Very nice @XY ! Best of luck! 

After moaning so much on my blog my luck began to change last night and I cashed 4 out of the 5 UOS events I played, and practically bubbled the other. Cashed all 'mains' but the 100 is the only one I made day 2 of and as you can see I'm not a great stack but there is still hope! 

I'm not sure the hand you show is the best way to play it, and someone else may advise - but it is EXACTLY the way I would of played it lol Well played in my opinion but I've been asking myself a lot this week 'What do I know?' lol. Could argue that we had the chance to get it all in and double up on the turn but I prefer the low variance route and I would worry about being only called by sets. Tonnes of missed draws and 89 type hands for them to hang themselves with. Love the river for the fact that it's not a spade, diamond or completes any straight, and AQ probably 3 bets pre so that rules a load of combo's out that beat us. Few worries in 44 / 88 / KQ /  QJ / Q10 but don't think we are ever folding the river anyway.

Wow,really nice run @MetalWolf!

Wanted to make a "post of support" on your blog,but most of the members already covered what I wanted to say.
Can only recommend to you,make a recap so far and decide which way you wanna go after UOS,considering your private life.
Whatever you choose,please keep blog alive... 😃

Thanks for sharing your stories so far and sharing your opinions about this game,not so many players would do that.
Really appreciate!

 

Sharing the same tought process behind that AK hand!
Yeah,he couldnt have (represent) much there other than a flush draw.Even 88,maybe,would reraise considering how deep we are.
If he had "tree of a kind",he would go for a bigger raises and shove on the turn,or on the river...
On the "turn" was tempted to shove,but again had in mind that I have a nice flush blocker/s therefore could squeeze more value from a bluff/s.Also,I risk much more than he,if he decide to go for that flush considering it was a early stage of the tournament.If I can express like that.
Was tempted to shove the river,but think it would be a bit suicidally.


In a early stage of the tournament had this two fishes at my table...Just when I targeted their chips,system found me other table...  :laugh:

You have no need to worry about that I will defo keep the blog alive! Still planning to be back on the UK tour later in the year and will take one final shot at UO London.  And thanks for the kind words. 

Yeah river shove defo suicidal. Unlikely they call unless they have you beat. I like the way you played it.

Interesting hand - am interested to see how others would play it (I haven't read replies yet).

This is how I would play it.

Preflop - With 69bb I would be betting a bit bigger here as a min raise is giving people good odds to call with a variety of hands and you will then be playing a drawing hand oop.  I would go for x2.5.

Flop - I would cbet here as you have the pre flop lead and a Q is well within your range. If he calls, you still have 2 overcards.  By check calling you are handing the initiative to him.  If I did check here (which wouldn't be very often), then it would only be to check raise if I had expected him to attack my check.  I'd then be showing a lot of strength and also have 2 overcards. I'd fire again if a A, K, J, T or a spade turned up on the turn.  However, that is a high variance play in a MTT so possibly not the best approach from me. I like to mix it up a bit every now and then though.

Turn - I would lead out here for 3k. If I check, there is a good chance he will check behind either for pot control with a Q or to take a free card on a straight draw (his range will include a lot of broadway cards) or a flush draw.  We raised UTG preflop so he isn't going to be too happy to see the K.  So I'd rather charge him some chips.    The size is deliberately on the small size to entice a call from a Q.  Some may think this is too small as it is opening me up to facing a completed spade or diamond flush on the river - they may be right. 

River - Nasty card at first sight, but then I'd remember that he didn't pot control by checking the turn making holding a queen less likely.  So as played out to his bet, I'd call here.

However, I wouldn't have checked here as you are then giving him the control of the size of what is likely to be the final bet. I'd lead out for about 1/3rd of the pot and fold to a raise.    If I thought that the opponent was overly aggressive and was attacking a perceived weakness, I'd seriously consider calling a river shove. 

nb If you had lead the betting on the flop he probably would not have still been in the pot. 

Thanks for the hand!

Nothing big to report...journey ended up at a 16.spot for a 251,19€ :cash:

Overall satisfied,but left out with a bit of a bad taste.After a few chips exchanges,ended up doubling through Neumanriel  (AQs shove <AT BB-call).
Few hands later,same player took his chips back. 😉
I guess KARMA after yesterdays comment. :scared:

Must admit I played that hand very,very,veeeeery poorly.With around 20-25bb open the action (min. raise) from the button.Get called from the BB ( Neumanriel  ).Flop came 2A9,all in spades.
I betted 1/3 of the pot,if I am not mistaken.Get call.
Turn brought low club (under 9),but cant remember which one.
Neumanriel  check,I shoved all-in (pot was about 7,000+/-,I shoved around 20,000).
As soon as I clicked that all-in button,I regreted and said to myself-"he have a flush".
Indeed he had! 4 and 7 of spades was his hand that beated up my AQ of dimonds. 😞

To be honest,didnt put much toughts into this hand,sadly.I played that hand like a noob who saw AA as a pocket hand,and wants to push all-in no mater what.
I thought he have one spade,therefore wanted to kill the action on the turn with the shove... 
Low concentracion and disconnection/lag,few minutes before,had impact.


On the other hand,ended up in a 5.spot in E39 (Nano) for about 25€,and some points. :cash:
Satisfied!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Along the journey in E37 (100€) had a spot that is very interesting,and would like to hear your opinions @MetalWolf and @sgriff.

Cant remember exact chip stacks,but range is about 30-60bb between all the players on the table.
I am in SB.
Cutoff opens the action with a min.raise,or 2,5x.
Button calls.
I called (Q10 of hearts).
BB then reraise big.I,immediately,puted him on AA.
Cutoff then goes all-in.I putted him on AK or JJ.
Button folds.

My question is,would you call in this spot (and how often you would do it) considering pay jumps?
Between min.cash and 10.place is "very little difference".
Do you ever take this chances with about 20-25% equity,as a "big boost" or "a big fail"?
If I can put it like that.


Hand ended up with...I folded,BB called.
He (BB) indeed had AA,and CO had AK.
Flop came JcKh8s,Turn brought 9h and the river was 10h.

Just to mention,I am not result oriented in this case,but wanna know how often do you take this situations/hands,if you take them ever.
Maybe I just see it all wrong and need to kick this idea out from my head. :happyshy:


Thanks for sharing your thoughts @sgriff  on AK hand!
Really appreciate and see the points!

Who thinks it is real poker I think he never played at a real table. The first picture is at the table and right after the move from that table happened the second picture. That does not think it's a coincidence just I mean that no matter how much you focus on playing the apparatus, he chooses everything he wants.I believed in this software because before I do not happen so many coincidences, or at least for a while there are too many such situations at my tables. Quite disappointing especially since playing online for at least 11 or 12 years. I really can make the difference. It starts to look more and more like p..888 or p..stars.where well understood one of the jumps I decided to exclude again to another game only occasionally when I get some free deals what i start here too.😠

The short answer is yes absolutely I could call. But probably not with 30+bbs. I still might. Defo with 20bbs if the payouts are pretty flat. It really depends on a lot of factors like how I perceive the overall table skill, current payout and when that gets significantly better, next blind level and how fast etc

End of the day I want to be top 3. Not grinding to double my money. I wish I had this scenario in the €100 event because it never happened And i ended up with €167 consistently struggling against the blinds. This would of been a perfect ‘go hard or go home’ position for me. Like you say you got only an extra €100 for finishing about 30 places above me so I would defo take the risk for a shot at 6.5k.

only with a big suited connector/1 gapper though. I might fold QQ in the scenario you mention but call QJ suited.

@SCOBY  You can not draw conclusions from  freeroll this is simply weird.  Blaming site for bad play  from others players.  You can easily calculate chances for: 2, 3, 4 cards of the same suite,  under different conditions. Try real deals in your room with real  card, you have many softwares.  This is typical behaviour player without a bankroll, I used to do it too in the past.  Now I do it  very rarely,  but it also happens  when i have bad day ;)  I have a friend on Skype and he attacks me with such screensots  every day. You must change your view of this game.You must play on mode:  Play it cool!  

No matter if you lose  beacuse another player hits:  2pairs,straight,  flush.  Lose is lose, close your table and forgot about it.

@SCOBY   on Unibet field  from freeolls ->5€ is very similar.  On 1-2€ is even worse beacuse here you have many players playing for 1 euro is like a freeroll,  but generally this situations you have on others sites.  But here you have anonymity, change aliases. If you want some serious poker you need to go higher :)  I also  havent a bankroll and im playing  for fun,. but if you want to treat this game seriously, first :

1. Bankroll

2. No sport bets.

3. No casino.

4. Increase volume according to your bankroll. I think safety bankroll on Unibet field is 200 Buy-ins on your avarge stake. Setup some daily limit  loss etc.

Actually, you had inferior cards towards two of the players. You had 26% preflop.

You're not against each of the hands separately but against all of them at the same time. There are 11 overcards in the deck which beat you pair and one of your set out is used

Today I lost 2 key hands after preflop allin with Ak. The first one really hurts me but I can't blame rng but me because card's nick tells you you'd better fold if you got this combination but I called.
