my flat call here is to try to make me hand look weak, I hate getting checkraised and am trying my best to keep the pot small as possible in case he has some lucky flush draw with maybe AcKx or a flopped full.

One more Hand ? for the day

this is the 30 at night that gets like 3.7k for first.  the villian obv has a ton of chips and has been playing very loose however the rest of the table has been pretty tight.  i havent opened for many pots at all, but in our last sb vs bb i limped, he min raised and i shoved 4k and he folded so i figured he had that on his mind however in general i have a pretty tight image.  what do u do here?

I think i could just do a standard C-bet here (if i c-bet do I do the standard 1/2-3/4 pot bet, or bet about pot and show im commited, or bet weak or what…i dont seem to do anything right lately so i’m just trying to go back to the basics)  and then i’d have to call if he shoved. I do think he’s going with any piece of this flop btw.  If i check i’m sure he’s betting with almost XX, so i could check raise but then i have to worry about him beting like pot and me losing any fold equity. 

help me out on this hand

55 Rebuy. I played real tight during rebuy hour showing down two solid hands. Nobody was going crazy during rebuy period so i dont really have any reads on these guys.

Part 1:

We’re 10 hands after the add on and i get AK and not too sure what i shoulda done.

First off, how much you reraise pre, or do you flat the 450?
Given my reraise what do you do next?

Part 2:

This is maybe 25-30 hands later, and again i have been playing very tight and have a good image. Spotlight is a good player who has been playing very tight also. Bobbele however has proven several times that he is a complete moron and my range for him was AQ+,55+ but i was pretty confident i wasnt dominated by him.

Interesting Hands from the $20 Deepstacks

Well i got my stack up to about 30k basically by playing pretty tight and hitting sets and stacking idiots with top pair.

Then i Won a big pot on a 789 board with 88 when i turned a 7, he had TJ and flopped nuts and we wwer all in on the flop.

afte that i was at 60k

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503338  – i hadnt really been showing down  any bad hands so i thought a reraise would work here.  And even if i dont hit that flop its likely i still take it down, as u can see he wasnt very strong.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503350- this is the hand that began my “tilt” .  i coulda just called the river but still bs.

so then i sat out for about 15 hands came back played A5, lost 10k pot to KQ, then sat out for about 20-30 hands came back and lost a 9k pot bluffing with 56 hh then i basically just sat out for a while until i cooledof.

down to 20k at 300/600  thn i set over setted with QQ vs 66 all in on flop QJ6 and was up to 42k.

Then i reraised a utg 3xer with JJ and the bb shoved with TT LOL i had to call horrid shove by TT and im at 60k

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503366 – he obv played his KK real bad, but i def like how i played my A8 since i couldnt have really put him on KK but still got good value.

LOst a 50k pot AJdd vs KK all in pre, he 3 bet me and i thought he was bluffing…wooops.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503395 – set up flop gg

after that i really started to take control, opening 80% of time when folded to me and reraising with abso junk when the time is right.

hers a lucky hand – http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503412  , was thinking about raising big on the turn…thoughts?

the next hand i won a 30k pot with ace high , guy called me with Q2 high lollllllll, wonder why?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503419 – nice try…..this hand tilted him hard lol.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503435 – was a relief to win this hand

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503462 – prob the luckiest set up of the tourny for me.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503472 – double barrelen

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503487 – loller set up

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503491 – wp 95

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503499 -we’re so  deep its hard not to play everyhand

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503503 – Sit down son

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503509 – not sure how we never got all in….wfp

http://www.pokerhand.org/?1503520 – jus 5 high m8

450k pot AQ vs mathy’s KQos all in pre, he turns nut striaght.
