Welcome back Stormswa Tourney take 2

stormswa · #1 07-23-07, 12:28 AM

ok took me awhile to get around to this, my call was fine with KT there for a couple of reasons. Actully needed 2 to be present to make that call, of course folding here was also a good option but calling was not bad.

1. I closed the betting - what this means is I was the last to act, if there was action behind me then yes of course I could not call. dont remember the names of players and dont feel like looking but the cold call before me screamed small pocket pair. It was kinda obvious actully because what else could he just call with there that hand me dominated, nothing. Getting 3-1 I think thats easy call seeing as im closing the betting round.

2. I was pretty sure it would be checked through, so with that in mind I knew I could make the call and get to see 5 cards unless he hit a set and then I coud fold easily when I missed flop. Now the all in guy, well its obvious he had a pretty good hand seeing as the 4th player was sitting out and would be blinded out in couple hands I knew he had to have AQ+ or JJ+, but he didnt matter because like I said I was getting 3-1 on a decent hand (not good) and I knew that I would still have plenty of chips to work with if I blanked the flop.

have to ask our donkament experts here but i can't see why you would call off 6.5bb with shallow stacks and a bad hand. mayhem??

shallow stacks?

I had 48bb, you concider that shallow? I had plenty of chips to make the call, plenty, its not like I had 12 bb and I was calling of 6.5 of them. Still had tons of fold equity after this hand. And I pretty much proved that by getting it even heads up and then getting unlucky when my top pair lost to 2nd pair.

One more question, since I didn't even read #2 until now because I had so many

s about number 1....

So, if you did hit that flop (or any of the board cards) with your "decent hand" (that's worthy of a

right there), I'm wondering just how much more of yout stack you'd be willing to put in the middle with your junk hand? I mean, let's change that Ace overcard for you and give YOU TP, so say the board was this:

[4s 7s Kh 5d] [3d]

Are you really willing to go broke here? Or would you just maybe

off another 25% of your stack before folding?

Just wondering.

Again... I really can't WAIT for that video series. Hopefully all my questions will be answered then, because I have to tell you - right now, I don't have any idea what the hell you are talking about. It's almost like we are analyzing two completely different hands!

TP I would never put the video on this site, I would put it on the private section of cardschat. Why would I put it up here? you yourself said you would watch it just for a chuckle?

why would I take my time to do something for a forum that obviously would not appriciate it. As for hand I was mistaken in the hand when I said I was cloing the betting, yea now it was a bad play all together...yea cant even go into #2 because well just because with me having someone to act behind me this is pretty bad all together, yep

call.

I knew the player was sitting out though, that didnt matter to me I knew if the player all in won I could easily wait for him to blind out. Think I even mentioned that in 1st post, again with me missplaying the hand being 2nd to act none of that matters. I thought vanquish called before me, call it a mindlapse.

doesn't it just feel wrong to call off 7.5BB (sorry not 6.5) with KTo??

you are "shallow" here in the sense that you're calling off 16% of your remaining stack. not that i think i'd ever call 7.5BB with KTo because it's such a horrible postflop hand.

i don't mean to offend or anything, just being honest

sjay2k · #7 07-23-07, 02:05 AM

also you're begging to get squeezed by making this call

Talking Poker · #8 07-23-07, 02:06 AM

You can't get squeezed when you are closing the actions. Sheesh.

stormswa · #9 07-23-07, 02:53 AM

good point

stop being a asshole, I said I messed up on the analasis of the hand so drop it. As for the video's, I was fine posting them but got some negative comments and dont feel like listening to the smart ass comments that will follow. Feels at least for me more of a hassle to post something like a instructional video on this site, also another reason I will not post in the HA section here anymore. I read and talk about poker around 8 hours a day, everyday and I'm always striving to learn but after alot of idiotic comments by users I decided learning from this site was pointless because everything is negative towards me, guess I just got sick of it and kinda leaned towards other forums I had not been as active on. Not taking anything away from the forum I do still think you have a handful of very good posters that add a lot here, I always read just never post and it seems to be working a lot better that way.

Talking Poker · #10 07-23-07, 02:05 AM

Wait... I guess I'm confused again. Did I completely misinterpret ? I thought you were asking if people would be interested, and I thought people were saying yes.

Just curious why you've decided to only take from this forum and not give anything back. I mean, if you weren't making any videos that would be one thing, but to specifically say you are making them and will post them on another forum (hello spam) but NOT here... that seems pretty shitty to me.
