I decided to play 2 $5 Sit N Go’s and track (in grave detail) my play. I thought it would be interesting to the reader. I thought it would show my improvement. I thought it would demonstrate how much I had learned from Harrington. Instead, I became a card dead zombie. Eeeerrrrr, brains... (Please comment if you disagree with any of the following.)
WARNING: The cards dealt are disturbing. Do not try this at home. Keep your hands inside the car at all times.
First SnG. Starting stack 1000, blinds 5/10. 10 handed tables. (M:100, Q:avg.)
First hand. AQs in the cutoff. Couple of limpers. I raise to 4xBB. I expect the limpers to call most any raise. They did. The flop is 958 rainbow and the betting and raising begins. Against 4+ players I can not hope to win this pot with 2 overcards. But I did not really even have to think about it as a player goes all in before it even gets to me. I lost the hand and that’s the good news. The bad news consists of the next two hours. Avert your eyes. I wont see a hand this good until... well, never.
I collected all sorts of stats, notes and commentary over the next two hours. I would love to type it all out, really I would. But instead, I am going to list my starting hands…
Ready? Let’s begin: 69o, 57s, 4To, K2o, 35o, 23o, 45o, 78o (could not get in cheap AND out of position), Q6s, 97o, 85o, JQo.
Hey, wait a second. JQo? That’s playable. From MP I call like everyone else (this hand can not stand a reraise). The flop is 223 and there are 5 players seeing the flop. All check. The turn is a 3. I am so done here. Ends up someone played 34o.
A9s – all in before it even GETS to me pre-flop. Fold.
32o, A5o, Q8o, 83o, 9To (flop A6A, turn K), 57o*, A9o
Played the A9o out of frustration. Ended up in a showdown with AJ and got lucky when we split on two pair. I had figured the time was good for a move. I ALMOST tried it with 57o because I thought the timing was good. I decided to wait one more hand. The A9 runs into AJ of course.
J3o, J2o, 89o (BIG raise from the right before my turn to act), K9o
Tried to play K9o because UtG folded and I was first to act. I made a move here and got called by the BB. The flop is 692 and he checked. I made a continuation bet and he moved all in. It was $450 more into a pot of like $800 and I had top pair. I think and decide I have to call here as an overpair would not be played this way. He turns over 77 and I win. I have $1720 now. This was my first showdown. I have won ONE hand.
Get this. I am the chip leader. But not a single player is out. Money is moving from K7o to 57o (i.e. from stupid player to stupid player). I have only played ONE hand to a showdown, and my M* is 17. (M is the number of rotations you can play before you are blinded out). If MY M is 17, everyone else is firmly in the Orange Zone and has to think about making a move. Let the volatility begin!
K4o, 62s, K6s, 32s, ATo
I decide to play ATo since I am on the button. (Play is consistent with Orange Zone play as everyone folds to me when I am the big blind and the very next hand a player is all-in.) I raise 2.5xBB. I scaled it down a little as the blinds as so high and I am only against the blinds. Plus, I have position. The BB can’t wait to get all in and I am forced to call $365 more on odds alone. He flips KK. Plus a K on the flop. This hands costs my the tournament.
I am at $855 now and my M is 4.5. I am a zombie again. Plus, I wont see a hand as good as ATo for the rest of the night.
J7o, 42o, 97o, A8o.
The blinds are so huge and I firmly in the Red zone. I get ideal conditions. First to act after some folds, only 3 players to act after me, and I have an ace at least. I go all in and get a call from JJ. I am out 8th out of 10. And get this. The blinds are now 100/200 and most players still have less than 2000 chips.
SnG II (Return of the zombie)
69s, JTs utg. Dangerous, but I know I can get in the second hand just limping.
Flop is Ts8sAc and I am first to act. I ASSUME someone played Ax, so I check. Ok, this was probably a mistake that cost me this hand. But I am out one BB only. The pot is small and I have middle pair against a probable Ace holding with 5 callers and I am first to act. Everyone checked. The turn is a 4d and everyone checks again. The river is a 9 and a player make a pot size bet. I assume he had the Ace. Since I blew the hand, I decided not to make a crying call. I probably SHOULD have. Lesson Learned. I just was zombied I guess.
9To. In the BB no less. But when a player raises 6xBB I fold it. The flop was 99T. This was the lotto hand I missed out on.
AJo, but a player is ALL IN before it gets to me.
J4o, 64o, 68o, K7s, 64o, 83o, J5o. At this time I have FOLDED my way to third place with $955 of my starting $1000.
I call with 54s, but an AK gets 68s all in. How does that happen?
JTs in the BB. I make a raise to 2x and someone is all in but its only 3xBB. 393Q4. Lost that one. I raised with JTs for deception value and realize in retrospec that it was wasted effort that cost me an extra two bets.
7To, Q7o, A3o, QJo (two players start a raising war), 36o, 43o, T2o, A3o in the BB and cant get away from it due to lack of chips. My M is below 10 and I have only one opponent. He flips over AJo and I suck out on him when a 3 hits. My M is now 20.
42o, 48o, 56o (I win a tiny pot here when I limp and the flop is 578)
45o and again I limp. I let bottom pair go and decided that I am done limping. I am either folding or raising from this point on. The blinds are too high.
K6o, J4o, KJo in the BB. Someone raises to 2xBB and I reraise to 4xBB. I do this because I am out of position and I want to win it right here. I could have bet more. As it is, I get TWO callers. I get pushed out on the turn and 55 hits a straight and takes out KTs. What we he doing there? There was no K, no J and no draws. I may have challenged harder if KJo did not call my 4xBB re-raise and I was heads up with one opponent.
KTs and I call a short stacks desperate all-in expecting Ax. I get to stare at AK and now I am crippled down to $400.
34o (someone with life in them please aim a shotgun at my zombie head)
A8s. All fold to me on the button, just the blinds left to act. I go all in and they BOTH call. They have AK and QQ.
My very best hand of the night: AQs. Pocket pairs: ZERO. Ace-King: ZERO. Flopped top pair : ONCE. Two pair: ZERO Straight or flush DRAW (not even made, just a DRAW): One Only the 9To that I folded to the 6xBB raise would have hit hard the entire night.
So, what did I learn from all of this? That you can be playing smart and losing because of it. A reckless LAG (loose aggressive player) may have been able to at least get lucky on a hand. Me, I couldn’t move at all. Even when I tried to make a move, I would constantly run into AK, KK or QQ or JJ. Yet I never saw a starting pair the entire night much less JJ. Not even AK.
Even so, I will try this again. I would like to hear comment from anyone who thinks they could have turned these cards into a winning situation. Meanwhile, I am going to rent Day of the Dead before the new zombie movie is released next week and commiserate with my zombie friends.

Down $100 and Already Hungover
Bob and I just got back from taking Manhattan by storm. We ate some really bad Mexican food and drank a decent amount of alcohol in a short span. We hit Caroline's Comdey Club and then did a dial-a-shot with AlCan'tHang after the set was done. After the SoCo shots (we had 3 each), it was time for some good old fashioned illegal gambling!
We hit a card room in the Chinatown area (our dealer was Asian too). The guys at our NL table were horrible poker players. If we had more time to play, we would've cleaned up. The term "loose" doesn't properly capture or describe the play at our table. I saw one guy move all in with K7o. Another guy was raising in EP with 85o. There were way too many bad hands shown down to the river. I have a feeling that Bob and I were the only ones folding hands with one A or one paint. It was that bad.
Bob moved all in on the flop with AJ and lost his stack to K-medium. I won a big pot with the Hiltons against Q4o (yes, you read that correctly . . . Q4o). After I raised preflop, some clown reraised me and I moved all in. He thinks for a little bit and in all seriousness, he looks over at me and asks if I want action. lol. I looked back and said, "Yes and no." The idiot called and doubled me up. In the very next hand, I lost my entire stack. I was on the button and it was 3 handed. I raised and got one caller. I bet to a check on the flop and got reraised. I knew the guy was trying to steal the pot because he bitched about me blind stealing when I raised preflop. I moved all in on the flop with nothing. I had J8. The guy called and flipped over J7. Unfortunately, I lost when a 7 hit the board. I was hoping to re-steal the pot but he had me covered and called. Ouch. Our table broke up and most people took off for the night. Bob and I both lost our buy ins tonight but at least we got to piss in a building stairwell before the night was over.

Fish
This weekend I went camping with the family. Now, I don’t like camping, but I made sure that my daughter, who loves fishing, got to go fishing. I was joking with her that we would never catch anything off a dock of a lake where so could only cast into water 3 feet deep. But at age 8, she is undeterred and shows me up by catching a fish. It was about 5 inches long Whilst she goes to get the bucket that I told her we did not need, the fish gets away. She is not even that upset. She just goes right back to fishing. (and the conditions as it turns out are perfect. It is overcast and rain is lightly falling.) I figure she might catch another one of the small fish lurking close to shore. Suddenly she catches a 12 inch bass.
It did not even fit in the stupid bucket. And she caught it with a Barbie fishing pole. She insisted on cooking it and so a neighbor cleaned it while she watched. Mom dipped it in flower and egg and I threw it on the grill with the burgers. She ate the whole thing. I must be thinking about poker too much because she reminded me of the loose aggressive player that builds stacks in a tournament. Ignoring the odds, playing with marginal cards, and landing a big one to make it all pay off. Never has a cliché been so clearly stated at such an appropriate time. Sticking with the analogy, NL is a game of trapping. Beware the 8 year old who hits a big hand.
Its a big bucket too.
I finally figured out posting with a photo...

Home field advantage and being a teenager
Again, if you are not reading doubleas blog at doubleas.blogspot.com then you are missing out on what it means to be a poker teen vs. a poker adult. On a similar note, I have been frustrated that I had not been doing well in larger tournaments. So last night, even though the field was only 16, I experimented with a long game strategy. I would play long game strategy in rounds 1-4, then try to use pressure points (the term doubleas uses to describe what Harrington calls an inflection point) in later rounds. I used the ½ pot bet more sparingly too.
A brief digression. There is strategy and there is tactics. Know the difference. In a cash game, there is little long term strategy. You think you have the best hand, so you play it. In a tournament, there is a long term strategy that MUST influence your tactics. Such as situations that you would clearly fold AK pre-flop. If you have never folded AK pre-flop, then you’re just looking to get lucky. And now back to our program.
Anyway, I think I took another step towards poker young adult last night. I’ve been drinking the kool-aid, but now I added a packet of jello. It is all starting to gel for me. (seemed witty in the shower). I came in with a plan that called for staying away from decision hands in rounds 1-4. If you want to read an entire book on this strategy, read TJ Cloutiers book on tournament hold ‘em. He doesn’t do a great job in justifying in this post poker boom why A9 is the most dangerous hand in poker unless you understand why he is saying it. No matter what the flop on this hand (with the exception of a flop with both an Ace and a 9), you are in decision territory. Right between Jack and Shit. And if your villain raises, Jack leaves town. Get it? So, I played the same starting cards I always do, but in levels 1-4 I was looking to continue hands only where I could be confident I was ahead. AK on an Ace flop. 67 on a flop of 679. Although the latter one could have been dangerous, no one played the dreaded 85o. If you understand the logic of doing this in rounds 1-4, then you can follow TJ when he says that “I only need to finish the level with more chips than I started the level with”. Do you see why now? I do. It’s because you can’t really lose chips this way. It is a great way to “tiptoe through the landmines” as they say. If you are going to Vegas for the big tournaments, remember that. Better yet, buy his book and read it on the plane.
When we reached level 5, I got bumped to the other table. I was doing great at the table I was at with plenty of chips. But this table was different. These guys where playing much faster and much looser. Again, let me digress. Do you as a player really understand the value of “changing gears”? Some players will tell you it’s about deception. I now understand that this is just not the case. I can play deceptive without changing gears. No, that is not it. The value in changing gears is forcing your opponent to change how he is playing against you. If he has only one way of playing, you have a huge advantage. Ok, back to the game. I went to the loose table and I had to tighten up. I was bleeding as I just could not seem to put a hand together. When the tables merged, I had only 400 chips (we started with 300). But I was alive. For the entire night now, I had hit the following hands:
2 pair twice (once on the river, I was already ahead), in level 1 no less.
Trips : zero
Straight: zero
Winning flush : zero
Losing flush : once, King High.
Oh, and if include hands where I folded, but went to showdown, I could add a straight where you only needed an 8 to complete it.
I could have been very frustrated. I could have “reverse tilted” (when you start playing loose because you feel like you’re being shut out of the action) and started panicking. But instead, I just watched and got a feel for what everyone was doing. The others were not changing gears at all and I started to memorize where my spots would be. Then I started taking them. When I knew I could get into a favorable position and I had something, I would make a move. If everyone let me have it, I knew I was going to do it again. A close call was when I bet big on KQo with just the blinds to act. I knew that the gut on my left did not like to call big raises pre-flop against me (since I am a tighter player). But the BB might. I had done this to him twice and he was a loose player, so I half expected a call every time. One time we saw a flop of ATX and I went all in with my KQo. I figured he would fold anything but TP. I was pretty sure he did not have an Ace, so I thought this was a great move. He called and I thought I was dead, but he had Qx. I figured he would not even make the call with A-low kicker! So I doubled up. Ironically, this hand frustrated a player that was not even in the hand, and I made a mental note of it. Next time (same player) I had QQ and he had a marginal hand and he doubled me up again with a loose call. I was right to go after this guy’s blinds. I had changed gears into fast position, aggressively attacking blinds. I was forcing him to make decisions that he did not have to make in earlier rounds.
The guy on my right was a different story. He thought he was the best player at the table. He had been doing well, but he was growing more boisterous. This is an important thing to notice. (Noticing signs are so important. The player on my left was making a comment each time he bet. Suddenly, he limps without a comment. This told me to get the hell out. When another player raised, I knew the reraise was coming before he could grab his chips. He took the hand with AA). Me, I try to play each hand in some sort of similar fashion. Scott commented on my predictability, but he missed the underlying concept. Yes, I am always coming in for 3xBB and non-garbage cards. But I’ll make the same bet with KK that I will with 45s. I think that more than makes up for it. Plus, it sometimes gives me an advantage after the flop. If I was going to Vegas this week for the big show, I would first re-watch King of Comedy with Dinero. I would then set up a mock poker table and practice betting each hand the same way with the same hand motions (See Harrington) and all the while making up patter and imagining other players. I would make sure I could look at AA the same way I could look at 45s. Sound stupid? Could it possibly be more embarrassing then getting knocked?
I changed gears again. I started playing and acting slow. I would put much more thought into each decision. And it was driving players batty. Especially the guy on my right. He would even make comments about my decisions while I was thinking. Stating that the decisions were obvious and other things about time. Time. He kept mentioning time. He was bored! I wanted him to label me in his mind as weak/tight, so I would anguish over decisions like folding a straight draw to a big bet. He was hopefully now thinking that he was going to push me out of pots. He is in another pot for a flop and folds after the flop. He still seems antsy. Now I get AQ and I limp in with 5 players. When the Q high flop comes, I make a weak bet and he raises. I go all-in. This was a pressure point. And I had control. Out of reverse tilt frustration, he calls with bottom pair and pays me off and knocks himself out. The one nice thing about home field advantage is that when it gets late, you’re still not in a hurry to get home.
With 3 players left, the player on my right makes a big raise. I have A9s and the button, but I know that the player on my left is in trouble. He is on a short stack now and it would be very difficult for him to take second unless one of the other two of us completely forget final table strategy. i.e. Pick on the short stacks. So I make a STRATEGIC fold. I would have folded AKs there also. Can you see why? You may say that it seems silly, but I go on to win the entire tournament. You need to be able to put tactics aside and see the big strategic picture sometimes. That’s why tournaments are so amazingly interesting.
Looking back over the entire evening, I am still concerned about how long I waited to change gears. I was really struggling at table 2 when everyone way playing so loose. I know I need to play counter to them and tighten up, but combine that with not getting any decent cards and I just bled off chips. What other defense is there in the middle rounds without a big stack? Sure I could re-raise with decent cards, but I never saw any. I could even reraise with non-decent cards, except I observed that they were calling those raises even if they were behind. I played decent hands strong, but had to blow the escape hatch as I could not get to the pressure point I wanted in a single hand.
End of the night stats:
Two pair : 3 (did not need the second pair on two of them)
Trips : zero
Straight : zero
Winning flush: zero
Dealt the hammer: zero (bummer) but I did get 83 and 93 a lot.
I won without getting great cards. I did have KK once, but no one called my pre-flop bet. Then again, they did not call my A5 or 99 either. I had QQ once also, and won a big pot against AQ. Other than that, I played what I was dealt. I went from the short stack with 8 left, to being the sole survivor. Without a single hand better than two pair. I hope I am nearing commencement.

WPBT WSoP Satellite # 3
Congrats to Wes for winning the 3rd WSoP satellite event!! He came from behind to win the seat. He pulled it out against The Fat Guy. I was rooting hard for TFG. It was his birthday and he had a good shot to win. Otis made a great run at the end and made the final table after being shortstacked. It was great to see Otis play. Spaceman and Bad Blood played well too.
I finished in 53rd place. I won a few small hands early but made a bad mistake midway through the tourney when I bet out on the flop in early position. I lost half my stack when my opponent reraised all in. I folded. It was a bad move on my part. I never recovered. I got horrible cards after that and was the shortstack. I got 44 and moved all in but ran into GameCock's KK. Wow, we're sending 3 people to the WSoP event. Nice! Thanks again to Iggy for setting it up.
