Session 17

July 2nd, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG $20, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Starts excellent. Won 2 out of three hands. First one, JK preflop (raised to 40), hit J high. Betted the other out on turn (80 on flop and 300 on turn). The other hand, 77 preflop. Did not raise. The board shows 927, one guy raise 200 and I re-raised after that. Another guy after us calls probably with a flush draw. Turn shows a 4. I thought he had two pair, really nothing can beat me here. So I go all-in to knock out flush-draw. One folds (the caller) but the other one calls (he who started to raise). He shows a straight draw, 810. But the last cards shows Q and I win. Chipcount 3690. Great start!

Crap. Lost like 1600 on the river. Had KJ and a K shows up. Rasied alot but he had AK… Chipcount 2700.

Well, at least am above average chipcount. Playing safe now.

Won all-in against small stack (big blind), me small blind. 50/100 marks. He had like 800 left. Had AJ so I raised and he went all-in with 9K. We both hit, he K and I A. Chipcount 3960. Back on old track :) 5 players left

Going great. Stealing blinds, playing safe with great results. The other players have respect for me I think. Got good cards, and the flops like me. Chipcount 6700. I must win this! 4 players left. 100/200

3 players left. 100/200

Lost 1700.

Won an all-in! Chipcount over 10000. My AK against 77. Heads-up now.

Wtf, lost all-in with my AJ against his KJ. Chipcount 9000.

He bluffs, I call. Chipcount 11k.

Shit cards, and he plays quite good. Raises alot, putting pressure. Chipcount9k

I Call a raise to 600. With Q4 suited. 345 shows up. He bets 900, but I can fell the bluff here as he raised pre-flop and a very low flop shows up. He can have A2, but I have to take the chance so I go all-in. He calls. He has nothing, A9. K and 7 shows up, and I won! 1st place.

Summary: I very good seesion. Got some luck with the cards dealt, but overall I wasn’t that lucky after the game have started. Won with the odds against me one time with the cards shown. Lost another with great odds in favor (AJ vs KJ). Held out well heads-up against a good player despite the cards being dealt. Started with 10k, had 9k when we went all-in in the end. So it was pretty even. So, a great session!

Session 16

June 23rd, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG $20, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Think am into a really bad circle right now… lost like $80 in SG in two days, 4 lost games in a row. Pretty quick ones too. The last one was funny, first hand, got AK, we both went all-in preflop after a raise from me. He got 85 and got a full house, while I got nothing.

Anyway, new session. New “trying to” safe play day.

Went out quickly again. Got AQ, hit the A but someone else got a straight on the flop wiht KQ. Played crappy again.

Session 16 - A new try.

Playing safe as hell. No action here… Chipcount 1340. 9 players left, blinds at 30/60.

Great won a hand :) Pushed all-in with two pair against flush draw on turn. Chipcount 1600

Lol, lost them on some crappy hand. Chipcount 1380.

A little better, Chipcount 1480. Blinds at 100/200, 7 left. Haven’t had many cards to play with. High blinds now, really have to pick my fights now.

Only 6 players left.

Won to fast hands with good cards. Chipcount 2080.

Won a small all-in with A2, hit a 2 :). Chipcount 2860.

Damn, slow played 1010 against a tight player (229 showed up, check on flop, on turn he betted and I re-raised, he folded). Chipcount 3760. Went from 1500 in like 10min!

Got AA, really nice cards right now! Just calls, with two others. But three clubs shows up,  one bets 400. I went all-in as they where all low cards. Low chance of a flush… The other guy folded. Chipcount 4810.

Lol wtf. KK. But I ran into a full house. So unlucky, but on the other hand I should have tested him when two Q:s showed up on the flop. Chipcount 2260. Well, am not out at least.

Got AK as big blind. But noone even went along. 5 players left, 200/400.

4 players left, 200/400. Chipcount 1460.

Got some blinds, Chipcount 2060.

What a crap again… I just knew it. 4 players left, as big blind hit a J with 2 as a kicker. We both went all-in but he had J10… Never play with crappy cards.

Session 15

June 22nd, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG $20, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Starting up with calling with alot of flush/straight hands. No luck. Seems to be a quite table, not much betting.

Well, my luck has run out. Raised with 88 preflop, got the trips, and a “JonnyQCash” went all-in with me after I raised and he went all-in first (think it was that way).

bad-beat-flush

200 left, but then I won an all-in against two guys with a straight right after that. Chipcount 600.

Stayed in the game for some time, but went out with a 33 all-in. Under that time somekind of fight did occour. After that sick beat (like 5% chance) I wrote “wtf” in the chat, this was the respons:

JonnyQCash:
you play 80 perent of your hands.. i cant credit you with trips

perjalop:
What kind of all-in was that?

Okey, maybe a bit over the line, but I was upset over the bad beat. But haha, what a answer I got:

JonnyQCash:
well it was a drawing board.. i had draws and top pair

Look at the board above, he thought he had a draw (flush) and high pair, which he didn’t! And it goes on:

JonnyQCash:
a t w a t like you could do that moce with AK

HerrMathew:
backdoor flush. lol

JonnyQCash:
fluch and straight and top pair.. and your

JonnyQCash:
still on 70 percent of your hands

JonnyQCash:
mate top pair.. and you play so much i wasnt even playing the board i was playing you

And it goes on… Why I played alot is explained at the top.

Session 14

June 21st, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

Played like four sessions without logging. As usual: SG $20, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Won a quite bad all-in. Rasied preflop with AA, the flop came up low as the screenshots shows. I bet I couple of hundreds, the other guy goes all-in… Wtf, this is not good. Either he has a straight, three of a kind or two pair. He had a three of a kind… But I called anyway. Not good, should have folded. But I won anyway on luck.bad-all-in-aa-poker

Same bad call. KQ against AQ preflop. Always have the A when you go call all-in like that. Luck again for me :) Chipcount 2900.

all-in-qk-against-aj

Won another all-in with my A6 against his KQ. The all-in came after the flop, he had a straight draw and I a flush draw. No one hit either of it but a pair showed up. Chipcount 3690.

Now it’s safe play, nothing else! I have a good chance here, as am the big stack right now with 5 players left.

Going down… Chipcount 2990. The guys are calling and raising everything. Not a good time to play safe… I better just call with very good cards. I thought a little blind stealing would do. But that didnt work.

Okey, I earned the money. Three left, am at 3,4k, the two other: 6,2k and 5k (or something like that, hard to count when they are betting).

Going forward, Chipcount 4,2k.

Only two left. my 4,3K against his 10,7K

Won wih a two pair, 5k now. Was down to 2,5k, after catching some bad hands.

We are even now 7,5k each.

Again catching bad hands after bad hands… Impossible to play. Went all in with 5k with J9 offsuit. So damn bad, he had A9… I lost.

Summary: Finished second after some lucky hands. Could have won, but catching some bad cards in the end isnt the best time. Maybe I could have waited a little longer there… Played very good from the 5th person went out until the last. There the focus went out for a moment.

Summary

June 14th, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

Played like four sessions without logging. As usual: SG, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

No pay-out in two, second place: 1 third place: 1.

Played kind of bad in some of these games, but had some really luck too. When I finished in third place I had more then half the stack then there where only three players left but lost everything. Really bad play, but now I know that you should play safe until the end :). The second place session was a good one yestoday. Lost with AA against a two pair, K8 I think he had. So that was just unlucky.

Session 13

June 2nd, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Haven’t played for a while, first board in a week or two. But I have more free time soon atleast :)

Start out with a KK, hit a trip on the flop. But the other guy folded to a low bet, only won a pot of 250.

Hit a A with A3, the other guy had A9… Never call with a kicker like that. Should know. Chipcount: 1240

The blinds went up and I went all-in with JQ suited against a guy how raised three times in a row. He had A9, and quite crappy had but better then mine. Always have the A when you move all-in… I lost that one of couse.

Summary: Not concentrated enough. No patience.

Session 12

May 25th, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Played a session without logging, and won it! Pure luck. At least two all-ins was with the odds against me, the call was quite bad if you ask me. Was down to 500 but won two fast all-ins. After that I played a little faster. The two last guys was really aggresive and I had some trouble, one of them had 10k after knocking out the other one. But I played only with good cards and pressing back. He called me twice with crap cards an I won both.

Summary: Had some luck, but overall good varied play.

Session 11

May 24th, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

After two bad session without payout, here’s another one. I will not change my way of playing, I think I just didnt have the luck before. Keep the discipline and it will work.

Lost like 600 to a crappy flush… Again! The third spade showed up on the river. I bet 400 on the turn having highest pair on the board. I really need to knock these idiot players out before they always get their flush. But I mean, how risk most of his stack on a flush draw… wtf. Chipcount 750.

Won 1100 on an all-in, with my A4 against 108.

Great, won 2400 with A9. Hit my A on the turn. Chipcount 2820.

Quite passive players… Don’t raise alot.

Won 800 with JJ. Getting some cards now. Chipcount 1700, 50/100 blinds

Won 2500 an all-in! My A10 against KK. Had some really bad thoughts about his cards but I went all-in anyway as I already rasied once. Hit a flush… Really lucky. Getting some flush-luck back now :) Chipcount 3120.

Four players left. 100/200 blinds. Even stacks.

Lost big with a middle pair… Crap. Don’t want to go just before Pay-out. Chipcount 1770

Another win, 2550 pot. Called with Q3 and hit my Q, but he went along and even raised my 300 bet. On river an A came up and I went all-in, bluffing I had it. He was big blind and didnt raise pre-flop so I guessed he didnt have it. Chipcount 3870

Wordpress deleted half my log, so much action is gone. Anyway went out on a third place after a unbelievable unlucky river. I had QJ on hand and hit both, another guy had the high pair K. We both went all in… but on river he hit a pair of 6:s… And out I went.

Summary: Ok, session. Finally had some cards to play with and had a good chance of winning this. But as always, you need luck to with SG. Got messed up in on some hands, betting to much with nothing. I should be more careful with that.

Results right now, 11 games:
Won: 3
Second place: 2
Third place: 3
No payout: 3
Price money: $540

Session 10

May 22nd, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

Okey, we try a new one directly after the last bad one. Copy & paste strategy:
“As usual, the strategy is to play few hands and play safe with aggresive play from time to time (maybe 1-5 hands until the heads-up).”

Just avioded a real trap. Folded 66 when three diamonds showed up on flop (not going the mistake as the last round!). But now two more 3:s showed up, which would have given me a full house… Would probably have been all-in at that point. A guy with pocket jacks won that hand… Chip count: 1070.

Need some good hands now. Blind at 20/40 and 7 players left.

Chip count: 920. Don’t catch any good cards… Haven’t played much, still am down below 1k and now the blinds is at 50/100.

Down to 870. Gets nothing to play with… 5 players left. 100/200 blinds. Need some cards now!

The big stack is a really weak player. Calls with crap hands and don’t see that players auto folds on bets (afk).

Lol some luck at last. Had to go all-in (with 400) with 78 against A8. Won with a pair of 7:s.

All-in again with 77. The other players had A5 but hit his A. Bad luck. Was the opposite the last hand on the other hand…

Summary: Dont know what I did wrong here. Had nada goods cards that could be played at the time. Hit nothing on the flops when I called or raised.

Session 9

May 22nd, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

SG, 10 seats 15000 chips in total. Starting chipcount: 1500.

As usual, the strategy is to play few hands and play safe with aggresive play from time to time (maybe 1-5 hands until the heads-up). Let’s see how this goes, have I really been that lucky the last sessions?

Quite some action here. Only 7 players left, blinds at 20/40.

Lol, did the worst bluff on the earth. Not going to mention it further… But I atleast had a flush draw all the time after flop. Never try to bluff the chipleader… Chipcount 810.

Really need to play safe now. Played so bad last hand… Catch good cards and be ready for a all-in.

Puh, raised with 77 and another player went along. Two overcards on the flop… He checked and I went all in. Lots of things could have gone wrong there. Chipcount 1080.

Won to fast hands after flop with A10 and AK. Hit my king on the second hand, but three clubs was in the bord too and I didnt have one of that. Chipcount 1410.

Wtf… Had a straight and probably got a straight on river. Four heart showed up on the board again (the last one on the river after my straight). Chipcount 1010.

Won an all-in!! Had KJ pre-flop, just went along on blinds at 100/200 (the big blind was going to me very soon…). Hit high card Jack, big stack bet first 200 and I went all-in. He called, showed only A2. He had a inside straight draw on  the river but missed. Chipcount 2050. Back on track.

The blinds are quite high 100/200. And with my stack this means no mistakes. Just got my blinds robbed but the big stack, an aggresive player. Let’s take advantage of that with some slow play maybe? Still 7 players left.

Down to 1100 after losing blind chips on crap cards…

Am out on 5 place… Went all in with AQ against big stack who I knew was aggressive and calling alot. He showed K4 and hit a full house… What the heck.

Summary: Insane luck he had on the last hand. But overall this was a bad played session. The bad bluff in the beginning and the straight calling with a flush warning on the table really did it. You can recover from one mistake, but not from two. Add some unluck and your out.
