7:00 $5.50 $3000 guaranteed at UB

[Penguinfan]

I am on a very thin bankroll these days so the $5 game suits me fine, I keep telling myself I am rebuilding. Actually just avoiding making a deposit for as long as possible. Had the theory I would take care of it better if every hand counted.

The game I am in is rediculous, all you need is some cards and people are in line to double you up. Guy just called a huge bet with A9o when the board had 4 to a straight and 3 to the flush showing. Just need some cards.

[Penguinfan]

Got a hand to play KK and doubled up against a guy with QQ, how he didn't catch the 2-outer, I have no idea. There was a guy in the pot with 3-4 off suit as well, not sure where he came from.

If you are serious about rebuilding, you should probably put the $5 into a cheap cash game as opposed to a large MTT. Better chances of maximizing EV, in my opinion.

in the UB tourneys, do you start with 2500 chips?

[Talking Poker]

The big ones are 2500, I think. The $100 one I did was. this one was only 1500... still a lot better than Party's structure, IMO. I like the smaller fields too.

[omahilo]

yeah thats why I like FTP... they have small fields even in the $10 tournies. They also have a very favorable blind structure.

Funny you should mention that, I'm playing in a $20 tourney at FTP that only drew about 60, 27 left now and I'm a bit outside the money spots.

[Penguinfan]

I'm not that short on the bankroll yet Aeq, I've got plenty to play in the $5.00 games, I have always played well within my bankroll, ALWAYS. It's just that I can't really play in the $30 or $50 games right now.

[Penguinfan]

Just got a kick in the nuts and I mean hard. Had J6 in the BB flop was J-6-4 I bet the pot and get one caller, turn is a 10 I put him all in and he calls with KQ and catches and A in the river for the straight or I could fold my way to the money.

[Talking Poker]

Ouch... that hurts. Hang in there.

I'm currently 2nd out of 17 players remaining, meaning it's just about time for me to get knocked out holding a monster.

[omahilo]

how much for 1st TP?

[Talking Poker]

You're getting ahead of myself! I have to make the money first...

Just had AA and ended up winning a pretty big pot. Really thought that was going to be the end of me, as per my usual.

First place pays $1248.

15 payers left. I'm second in chips with 25k.

[omahilo]

I agree with TP... this is a good flop for your TT because whenever the board pairs the odds of him having the card that paired is nil and the other card was below your PP of TT so I would of pushed with it.

[Penguinfan]

If I just call it lets people behind me in, one of which said he was holding K 10. How much he would have called I have no idea.

[omahilo]

yeah I was assuming it was just you and the other guy... dunno what u would of did if 3 or 4 people got in for some reason and it was bet/raised to you.

[Penguinfan]

Put a guy all-in when I was holding AJs and he limped in, well he limped with KK. No help in sight of course, though I didn't deserve any. This will be my undoing. At least it was my fault for a change. Dammit, would it stop the world from spinning for me to catch and A in that spot? God knows it happens the other way often enough.

[Penguinfan]

I'm out, short stacked and went in with a pair of 8's, got called by the BB who had 44, you guessed it he gets a 4. Like I said it always happens to me, but never for me, and you all wonder why I am angry all the time?!?
