be the bustout hand and it doesn't have to necessarily be a bad beat, just a hand that eventually lead to your demise.

Yesterday in the FTP 100 WSOP ME, I got off to a good start. I flopped a set within the first 5 hands and played it to perfection with a hyper aggressive player who bet enough to pot commit himself but somehow managed to laydown an allin check raise by me on the turn with the pot laying him 4:1.

I also flopped a boat but couldn't get the same hypo to bite, and got several mid to big pairs. The first hour was pretty good and I was in the top 25% of chip leaders.

Sometime during the second hour my table broke and I was moved to a different table with one of the chipleaders. The average chipstack was may 4.5K this person had almost 30K and was on my left three people away. This guy was limp/calling every hand, calling any bets on the flop and betting enough to put the person all in on the turn. So needless to say I was not getting to see many flops but was still in top 50% of chips. It was about 15 minutes till the 2nd break when the "one hand" that defined my tournament played out. I was in the SB with a 4h6h and $6K in chips, the Monster Stack decided that he would not play in MP and 4 people limped I called and we saw a flop five handed. The flop was 4s8d6d, now I have bottom 2 and I am first to act. With all the possible draws there is no need to get cute, I over bet the pot $1200 into $1000 pot and get smooth called in 2 places. The turn was the ugliest card I could have ever seen.

I am not going to go broke with 2 pair when both a flush draw and straight draw just completed. I have no choice but to check fold and watch 1/3 of my chips get shipped. I didn't tilt necessarily, but I just somehow felt that this was an omen. The next hand I pick up an AJ on the button, I make a 3x raise not realizing "Monster Stack" had limped UTG, he calls and we see XXX flop rainbow and Monster checks, what do you do? Now I have $4.5K which is avg, there is $4K in the pot, If I check I am dead even if an ace comes because I he could have anything, so I decided that I was going to throw out a Cbet bluff that looked like I wanted a call and would pot commit me of 2.5K. I felt like I had to gain information and this was the only way I could. Monster stack goes into the tank and lets his timer run down and then even uses his time extension for a little more theatrics before re raising me just enough to set me in. Now his performance convinced me I was drawing dead to either a set or AA and I laid my hand down getting 4:1, maybe it was a bad lay down but I still had a couple chips. I busted out shortly later when my KQ ran into AK on K high board.

I don't know how I feel about my performance, I am disappointed but not defeated. See ya at the MATH tonight.

O'fer

O'fer 3 this week in the BBT events. I must admit Bayne_S is putting on clinic, I am not conceding yet, but man his performance has been impressive. As for me, Mookie and MATH I was pleased with the way I played but the cards didn't go my way. That's Poker!

As for my performance in the Riverchasers, lets just say it is damn near impossible to play in a live tournament and online at the same but I tried last night. Busto in fifteen minutes in the Rivershasers, took 2nd out of 30 in the live $50 tourney.

Wish me luck I am playing in FullTilt's (Bonus Code OSU) 100 seat ME Give Away this weekend since I qualified for it almost 3 months ago and hopefully can snag my 2nd seat. Lord know my BR could use the $12k.

Have a great weekend and to all the dads out there enjoy your day but mostly enjoy your kids.
