A7s first hand when TOM JR reraised, KJs 2nd hand with a reraise and a 3rd raise.

This doesn't seem like a very good play by him.

hes absolutely horrible(not just that play either) but his OPR stats are exceptional...have no clue what to make of it to be honest.

Is he the kind of player whose constant aggression makes people play too tightly against him? That tends to work well for some people.

Eh, I dunno....since he doubled up with that AK hand(when I had KJs) hes been pretty aggressive on the final table bubble, but before that he wasn't that aggressive. Could just have run well....710 tourneys is a decent sample size but nothing huge really.

lol, very first hand. I hate this spot because I'm not going to fold to a reraise here so I might as well just push. Ugh...

I agree about not folding, but AQ might be better played as a limping hand from EP. The pot was only 9000, and limping from UTG+1 is a scary enough move that people will often limp behind you. If you see a flop cheap, bet out on any flop unless it's multiway. If you get raised, be willing to reraise all in. If someone shoves over the top of you, use their stack size to decide if you want to race. It just seems like a -EV proposal to shove with a hand that will only get called when it's beat.

I'd guess a semi bluff. He could have two diamonds, they could actually be 3,5 of diamonds. He only called the pot, so he didn't have anything too strong to start.The other obvious option is a low pair and he hit his 3 of a kind. I don't feel it was an outright bluff and feel confident you were behind going into that last card and actually could have been drawing dead if indeed he had a 3, 5 anyway.

I agree, you're only going to get called my someone else with a monster hand in this situation. Besides the two hearts and the flush possibility, I think heading into the flop by whomever does call whether it be ace king or some pocket pair, at best you're going to be near a .50/.50 situation.I mean, if I'm ace jack, do I call that initial raise? Maybe some would, but probably not. So, who would you really be a big favorite against who would call?

Won another $6K playing $5/10 PLO at SWPC(Steve Wynn's Poker Club, which is what it will be referred to as from here on out) tonight. Biggest hand was a 3 way all in in which I had top 2 pair on the flop and dodged a boatload of outs to take it down.

I don't mind limping with it, and you raise some good points. However, I very much disagree with the bolded part- Many times late in a tourney, you'll shove with hands that will almost certainl be underdogs if you're called and its a +EV move.

But most of those times are when you have a slightly shorter stack relative to the blinds + antes, or you have fewer people left to act after you.

[bostonfred]

Then did you consider folding to the all-in?

Not to answer for him, but 18k into a 35k pot, isolated against a small stack, when you have over 80k at the start of the hand, is worth calling unless you have a very tight read on the all-in player. It'd be a lot harder if assani would have been all in or crippled if he lost.

I'm so lucky. I totally read him for AK with his extra large bet, but for whatever reason I just didn't lay it down.

do you have a blog like eddie? i'd really be interested to see a detailed report of your play. i appreciate everything you post here as it really helps everyone's game, but you seem to be ITM a hell of a lot and i think you've said you don't run quite as well as it appears in here.

keep up the good work.

Went to the Wynn last night. Despite 3 others on the list of interest, we couldn't get PLO going so I sat in $5/10 NLHE. Interesting hand right away:

We're 4 handed. Villian is fairly tight and solid. Will play aggressively in position and knows what hes doing. Not sure if hes good enough to beat the game longterm or not though.

I'm in BB with AKos. UTG raises to $40, villian calls on button, I raise to $180. UTG calls, villian insta-pushes for $1180 more. UTG has about $700 remaining, so he'd be all in if he called already. Your move.

I called. He had QQ. His hand held up.(UTG folded btw)

So I was down a bunch quickly, but I worked my way back up to only being down $300. Then my buddy got a $5/5 PLO game started and I quickly won $2500(seriously in about 30 minutes) before the game broke as it was only 4 handed and I had busted two of them. I'm running great at live PLO lately($16K or so in my last 3 sessions).

Curiosity... In Eddie's thread, he had an eerily similar hand play out holding KK, folded to the big push, and you're comment there was good fold, likely AA or KK. Why push with AKo here?

That's what I was coming in here to say. The range is AA-QQ, and QQ isn't always played this way.

That hand was not similar imo. In Eddie's hand a guy limped UTG in a full ring game, there were then 2 raises after him and he put in a third raise which was reasonable given the pot size.In my hand, a guy flatted on the button in a 4 handed game then came over the top when an aggressive player(me) had made a reraise which was a huge overbet.In the first case, I was 95+% certain he had AA. Here I thought JJ/QQ/AK were the most likely while KK/AA were possible but not too likely.

Its 4 handed. The range is JJ-AA and AK imo with AA and KK being by far the least likely of those(simply due to the number of cards left in the deck). I was getting over 1.4-1 on the call too.

Went to the Wynn last night. Despite 3 others on the list of interest, we couldn't get PLO going so I sat in $5/10 NLHE. Interesting hand right away:We're 4 handed. Villian is fairly tight and solid. Will play aggressively in position and knows what hes doing. Not sure if hes good enough to beat the game longterm or not though. I'm in BB with AKos. UTG raises to $40, villian calls on button, I raise to $180. UTG calls, villian insta-pushes for $1180 more. UTG has about $700 remaining, so he'd be all in if he called already. Your move.I called. He had QQ. His hand held up.(UTG folded btw)So I was down a bunch quickly, but I worked my way back up to only being down $300. Then my buddy got a $5/5 PLO game started and I quickly won $2500(seriously in about 30 minutes) before the game broke as it was only 4 handed and I had busted two of them. I'm running great at live PLO lately($16K or so in my last 3 sessions).

Curiosity... In Eddie's thread, he had an eerily similar hand play out holding KK, folded to the big push, and you're comment there was good fold, likely AA or KK. Why push with AKo here?

That hand was not similar imo. In Eddie's hand a guy limped UTG in a full ring game, there were then 2 raises after him and he put in a third raise which was reasonable given the pot size.In my hand, a guy flatted on the button in a 4 handed game then came over the top when an aggressive player(me) had made a reraise which was a huge overbet.In the first case, I was 95+% certain he had AA. Here I thought JJ/QQ/AK were the most likely while KK/AA were possible but not too likely.

Thanks for the explanation. I'm fairly new and using these blogs to learn to play better poker.

Pokerstars has a policy to never let you change your username or avatar(actually can change your avatar once, but then never again). In the past I've tried to give them BS excuses for changing my username(I want "Assani Fisher") such as 'it reminds me of an ex-girlfriend' or "It was my dog's name and he passed away" but they never bit. Today I tried to get my avatar changed by claiming "it gives me bad dreams at night" and it worked! So as soon as my new avatar is approved, I should have a new one up! Now to get my username changed.....

Your new avatar better have something to do with icy pots still.

Still having problems getting any PLO action at the Wynn and Bellagio will only spread $25/50 and higher. Can't wait for WSOP time. Had a tough session at $10/20 NLHE at the Wynn, but I felt as if I played pretty well. One interesting hand:

Folded to me on button and I raise to $80 with K9. Pat calls out of SB. Reread some previous posts in here on in Eddie's blog for details on Pat.

Flop comes 996 with 2 spades. Pat leads out for $160, I raise to $480, Pat reraises to $1280. Ok, interesting spot. We're deep though and I call.

Turn is an ace non spade. Pat goes all in for $10,000.

Such a weird spot only because of my history with Pat. I ended up folding and he said he had 66, so I guess it was a good fold. I do think 78 of spades or ace high flush draw were slight possibilities though.
