Worst Play ever in The Hague
HOla,
So i went to The Hague today to check out the casino there. Went by the War crime jail and stuff... Its a pretty city. They have a tourney every other Monday, and a leaderboard for it. The structure of the tourney is really really good, one of the best I have ever seen for a tourney of this type. The type is a 60 euro buy in with unlimited rebuys for the first hour. One starts with 500 T$ chips. One may also add on for 50 Euros at the end for 700 chips. 50 people enter this tourney.
First hour: Didint put any money in the pot ever except blinds. The rest of the Table all call preflop all check every street untill someone hits something, they go all in and three people call. Wow! After the break at the hour, I have 1080 chips.
I bleed to 560 (AK no good), then I double with AT vs a guy who limps every hand any position.. he had Q4sooted.
Two hands later, I pick up AQo. I just short of triple the blinds. One person calls. He isnt a total fish, but an easy read.
Flop: AQQ. Ok, nice hand I think... CHECK.. He thinks for a second then also checks... Turn is the 7s. Now a three flush on board. I look at my cards and pretend im checkin for the spade, then shrug and bet the minimum (120). He raises me to 500, I push he calls. He has AKo. I double up nicely.
VERY NEXT HAND i get AA in early position. One limper (for 120), i do an awesome raise.. 480, get reraised all in by the button. The Limper CALLS the all in, then its to me. I guess I havent played enough live tourneys recently or something, cause I blow my load and go all in. Limper folds.. .Wish I trapped him, thats my style, O WELL, at least his dead 2k is in the pot. All in guy has AKo and I win a huge pot and am among the chip leaders.
Table breaks.
New table, first hand double up shorty. 2nd hand double up shorty. Both were flips.. wat do you do, I only lost T$ 1000 so Im still lookin good on my 6k.
3rd hand at new table, Q5o in very early, I triple and a half the blinds (BB is 160 now). One guy makes the minimum reraise. A young morrocan guy.
I call for the odds. Flop come KT4 rainbow. I check, he bets 500 weakly. I push all in, he calls with AA before Im done sayin '' Ik ben all in''(my new favorite dutch expression of the nite) . I go oh well, nice call maybe I can runner runner you. Turn J... Woo hoo, now im openended!!! I scream ACE but the River is no help.
This is when the real lame thing happens. I thought the kid had 3k in chips or so b4 the hand, but he had hidden 6k in his stack of 500 chips, that no one could see. He literally built a fortress with those chips inside and invisble. Pretty BS IMO, but its my fault in a way for not asking... But hey, my play was super checkraise shove bluff, hopin he'd fold anything other then AK, AA, KK. I didnt want to sweat him out and get him to count. Just wanted to bulldoze a hand like 99 or AQ or even JJ. I had a few friends at the table and we all laughed our asses of though... It was really funny. Before I left I asked everyone not to tell Marcel about that one!
I must say, when one has an image like I do here... I basically make myself to look and seem like a pro (hat, glasses, turtleneck, funny postures on the chair, chip tricks, card shuffles and you get the picture) plus being seen with noah and marcel helps my reputation alot.
So when i flip over that hand, the expressions on peoples faces, especially those people that I am aquainted with or have played with before is truly priceless.
Morale of my poker lesson is its great to be ultra aggresive, but if they push back, just turn off and fold.
I am heading to Barcelona in a week for the EPT in Barcelona. Gonna be alot of fun (we rented 2 six person penthouses on the beach next to the casino). I am really gonna try my hardest to take down a tourney or two or three. I am already ranked in Europe, and boy do I ever want to pump it up!
Yea... I havent posted anything worth reading in a while so I thought Id try.
GL to all
