Plymouth Poker Club - General Discussion

[frazer]

Sorry guys had a shocker tonight , if I may let me try to explain my untimely exit. I called a reraise with q10 two of us left. A q and two small cards hit the flop I check to see where I am and my opponent puts in a bet about four times the pot. So he"s missed but has something , doesnt want me to see another card. For me if i think my opponent has missed laying down qq is not happening so I flat call. Anothet blank on the turn 2 or a 3 I think I check again , another huge bet . So at this point I"m pretty sure that two pair or trips is out because the bets are far to big , if I fold I lose , I figure only aa or kk can beat me so like any gambler I bet he hasn"t got either and go all in. My opponent calls and shows aa , goodnight Irene . So like I say sorry team I"ll try harder next time . Frazer.

One and all,

An absolutley brilliant nights play by everyone and especially well done to Marc on taking it down.  I knew a little positive thought would prove useful and so it did.  A shame that Bristol gained some points, but losing even the smallest of ground at this stage is a massive loss in reality.   6 games to go and I call for maximum effort over the comng weeks to reinforce what has already been a great season for us.

Once again, well played everyone.

All the best,

Dave

PS.

Feel free to rail my efforts at DTD in a couple of weeks.  Entering the omaha and ME - will attempt to play the HORSE if no longer in the ME.

Well played last night Plymouth, still on your coat tails though .
Very enjoyable game played in the right spirit with plenty of banter. Think the top 2 now are looking over their shoulders at the south west charge, see you in 2 weeks.

Thank you Simon, well played Bristol and see you next time,

Dave

Hi all, good game on sunday night, I am amazed we did not get a point out of that but I think it was proberly my fault, I feel so bad about the hand I got knocked out with I still can not stop thinking about it. For those of you who did not see it, it went something like this:

12 remain, I have 25k, chipleader has just slightly more, around 27k ( I think) with the rest of the field way behind us closest has 12k (I think), the action is folded around to the small blind (chipleader) who raise"s about 3 x bb, I am in the big blind with  :as:  kh so I reraise and he calls. The flop comes down  ad ac :: I raise and the sb pushes all in, I did not really want to risk everthing at this stage but convinced myself he had a raggy ace, so I called. He then shows  ah :: for the full house to have me crushed, what happens next is a bit of a blur but I am pretty sure the turn was  :: and the river  :: to give him quads to finish the job and out I went. I was gutted.

I just cannot stop beating my self up over this,should I have folded?, could I have folded? The scary thing is, I think I would play the hand the same way If it happened again, am I wrong? Your views on this would be great. Note: The suits may vary slightly from this but hopefully I remember correctly.

Thanks
Andy

Just noticed we actually won it, see my head is gone from all this   well done all  

Dave, I hope to be sat on a table close by you in DTD and not railing, I am also playing the ME

[kaysing]

Excellent, see you there Andy.

Regards your exit hand.  I witnessed it and was just as disappointed as you.   In a solo MTT game with similar chip stacks that close to the bubble I  would have considered long and hard before possibly pushing (main concern would be that he made the bet).  However, this is just a personal view and other people"s decision may be different depending  on how they play close to the bubble - go for the win or just make the money and then open up.

As this is a team game whether I played the hand or not would depend a great deal on how many other team members I had with me.  In this case with a good showing I would have pushed as success would have put us in a very strong position to win the 3 points.  However failure to win the hand would not be disasterous for the team, as indeed it proved to be!!  So to sum up, well played, not a bad move but always be aware of how many other team members are still in the game.  Don"t lose sleep over it!!  The only thing to consider perhaps was that he made the all in bet which makes it easier to get away from but it is difficult to do so with trip Aces and a great kicker.  Always beware the pair!!


All the best,

Dave

Hi everybody, sorry for posting my message here, but I"d like to introduce myself. My name is Fabio, I"m Italian but I"m living in Plymouth. I play poker - both live and on line - quite regularly since three years ago. I recently joined APAT in order to participate, as member of the Italian team, to the coming tournament in Luton. In Plymouth I"m used to play at the Grosvenor (which is not exactly the best poker gym ever, I know... ), while on line my favourite PR is FullTilt.

Well, nice to meet you guys!

PS: ChipClick, maybe I"m too donk, but I"d never fold a hand like that at that stage of a MTT...

[plstrider]

Keep missing the sats or timing is wrong,will get to an apat event 1 day

Thanks guys, that makes me feel a bit better about it, Paul why are you not playing DTD?

Hello Dave,

thanks for the warm welcome. I"ve to admit that I really hate the Ipoker circuit, but why don"t give a try to BlueSquarePoker also? Strangely enough, the structure of these tournaments looks good.

Could you please point me to a calendar of all the upcoming events? I"ve seen that only 4 players can participate to each round and of course I don"t intend to steal a seat to any of you guys. So, please consider myself just as a possible substitute.

Cheers,
Fabio

PS: do you know if might be possible to have some special sign up/first deposit bonus on BlueSquarePoker?

[kaysing]

Fabio,

We would love to have you aboard.  You wont be taking anyones place as everyone is welcome to play in each of the 20 rounds.  The top 4 players from each of the top 3 regional teams go through to the national online final.  Everything you need to know can be found under the "Online National League" section of this Forum.  Essentially join Blue Square and sign up for the next APAT regional game for the South Division.  The passowrd is "leaguepl".  To ensure all players are aware that you are playing for Team Plymouth join the team under the Plymouth section "members join up here".

See you at the tables

Dave
