Southern poker league

[dirty2]

Main event here I come

 

[dirty2]

Well. That was a roller coaster

Started off well... Was playing really well... Raised/called/folded when I should was just over 240k after the 2nd break....

Then... I played poorly. Was still getting the good cards.. and hitting.... But I would get done by the higher kicker... Or some chick hitting the straight at the end.... And some bastard slow playing his pocket Q's which... Annoyed me and lost alot. (I knew I was in trouble just felt it but called anyways).

So from 240k ish I was down to 61k and prob a little tilted.

Decided well... Got to be aggressive. Sink or swim time.

Utg+1 raises to 15k I look down at QdJd oh well... I re raise to 30k he calls... (I was sb)

Flop was 10,7 and something else shit... Already decided if the flop was shit I was gonna just shove... So my last 31k goes in the middle.. and he tanks for awhile... In my head I'm like just fold... I got nothing.. (while I try and sit there looking like I'm strong ) and he folds.

Anyways... Bagged at 112k so it's ok... But from being In a strong position at around 240k I'm very disappointed with my self.

Bagged 324k on day 1B. Stoked with how I played considering the tricky players I had on my table all day

Played the tag team tonight, had KK cracked by a flopped straight, then a flopped but flush crushed by a full house on the turn. Did fight back to about 50k, but my mate ran into a 3 way all in with his 8s getting turned by 2 AKs

Played the bounty Friday night with no success

 

[dirty2]

Nice work Smoooothy 324k is great.

 

[dirty2]

This is actually a fear of mine!!

Playing the main tomorrow, and depending on other plans maybe the bounty too

Hey smoothy... There's a name I remember from Kapunda... lol

 

[Smoooothy]

Hey smoothy... There's a name I remember from Kapunda... lol

I saw the first name on the list and wondered if that was you lol

At least you didnt get paid out about your efforts in the main

Busted out of the teams AJ to 66 - but so many hands I was ready to pull the trigger on and I wimped out - its my one glaring weakness - the inability to gamble for a bigger stack

I always wait for the sunshine

Anyway sitting there and a friend wanted some birthday drinks so I dug deep again and bought into the turbo main just before cutoff and stacked up 200k in 10 minutes - then played conservatively until 5 minutes to go

The table had been limping mostly and we have a limp flop of Q45 and I have Q9 - UTG shoves and I have him covered 3-1

I have 2 choices call or fold - I was really hoping someone else would call ( the same 2 players Smoooothy had on his flight B table were there ) - up to me and I figure he has the Q - it was a matter of what does he have with it and am I good or can we chop. He didnt jam preflop so it took out a lot of hands I thought he had ie QK QJ etc maybe he limps QT or maybe he was hoping to get raised and jam then - either way I figure its a 50/50 race

Until he turns over QK and I lose 60k

Bagged 125k 4 minutes later

Yeah that's me.. I didn't have to look very hard to find where I was sitting

 

[dirty2]

Out 68th

 

[dirty2]

Jumped into the "little freeze"

Along with a 4

Smoooothy grats on ya $$

thanks a lot! was a rollercoaster of a day

about 20 mins in, wake up with AK, raise to 3.5BB, get one caller

flop 10 Q 9, check to me, put in 30k, insta call

turn J - nut straight made - guy bets 40k, i push all in for about 250k. he calls for about 200k and shows pocket 10s - vegas and the ****en mirage

river Q - crippled down to about 50k

the fightback began there, managed to grind my way back up to about 90k. managed to trap a double up with aces on a 33J board - guy hit AJ which doubled me up

just before the first break get dealt K7 in the BB, 3 limpers and i check. flop K4x, i min bet, guy behind the button min raises, i call. turn x, both check, river 7, i push all in - he tanks for a bit then calls. flip over my 2 pair and he goes ballistic - guy flopped 2 pair. that puts me on about 390k at the break

from there, i didn't get to play much, picked up some pots here and there

got moved when we got down to about 35 runners left - managed to get away from a JJ vs AA showdown which cost me 75k on a Axx flop.

on the bubble i got dealt KK which i shoved with and thankfully didn't get called by AQ. bubble broke a couple of hands later

couple hands after it broke, woke up with a10 spades, insta shove - straight into AQ, that held and i'm on my way home - went back to my hotel, packed up and drove back to melb and was in my own bed by 1am

$450 cash, happy with that for near 2 full days of poker

(good to meet you GreyCrow, sorry i didn't get a chance to chat dirty2)

[demon_fanatic]

sorry guys Ive asked this before but are there any leagues in Victoria that have dealers and sit n go tournaments? that aren't privately run games? thanks

 

[demon_fanatic]

I found this but details seem vague ?? unsure on numbers or if theres re buys etc.. at least it is kind of cheap if legit

 

[GreyCrow]

I'll be at the best of the best on the sunday

Mate won the Crazy P

 

[GreyCrow]

Decided to play the Bounty tomorrow night- unsure yet if I rebuy as its a jam fest of rich donks chasing 30/70 hands - I guess it depends what time I bust if I do

Saturday 234 then into the Teams event after defending my title

I reckon I will give Sunday a miss as I have no plans to play Main

Good luck to those who go and come and say hello

Unfortunately I'll be giving it all a miss.. just bad timing for me... With to many bills and shit.

Bounty game was a bit hit and miss

Missed an extra bounty or 2 but not for lack of trying

After 10.30 and I had 60kish after having a good start (40k start) and then a dead spot for an hour or so that chewed up some blinds

Blinds are 1500/3k and I am in the BB with 7J - shush

UTG throws his last 6k in and his bounty chip and the mood at the table is like feeding time

6 callers plus of course myself.

Flop is 9QT - nom nom nom someone bets 6k and I call with 3 dropping out

Turn is a 6 and SB bets 20k - I have my 50kish and I have a decision to make and yes one of those is to fold but I start considering a lot of things - 1 hr drive home in the rain , 3x pickup and what they might have - actually its only SB that concerns me because UTG is locked into what he has

I figured a set was the best they could have or a similar draw to me ie if they had AK they would have shoved in the SB to isolate plus its a draw still

Again I know its a very thin margin but I throw my blue chip in and we go to the river with 110k side pot plus UTG stack

UTG turns over QT and SB shows TT - ok Im somewhat alive any 8 or K and I scoop

Except its a Q to give UTG his stack and SB a FH and I put my jacket on for the rain

234 today
