Is this the twilight zone? Did I miss page one? What's this about Rose and her start date, I feel so confused....Well I played the 100K on Merge (satted in) and a few other games, all the Sunday gtds are up so some nice games now - hit the bad side of variance in most everything (didn't play much so no surprise there) but ended up $10 thanks to a $5.50 45 turbo 3rd place. My bankroll on Merge still sucks - 4 months of running consistently below EV will do that. :(Would anyone have played this any differently - he was pretty tight but raised bvb and btn v blinds a reasonable enough amount. After I 3 bet which I think is fine I was committed, so pretty sure just unlucky but any opinions are welcome.

absolutely fine with these stacks.raise - calling >> shove here and folding shouldn't happen.

[DiamondDixie]

The only thing I'd do differently is 3 bet shove instead of just 3 bet raising, with my stack I think that seems better. It wouldn't of made any difference in the outcome but I'm not worried about the results just how I played it.

[seacucumber]

Fairly standard BvB and I like your 3bet raise instead of 3bet shove.

Here is another hand I'd like some opinions on - I'd post in strategy but no one seems to go there :-)This was a PokerVT home game for play money but prizes from PVT for top spots and HH review for top players for the month. Villains blind defense is kind of wide imo? Also pot odds were 2.1:1 after my shove and if he put me on TPTK or TP 2nd kicker mb or a set or overpair, which is all that made sense since I'm pretty much a nit, he had 33.5% equity against that range after my shove, he snap called me. If you add bluffs with AK or AQ then it's more like him 41% me 58%. My 4 bet shove is aggressive but I really didn't put him on a set or anything better than TP worse kicker or, what he had, a draw. Not worried about result just questioning my play and his, I don't have much problem with mine actually and I see where he's coming from but I was just interested in some opinions. Playing draws is one of my biggest weaknesses and this is a decent draw example imo.

So, how did villain get such a big chip stack?? Was he making plays like this the whole time, or did he happen to catch some monster hands? Even if he played ATC against you HU and planned on losing, he still would have a respectable chip stack for the table. Also, you said you were playing pretty nitty. Where you playing LP nitty as well, or where you opening up a bit? Not that it should matter after the flop here, because you said he snap called when you shoved. This was a play money game, but even with PokerVT members, should have taken it a little seriously. Ballsy snap-call to me, but with his big stack, I can kinda see it.

welcome back Shaggand Lisa I have a few profiles here but my 1st one was from Mar 30,2005

[donk4life]

that was your original join date correct?

[seacucumber]

Both played the hand fine imo. After villain checked-raised on the flop, it would be a mistake for him to fold to your shove getting almost 2.2 to 1 to call.

[DiamondDixie]

Welcome back shag! Thanks I agree with his stack he could well afford to take the gamble and getting 2:1:1 on a call with an OESD and BD FD he had a lot of outs. I was running about 22/18 - my standard stats pretty much, I do open up more in LP and I had over 100 hands with him. He said he put me on a tight range here but I have no idea why he would. He got his stack by getting super lucky, like he did here.

[Roseyg]

Oh hi there

Welcome back shag!

Thanks Guys and Gals!! Glad to be back. Spent the past 6 months reading Daniel's books, and lots of CardPlayer and Bluff. CardPlayer is a great strategy mag BTW. The live game they had there was the worst structure and players ever. Basically Bingo Poker. Would luck up sometimes and get control of a TV late at night and catch some WPT Season 9, PAD PLO, and some of the WSOP from this summer. So, where are most of the US peeps playing at these days? I still had $1.30 in my Cake account from a year ago or so. Been grinding on that. Ready to get back. After reading/studying for 6 months, I feel like the light has come on a bit brighter.
