Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

Went in for a quickie last night. Very first hand I get JhJc, raisy daisy, one caller, middle-aged guy with a decent stack. Flop: 6d-5d-3d. He leads for 25, I raise to 70, he pushes, I reckon he's making a play with a draw, maybe Ad-6/5/4, I call. He has 63, I don't suck out, I stack off. Very first ****ing hand :rolleyes:. I didn't believe him, I was wrong :mad:.

So I take it easy for a bit, and of course, I'm bleeding chips and wondering if I'll ever hit a flop. MP1 raises to 12, MP2 calls, I get 86o on OTB and call, blinds fold. Flop: A-T-7r. MP1 checks, MP1 bets 10, I call for the gutshot drawing thin to the virtual nuts. MP1 check-raises to 30, MP2 calls, I'm priced in and in position, I have an easy call. Turn: 9 :thumbsu:. MP1 comes out betting 100, MP2 tanks for an eternity, he likes his hand, but eventually folds. I push for 145, MP1 calls and shows A-9 for aces up, I flip my 2nd nuts and it holds up.

A little while later I get TT in late position. MP raises to 13, I call. Flop 8-8-4, he bets 15, I min-raise, he calls. Turn: 6. He bets 50, I call. River: T :thumbsu:. He bets 70, I pause and announce all-in. His eyes roll and the blood drains from his face, he folds, I muck and take the pot.

Leave up which I was happy with after losing $200 on my very first hand!

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

Not my proudest moment. Lately, JJ has been a bad hand for me when I've had it, and a good hand for me when my opponent has had it.

No wonder no one likes them :eek:
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

Got Friday off so went it to Crown Thursday night. Saw a guy make a straight flush twice within 15 minutes! After the first one he was saying how he'd played 5 years and had only made one once before. BANG! 15 minutes later, another one!

In between those hands, we saw a board of 977-7-8. One player had 99, the other 76.

Most boring read ever...

Not your usual quality R+B...
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

Played last night for the first time with Tim Duckworth who some of you may know or heard off. He got into a heated argument with a female dealer and was constantly getting dealt out. He lost 1, maybe 2 buyins, but by the end of the night had a decent stack, maybe 700-800. He won a pot for over $500 then went down like this.

MP raises to 11, Tim 3-bets to 30 I think, MP calls. Queen high flop, MP bets 46, Tim min-raises to 92, MP calls. They get it all in on the turn. Tim has AQ, MP has, Q5o for top pair, no kicker.

How does someone lose $260 with Q5o?

Guy next to me mentions that I've been quiet, haven't raised or won a pot. So I get the monster 53o UTG+1. UTG limps, I raise to 15, two callers, limper calls. Flop: x-x-2 two spades, we check it round. Ace on the turn, UTG bets 30, for some reason I call, we're heads up. 4s on the river, I make my wheel, except there's a flush out there now. UTG bets 80, I feel I have to call, he has A6ss :mad: Can't believe he 1-outed me :thumbsdown: (for those that need it explained, that was obviously the only card it the deck that hits me and pays him off)

I double up later with 44 on a 664 flop.

Drunk Norwegian comes to the table. UTG raises to 15, drunk calls. Flop 443, UTG bets 15, drunk calls, 2 on the turn, 15, call. K on the river, UTG bets 50, drunk thinks but calls. UTG has AJ, drunk has 92o for the win :thumbsu:

A few hands later, drunk is involved in another pot. SB raises to 20, drunk calls. Flop King high with two hearts, drunk checks, SB bets, drunk raises, SB calls. Jh on the turn, SB pushes for about 220, drunk insta-calls. SB knows he's up against a flush. SB turned top two, drunk had the monster K7o, for top pair only, no flush draw, yep he insta-called a push drawing dead :thumbsu:

Last hand of the night, 64o from the BB. Only MP, SB and me. Flop the joint 7-high, I check, MP bets 20 into a pot of 9. I say, ok, 1 more. Turn 7, I check, he checks. River 3 (like wtf?), I check, he bets 10 (weird), I call. He has ducks! Stupid hand.
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

KFC was "out of burgers" so i had to get popcorn chicken

Played blackjack at like 5am, for some reason was playing $50 a hand at a $15 table. Got two aces, split em, got 13 and 14, lost the hand.

Fell asleep at a roulette table watching my group play and security tapped me on the shoulder to move along.

Crown is awesome.
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

wow, almost 6 weeks and no posts here!

i finished work late and thought i might head in, my 2nd time in like forever.

played 3 hours, up $200, no big hands of note. just this:

guy arrives from a broken table, has about 500, looks like he has no idea, and he doesn't, but he has to see every flop and tends to call players down. gets paid off cos he plays so weird. so he's UTG and he raises to 10, dealer reminds him he is actually BB. a few limpers, he raises his option to 15, just 2 callers I think. flop 532. sb bets 20, new guy raises to 50, MP tanks and finally pushes for an additional 190.

sb folds, new guy snap calls of course cos he has 65o :rolleyes:. Asian in MP has 99.

Turn: 6
River: 5

nh wp gg wtf srsly

poker's great :thumbsu:

utg = under the gun, person to immediate left of big blind

mp = middle position

limping = to just call the blind

Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

May aswell post an update.

played 5/10 yesterday. 500-2k buyin, bought in for 2k. So many *******s it's awesome

Won about 1.1k or so. ran pretty hot at the start but then got into a few sick spots at the end.


Utg straddles, I make it 95 (made it big because I know he's never fold his straddle) with QQ utg +1 (Had 3.3k behind), friend on my direct left flats (3kish behind). CO who is spazzy makes it 250 (1.8k behind), utg (1.5k behind) overcalls. I tank for ages and i figure he's spazzy but i dont think he's spaz enough to flip out on a 4bet with something like AJ/AQ/A10/99/1010. Since we were deep i didn't really want to get it in eitehr, for 100bb sure I would snap get it in. I flat , my friend flats.

A109sss flop i have Qs. Checks to my friend who bets 2k putting the other two in. utg calls, me and spaz fold. Frined wins with AK. Spaz said he had JJ and obv would have called my ship..
ghey.

oh also played this hilarious hand where this SUPER nit. Im talking like 3/3/1 worlds biggest f nit. Anyway it straddles nit flats straddle, folds to me i make it like 90 OTB with QKo. Folds to nit flats AJ8sss. He checks, I check back. Turn J, he checks I check back river 3. He checks i check back he tables AA. nice.
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

hey guys, me and a mate are heading into crown monday night about 11-12 midnight and are going to stay until the morning for the $50 +$25 multi-table tourny... what is our chances of getting on a 2/3 table at this time as we dont want to go there and there is only 1 table running all night which is impossible to get on to....

thanks guys
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

I actually went in for the first time in ages on Sat night. Started with $150 and had an extremely dry night with cards. I was actually being very patient which I was very pleased with. After about an hour and a half I sat in the BB and got 3s6s and the flop came down As2s5s. I bet $7 as there were about 6-7 limpers preflop. The guy who ended up being my nemisis raised it to $20 and there was 1 caller and in my first mistake of the night I called here. Turn was 9h and I bet $40, got called by only 1 of the 2. River was another spade and I should have given up the hand here but instead moved all in. He called straight away with the King of Spades.

I bought back in for $120 and again got nothing for 30 minutes. My BB comes around and I have 4-10 offsuit, nemisis raises it to $6 ??? so of course everyone called. Flop came down 4-6-10. I checked it round to him and he bet $30 which was called by 1 other guy so I tanked for a bit and then moved all in. It comes back to the bettor who declares that he puts me on pocket 6's and then called which I could understand. He had 10-A but the board didnt repeat and there was no A for him so I was back where I started at.

About half an hour goes on and the DH berates another player for calling $70 with A-Q and only 6 outs. A couple of hands later I pick up A-10 and make it $12 to go and there are 3 callers. Flop comes out A-3-4. Bet is $25 which gets called by all. Turn is a 10 and utg makes it $45, DH raises to all in to $80, gets called by the guy he berated and I raise all in for $190 and both guys call with one of them all in for $140. The river is a 5 and of course the idiot turns over 3-2 for the rivered straight, never mind that he only had 5 outs when he went all in. I won the side pot which left me down $5 but would have really been flying had I not been outdrawn.

Very next hand I get pocket 6's and I'm sure the table thinks I am tilting so I act along. New guy to the tables raised it to $20 and I called from 2 off the button. Flop is 6-5-4, guy bets $30 which I flat call. Turn is a 3 and he bets $45 and I call again. River is a 5 and newbie checked. I thought about it for all of 2 seconds and moved all in hoping that he'd put me on tilt and call, unfortunately he had nothing.

A while goes by and I'm on the button when someone decides to straddle to $12. 2 guys call before someone makes it $25, I look down and see the lovely rockets and make it $75 to go. The guy next to me literally just sat down for his first hand and goes all in for $130. It's folded round to me and I obviously call and he turns over the cowboys but didn't hit any so I took down what was to be my final pot.

All in all I was very happy with my play, didn't get sucked into to playing poor hands.
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

Sounds like a good night out Borgsta. Sucks about the fourth spade coming out on the board... really leaves a guys who already hit a low flush vulnerable.

i was only thinking about it last night but playing low suited connectors can occasionally get you into trouble even when you hit your flush...

it's an unlikely scenario but when you play, for instance 3s4s and the flop comes 6s 9s As and you think "bingo, i'm in here". obviousbly you have to bet out to stop other guys who may have one spade hitting their flush which would be higher than your flush.... but you can get hurt on that rare occasion when someone has played with, for instance, KsTs and you are just putting dead money into the pot and not even realising.... not only does it hurt you on that hand but can effect your play for some time to come....

I bought back in for $120 and again got nothing for 30 minutes. My BB comes around and I have 4-10 offsuit, nemisis raises it to $6 ??? so of course everyone called. Flop came down 4-6-10. I checked it round to him and he bet $30 which was called by 1 other guy so I tanked for a bit and then moved all in. It comes back to the bettor who declares that he puts me on pocket 6's and then called which I could understand. He had 10-A but the board didnt repeat and there was no A for him so I was back where I started at.

why would he call if he put you on pocket 6's giving you three of a kind to his one pair... unless of course you meant he put you on a pair of 6's...
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

No he said he thinks I have pocket 6's and hit my set. I couldnt understand half of his plays but he took about $300-$400 from me :(
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

some more hands from 5/10.

Straddle to 20, 5 callers, I call in sb with 89dd. 7 to the flop. 10QJr. I bet 105 into 140, two callers. Turn 2h, 2nd heart out there i bet 350, guy makes it 900, other dude folds i shove he calls , he has AK and flatted the straddle , nice f'n moron. There's a sweet 4k pot.

2k stacks, straddle, i make it 80 with 1010, SB and straddler call. 859dd flop, check to me I decide to check back because to many drawy hands can check raise me off the best hand and i don want to get it in flipping vs combo draws with 200bb stacks. Turn random 10. Sb leads 200, I make it 650, he shoves, i call fast. He has 67cc, river 5. eat it.


different session.

Stradde, mp makes it 100, I make it 300 OTB with KK. 2k effective stacks, he makes it 1000, I shove he calls, he has AA. Cool , wtf is this shit.

UTG opens to 35 ******* in the hijack calls i call OTB /w 33. 2.3k effective stacks. Flop 993ss, utg leads 120, ******* calls, i flat. Turn 5x, utg leads 350, ******* calls, i tank for a bit then decide to ship it in utg folds. ******* tanks for like 30seconds and calls with 910o, river 5. Cool 5.5k pot that i lose, **** my life
 
Re: Experience at crown - Part 2

F^ck me, you must have some money to throw around Knowledge...those are some serious pots.

Very unlucky with those losing hands...not much to say, it would obviously suck

Unlucky, but that must be some soft game.

I have never understood the straddle. Why would you deliberately put money in the pot in bad position with random cards? Makes no sense to me.
UTG opens to 35 ******* in the hijack calls i call OTB /w 33. 2.3k effective stacks. Flop 993ss, utg leads 120, ******* calls, i flat. Turn 5x, utg leads 350, ******* calls, i tank for a bit then decide to ship it in utg folds. ******* tanks for like 30seconds and calls with 910o, river 5. Cool 5.5k pot that i lose, **** my life

That's some nasty shit.
