FTP - Daily Double B - 2/16/2007

431/889

I'm actually more proud of my play in this tourney as opposed to yesterday's. Here are the key hands.

This first one is in the first level. I'm in the BB, and it gets folded to the SB who makes a standard raise. I like this hand only because I put the SB on a steal and I called it down to the river to see I was right. This is the first hand I played (evident from my untouched starting stack of T2000.)

golfer714 raises to 60
crazdgamer calls 40 (I just felt like he was stealing. If I miss the flop, I can release without a problem)
*** FLOP *** [Kd 9c Ts]
golfer714 bets 100
crazdgamer calls 100 (he makes a standard continuation bet, hoping that I didn't connect. I hit top pair, and I still think he's stealing. I am concerned for the possible straight brewing)
*** TURN *** [Kd 9c Ts] [3c]
golfer714 bets 300
crazdgamer calls 300 (3c doesn't change anything. If I was ahead on the flop, I'm still ahead. 2 clubs on the board now adds a possible flush draw to the mix)
*** RIVER *** [Kd 9c Ts 3c] [Jc]
golfer714 checks
crazdgamer checks (flush possible, queen makes a straight, too many things can go wrong here. Let's flip 'em...)
*** SHOW DOWN ***
golfer714 shows [7d 5h] (King Jack high) (looks like I was right: stone-cold bluff.)
crazdgamer shows [8h Kc] (a pair of Kings)
crazdgamer wins the pot (920) with a pair of Kings
The blinds are now 15/30

MAEM bets 1,630
crazdgamer has 15 seconds left to act
crazdgamer: hmmm (this is me wondering if I call all-in with my queens with an ace and 2 8's on the board. Although I've invested a fair amount of chips in this pot, I'm not feeling good about this at all. I let it go.)
crazdgamer folds
Uncalled bet of 1,630 returned to MAEM
MAEM shows [Ah Ac] (a full house, Aces full of Eights) (I didn't put her on AA at all. I would've figured a re-raise PF with Aces. The slowplay worked for him/her (the avatar suggested female, but can you ever really know in an online environment?))
MAEM wins the pot (1,630)

crazdgamer checks (the Jack takes away my top pair. If he limped with 9's or 10's, he's ahead. If he limped with AJ, JT, he's ahead. 8's and 3's isn't looking good. Time to bail.)

Didn't play that well at all. After this and the next hand (where I'm SB), I'm down to 975, almost down to 10 BB's, which is the "life support" threshold.

------------------------

At this point, I double up, but for whatever reason, Hand History doesn't have it. It may have something to do with being moved to a new table right after the hand. Anyways...

mac jim folds
pocket dooshes raises to 300 (UTG+1 raises. What do I make of this? I have no idea how to interpret this raise... has he been stealing since before I got to the table? In retrospect, I should've folded until I knew more, but...)

*** FLOP *** [4h Ks Ah]
pocket dooshes checks
crazdgamer checks (there's a 50% chance that a Q, K or A hits the flop. This is why JJ is tricky to play.)

pocket dooshes checks
crazdgamer checks
*** RIVER *** [4h Ks Ah Kh] [3s]
pocket dooshes bets 250
crazdgamer folds (being down to 2000 chips with the blinds at 50/100, I had to conserve chips. Ace or King beats me. While I know we both checked to the river, I was still reeling from the AA over QQ hand. In hindsight, I tightened up a little too much after that.)
Uncalled bet of 250 returned to pocket dooshes
pocket dooshes mucks
pocket dooshes wins the pot (750)
