bah, finally get back to vegas for the first time in 4 years and totally screw the pooch. entered a $50 tourney at the riviera and got 4th (out of the money) after my AQ was cracked by QJ, and then in a 1/2 cash game at mgm, the hand went like this:

i get QQ in the BB and the button raises to $10. we're the only two players, so i just call. flop is xxJ with two spades. i check, guy bets $20 and i come over the top all in for another $80. normally i'd reraise preflop, but the guy had been raising with trash so i wanted to make some money. the guy finally calls and turns over KJ, and of course a K comes on the turn. i really can't think of a better way to play that hand, because he would've just called a reraise.

who plays poker around campus these days?

8/23/2009 5:48:12 AM

i just got nutsacked in the face. my buddy spotted me 50 which i quickly ran up to $2,000 and then proceeded to play a HU match for $500 which i lost on a 70/30 river bounce. From there I spewed most of the remaining $1500, threw a chiar into a wall, and tried to drown myself in the bathtub.


I haven't done any illegal drugs this week if you count Saturday as the first day of the week.

Fuck man.

8/24/2009 1:54:08 AM

Haha rally that really made me chuckle reading that post.

8/24/2009 4:45:06 AM

^^ how did you quickly turn $50 into $2K?

8/24/2009 9:12:39 AM

^A hot 'sit and go' streak is definitely one way to do it.

We did it with a 33 to a 55, to a 75, to multiple 55s, and a couple of drunken 160s. I pissed away my half and about a week later my buddy did it again with a $20 bonus. Tried donking it away .50/1 getting ~ $36 and just climbing the SNG latter.

wtb those skillz

8/24/2009 9:53:06 AM

So you basically put over half your entire bankroll on one SnG in the beginning hoping to win?

8/24/2009 10:08:29 AM

^me? I rollercoastered a 30 dollar deposit and we came home drunk one night and split a 33+3. I figured my chances in cashing were fairly good, even considering variance. If not, I was only stuck 18 bucks. *shrug*

8/24/2009 3:34:05 PM

$100 ultra ss turbo heads up, 5 10 limit heads up, 4 max, 6 max etc. Anything with action

8/24/2009 5:22:44 PM

eh? so nobody plays on campus?

8/24/2009 5:58:41 PM

id be willing to play live sometime assuming there was a decent game. I'm not leaving the house for $5 buyin.

8/24/2009 6:09:55 PM

thename theres plenty of games around campus, pm me and i'll be able to give you some contact information of games i know!

8/24/2009 8:54:35 PM

I am interested as well. Playing 1 2 right now in durham with brainos.

8/24/2009 9:19:15 PM

Anyone want/need money on Cake? Trying to get mine off, $165. Trade it for either FT or Stars?

David, Rally and a few others can vouch for me if needed.

8/24/2009 9:21:03 PM

Haha. I know you rob but I don't play. Sry

8/24/2009 9:29:31 PM

^you could still vouch for me!

=)

8/24/2009 9:35:30 PM

Haha. I misread your comma.

8/24/2009 10:00:17 PM

i know of a game every night of the week within 30 mins of state, stakes are usually 1/2. I'm also aware of a 1/3 hi-lo game that usually runs monday and friday.

[Edited on August 25, 2009 at 2:31 AM. Reason : aaa]

8/25/2009 2:31:21 AM

^30 mins in which direction?

8/25/2009 3:07:57 AM

I know of a .25/.5 and .5/1 weekly with a big crowd like 10 mins from campus.

Also know of the worlds juiciest 1/3 in Cary (older lolbad [but super nice] crowd)...

8/25/2009 5:00:49 AM

What nights in Cary do you usually play?

8/25/2009 10:23:35 AM

Well I just moved to DC since I graduated, so I doubt i'll be playing there.

But if i'm not mistaken it runs on Mondays and Thursdays.

8/25/2009 6:04:09 PM

yea i've been to the cary game a few times....it's quite juicy!

8/26/2009 12:19:53 AM

8/26/2009 7:33:19 PM

Was he pushing alot?

8/26/2009 10:05:45 PM

it was the first hand heads up between us

no way I'm ever folding there regardless of how much he was pushing anyways

I can't complain though...I've managed to turn $50 into $540 over the last few weeks on the $.10/$.25 tables and a couple SNG's

[Edited on August 26, 2009 at 11:30 PM. Reason : /]

8/26/2009 11:28:36 PM

I've got a funny story though, I swear on my life this is a true story...

one of my friends went broke and I shipped him $10 on Full Tilt on January 15 this year. He has not deposited a single dollar since then, and is now up almost $30,000. This dude has turned into a beast. His name is 'AsianRiceCooker'

and yes, he shipped me back my $10.

8/26/2009 11:46:15 PM

I don't know...vs a passive guy I would lay that down. But really I think you should of raised that PF. It makes the call WAY easier. Plus alot of equity in that hand.

8/27/2009 5:34:03 PM

Did your buddy start with the $3.3 Knockout SNGs?

8/27/2009 5:36:05 PM

I like the call. You have to assume the guy would raise with a hand like AQ or KQ. There are so many draws out there and with a huge all in like that there's a pretty big chance he has a draw.

8/27/2009 9:08:18 PM

everyone says its not true and all that, but i swear i can predict what card is coming on 75% of the hands on pstars. i pretty much expect 3 outers to hit with regularity

8/27/2009 9:40:24 PM

It really depends on the read, as played though, your right it probably is a call. In position raise 10Q and this doesn't look so messy. Calling 11810 into 4000 (1.34:1, 43% equity required) is alot better then calling 12560 into 1555 (1.12:1, 47% equity required).

8/27/2009 9:59:07 PM

"Did your buddy start with the $3.3 Knockout SNGs?"

yeah I think he did actually. he loves the $24+2 KO's now, $576 for 1st place. i think he won 2 of those in one night at the beginning of his run which gave him about $1000 to work with.

8/28/2009 8:16:00 AM

If you or anyone ya know might be interested i'm looking into picking up some horses for my micro/low army.

How long do these take?
How quickly do they start i.e. how many do you usually end up playing at once?

8/30/2009 10:48:24 PM

id be interested in being staked in some tourneys and the like. i'm play mostly cash games but a proven sng and tourney winner when i play that. My stars name is ablee. I have a few wins in the several top 3's in the 4.40 180 mans but don't have the bankroll but would love the opportunity to play a little higher as i'm not properly rolled for anything higher.

Umm they load at peak every 5 mins or so. I've played 25-30 at once. Solid winners in them can have ROIs in the ballpark of 130%. The shitty regs still manage to win at a fairly good clip.

8/30/2009 11:12:11 PM

Damn, I have to try this next weekend.

8/30/2009 11:15:32 PM

Oh yeh they ... they take ~3.5hrs to win.

Just to paint the picture - if for example you play 400 a week at 100% ROI (which I could coach someone to in a week or so i'd imagine) you would profit like $1600 bucks. Even at 200 a week, a little less hardcore you could prolly make some reasonable cash (although after a few weeks if you didn't move up your head might explode).

8/30/2009 11:16:36 PM

How many could I play in a Sunday from 12-10?

8/30/2009 11:27:20 PM

Umm...if we assume that they load every ~7mins on average.....

10 in the morning til midnight - (14hrs * 60mins) / 7mins = 120

So if ya ran at like a measly 75% ROI u'd make like 360 bucks..

8/30/2009 11:37:21 PM

Heh, for a poker player you aren't too good with #s. 12-10 buddy.
