Tournament #??

Notes:

Already tired starting out. Play hard, play to win. Since you're in it already.

d5327xh7 reraises me pre flop, I go ahead and fold.




Next hand,  d5327xh7 raises pre flop with 4 5 suited, calls with -- nothing? Str8 draw

calling station d5327xh7


definite calling station. just pushed with str8 draw. made str8 -- be ready to take the stack

called all in w/pocket 10's. 9's on the board, simply couldn't believe somebody had a 9. Of course they had a 9. That's what comes of playing tired.

Place: 7th

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #25

Notes:
trileromaki: calling station?


all in pre w/jj, killed by other guy's kk's

Place: 8th

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #24

Notes:

ted the mechani started out playing like a calling station and i just doubled up using his tokies

pokerdragon7 plays the check raise w/ace on the board -- he had pocket qq

ncraig slow plays the flopped 2pr like an idiot and wins 520 tokies from 4 players! Hee!

pokerdragon all in w/trip k's on the river -- with 4 spades on the board! (Not a single spade in his own hand)

pioppa pushes from short stack with suited king and gets running clubs on 4th and 5th to double up on cheeto

but wild play causes stack to dwindle almost immediately. calling station?

cheeto seems a bit of a puss

ncraig  callin all the way with pocket 9's -- my trip 5's take him waaay down

Totally played good heads up against ncraig who was not easy and took 1st. Avoided several tempting all ins and nailed him with a small pair after the flop...

Place:

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #19

Notes:
Pikester bets a lot, at least if the first 3 hands are any indication. Don't go up against him without cards

Yep. Pikester down to 1000 chips after just a few rounds

pikester doubles up on me, calls my pre flop raise w/4 7 suited, calls all in w/flush draw, hits flush

Pikester: calling station

DivaD calls all the way to river after i make my trips, tries to bluff me on the river HA she had nothing

And bovious plays the calling station to double up w/trip 10's -- takes the lead w/8 players remaining

Short stacked after pikester calls my all in from button w/44 -- he had kk and that was that

Pikester is the only person playing at this table, it seems. I raised a/AK pre, he called, I bet on flop and he folded

on the  bubble with pikester to my left -- i think he'll find his fold button

pikester tries to bluff diva who's got like almost 10 times as many chips as he -- no go and he's

This was a strategic bubble play on my part. When Anti pushed after pikester, I realized that I felt really good about my cards and if I lost and pikester lost I would be in 3rd.

Tournament #7

Tournament Number: WHO CARES???

(I'm not gonna bother keeping the tournament number any more)

Notes:

I'm playing a 2nd in the same day because I played well even though I lost. Let's see what happens.

Hopefully I don't go on cumulative tilt.

supermagrao with the opening hand check raise

annabellerose calls my preflop raise with -- 9 8 off? Then keeps calling while Ace and others show on board...gut shot calls...

annabelle rose calling station out the door

3rd place @ 100

I have got to get out of the habit of randomly raising to "keep people on their toes." They're walking around on their toes with my chips.

I'm tied near the bottom but no need to panic we're all in a clump down here

az devils 444 will push in a heartbeat don't play him unless you're ready to push too

i cultivated a bs table image in order to rake in when i got some hands. then i never got any hands

i took az's play away from him -- pushed before he could he called me and i doubled up

cincykid on tilt pushes and finishes 4th I AM ITM

pushed with 7's, tj calls with k 8 (no reason not to) he pulls a straight on the river and I finish 3rd

Maybe pushing wasn't the play there, but I was really short stacked. Probably could have called I don't think tj would have raised.


Place: 3rd
(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #2

Tournament Number: 160553894

Notes: Feeling ok. Slept ok.
PLAY TIGHT IN THE BEGINNING

All in after hitting K with K A (called 270 pre flop) -- called by kaisten who hit his flush draw and I'm sucking hind teat (also called by jp_enriquez who had raised pre flop with qq)

xxvaldurxx goes out with all in call from button AJ suited -- he missed

jp_enriquez is playing hot -- reraised me pre flop from no position -- think he's just stealing cause he knows I won't go all in

d3lirio all in and out with with 2 2 after 888 on board called by kaisten who had a higher pp

I double up with all in play on 88 -- 250 and kaisten didn't call! Alla did and I doubled up

Jp_enriquez tightened up and is playing well

Omegaanasian seems to be playing loose and paying although he did double up on me

kaisten still not calling me




mrbiggz01 seems to be waiting for monster hand -- haven't seen much out of him

tripled up with pp hockey sticks! Had to call a preflop raise from kaisten -- was tempted to go all in right there -- however I think waiting is what dragged jp_enriquez in with me

kaisten is a calling station candidate, i think. he called my all in push with hitting nothing...

and he just called mauninho  all in with NOTHING and won by pure chance which means i am in the money

by the way i just remembered barefoot (from last night) is a calling station not an atm

and i played the calling station effect to perfection -- he called my all in with nothing and i double up

And to top it off heads up he calls me all in WITH NOTHING and I take 1st place!

Lesson learned: Lots of times in there where I would've given an aw hell all-in push in my lesser playing days. Not saying I'm great but...1st place after being down to <4 bb's...I'll take it, yeah.

Place: 1st
(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

Tournament #1

Tournament Number: 160439970

Notes:

Feeling ok, a little headache-y. Listening to The National, "Boxer."

KAHN1864 all in first hand after rags on flop (nobody followed)

Playing tight first part of tournament--totally goes against my instincts (play hands while they're cheap!) but I read that advice today so I'm trying it.

Psychodad on an ok slow play of ace hit

Folded hockey sticks after 6 9 10 flop. Wound up with straight on the board -- nobody had the jack but I would have overplayed that almost for certain

In over my head with open-ended str8 draw, but stopped playing. I don't think I was going to knock psychodad off of his k a and thank heavens i didn't get one of the bad str8s (my str8 might have hit his cards too)

Psychodad1986 seems not to be one to fold

810 at 50 bb -- i don't know what to do. Table image is shit bc I've played and then petered out on too many hands. I have got myself into a position where I have to wait for a big hand.

I am so playing like a pussy. Took a shot at ANOTHER pot, got called all the way around -- got beat by queen high after I stopped playing.

Psychodad all in with junk pre flop and knocked out -- made a move from low position -- stupid move

Barefoot suddenly takes the lead -- off my left hand. Commanding lead, of the only play monsters variety for me. He just called another player's 240 chip all in with 6 2 off

These people are playing crazy -- I'm <10 bb but I think these folks are going before me

7th pl., <5 BB

MKLM99 all in on a flush draw, called by Barefoot with his queen he hit

Kahn calls my all in preflop with king high -- my ace hit and I doubled up

Barefoot called my all in when I hit j 9 2 pr from BB -- he had a jack but no 2pr and I double up again.

Kahn all in pre with AJ -- Barefoot called OF COURSE with not much and Kahn doubles up


Still playing a lot tighter than these guys -- and stealing every now and then to boot.

Barefoot = ATM

Got into a bit of a rough patch -- overplayed AQ off -- BF hit with his KJ off -- I'm down to 4th place but these guys are still playing wild...

BF all in with K3 suited and no outs. Total all-in bluff and -- I'm in the money

All in from 3rd place with 9 10 suited when I realized I was forgetting to play fast. My caller had the ace. He hit but he didn't need it. I wound up with a flush draw but ...

Place: 3rd.

(1st = $4.50; 2nd = $2.70; 3rd = $1.80)

UPDATE: Barefootskiierxx is a calling station not an atm. Got my terms mixed up
