No offence Tyrannic, but advertising you being underage for both drinking and gambling is not something that poker needs at the moment in my opinion.

The way you mention your being sacked from 2 jobs within 3 days hints to some amount of lack of maturity necessary to be legally entitled to gamble.

While my comments will obviously not stop you in your poker endeavors I wish you good luck(!?).

I posted my rough version first so read on for a more grammatically correct post.

Ok so I stopped a little early tonight b/c of this sick thunderstorm rocking my area. The internet connection was on and off. I started playing only three tables and made 20$ with ak offsuit hitting a board of k5k and then trapping a ongame aggressor. I then rebooted and fired up one table b/c i wasn't too sure that I'd have internet throughout the night. These two hands changed my ok bland initial poker post into a damnnnnn right sucka session. Both hands are against the same villain.

hand 1: this may seem like a risky play but I'll walk you through my thought process and maybe you'll agree or maybe you won't. Either way I'd like to hear some opinions.

I felt that if villain had AA or KK he's pushing preflop. qq and ak suited may warrant a call. I felt/hoped that aj and jj were a longshot and thus I pushed.

Hand 2: well he berated me after the first pot claiming there was no way I should've made that play and that JJ was a likely hand. That statement made this hand ever so sweet.

sianara for now BTP

that second hand teaches you a lot about when not to bluff make sure you look at it from his point of view and never make the same mistake

First off, I'd like to welcome the pinnacle of the BTP hierarchy to my journal(kennyG and excession). Much respect.

On to poker

I woke up and then played an hour session(5-tabling) to get my mind working.(1pm-2pm, EST).
Thankfully hollywood poker feels like it owes me something, and delt me a similar hand from last night. I guess not making fun of james woods and their other D-list celebrities has finally payed off!

Hand 1: Deja vu' baby. The weird preflop re-re-re raise was due to a slider malfunction. But it worked out so I won't b****.

SB checks, BB checks, UTG+1 bets $1, xTyrannicalx raises to $4, CO folds, SB calls, BB folds, UTG+1 raises to $7, xTyrannicalx calls, SB calls.

His cute little min-raise on the flop convinced me he had some sort of flush. My instincts were telling me the same thing so I didn't push(which maybe I should have?). Thus, I tried to see the turn/river for as cheap as possible and boat up.

Turn: ($26, 3 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 bets $5, xTyrannicalx calls, SB calls.

River: ($41, 3 players)
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, xTyrannicalx bets $12, SB calls, UTG+1 folds.


UTG's change from being the bettor to checking on the river showed me that he wasn't so sure he had the best hand. So I made a small value bet. Too small, I feel I should've bet 20 or so. Well next time I'll try and not phaak this up. UTG claimed in the chat he folded the nut flush but I doubt it. I feel he was drawing to the nut flush making a kind've block bet on the turn which I feel helped me by keeping the action low relative to the pot size.

Results:
Final pot: $65
xTyrannicalx shows 9S 9C
SB shows 6H QH

God bless, I'm gonna fire up the George Foreman grill for some lunch.

So I played a little bit more today but nothing hardcore. I think overall I lost 3 from earlier today but overall was +66 or so. I did clear a chunk of bonus points. I may play a bit later but I had a full meal and may pass out. Im not very happy with hollywood as some money was stuck in a frozen ring table.

The past three times I've had pocket rockets I've stacked an opponent. The first two have already been posted, here is the third.

Villain had a pretty big draw here, but you know I can't complain with the way it ended up. I can't agree with his raise preflop from UTG, thats pretttty donkish.

I may play a bit more later during prime time, wish me luck.
