Pro tip... push with the winning hand.

 

[Highli99]

In the SB. Button limps, hero looks at and shoves, old guy in BB snaps, button folds.

BB turns over ?

Button sees my hand and exclaims THAT'S WHAT I HAD!

Flop

well, we're not dead

Turn
River

And we are out 10th, top 6 paid, whomp whomp

One of the first tournaments I ever played in vegas was a $60 donkament at the Monte Carlo. Probably at midnight. Similar I had a weak king against a weak ace. Both of us flopped pair and got all in on flop. Two other players at the table told me they folded a king, leading me to conclude I was drawing dead. I started to get up and quickly sat down when a miracle king appeared on the river. It turned into a huge troll for the guy with a pair of aces that thought it was locked up. Especially because the other players really believed they folded a king.

TLDR: never fully believe what people say they folded.

Was down $300, then up a little, currently down $150 but my doodling game is on point

 

[Anthony Martino]

Had to settle for a small loss of $400 yesterday

Today will be a bit before I get my PLO seat, max late-regged same tourney as yesterday

45 entrants, 26 left when I entered. Top 5 pay

 

[WedgeRock]

CO is $10 straddle, we call button with

SB a tricky pro raises to 45, few callers, we repot on a 1k stack to $230

He calls, two others call. Over $900 in the pot

Flop

Pro donks $200

Asian male aged 21-60 on my right thinks for awhile and calls

We rip it in for $665

Why are we ripping it in here? Either could be playing a two-card hand and have a 4 hanger? I'd rather wait until we smash the flop before ripping it all in with just an overpair against two players on a paired board. Is it me?

$1300+ in the pot. Paired flops are usually good for aces and we only have about half pot

We're either ripping it or folding given SPR

In the tourney we just call a preflop raise with Aces and a third player comes along and doubles me up on a T-high flop

Down to 18 players and we are up over 70k

I managed to get home in time to go rollerskating tonight. Cashier made my night when she asked if I was over 18.

I'm used to people thinking I'm a decade younger, but this was a new one
