Zybomb · #28 07-11-10, 04:22 AM

You still got 29 BBs. U can kill it. Also can u do me a favor post out my boy ofir's table 248

Windbreaker · #29 07-11-10, 04:46 AM

Full table draws won't be listed tonight. Usually comes up at around 10 AM the next day.

I'll post a link when I find out.

Today basically sucked. Start with 51k....busted a guy early in the day. Probably the biggest mistake I made...lol.

Open Q4o on the button. BB calls. Flops Q107r....bb bets 1850, I call. Turn 3...he shoves 8500...I call and beat K10.

I get it up to 72k. And the seat I bust....gets filled by a guy that I guess is a high stakes cash game player.

Basically the theme of our table, is no walks. I think there was two walks the entire day. 3 bet pots was getting called 90% of the time. Basically the cash game player would put everyone in difficult situations...and when he gets to showdown...he'll show up with the best hand in one way or another.

I never really had any big hands. KK twice....lost a medium pot one time. I open 2/4 a50 to 950 from utg. Late MP calls....button calls. Flops 7s 6s 2h. I bet 2650....MP makes it 7k, button folds I call. Turn Qs. I check....and fold to 10k. Cause I don't really see what I can be beating aside from a bluff. (No Ks)

There were a few fun incidents. One older guy was pretty bad....but got some chips. He got into a huge pot. 3 handed...in just a single raised pot. PFR c-bets 3k on KJx two clubs. Older guy makes it 10k. PFR makes it 50k. The Older guy has about 70k left. And for the second time in the day...against the same player he takes out a coin...to make the decision. KJulius asks him...what does heads mean? He says...heads a shove...tails a fold. So he flips...and it's tails. KJulius (not in the hand) was like....best 2 out of 3...best 2 out of 3. So he flips...and the coin bounces...and is heads. Ok one more....flips...and heads again.

So he shoves...and the guy has to call. Coin flipper had KQo. PFR had AKo.....and I sit there with my measly stack wondering when I will get a hand.

The coin flipper was pretty upset afterwards...took the everest seat cushion with him as he's walking out...and apparently flung it across the room when he left...and hit a guy in the crowd or something...lol.

In any case, basically my day consisted of opening with small pairs....missing every time....and folding. I would open a few hands c-bet...and have to give up.

I have yet to flop a set, have aces, or QQ the entire 2 days. Today was much worse, since I didn't even flop a flush or straight draw...outside of a bottom end of a gut shot.

I made two hands on the flop the entire day....and I played one poorly.

One hand...I raise utg with q9o...cause I have an image of such a nit since I have nothing the entire day. Get one caller...flops 997...c-bet and take it down.

The hand I misplayed. UTG opens at 300/600 a75 to 1500....I make it 3800 with Q7s (I know, I'm getting creative now...lol). The cash game player calls.....fold to utg...he calls. Flops Q97. There's 13k in the middle...and I c-bet way too much to 8100. Should have taken more time.

I only recall there ever being two walks the entire day at the table...and I had JJ in the BB once.

By the end of the night...all I could do was never give up, try to stay positive....and stay alive to fight another day.

Zybomb · #30 07-11-10, 04:54 AM

Out at XS so will comment on hands when i read. My boy played yest not today. is his table up?

Windbreaker · #31 07-11-10, 05:05 AM

Dont' see a table 248 listed. I think he has the wrong table number...cause I see the official list from WSOP. They have an amazon 348. Or tell me the name and I can search that way. There's a Michael from Woodside? That him?

Not sure you can see this list.

I have the pdf version from WSOP...but you have d/l it.

Zybomb · #35 07-11-10, 10:16 AM

Thanks for posting that Windbreaker...

Seems like you just caught an unlucky run -- don't lose patience, 30 BBs is a stack still... at least you don't have Cole Fuckin South (with 300k in chips!!!) at your table Monday.

Lemme know the details about the stars thing, I'd be interested.

Ok bombed from XS (off the hook party btw w tons of b-ball players, girls out the ass etc etc) gunna crash now

Kurn · #36 07-11-10, 11:34 AM

Great job so far, guys. Let's have 2 TP Nov9ers!!

Windbreaker · #37 07-11-10, 04:03 PM

lol....I don't understand this table draw at all...apparently I'm playing heads up on day 3. I actually wouldn't mind that if it was true.

I don't see JD on the day 3 list....assume he busted.

Zy....The party starts at 9 at Palms tonight. I'm staying at Palms place, so let me know when you're coming down here and I can get you the wrist band.

- Oh nvm...harrahs has spelling errors.

Zybomb · #38 07-11-10, 04:33 PM

I spoke to JD earlier yest - yea he did bust, shoved AQ from the SB (was short) and ran into Kings... WB u wanna PM me ur number and ill hit u up when im comin thru. Im obv gunna keep it low key and only chill a few hours since we gotta play tom (and i was out until 6AM drinking at XS met hasheem thabeet marcus camby, girls out the ass etc). I guess ill meet up around 900 and we can go whenever if thats cool

sjay2k · #39 07-11-10, 06:56 PM

LOL that's awesome....Hasheem Thabeet, the guy who can't catch, and Marcus Camby, the guy who can't stay healthy. I just imagine Thabeet picking his drink off the bar and dropping it onto Camby's knee, injurying him for 6 - 8 weeks.

Reel Deal · #40 07-12-10, 11:51 AM

Literally LOL!

Windbreaker · #41 07-12-10, 06:28 PM

Out - down to 20 bbs...a 145k stack opens utg - loose player....I ship 99 for 20 bbs on the button...he has JJ. I think he can have all pairs, suited connectors, etc in his range....as there are a ton of deep stacks and only 2 reship stacks.

I don't get there...overall...frustrating....never made a hand after day 1.

melioris · #42 07-12-10, 07:08 PM

bummer Windbreaker, but thanks for the updates and well played anyway.

Zybomb · #43 07-12-10, 11:01 PM

Today was the most frustrating day of poker for the tournament yet. First off I had Cole South and Jason Somerville at my table. Jason was 2 to my left and was ultra aggro opening a ton of pots. Cole was actually playing fairly snug and solid. very bad player would get into a pot with Jason and then donkey their stack to him.

Overall in pots I was probably slightly ahead on both Jason and Cole in terms of money swapped between us....

So Im obviously posting at 6:55PM, which means Im out... so what went wrong...

Well two main hands basically, although there were some other interesting ones that I'll post later

Some moron freshly moved to the table opens the 800/1600 Blinds from the CO to 4800 with 45k behind . I repop him out of the BB to 17k and he calls with KJ. Flop comes KKx and he gets a double up from me.

That leaves me short at around 50k. I dwindle between 30k-60k for a while and the blinds have gone up to 1000-2000. Im being patient and avoided a few spots that I could've shoved...

Then I get AA in the BB with 47k left... 2nd pos opens to 5k folds around to me and I 3 bet it to 15k, he tanks a minute and then shoved on me... he only has me covered by 20k btw. I call.... he shows AQo yea thats right AQo. Can I ask to be shown a better hand than AQo??????

Window card is a Q and I think ok I got a tiny sweat now.... nope I don't. 2nd card is a fuckin Queen also.

GH

will post interesting hands when I stop steaming. AA was brutal to me today...

melioris · #44 07-13-10, 10:03 AM

that is a bummer Zy. WP in general and better luck next time.

2Tone · #45 07-13-10, 12:39 PM

Brutal end, but a strong showing none the less. Thanks for the updates.

Reel Deal · #46 07-13-10, 01:18 PM

Gross ending Zy. What did you have vs. the guy with KJ?

Talking Poker · #47 07-13-10, 03:09 PM

He had AA both hands.

Gross, indeed.

Zybomb · #48 07-13-10, 04:42 PM

Yuck,, I was so disgusted I didn't realize I didn't include that. Yea I had AA there as well... although my play there could somewhat be suspect as I was shoving close to a PSB there, but I kinda thought a little more of his stack was in pre as than actually was.... but yea...

I also wanna share is SICK hand with Jason Somerville and a BB

Jason has 340k to start and the BB has roughly 155k. Jason opens the 800-1600 blinds to 4000 from the CO, folds to the BB who 3 bets to 11k. Jason 4 bets to 24.5k, BB 5 bets to 55.3k. Jason asks him how much he has left tanks a minute and then shoves. BB insta folds, and Jason shows a 4. BB nods and said he had a 2.

Windbreaker · #49 07-13-10, 06:16 PM

Too bad Zy...ya, I saw your table draw, and knew that it would be a tough table with two of the best players in the world so deep. You played well...and just ran bad when it matter.

I have seen Jason's video on PokerVT...and have seen his progress in the last year...and he's definitely one of the sickest players out there....and has continued to improve.

Guys like him make me think I have a long ways to learn...lol.

Zybomb · #50 09-23-10, 08:17 AM

Off topic, but my friend Ofir whose table draw I asked you to check for Day 3 final tabled the WPT Borgata, and has the chip lead going into tomorrow (today). 1st place is around 730k
