Tourneys
Haven't played live in a few days. Haven't been in the mood. My girlfriend made me play a $20 tournament on Party at 3:30 in the morning the other day with her. Wow do the people who play those play badly. I think I ended up 44th out of about 700 and netted $50. Went down to this club in Manhattan yesterday for a freeroll they were having. Ended up 11th out of 80 with only six places paying. Evan cashed. Go Evan.
This one is from the archives, way back in April.

I see two possible interpretations of this hand:
a) What are these maniacs doing?
b) Wow, minhhuule played that hand really well. He bet and raised at every opportunity and got his opponent to put in a ton as a big underdog.
You make the call.

Which club did you play at? (neighborhood is enough)
orchard st.
What are you wasting your time with those $20 tourneys when the Stars Sunday $215 NL had a prize pool of over $470K? unreal ...
Don't worry, I played that one too.
Oh cool. I know that club, it's two blocks away from my apartment. I occasionally play the NL game there.
Easy there, Evan. Those 20+2 tourneys are my bread and butter!
LOL - I hear ya Jodi! was just kidding, I actually like those tourneys as well - especially the stars NL $11 rebuy/ao with guaranteed prize pools of 20K+. You regularly get 1,000+ players with a healthy number of boneheads who rebuy at least four or five times and then bust out within a half and hour after the end of the rebuy period. Nice equity if you ask me. You do have to get pretty deep to make any money though.
Hey Chris - I meant to ask you (if you remember the hand during the Wall Street tourney) what you thought of my all in move with 99 from the BB heads up against Angel (loose/maniac player) who had made the minimum raise UTG. I had him out chipped but he certainly wasn't short stacked. I didn't expect nor necessarily want him to call, but was sure I had him beat pre-flop. If you remember, he had KQo and caught a Q on the flop. I, of course, miraculously caught the nine on the river.
Anyway, I looked over at you after the hand and caught your sly grin - lol. obviously, I got lucky on the river - but was wondering your thoughts on the pre-flop play given the situation.
If I remember the hand correctly, he didn't have to call much more when you reraised, so him folding was not one of the ways you could win the pot. I like the play though. He can very easily have two or three outs with the hands that guy was playing and if he has two overs you're still a favorite. Every so often he's going to wake up with jacks, but you hit your set anyway. =)
