Weekend of Poker
Saturday, I decided to make the 2 hour trip to london and play in there £100 Freezeout at Gutshot. I arrived a few hours early and was surprised to see that the hotel I reserved a room for didnt have my name down. Eh Eh Eh, I played the tournament , I busted out after about an hour when my K-K all in before the flop was called by a frustrated button riaser with, A6, he flopped trips and I was out.
Then It was quite early in the evening , so I thought I'd go back to nottingham, damn, no trains....hmm I could go back to peterborough and sleeep there, then go back to nottingham tommorow OR I could play cash games at gutshot till early morning then go back to notts via an early train.
I flipped a coin on it, the first 2 being peterborough (1st to 3), then 3 on the bounce for cash games. Who am I to argue?
After losing £100 with J-J when I re raised the raiser pre flop, someone smooth caled behind me for £39 with Ah9h, the riaser passed. flop of A-5-3 (2s), I pushed in to stop any other overs or for him hittin trips if he had lower pp, he called with A9 and that was one buy in.
Hmmm bad news, I lost from my last £80 on me down to £25, So I thought Id go to ATM....more bad news, atm wouldnt let me withdraw anymore.
So I played with that lsat £25, got it up to Js7s when I looked for a value in a 4 way raised pre flop pot, I won and was now sitting with around £90.
I then get AA and win another £40 , then quad 4s :) when 44 hits 44J on flop. I got paid nicely.
Then I was sitting around £260 and with blinds £1/£2 this meant I was fairly deep, I played pretty well and within few hours was sitting around £420. I was playing many pots, and this annoyed one young lad who thought he was the king, he was good imo, I respected him cos he spoke alot of theory that was true. But I replied one time when he said " relentess, he calls me down all time", When i called a flop and turn bet with Ah5h on a A rag rag (2s) then turn 4 (giving me open ended too) and he missed his flush on river. I replied with " complain when Ive been wrong".
Here are some hands in the cash game. Q-Q , I raised to like £8 , the young guy calls in position as does a limper before me. Flop comes K-4-3. Check, I check, he bets like £22. The other passes, I call. I call here to see if he shutdowns on turn, I check/call so I get value from a weaker hand but also so I dont lose laods if i raise and get re raised. Anyway, turn was like a 7, check check. Now I think I am prolly infront ,when river comes Q. I went to bet then thought actually, If i read him for no king, what can I call? So I check.He fires for £56, and cos I read him as not much I re raise the minimum. He looked worried and says " I think I know whats happened here", He reluctantly calls and I win a nice pot. I read him for KJ when he said this and he flashed a King.
He said, he checked turn to get paid well on river since he felt i had 10 10 or JJ when check call, check. Well played there by both of imo.
Another , I have AcKc, I re raise a new guy the pot pre flop to like £38 after he riased pot and 2 calls. He called leaving like £60 behind him. Flop came A-6-10, planning on gettin full value I check, knowing hes gonna bet, he pushes I fast call. Turn 3, river A. I turn over KA he has A6 LOL. Nice call pre flop eh? That left me down to like £250 or something.
Soon after AsKs, few limpers, I raise to £14 , someone re raises to £40, he was tight and chatty when I was pondering , I folded and showed. He only played KK before that, and He mucked his cards. Big fold there I reckon, but I was oop and felt Id have to hit before I bet. I felt pre flop he definitely had me beat , at worst QQ/JJ.
Ac8c, I call the young guys riase. Flop J 8 3 , he leads I call, turn 4 he checks, ( i shud have bet here, but he checks to me with top pair regularly)river K, check check. He has 9-9. I could have played that a bit better, but I played this session often like check/calling etc and limping before flop. It worked well, cos I didnt invest too much pre flop.
KK , I raise pre flop. 2 calls. Flop K Q 6 (2 hearts ) someone bets out a very weak £8, I figure he was drawing so I couldnt call for value, I had to re raise with the nuts, I made it £32, he called. Turn Q, He checked, again I had to charge if he was drawing cos if he misses I dont get paid, I make it like £32 again I think. Weak bet, but i want value . He calls river rag, he checks I bet £90 into like £187 hopin he might have a Q but not putting him on it. He has to fold like I thought. Damn I wish a heart came.
3h4h, I call the young guys raise as do 2 others. Flop comes 3 J 7, 2 check to me, I lead for like £20 into £24 , they pass. Boring hand actually.
Alot of the hands were me calling before flop or calling a raise and either takign it away post flop or hitting and trying to get value. My loose style worked well. I ended the session with £218 which isnt great but I lost JJ to A9 and AK to A6 for a very sizeable pot...like £380. So I could have left with over £650 but all things considered a good trip.
Then I got a 9am train to notts, slept on train.Woke up to my flat mate talking to the people next to me about Richard branson and their new ventures lol. Then we played the 2.30 pm £30 freezeout at gala nottingham..Poker Poker poker.
He came like 35th/75 I finished 3rd for £320. It was a weak field and picked up strong hands early on to give me the ammunition to control and raise later on. I wasnt ever hugely stacked just plugged away at my table. And they really let me lol. I was plannin only to win and was never gonna deal on the final table. I had Ad8d vs K10 late on and lost for abig pot. Then I came back only to lose A7 vs 67, but i still stole my way back up for like the 3rd time on the FT. When 3 handed my QJ all pre was beat by a6, despite a flop 10 9 K giving me the nuts, the turn and river of Q and J was mean. I fully deserved the FT win imo, as I was completely dominating still, a final table and 3rd place was reasonable.
I will play less online poker this week to catch up with uni work. Last weeks wins made me nocturnal hence a serious lack of university attendance.
Thanks for reading.
