My understanding is that if you are dealt a max payout hand (so Royal on any game, or 4 Aces with 2,3,4 kicker on the Triple Double Bonus I was playing, 5 deuces on deuces wild, etc.) it will just ins

Damn. AA, KK, QQ, and JJ. Pretty sick. Another year making it in via satellite and clearing the first day. You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take, or something like that. Nice effort and appreciat

btw- crazy thing here.

Sooner's table all agreed that everyone keeps their own bounties, so then this happens to him in the last 30 mins

Quote

Second hand, open AKhh to 35, guy jams 100 we call he has AJ. Flop KT5 and we avoid the dread Q ball. 8 left.

Quote

guy jams 100 from late position. We are BB and call A7. He has A6. Flop JJ3 turn 7. 7 handed.

Quote

Open AT to 35, player jams about 100 we call she has A9. Flop TT5 and we can’t lose that one! 6 left.

would have been 2 more bounties for him ( since he already kept his own)

He did lose one medium sized pot so its not like he's run the table, but hes making sure all the others ladder up.

heres the guaranteed payouts for him

 

·  Place ·  Earnings

·  1st     ·  $12,478

·  2nd    ·  $7,712

·  3rd    ·  $5,613

·  4th    ·  $4,151

·  5th    ·  $3,118

·  6th    ·  $2,378

jesus, this may be one of the fastest final tables ever-  its only been 1 hour  heres the next update

Player UTG goes 50, we have TT in BB and call. He’s too deep to get TT in pre, esp w 2 shorties. Flop 872hh. I bet 60 he calls. Turn 4h I bet 125 he folds. Then we lose a player. 4 handed.

He's guaranteed $4,150

It played out a lot faster than I thought. We did have 3 quite short stacks at the start, and 2 of the 3 of them were among those busting early. But I thought with it going up to 45 minute levels, that it would go a bit slower, especially as people maybe tried to ladder up.

well it is a circuit event, I dont think Chops are allowed.

You can chop, but the casino is going to pay out what's listed. Up to the players then to distribute the money. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing it for much money unless I was the one getting paid the big amount and then paying out to others. Multiple stories of tourneys where they agree, then the guy who signs for 1st and takes 1st place money just leaves.  Fuck that.

so I have no idea if this is a typo by Sooner, and he means trapped....  or if tarped is a previously-unknown-to-me poker phrase for losing but not getting felted?

Chitwood had it. Meme meaning trapped. I raise QJ on button, he just flats AK from SB. 732 ck ck. K turn he ck calls my 45k bet. Blank river, he ck snaps my 100k bet. Oops.

So some fun hands:  Played the main event on Saturday. For the first several hours, was pretty card dead, but picked a few spots and just kind of floated along.  So we are ten minutes before dinner break. Meanwhile OSU has just scored a TD to pull within 48-47 in Bedlam. We have 34k, playing 400/800/100.  

Mediocre guy limps, Schuyler Thornton (good, very aggressive) goes 3k, we call button with 77, limper calls. 11k pot. Flop J97hh.  Limper leads 2k, Schuyler folds, I raise to 9k. Too many awful cards can come on the turn to just call, he had about 27k to start the hand, I'd like to get him to commit with a jack. If he calls flop, now he has 15k back, and pot is 30k, so a nice easy half pot jam. He calls.  Turn is Tx. He now jams. Pretty gross spot. Obv he can have a straight, but I can beat that with a board pair.  He can have something like JT or something like maybe QThh enough where I have to call and I do.  He actually has T7, which is a pretty sweet UTG limp/call, and an even sweeter flop bet/call. So all I need to do is fade one of the last two tens in the deck and take a very healthy stack to dinner.  River ten. 

Unbelievable, especially considering that the last main event I played, I get 99 in on J97 vs AQ and lose, and now in the very next one, I lose 77 against T7 on the same damn J97 flop to running fucking tens.  So I take 7 big blinds to dinner, and was glad to have the 60 minute break. My fiancee probably didn't enjoy the dinner convo to the max though ha.

2nd hand back from dinner, Schuyler opens, I jam AQ, and he is math-locked to call, and has the exact same T7dd that I just lost to. Even more unbelievably, I actually beat it!  Grind back to starting stack, then lose half TT to 33 who flopped a set.

Jam 15.5 at 6/12/2 with TT and get 2 calls.  Feeling optimistic-ish when flop is 922 until one of them goes allin and the other calls. Somehow they have 88 and AQ and I fade the last two and am completely back in the game at almost 50k.

Run cold again, end up jamming 50k at 1/2 with AhQs, get called by 66, flop 2 hearts, turn a 3rd, but can't find the 15 outer on the river.

So I have the bounty the next day, and show up about 10 min late because I was on the phone helping a buddy with a landlord dispute. My very first hand at 25/50 (15k starting), it goes limp/limp, guy makes it 250, I go 800 with QQ he calls. Flop J74ss. He leads out 1500 here. My thoughts are similar to the 77 hand before, that I want to get more money in here, with lots of bad turns either for my hand or my action. It's unlikely he has KK or AA, and should never have two pair. He certainly can have JJ, 77, 44, but I think he is leading jacks and flush draws way more than leading sets. I raise to 4k and he quickly calls. Turn 5. He rips it, I shrug call, he has AJ and we hold. He had lost a few chips, so I get his bounty and we are rolling.

Interesting hand at 75/150/25 - I raise AQ from EP to 400 off a 38k stack, two loose guys call, and then a pretty competent guy 3b button to 1100. Obv if I call, the other two guys are calling. I also think he knows these guys are fishy and wants to take the initiative with position and doesn't have to be nutted to do that. I decide to 4b to 3300, folds to him, he calls. Flop is AT5. This is an interesting flop to play out of position. I like the flop obviously, but if all the money goes in (he started the hand with 20-25k), I am very likely beat. I check, he bets 2200, I call. Turn 6, chk chk. River T.  I lead small, 2500. It's going to be very hard for him to raise me with AK, and very hard for him to fold JJ, QQ, or KK. But if I check, he checks the pairs back, and likely bets bigger than that with AK. As played, he snaps and had AJ.

Next fun hand comes where a pretty bad guy limps for 200 UTG, and I limp button with 42dd. Both blinds were pretty bad too, and there is value in raising to iso the bad player, but I would prefer in this spot to just call. The SB raises to 600, BB calls, limper calls, I call. Flop is 654dd. Pretty sweet for me! Checks to me, I go 1300, and both blinds fold and the limper calls. Turn is T. He checks, I bet 4000. I am trying to get his hands like A6 or 88 to fold here, but he quickly calls again. River 7x. He checks. Now I have to decide whether or not to bomb it to get him to fold better.  For one, he certainly can have an 8, and can have a 3, and isn't folding either no matter what. Also, knowing where people are at psychologically helps. Prob 10 minutes before this hand, he led a QQ9dd flop, I call in position with JT, turn is 7d, he checks, I bet, he calls, river 5d, he checks, I bet, he angrily folds what from his reaction was a Q. So I don't think he is in the mood to fold to me again, so I just check it back. He shows K9dd and we are good!  What a good "miss"!

Brutal hand at 500/1000/100, folds to SB who makes it 3k with a 30k stack. I 3b to 12k with AQ, he ships it, I shrug call.  He has the A4o, but no worries, he gets the 532 flop. 60 bigs in the middle in a huge spot there. Feeling completely snakebitten at this point where every time someone gets it in an awful spot they just get there. Had been cruising among the chip leaders, now crashing back to average. 

Not long after, guy limps with 16k, I go 3k with KQs, he jams, I shrug-eyeroll-call, he has TT, and I don't improve, so now I'm short. We jam 15.2 at 6/12/2 with KQ, guy behind says all-in and I'm like uh oh.  He has the AK, and flop and turn brick out. River queeeeeeeeeeeeen. So much more fun on the other end of that.

At 8/16, guy goes 3600, another guy calls, then a guy jams about 20k, we have 35k and look down to two beautiful aces, my first of the trip. Giggity! We jam, other two fold, the allin guy has AK and is drawing dead on the turn. I haven't changed my play, but damn it sucks feeling extremely anxious getting in as a 93-7 favorite!

Then a super insane hand: Folds to me on the button at 2000/4000/500, and I have 75k and JJ.  There are 28 people left, paying 24 spots. I open to 10k, BB is a competent player, and is Asian with a very heavy accent. He raises to 25k. I pause about 5 seconds, and then slide all of my chips in the middle. I hear "caww" and I flip my hand face-up. He says NO I SAID COUNT, COUNT. He goes into the tank, and I say "well, at least I know you don't have an overpair".  He is counting his chips, and the pot.  He has to call 50k and there is 106 in the middle so he's getting just over 2 to 1. I'm hoping somehow someway he is talking himself into a fold with two overs since he is beat. He finally folds what he said was an ace as his only over. Works out fairly well for me to pick up a huge pot without having to fade 5 cards at a 3 outer for my tourney life 4 off the bubble. He decides he should say how much? or ask "count please?" rather than stating a declarative "coun."  

I have a tough spot right after we redraw to 27, so 3 off the bubble. Folds to girl on the button, she opens to 12 at 2/4, we defend BB with 98ss. Flop is KJ5s. We check, she bets 12 and doesn't seem to like it at all. I call with the plan to take it on the river if she checks turn (plus we have some runouts that are good). Elite turn card is the Ts. I am thinking and she checks out of turn. I bet 33 and she tank calls. River is 9x. I check, she jams, I fold obv. She says she was Hollywooding turn, so I assume AQ. Glad I didn't river an 8! 

Now we are short on the bubble, we jam two marginal hands in a row in late position for 10 bigs then 12, something like KJ and 66. Next hand, girl from 98 hand opens UTG1 and we have 13 bigs, 88 and we are 2 off the bubble. Such an easy jam if the bubble is burst, but my fold equity has to be fairly low at this point, so I disgustedly muck. 

We are now in the money, and I jam AJdd for 15 bigs over a raise and the raiser calls with 66. Flop is blank, but turn gives me a flush draw, and I river one of my 15 outs with a J. She says "always the river!!" Very next hand, I open 99, and she jams her remaining 15 bigs, I call and she has 77.  Guy next to me whispers "I folded one of her sevens" which is code for "you won't win this pot." Flop T86, turn 3, I river a set, which of course gives her the straight. I do exclaim "are you fucking kidding" and she says "hey I don't want to hear it from you, you just did the same thing to me."  Yep, good point lady, you were a 52-48 favorite when the money went in and a 68-32 favorite going to the river. I was a 90-10 favorite when the money went in and 95-5 going to the river, but SAME THING.

To be continued....

Yeah. UTG+1 straddle to $50. A caller or two I think, I raise BTN to $200 w JTo after playing nothing but monsters for two hours. UTG calls, UTG+1 reraises to $550. I call and UTG calls. $1700

T99. Both check to me. I shove w $900. UTG folds, UTG+1 snaps w KK. OOPS.

The turn was an ace, which might have made play interesting had I not shoved flop.

Those guys are just really good and w $10k stacks vs my $1-2k, I was gong to have a hard time eventually.

I hadn’t planned on playing but they were short when organizing yesterday and asked me to join. So I get there today and the list is 15 deep... they didn’t need me after all but I was mentally committed.

 

I buy in for $1k with one other guy, but everyone else then buys in for huge stacks. I expected it from two of them, but not all of the others. Then they decide we should auto straddle UTG to $25. I didn’t want to be a dick so, sure, auto straddle. Now I’m playing a 40bb stack!

 

I got a nice double up early but then they started straddling UTG+1 to $50! Fuck! When they started blind raising UTG+2 I had to finally say no... and get fucking dealt JJ in UTG+2 right away!

 

Good guys, but I simply can’t hang with those bankrolls

That's brutal.  I hope I would have cashed out when that shit starts to happen.

Heh, yeah, sorry. Got stuck between if I was trying to do a trip report or a hand review/discussion post.  Will post a couple more interesting hands only for discussion.

Sooner has a really good memory. I can barely remember what I ate for lunch.

I do remember hands pretty well, and have a good memory in general. The post was dramatically aided by reviewing my own Twitter page though. It is majorly tilting when someone wants to talk about a hand and they are like "OK, so it is 800/1600, I raise to 2500" "Wait, how can you raise to 2500 at 8/16?" "hmm, maybe it was 6/12, so I open, or maybe someone else raised and I called? No, pretty sure I raised. Me and a couple guys see the flop, I have jacks" "What are your positions and stacks?" "Uhhh, not positive, just know that I think I raised, and there were either two or three other guys in there. So the flop comes like an 8 and two bricks....."

@TXSooner518 super cool that you play at a high level though - are you professional or is it a side hustle?

Heh, thanks. Nope, I'm a lawyer with a "real job."  Travel to play 6-8 times a year at tournament series, prefer tourneys to cash by a large margin.

really surprised you didnt attack him when he was saying not to raise him.   unless hes done that when hes strong in the past. 

HH?

On the JT hand, just a tough overall spot with the game playing so ridiculously big. I think you have to abandon speculative hands, because we just aren't deep enough. We are basically 22 BB deep, so we have to play a shortstack strat. I'd rather limp the JTo behind, but using your image to bluffraise is reasonable. I especially think if it had gone, say, 175-call in front of you, jamming would be great, as you have a reasonable hand if called, but with your image, it is going to get through soooo often.

When we get 3b, I honestly think we have to either jam or fold. We are going to hate most flops, and we are putting in 1/3 of our stack pre, I dunno that the pot odds are good enough to call there. I would like flatting a bit better with JTs. Once we see the flop, yep, def a jam when checked to us. River T next time, PM Duck Dynasty guy for tips on that.

2:37:30. Note that during the preceding hand, George is telling a story about a nasty bluff he had just played in an earlier session.

Sounds like you got sucked into a game and were understacked. Agreeing to a 5/10 game and buying in for $1,000 should be okay even if the other guys buy in a little bigger but then they bump it to 5/10/25 and all the sudden you are playing a much different game. Hard to just pick up chips and leave a live stream deal. Ideally you add on and compete but have to feel comfortable doing so. That’s part of the reason I never made the jump up from 5/10. The stack sizes can get crazy at 10/20 or 10/25. I wasn’t ready for it.

Watched the JJ hand. Agree, jamming pre is probably better. Flatting is probably better than clicking it back, since we are OOP with a hand that will be tough to play on lots of boards, unless we just decide we are never folding to this guy. I know jamming $1400 pre with JJ feels HUGE but it is basically 28 big blinds in this spot. 

All these comments and the JT comments are made knowing that this was a pretty uncomfortable spot, and I definitely would not have felt comfortable playing in this game. It's not a disadvantage (and can be an advantage) to be short-stacked in a cash game, but it's hard to play a short stack strategy with an amount of money that is a very deep stack in your normal game. I would be unable to make correct decisions at this cash game table. I don't know why the money impacts me at a bigger cash table, but I have no problems correctly jamming A4 over a button raise 3 handed at a FT with thousands of dollars in pay jumps.

Ever have that one hand you wish you could have back? That happened to me in Vegas a month ago. 1/2 NL, I’m UTG and open aces to $15. 8 fucking callers on a 389r flop. Blinds check to me, I bet $25, folds to middle position player who makes it $75. Looking back, I should have seen he flopped a set and he’s charging for straight draws. I call, turn is a king. I lead for $100, he shoves and I call. Yep. He flopped a set. Horrible read on my part.

visiting my folks for thanksgiving and went to the poker room here in Tyler. I’m glad they let you bring booze in because there were quite a few people there that were too intoxicated to play poker. I cashed out when they locked the door up $600. Gave a $20 to the dealers and called it a night. I was definitely getting some hands tonight (AKoff twice, pocket Ks, pocket Qs) and was drilling hands. Nice when that “run good” shows up.

The trick is to have so many of them you can’t remember any single one. Works really well for me.

If you ever have 4 or more see the flop, assume your AA is no good. With 8, you might as well fold dark. Seriously, though, cbet small on flop and check down if you just have to see it through.

Yeah, heads up, I dont' really get it.  Of course theres been debates of "tourney life at stake 4 all ins and you have a/a, do you call?"   But yea, other player had kings.  


The only time you would ever not want all in pre w AA is if you’re trying not to be bubbled in a tourney so you can mincash.
