After having luck desert me for 3 weeks, I've had a couple of good beats this week at the start of tournies. 2 days ago first hand was KK and got to call an allin with it. About 3 hands later it's AA and scored another person pushing allin I could call.

Yesterday in the first few hands I got QQ and pushed allin myself. AA called, but I rivered a Q.

Going for 5 out of 5 cashes today in 10.00am. Although still haven't had a top 3 finish in more than a month I think.

14th, had a good stack for top 10

flop 358 offsuit, holding A8, ruffles bets 1K, I call. Turn is K. He was holding KJ

[Optional]

I hardly saw paint today. 23rd. Oh well.

[yisman]

A9 rivered by bigblue's QJ off. Pretty standard. He just about always hits his rivers.

[freelife1]

i flopped a full house and shoved...

he called with a set and WHAT HAPPENS???THE TURN IS A QUEEN AND HE MAKES QUADS.
Not to mention there was 14 people left and we were both placed in the top 5 chip lead...

thats poker folks

[yisman]

blinds 50/100, late position, KQ, everyone folds, I raise to 400. Blacke all ins with 650.

He has Q3 and gets two threes on the flop.

[yisman]

well, that was frustrating. Had KJ, my J hit, but it made someone else's straight. Made me very short stacked. A few hands later, blinds 150/300, I all in with KJ off, 375 chips. Called by MoneyLineDawg's 26 off. Straight hits for him on the river.

[Optional]

Better than me, I've registered then forgotten to play Friday and today.

[yisman]

ouch, I've done that a few times with live blackjack tournaments (which I've had brutal luck in for the past two months, amazing), but not with poker, because I register and then just leave it open, so the table pops up when the tournament begins. Since they haven't allowed early registration, it's not long to leave the program open. Plus I often wait to register until just before it starts.

with blackjack you have to register, then remember when it starts in order to join the table. You get DQed after a few minutes if you don't manually join the table.

[Optional]

I think I expected it to pop up both of those days too. But it either didn't or I happened to click something at exactly the wrong moment.

Played in two poker tournaments today.

JJ, big raise preflop, guy calls. Flop comes JQ some other card. I bet again. He calls. Turn 9 river Queen, wind up all in with a huge stack.

Turns out the other guy had Q9. Unbelievable hand. That he kept calling and rivered me when I had a sick hand

I thought maybe a straight, but when the river gave me a boat, I figured I had nothing to be afraid of


Then the other tournament.

Q10, flop comes Q4Q. I re-raise, then wind up all-in when someone re-raises me. Other dude has Q8. Turn clean, 8 on river.

finish outside the money twice with crazy hands.

[yisman]

Doing better in the SBR tourney though.

AJ hearts vs. jack matz's all in KK. Flop had an A and a K. Rivered a straight to beat his trips, brutal beat jack.

[yisman]

dealt AA, rod went all in preflop after I raised, I called. He had KK. He caught a king on the river. trips over aces.


37/43

[Hurls]

the run studmlb55 is on right now defies the laws of math, good for him but how come that doesnt happen more split up, hmmmmmm

[Hurls]

count em 9 catches for trips the he should have never stayed in with 48 cathes the third 4 stud my ass rigged morel like it, im calling shannagans, ballyhoo, tom foolery

[Optional]

Just won my first tourney of 2012.

Hardly saw a great hand either. Didn't see bullets or cowboys once. Had one AKs and folded it to two earlier allins.

Final hand he pushed with QJ and I called with QQ, which was the best hand I got to play all day!

Anyway, pleased to have broken the bagel, after 6 months of trying.

[wtt0315]

this week 9-5 flop comes 9-5-3 i all in he calls he has pocket 9's
next day i get 7-8 flop comes a 7-8 3 all in he calls he has pocket 8s
today i get AA and raise 350 get 2 callers. Flop comes 3-5-7 I all in get called with A-7 turn card is another 7

Oh sbr poker

[wtt0315]

played live poker for 2 hours tonight at the poker room. I was very sad went for 5 gut shot straights and never got 1.. Couldnt understand why not since I get them all the time here

[yisman]

31/41 tonight

A4, Carseller has QK.

Flop comes Q, low card, ace

I all in, he calls. Flop clean, river King.

Want to make top 50 somehow

[yisman]

my sbr poker claims it saves the hands to a specific location, but when I go to the folder it isn't there.

Anyway, chip leader in 9 PM, over 14K chips, KJ, J and two low cards on flop. I bet roughly the pot. footballtime calls, bet pot again on turn, he again calls.

He has J10 and the river is a 10. I dropped about 11K chips so much for that high finish

[yisman]

Lost 827 today playing poker

AJ running into JJ, QQ running into KK, getting outkicked two hands in a row by a slowplaying garydn, and then the kicker:

over 2k chips in 5 PM, I raise big with 99, mosesmillsap allins. I'm pot committed. He flips 22 and then flops a 2.

reraising allin with 22.

[yisman]

tonight's 5K guaranteed at DSI (5.5 buyin).


Had it going well, up over 2k chips

dealt KK, blinds 50/100.

Guy raises to 200. I re-raise to 600 (late position). bb calls for the other 500. The initial raiser folds.

Flop 567 offsuit. I bet, other guy all-ins. I call. He flips 34

Seriously.

You can re-enter, but after that hand, I wasn't interested.

[Optional]

Convinced me to open the Bookmaker poker client reading your story. Joined a tourney. First hand dealt KK, thought why not and pushed. Called by A9 suited. He gets the flush.

[yisman]

this one was jake's fault. he told me about the Sunday night tournament.

DSI heavily advertises a tournament with a 215 buyin and a 50k guaranteed prize pool (popup every time you log in to BKR or DSI during Sunday afternoon/night), but they also have one has a 5.5 buyin and pays out 5K guaranteed. That's what I played in. Still can't get over that hand. So many donkeys there. Calling KK with 34 (with only 1/6 in and another guy behind him that could call/re-raise) and then hitting the straight on the flop?

[Optional]

Ended up playing a few tourneys.

Not sure why people think bad beats only happen at SBR... Geebus it felt like that place was rigged against me. Played this unlimted rebuy one and spent about 10 bucks at 50c a rebuy just trying to see a winning showdown. LOL

[yisman]

sent you 100 more if you can bet Trumbo for me. Under exotics it has HR Derby props. Trumbo +600.

done

Just got knocked out of 3pm in 4th with same hands. KK called with A9 and he flops the ace.

[beerman2619]

Rolling over points after winning in tourneys basically sucks. Its amazing how many people call with nothing and catch something on the river. Old Robbie Wrath did that to me today. Had ace 9 flop came 4 9 10 he raises it to 6 i go all in with 30 he calls with Jack King. Catches a jack on the river buckin donk boy.

[yisman]

many of the people at the ring tables are very reckless. They won't want to spend time rolling it I guess so some shove/call with almost nothing.

[yisman]

Yep, the river.

[yisman]

725 chips left, dealt AQ as bb, all in.

AQ lost to 77 and bubbled me in 21st. Jakepeavy catches all the breaks. He hung on to finish 20th!

Horrible poker week.

A minute later, we're down to 17. Bunch of people all-ined after I lost I guess.

[Optional]

Snap. 21st today too.

Started out well though.

Had AA against Stuler with 99

Flop comes AA9

We both checked it out then I went allin for 1800, he called.

[yisman]

yeah, gotta call that
