27 left in $109+rebuys, at least $1061 now
:thumbup: Watching. Nice play.
Sweeeet. Finish em off! :ph34r: Hey Assani, wanna meet up for a beer or something at the Main Event? I'm ten players away from winning a seat to it.
sounds good. GL man.
It's a done deal. I knocked off the last short stack in the $650 ME qualifier. :excited: GL with the $109! :thumbup:
congrats!
 
1. Yes, I am begging for a call. I want to play many hands postflop when I am in position. This allows me to use my postflop skills most often to outplay opponents.

2. I think a set is completely out of the question the way he played it. Like I said I thought he would've check raised big on the flop with the diamond draw. Obviously I was wrong there. I thought my hand looked like a bluff, and I wanted to get paid off.

 
What's up with Ktheking he FTed the 109R earlier is down to 5 left in this one, Fted the $500 and he's at the las two tables on the Million. All in one night :popcorn:

1. Makes more sense to me if you're playing deep, but in a situation like this where your M is around 10-11, it doesn't seem like you'd have as much maneuverability. And while I don't doubt your postflop skills, we can likely agree that it's a smaller edge (with button) against noted tourney guys like Rizen and -db-, no?

Watching this. Unreal! Final table in million with chip lead. Chip lead with 5 left in the $109R.Something is fishy as hell. He just got aces on each table within 5 minutes of each other. Took out a guy with AK at one table... AQ on another. Seems awfully suspicious... Or just crazy coincidental.
I don't think poker has seen an evening of pwnage quit like this. FREE ACES!!!
 
$1500 WSOP event today! Woke up at 6:30 AM I was so excited!

Have played 2 days of $5/10/25 PLO live at the Rio, one once, lost once, up a bit overall but nothing huge. Considering moving up to $25/25/50.

I'm playing in the $1,500 NL Hold'em event in two weeks. Do you plan on playing that one as well?
 
I'm waiting for an update as well. By the looks of it, maybe we should have backed FastEddie? He's running the sho on day one of the $1500.

:yawn:

I'll pretty much play any $1500 or $2000 that I can drag myself out of bed by noon to play, so that probably means 50% of them or so.
 
Yesterday started off pretty slowly for me....At the first break(after 2 one hour levels) I was at 2700 after starting at 3000 and had won only one hand. In that hand there had been one limper at 50/100 from MP and I limped with QTos, blinds completed/checked. Flop came AT4 rainbow. Checked to me. I decided to check and fire the turn if it bricked and was checked to me again.

Turn was a Qs giving me two pair and putting a spade draw out there. SB led out for 175, BB folded, MP called, I made it 500, SB folded, MP called.

River was a total blank...something like a red 2. MP checks. Does anyone value bet here?

I thought that there was no way he had an ace with the way the flop/turn(and even preflop) played out. I was pretty sure he either had a draw or some pair+draw. Any way I could get paid off there? I decided the risk just wasn't worth it. I checked, he showed TJ and I took it.

At the first break, I was pretty resigned to not doing much this tourney, as it just didn't seem to be my day. But I went on a run as soon as the play resumed. I won the first hand with a weak ace out of the blinds when I check/called down on an ace-rag-rag board. I stole quite a few blinds. I tried to steal once more with TJs by raising to 500(blinds 100/200) and go reraised all in by a shortstack(1300). I called the 800 more hoping to have two live cards and I did as he had AKos. My TJs won.

I raised to 500 with AQos UTG, folded to the blinds who both called. Flop comes J82 with 2 spades, checked to me. I check. Turn is a Q of diamonds, putting a diamond draw out there with the spade draw. SB checks, BB bets 975, I call, SB folds.

River is a total blank(forget what it was exactly though)...just a low card that completed no draws. He checks, I make a pretty big value bet putting him nearly all in...I think 2000(he only had about 2500-3000). He called and later said he just had an 8 but never thought I had that strong of a hand. I was very happy with my betting there, but I failed to look at his stack size, otherwise I would've just put him all in....probably an "internet player" mistake, lol. Oh well, I was quickly up to over 10K, which was probably top 2 or 3% in chips.

I changed tables, and things were going smoothly until.....Cutoff raises to 600 at 100/200(25 ante) level. I have AKos in SB and reraise to 2600. BB pushes all in for about 6500 and cutoff folds. Now its 3900 to me with 9950 in the pot...I do the "let me pretend to think for a while" thing, but in reality this was as close to an insta-call there is imo getting over 2-1 with AK. You have to welcome a race here and if he happens to have AA/KK then oh well. Well he had KK, and no ace came.

I was down to just around 3000 at this time and it was push/fold time for me pretty much.

The last hand before the break I had 2375 left and picked up 99 in MP. With 525 in the pot preflop this was an easy push. LP big stack called. SB shortstack thought for a while before calling and leaving himself only 200 chips behind.

Flop came A45, SB checked, LP bet 200 to put SB all in. And heres the tough part for me: SB thought for literally over a minute. "You have to have an ace, I know it", he would say. I have absolutely no clue how he was even considering folding with over 7000 in the pot. The guy next to me was wondering the same thing out loud, and I fairly politely told him to shut up.

After what seemed like forever, as everyone else was pretty much out of the room on break now, he called and showed QQ. Of course LP just had 77.

Its not so much that my 99 ran into QQ, but just how close he came to making a horrendous mistake of folding there and giving me the pot. His QQ held and I was out.

My roomate Eddie is still alive though with 45K after day 1, so hopefully he'll have a deep run in him here. As for me, I went home and got a really long rest(12+ hours), as I've been playing a ton. I'm gonna play the Sunday online MTTs today. Tomorrow is PLHE, which I don't mind but usually doesn't attract as many poor players. The $1000+rebuys is Tuesday, which is probably too big for my bankroll, but I may play and just give myself $3000(one initial rebuy and one add on)....not sure yet. I think I'll definitely try to play the $2000 on Wednesday.

I've been playing $5/10/25 PLO and I think I'm going to move up to $25/25/50 perhaps even tomorrow.

I'd probably value bet this as some live tournament players (in my limited experience) call down very light. I think, and have seen, villians justify the call because the flush draw and some straight draws missed and sometimes they call small river bets on sheer curiousity.I am really surprised at how low your M at level 3, I assumed the WSOP events had better structures than this.
 
MTT strategy question:

We've played through the first break of a tournament and due to some up and down play by myself, I was still stuck at the original starting stack of about 3,000 chips.

Blinds are 200.400 with a 25-chip ante.

A player in MP with about 4,000 chips pushes allin.

I look down at 88 in the small blind.

Call or fold?

I would generally fold here. I would rather push all in with a low M than call off chips unless I have a super premium hand like AA-QQ or AK

Yeah had a really good session Friday Night, and I was up over $3000 in only maybe 2 or 3 hours. But then......After Eddie had left and I was going to leave shortly after, we were only 4 handed and it folded around to m SB. The girl in the BB only had $300 left and suggested that her and I just put the money in and run it out. I did it(and lost). Next time I was in the BB, the guy in the SB suggested we do something similar. We did(and I lost). At this point, we all decided that doing these flips was much more fun. So we started each putting $100 or so in and just running the cards out. This caught the attention of several people walking by. Long story short, we ended up with a full table doing flips for up to $1000 at a time. The rail grew and grew too as we did this. I ended up staying there til 0 in the morning, drinking and losing all of my winnings doing these flips...was definitely a good time though.

Holy crap! That's awesome--you're on your way to poker glory. They had to of contacted you before writing this article, right? How is your WSOP run coming along? You have a busy schedule of events on the horizon?

Unfortunately, I might not make it out to Vegas, and I most certainly won't be playing the Main Event, despite winning a qualifier. As I'm sure you can understand, how can any player comfortably drop $10,000 on a single tournament entry when that's half of their bankroll? I kinda wish Poker Stars forced qualifier winners to play in the event, rather than handing over $12,500 and saying "go do what you want with this".
