Biggest winning and losing hands for the month...
So, I just thought of an interesting idea for a thread that I think could be beneficial for everyone.
At the end of a lot of my sessions, I review my biggest winning and losing hands in Poker Tracker and analyze my play (I love the "Playback This Hand" thing). Well, I say that I do this, but I will admit that I don't do it as much as I should. I think this is a GREAT practice though, and I highly encourage you guys to start doing it if you aren't doing it already. As you are looking at these big hands, it will help you evaluate your play, regardless of whether or not you logged a winning or losing session. Were you simply lucky or unlucky, or were you playing well or playing badly? I think doing this daily is the best idea, but for the sake of this thread, let's look at the entire month of October. What I am suggesting is this: 1. Open PT and filter your stats to show everything for this month (Filters Tab) 2. Go to the Game Notes tab, click "Get All" and then sort by "BB" - I think this is better than "Net" for those of you who are playing many different levels. This will sort your biggest winning hands to the top of the list. Click it again and it will reverse it and move your biggest losers to the top. 3. Click on the Game Number for your biggest winner and your biggest loser, copy and paste the HHs, and post them here. With each HH (post them separately), do your best to self analyze it. If you won a monster pot by playing like a donkey and sucking out, say so. If you got all in with the nuts and lost, that's ok, but say so. And ideally, go through the HH and analyze every street (where applicable) and see if you could have played the hand better. I haven't looked at my biggest hands for the month yet, so don't think I'm doing this in hopes of making some sort of brag post or something, because that's not the case at all. In fact, thinking back over the course of the entire month, there were definitely some hands I played pretty badly, so I'm expecting to see one of those as my biggest loser.  Anyway, if a bunch of us do this, I think it will be a good learning tool for both the posters (self analyzers) and everyone else who is reading along. And if people comment on other people's hands, that's even better. Good idea? Let's do it! |

OK, here is my biggest winner for the month.
I mostly like how I played this hand, but in hindsight, I won this monster pot because of the combination of how I played preflop and the flop and the PERFECT card hitting the turn. Ironically, JJ was a huge loser for me for the first week of this month, but ended up being my third biggest winner, behind only KK and AA, mostly thanks to this hand, I suspect. FullTiltPoker Game #1075974799: Table Beeline (6 max) - $3/$6 - No Limit Hold'em - 11:55:23 ET - 2006/10/07 Seat 1: joc ($1,687) Seat 2: Troll Pie ($1,209) Seat 3: Koreandoyle ($1,468.15) Seat 4: unbeatable_T ($2,105.75) Seat 5: samd20 ($1,523.55) Seat 6: HoBobbi ($575.75) joc posts the small blind of $3 Troll Pie posts the big blind of $6 The button is in seat #6 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Troll Pie [Jc Js] Koreandoyle folds unbeatable_T calls $6 samd20 raises to $27 HoBobbi folds joc calls $24 Troll Pie calls $21 This is a great spot for a squeeze with the action in front of me. I'd say I reraise here at least 90% of the time. I don't remember why I choose to just call, but I think I was hoping to play it a little bit deceptively (more like I would play a small pair)... and I just so happened to fall into the dream scenario. Then again, maybe I was gun shy because of how crappy JJ had been treating me. I honestly don't remember. unbeatable_T calls $21 *** FLOP *** [4h Jh Td] Dream flop. Draw heavy though. joc checks Troll Pie checks Had I reraised preflop, I would have fired here, but since I didn't, I decided to go for the check raise. unbeatable_T checks samd20 checks Ugh. *** TURN *** [4h Jh Td] [4s] Corection - woohoo! joc checks Troll Pie bets $64 OK, I've got the second nuts here, so obviously I'm willing to go all the way. It's time to start building this pot. I should get calls here from heart draws (drawing dead), straight draws (drawing dead) and anyone holding a 4 (drawing to 1 out) or the case J (drawing dead). This is a good spot. unbeatable_T folds samd20 raises to $204 Hello. joc folds Troll Pie raises to $623 If I had position, I may have just called here and let him lead out at the river, but because I'm first to act, I prefer to reraise right here. Hopefully he's got a big hand and will come back over the top of me. In hindsight, I think my raise here was a little bit too much, but then again, it looks like I want him to fold. samd20 raises to $1,496.55, and is all in Perfection. Troll Pie calls $559, and is all in samd20 shows [Ad 4d] Troll Pie shows [Jc Js] Uncalled bet of $314.55 returned to samd20 *** RIVER *** [4h Jh Td 4s] [3d] samd20 shows three of a kind, Fours Troll Pie shows a full house, Jacks full of Fours Troll Pie wins the pot ($2,469) with a full house, Jacks full of Fours samd20 adds $285.45 *** SUMMARY *** Total pot $2,472 | Rake $3 Board: [4h Jh Td 4s 3d] Seat 1: joc (small blind) folded on the Turn Seat 2: Troll Pie (big blind) showed [Jc Js] and won ($2,469) with a full house, Jacks full of Fours Seat 3: Koreandoyle didn't bet (folded) Seat 4: unbeatable_T folded on the Turn Seat 5: samd20 showed [Ad 4d] and lost with three of a kind, Fours Seat 6: HoBobbi (button) didn't bet (folded) I think I played the hand ok, but honestly, I don't think this is the best way to play JJ in the long run. It worked out perfectly here, but that was lucky more than anything else. Like I said, it was because of the combination of my passive preflop and flop play, plus the perfect turn card for my opponent. Thoughts on my play are welcome, as always. |

OK, time to find my biggest loser. Let's see how big of a donkey I was.
OK, there's not much to say about this hand. I think it just kinda plays itself out - "that's poker." FullTiltPoker Game #1141003121: Table Brazilnut (6 max) - $3/$6 - No Limit Hold'em - 23:49:22 ET - 2006/10/23 Seat 1: obtrice11 ($1,338.60) Seat 3: dano3535 ($723.25) Seat 5: Troll Pie ($873.65) Seat 6: bigmac2564 ($240) Troll Pie posts the small blind of $3 dano3535: no bigmac2564 posts the big blind of $6 The button is in seat #3 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Troll Pie [3d 3c] kate2424 (Observer): ok then This annoying bitch was begging for money. She's go on and on about how lucky giving her money would be, and then when the person told her no, she's curse them and move on to the next person. She was annoying as shit. I didn't say anything for like the first 10 minutes, and then I finally went off on her. She actually offered to whore herself out the next time she was in IL (or wherever the one dude was from). Nice, eh? obtrice11 raises to $21 dano3535 folds kate2424 (Observer): u will lose ur chips in 20mins Troll Pie calls $18 Calling hoping to flop a set. Pretty standard. bigmac2564 calls $15 kate2424 (Observer): i want to see this *** FLOP *** [8s 3h Th] Good flop for me. Draw heavy though. Hoping to take it down with a check raise. Troll Pie: nice of her, eh? dano3535: lol i doubt it Troll Pie checks kate2424 (Observer): u wont win a hand for another 20mins bigmac2564 bets $6 I love these tards that bet $6. I'll just never get it. I basically treat this as a check. kate2424 (Observer): i promise you that obtrice11 raises to $45 Sweet. We've got action. Troll Pie raises to $99 I could have raised more, but I think this is ok. MOST of the time, the turn is going to be a safe card for me, and I can make a bigger bet then. bigmac2564 folds kate2424 (Observer): Troll, u will steal his luck staring now Lying whore. dano3535: i would bet with u but u have no money obtrice11 raises to $275 Well, it's a no brainer now. Troll Pie: good Troll Pie raises to $852.65, and is all in obtrice11 calls $577.65 Troll Pie shows [3d 3c] obtrice11 shows [9h 7h] Damn. That is a LOT of outs. He's actually a slight favorite! kate2424 (Observer): what did i say *** TURN *** [8s 3h Th] [Kh] Lovely. Troll Pie: not giving you money though *** RIVER *** [8s 3h Th Kh] [6d] Troll Pie shows three of a kind, Threes obtrice11 shows a flush, King high obtrice11 wins the pot ($1,772.30) with a flush, King high Troll Pie is sitting out *** SUMMARY *** Total pot $1,774.30 | Rake $2 Board: [8s 3h Th Kh 6d] Seat 1: obtrice11 showed [9h 7h] and won ($1,772.30) with a flush, King high Seat 3: dano3535 (button) didn't bet (folded) Seat 5: Troll Pie (small blind) showed [3d 3c] and lost with three of a kind, Threes Seat 6: bigmac2564 (big blind) folded on the Flop |

POKERSTARS GAME #6785819580: HOLD'EM NO LIMIT ($3/$6) - 2006/10/27 - 02:18:56 (ET) Table 'Sinope V' 6-max Seat #3 is the button Seat 1: Championanto ($307 in chips) Seat 2: JDpoker$tar7 ($966.40 in chips) Seat 3: dmon7575 ($349.90 in chips) Seat 6: straate ($2204.85 in chips) straate: posts small blind $3 Championanto: posts big blind $6 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to JDpoker$tar7 [Jh Jc] JDpoker$tar7: raises $15 to $21 dmon7575: folds straate: raises $51 to $72 AbsoluteAces joins the table at seat #4 Championanto: folds JDpoker$tar7: calls $51 hes very aggro, but no point to re-raise JJ right here, he'd fold TT and call with AK, or JJ+ *** FLOP *** [Jd Ah 3s] straate: bets $96 JDpoker$tar7: calls $96 I could re-raise here, but hes gonna make a big CB like this No matter what cards he has, he easily could have nothing so I decided to see if he wants to bluff anymore *** TURN *** [Jd Ah 3s] [6h] straate: checks JDpoker$tar7: checks I check back immediately to act weak, at this point i figure he was just making another CB with crap, and that I'll need him to fire again on river to make any $ *** RIVER *** [Jd Ah 3s 6h] [2h] straate: bets $275 JDpoker$tar7: raises $523.40 to $798.40 and is all-in that worked, and luckily he actually has a hand, I played it much diff than I usually would, I even talk to this player on AIM, and he knows I would almost never play a set like that so he tries to make a heroic call straate said, "wow this is wierd hand" straate said, "i dont see you having" straate said, "AJ or JJ" straate: calls $523.40 *** SHOW DOWN *** JDpoker$tar7: shows [Jh Jc] (three of a kind, Jacks) straate: mucks hand straate said, "nh" JDpoker$tar7 collected $1936.80 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot $1938.80 | Rake $2 Board [Jd Ah 3s 6h 2h] Seat 1: Championanto (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 2: JDpoker$tar7 showed [Jh Jc] and won ($1936.80) with three of a kind, Jacks Seat 3: dmon7575 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: straate (small blind) mucked [As Qs] This is def. not my standard play with a set, hand would have been played much differently if I were up against a donk.

Biggest loser Too bad I didnt have PT when I was playing 100/200 Limit, lost a few 5k pots there.. I remember this hand perfectly, I wanted to fold the turn so bad, and I actually planned on it, but that small as turn bet totally sucked me in. This player knew I could make big laydowns and that little turn bet worked perfect vs. me.

I don't currently have PokerTracker as I'm away from my usual computer, but I believe the biggest winning hand (and probably the showcase of why Bodog is such easy money) from October.

What is with all the JJ? It's no wonder people generally consider that one of the hardest hands to play.
I like how you played your winning hand, JD. I may have played it differently and bet the turn, but other than that, I like it preflop and on the flop. And the river is an obvious all in. |

Holy shit.
Were you at all worried he had a monster, or is this type of crap standard in that game? Do you play to the felt regularly with TPTK, even in the face of major aggression? |

I just got around to doing this,
12,334 hands I am shocked to find the biggest winner was: JJ Honestly, no suprise to me the biggest loser AA I am sure that is because I got stacked twice getting all-in preflop with AA vs KK and getting 2-outed.

For the last two posters, I'm not sure what you are doing, but this is not what this thread was about. Please reread the first post and follow the (pretty simple) instructions, just like everyone else in the thread did.

Yeah, I probably should have put more money on the flop, but his guy was bluffing like every hand so I decided to call down even though the board became horrible.
