Session 21

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

Going for a Turbo SG. First hand AK. A raise before me to 100, and two call after. 73Q flop, try to bluff the pot, did not work. Two went all-in with flush draw and three of a kind (QQ)… Second time now in a short period I’m up against trip Queens on flop. Down to 1k in first hand.

Going to need some patient now. Looking for a pocket pair or AK to go all-in with.

Hmm, ok 98 suited go for a call… someone raise to 260 after me. I fold, he had A8 suited. So bad…

The same guy (prajanek) above goes all-in against to two other players already commited their chips with JK vs 99 and JJ. Of course he wins, now he has 5k. So bad.

Maybe we can exploit his bad calls with a well played all-in. Should either slow play him or go all-in preflop. Never the less, I need the cards to play with and some luck.

Raise with QK suited in late position, two players comes along. Flop: AK2. A raise, I fold… Damn A.

Prajanek hits a straight on river.

All-in as SB with A8. Blinds at 50/100, one caller before me. Both folds. Chip count 900

AK, raise to 300. Everyone folds.

Hand after, AA. Slow play, 100 only bb check. flop 66Q. Pot size bet 250. BB folds… Maybe pushed to hard there, only a BB player. Chip count 1200.

All-in won against Prajanek! Played him exactly as I should, letting him do the betting. Called a raise with 7Q.  Flop 372. Perfect! Now I have him, I check, and a raise from him. I go all-in with not much left. And won, he had something like JK. Chip count  2500.

Another all-in won! Chip count 4k. Going great now.

Fast paced game. Hard to log at the same time.

Prajanek going broke now. All-in A6 vs 1010 preflop.

Blinds at 200/400, five players left. Chip count 3,3K

Prajanek again, all-in with 710 vs JJ vs A2 (small stack). JJ won and I earned the money!

Pretty even field.

Ok, two left. 2,5K vs 12,5K…

Lol I won! That was a great one. First busted him with a pair of Aces I think on the flop, I check and he bluffed with 800. I went all-in with like only 1,5K left. He called and we where nearly even. After that I got KK, and slow played him. Well, he hit two pair on the flop QJ but I got a pair on the board (river). Lucky one, but as usual you need that to win a tournament.

Summary: Very happy with this one. Really liked my play against Prajanek, saw from the beginning his lose play. Taking the chance against him really paid of, and that made my tournament. A very fast one with much action.

Session 20

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

Modifying my strategy slightly, going to play more hands out of position at the beginning. 1-3 places from small blinds and no one has raised, I will call with any hand. Only playing two pairs and better on flop.

Slow start. Not much action. Sticking to my strategy, but no good flops. Someone is rasing all the time, apparently with nothing as he just got called all-in with 85. Ofcourse he won that with a pair of 8s against A10.

8 players left. Blinds at 50/100, chipcount 1500 exactly. All-in same person as above again, against the same opponent. But this time he didnt win with his KQ against 77. All in again from him with QJ against K10, he won. His chipcount is now 4300.

Yes! All-in won against that guy. Knew I had him with a quite weak A9. Raised to  400 in with only him and SB and BB left. He raised to 1200 so I went all-in, taking the chance. He had KQ, I hit the A and won. Chipcount 2400.

The same guy, derrenfr, is going all-in or raising all the time.

Ok, 6 players left. Blinds at 150/300. Chipcount 2750. People are playing rather aggresive now, with their small stacks. Not a good time for playing weak hands.

5 left, pretty even between 4 of them at around 2300. Big stack at 5780. Catching some really bad hands…

AJ, raised to 600. Big stack calls, low flop so I betted 50% of the stack and he folds.

4 players left. One of us have only 560 left now.

Lol, the all-in guy derrenfr wins with A9 against AQ. Now he has 7500. Chipcount 2600.

Yeah! Knocked the fourth guy out from big blind with my J6s vs K4.

Ok, now the pace goes up. The game ends in 5min, so my logging lags behind some. This was what happend:

Pushed all-in with AJ after raise pre-flop and a 1200 bet on flop from derrenfr. As I’ve hit the A I went all-in and he folded. His aggresive play is very easy to read, slow play this guy will not be hard. Chipcount 5k.

Slow played JJ, he calls all-in on flop after a big bet from him. Think he had I inside straight draw or something. Chipcount 10k!

Raised with A6, won hitting the A on turn. Chipcount 12k

Won heads-up! First hand he goes all-in with 9J, I call with 99.

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 a pair of Jacks with KJ and a K shows up (river). 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 feel 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!

Two first places out of two

May 16th, 2009 BetmoPoker No comments

Played two Sit & Go $20 tournaments today and won both! $100 in price money in total. Had some crazy cards and hit a ROYAL STRAIGHT FLUSH in one of the tournaments (first one in years). The last tournament had a really mixed field with fast knock-outs in the beginning, 4 players went in the first 10 min (full game 1,15 h long). When we where like five left I knocked two people out with a three of a kind I slow played. Both went all-in, one with a crap pair and another with a high pocket (I think). Slowplay cards is the shit :)

After that I was really in command and never lost it, had always more then half the stack. The heads up was over pretty fast, the other players was a tight player which didn’t like my aggressive bets :) .  Anyway, with the cards I was dealt this was good win as I played well obviously.
