For The Craic! HU Challenge!

I had just the craziest and shortest session I ever had:

I sat down at a table where a fish that I know is playing. I am opposite to him. The hand being played is something like 48Qr on flop and there is already 20bb and the guy on my right over bet 60bb got one caller and he showed 8x.
I am like wtf is going on here. I am dealt trash hands in the next 4 hands and the 4 of them were over 100bb hands, the guy on my right busted twice and finally won a 300bb pot. I was praying to get dealt a decent hand so that I could enjoy as well!

The 5th hand I got dealt 98o I am cool a hand that I can play:

Should probably have gone AI on flop btw.
kept going like this the next 4 hands (a bit less crazy) and the 5th I am dealt AJo:

After that hand the fish, well the one on my right left and the table broke down.

Just feels good when it happens, especially in a bad month!

fold pre in hand 1.

That's what I would do ofc on normal table but it was so crazy that I couldn't resist!

Just rereading this again. Don't I have massive implied odds here (considering that the previous 4 hands were 100bb pots) that would justify to play that hand?

btw Pleno are you still up for sweating me?

I am a big fan of Marseille AND.....

I'm flying to Manchester tomorrow morning to support Marseille in Old Trafford.
Really excited to go to this fantastic stadium:

First Time ever I have a royal flush:

I checked it down in order to get the 100$ bonus ♦

Thats jsut because u live in Ireland and there is a Saint Patricks Day

Yeah Paddy is my poker god!

After this hand UTG was bitching, saying that I was a donk going All in on river

I think that was because it was quite obvious that he had an A and that all I was doing was giving rake to the poker room. Should I call here or All in since I have the nuts and I shouldn't care about the extra rake? I couldn't care less since I have the nuts but I just wanted to hear your views.

ok 2 hands that I played recently hitting flush on Turn. What I am not sure about is if I should raise Turn to protect vs Ax FD or just call to let him bluff again on river. If I choose the later, which I did in both hands what should I do if a 4th suited card comes?

For Pleno or Cornie, following your thoughts on 4B sizing I started implementing it ♠_cool:. And since I am a fish post flop I wasn't sure if I had to CBet on flop or Turn (once he checked the turn I think he is giving up) ♦

spoken like a true (french) Dublin man "for the craic" hahah good stuff man

Yeah after several years one gets to know the local expressions! ♦

Had a second Royal flush last night!
Keep them coming baby!! Especially with a 100$ bonus each time! ♦

NL 100 update:

My NL 100 Shots are over for this month. I have played 3.5k hands and ended up - 6BIs, probably a or 2 stack under EV (bit hard to say because PT3 All in EV is fecked up - I am sick of this btw I might buy HEM).

Graph below:

I am not too worried about it because I think I played ok. It also takes some time to adapt to a new limit (sizing, aggressiveness etc...) eventhough I didn't expect to be at -20bb/100 :(. I think I ran a bit cold as well (KK vs AA, lower flush so already 2 stacks). I wasn't scare money at all so no pb with this.

This week end I want to analyze a bit more to see what went wrong:
I will review all my hands that I posted in the forums, all the big pots (won and lost) and probably will filter some stuff as well.

So I am back to NL 50 exclusively untill the end of the month as I don't have quite enough BR for NL100 (about 2k € = 2.8k $) and also because I want to pause it and analyse what's going on before I keep playing NL100 . But all in all I am quite happy, I think I played ok and next time I will take shots I will feel much more confident straight away. I expect this next time to happen soon anyways, I am not giving it up that easily ♦

Over the week end I bought HEM because I think that it is easier to analyze my game with it than with PT3.

After I watch this, posted in TLN's blog

I decided to buy Mathematics of poker by Bill Chen that he is mentionning as a must. Let's see if it can bring me some new concepts and new way of thinking!
Well first I will have to get my brain to understand mathematics again ♦

Anyone has read it yet?

Since I am at it i'll put the questions I have on HEM since it looks like they are a bit slow to answer in their forum ♦

Is there a way to import Notes I have on Players in PT3 to HEM?
How do I get my HUD to get the stats displayed from different databases?
How do I save the layout of the HUD on the table so that I don't have to reorganize it every time I open a table?

Thanks

re: the 89o hand, fold pre, I think that is a pretty huge leak.

Just saw before I have already posted this. Sorry mate

Just recorded the video with Camstudio for mbml to find out this:

with the all thing moving left and right and changing color!

I don't know why because I tried it afterwars and it looked fine. Wonder if it could be because the video was longer than my quick tries.
Pain in the neck because I don't know what was wrong.

Anyone has ever used Camstudio?
