The Poker Thread

Played 6 $7 45 man sngs today, cashed 4 including 3 wins! I'm running good, but they really are super soft fields.

Guess who just accidentally misclicked "bet max" on a casino game and won £220? Give you a clue, it wasn't me and he rhymes with Baron.

Who's Sharon?

Who's Maron?

Who's Darren?

Somehow managed to claw my way back from -$150 to +$100 at zoom poker.

It could have been much more if I didn't keep getting KK when someone else is dealt AA. I looked through poker tracker and KK is actually one of my biggest losing hands so I might need to start folding it pre in certain situations.

That doesn't rhyme with Baron.

(Seriously though, nice job.)

Who's Karen?

Was up to 3rd in stack size with 11 left, had about 257k (after being on 4k 45 minutes previously ) dealt pocket 9s, hit my trips on the flop with a queen coming up... queen came up on river. My fulll house 9s over Queens lost to someone with pocket queens who hit their quads. I actually could've cried

The stylish way to breakeven at 25NL Zoom poker:

I think I'm started to get the hang of it now though and I'm +$400 since yesterday so hopefully the upward trend will continue.

Bad luck. Was the 11th place cash worth staying up late?

Currently experiencing the biggest downswing of my career. It burrrrrns

Another good day at Zoom. Was just about to finish the session with +$120 but then lost $45 in the final hand against two opponents. I had 33 and flop was KJ3, short stack shoves and I flat hoping for the guy behind me to also call. He does and then the turn brings a 4. I bet this time and guy behind then shoves. I think it's possible he has KK or JJ but put him more on AK or a draw. So I call and he has 44, so hit a bigger set on the turn. The short stack has 88 and the river is an 8 so he wins most of the pot.

There was another really sick hand early on where I 3bet pre with AA and some donk decided to call with 24o. He then turns supper aggro on a safe looking flop and turn, so I just flat each time knowing I can get all his money by the river. He proceeds to runner-runner a straight.

My favourite hand of the night was this one:

I'm sure you'll plough through it.
