I tried to make the 2nd hand look as much as possible like the first in order to get paid off....no such luck. Thought for sure he'd think I was full of BS and reraise me. Oh well, still in good shape.

love having NAMDAC to my left btw...I've completed from the SB every time its been folded to me and hes never raised once. So much easier to play against opponents like that. As a whole, even though OPR lists a few of them as winning players, this seems like a very easy final table as nobody wants to be aggressive at all.

 
Meh, he had pushed a few times in a row since he had lost a big pot. Would've been an even easier call against someone else but with such a passive table I don't really need to take risks....maybe should've folded then considering that. Still I thought I was about even or slightly ahead of his range and obviously geting better than 1:1 with the blinds and antes in there.

close decision here. Raised such an amount that I could've folded if one of the bigger stacks in the blinds put in a 3rd raise..

Almost feel bad for the guy....he never raised me once from the BB until this hand and then I re-raise him...a questionable decision for sure, but I'm in it to win it!

Rarely ever play live tourneys anymore, last one was Venetian Deepstack event sometime in January I think. Obviously don't win a ton of them since I don't play them often. Play a ton online though. Played in the 2006 WSOP, cashed in two events, detailed them in this thread(look at first page for a table of contents if you want to find those posts). Didn't cash in the Main Event though. No difference from playing tourneys in Vegas imo compared to other places, although the only other place I can compare it to is A.C. Sounds like you're really set on taking a shot at it. Obviously going to take some luck, but just enjoy yourself and hope for the best.

out in 2nd, couldn't seem to hit anything once it got heads up....seriously, don't think I flopped one pair for like 10 hands in a row and he just slowly whittled me down. Oh well.

 
A few hands from Wynn $5/10 last night...

Hand of the Day #1

Villian in the hand is a bit unknown to me even though I've seen him around before. Basically that means that hes never done anything to really stand out- Has never been out of line enough to make an impression to me, has never made a huge bluff, has never played a hand ultra tricky. Overall an ok player I guess.

I have K7 in the SB. Villian limps in cutoff, button calls, I complete, BB checks.

Flop comes 7TQ rainbow, checked around.

Turn is another 7. I check, BB bets $30, cutoff min raises to $60, button folds, I raise to $220, BB folds, villian in cutoff pushes for $920 more. Your move.

What I did

I thought for a long while and called. He had A7 and won.

What I think I should've done

Based upon reads on him I didn't think he'd ever limp with TT or QQ when it was folded to him in the cutoff. With T7 I think he most definitely bets the flop there trying to get a queen to play back at him. And even with Q7 I think he has to bet it since there are two straight draws out there(not to mention that his hand is vulnerable to a player catching a higher two pair with a hand like QK or QJ....and not to mention that it'd be a bit unlikely for him to be playing Q7 anyway, although I could see him playing it if it were suited in LP). So while I think theres maybe a 3-5% chance that he has a full house on the turn, I think its much more likely that he does not. I think his range is most likely A7, 78, 67, 79 and maybe a few other one or two gappers. I don't think theres much chance at all that hes bluffing or semi bluffing here. I'm getting over 1.5-1 on my call here. Meh, I don't hate the call but I could understand folding it and waiting for a better spot too.

Hand of the Day #2

Villian in the hand is Pat. I've played a few hands before, plus my good buddy Eddie has recently written up a few hands about him in HIS BLOG. Pat has about $17,000 and I have him covered, and Pat is very capable of putting a lot of money into play.

Pat raises to $30 in EP and he had been making that raise frequently. I had AA in MP and raised to $130, everyone else folds to Pat who calls.

Flop comes 337 with 2 clubs(I have Ac). Pat checks, I bet $190, Pat calls.

Turn is a non-club 4. Pat checks, I bet $500. Pat raises to $2000. Your move and whats your plan for the river.

What I did

I called. River was a K non-club. Pat checked, I thought for a while and checked. Pat said "I have nothing", I showed and won.

What I think I should've done

The king may have actually saved me from a big river bluff from Pat(him thinking I may have KK). I thought he may have actually had KK or QQ, so I wasn't sure what to make of the river either. Obviously a flopped set or 34s/23s is what I'm scared of on the flop. We're deep enough and he has enough gamble that he could've called with the gutshot 56 or even with 44 thinking that he may be ahead on the flop with his pocket pair. Reading Eddie's blog recently probably helped me a bit, as Pat has been doing this often lately and my call was solely read dependant here.

Hand of the Day #3

Villian is a shortstack who has been quiet for the entire night, and I had never played with him before.

Pat raises to $30 in EP again, I decide to flat call with AKos in MP. LP calls, villian calls in BB.

Flop comes KJ6 all clubs(I do not have the Ac). Pat checks, I bet $90, LP folds, villian in BB calls, Pat folds.

Turn is a total rag non-club. Villian goes all in for exactly $400. Your move.

What I did

I called. Villian showed 4T of clubs for the flopped flush.

What I think I should've done

Obviously I'm wishing I had reraised preflop now to get 4Ts out of the hand. Moreover, while I usually don't hate the flat call with AK, against Pat who had been raising with such a wide range I think it was a big mistake to not 3 bet there.

As for the postflop play though, I think its a bit standard. I was actually going to put him all in if he had checked to get any club draw out(or give bad odds if he did call). I guess I could've folded to his push, but I usually don't give a great deal of respect to shortstacks, and he easily could've had a worse king or a draw.

 
ugh. hand 1 seems like absolute spewage. bottom pair unless i'm reading this wrong. pick a better spot.

assani:

You're reading it wrong.I play about 85% online, 15% live. Tournaments online are by far my biggest money maker.

Reading comprehension has never been one of my strong suits. And, of course, I'm an editor. Yeah, I'm calling in that situation then too.
