God live poker is so stupid. Good line vs Shak. If river blanks you call right? How do these fucking clowns always find AA.12/04/07

Ya I'm calling 6K or w/e on a blank cuz she probably thinks QT is the nuts or something.12/04/07

Hand #1, do you think she donk bets you with a flopped straight? (PSB no less) Raise that flop! You're beat by the river.12/04/07

I read your hand 1 and felt you played it too passively on the flop and turn. I would have found out where I was at, if not on the flop, definitely on the turn. Just curious why Bond like your play too. Hmmm. I 100% fold on the river given the A. But... iyou are planning on calling 6k if the A doesn't come, why not raise 6k on the turn. Especially give the likelihood of one of the flushes or straight draw coming and then you are lost.12/06/07

I'm still pretty happy with hand 1. When you're this deep you have to play carefully sometimes. If I raise the flop I can presumably fold if she reraises, though my impression of her is that she's pretty bad and I'd be at least a little worried she accidentally bluffed me with KT or something. I feel like I'm not losing much value against KT or QT this way, in fact my best bet to win a big pot against those hands is probably to underrepresent my hand this way. Finally, the times I'm beat I don't lose too much and I get to see the turn and river. While I only have 4 outs to improve if she does have a straight I can win a big pot if I catch, or perhaps the ten pairing will get me to showdown cheaply if she fears a fullhouse. Of course if she has KT or QT and we both fill up it's jackpot for me. Basically, using position to control pot size when this deep is pretty sweet.12/09/07

Venetian $15K Report

That was probably the worst 2 levels of poker ever. I didn't win a single pot that had anything in it. My table was actually pretty good. Other than Greenstein, Juanda and a couple good internet players, the other guys were awful. Here is what I can remember from the trainwreck, sorry if I leave out details I'm trying to do this quickly so I can move on to pretending today never happened.Hand 1: 100/100 30K chips. I'm sure I've spewed off a bit already. Beth Shak limps in MP, I make it 500 with KQo and she calls. Flop KQT 2 spades, she leads for 1200 I call. Turn 2c making a backdoor flush draw, she bets 3K I call. River Ac, she bets 6K I fold. Given that she bet this river I'm guessing there's a pretty good chance she flopped the straight, either that or she had like KJ I guess. I didn't really feel like bloating the pot earlier since her line seemed strong and even she might fold a lot of worse hands to too much action.
Hand 2: There's like a million hands where I call once and fold to further action which are pretty sick. I basically always flopped something marginal that I just couldn't call down with and lost my stack a bit at a time. Either that or I fire the flop with nothing and get called then give up. It was basically awesome.
Hand 3: AllusivePinkBunny shoves 6600 at 200/400, I call with JJ and 5700 in the SB, terrible old guy on my left obv has AA in the BB and we both get to go home. Back to Bellagio tomorrow I guess. Weeeeeeee.
