COMPLETE!!!
I hit the $100 mark last night. I wasnt going to play (I was tired) but just had the urge so I thought I would 2 table 6max to try and get the hang of it. One table was dead and the other one had an ultra Aggro player who shoved a few time on the flop.
I had to wait for a hand to go up against him:
Villain was 50/17/3
No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (5 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Hero (UTG) ($4.91)
MP ($3.13)
Villain (Button) ($6.35)
SB ($2)
BB ($2)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with K , K
Hero bets $0.08, 1 fold, Villain calls $0.08, 2 folds
Flop: ($0.19) 9 , J , 10 (2 players)
Hero bets $0.16, Villain raises $6.27 (All-In), Hero calls $4.67 (All-In)
Turn: ($9.85) 6 (2 players, 2 all-in)
River: ($9.85) 6 (2 players, 2 all-in)
Total pot: $9.85
Results:
Villain didn't show (had JT)
Hero had K , K (two pair, Kings and sixes).
Outcome: Hero won $9.40
OOPS!! Suck out! The crazy maniac actually had a hand. Lets just say my all-in EV took a hit with this one a bit.
After that I decided to play a 27 man $1 SNG. I pretty well folded my way to the bubble and had to shove w/ A9 when I was quite short. I got called by a maniac (more on him later) and another player who had JJ. I hit the A on the turn and trippled up which put me in the top 4. I continued to fold most of the way thru the final table and ended up ITM (5 players) w/o doing much except the occasional shove when I had to.
For the whole tourney a maniac had the lead. He woul announce what cards he had (he never lied) and ran just sick. He went into a pot he had no business in w/ J7 and hit trips to knock a large stack out. Over and over again he would hit the flop, it was unreal.
When we were 3 handed I got into a big hand with him:
No-Limit Hold'em, $600.00 BB (3 handed) - Hold'em Manager Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Button ($11598)
Villain (SB) ($15102)
Hero (BB) ($13800)
Preflop: Hero is BB with K , 9
Button calls $600, Villain calls $300, Hero checks
Flop: ($1800) 6 , 8 , 8 (3 players)
Villain checks, Hero checks, Button checks
Turn: ($1800) 9 (3 players)
Villain bets $4200, Hero raises $13150, 1 fold, Villain calls $8950
River: ($28100) 9 (2 players)
Total pot: $28100
Results:
Villain had 8 , J (full house, eights over nines).
Hero had K , 9 (full house, nines over eights).
Outcome: Hero won $28250
Another suck out! I didnt feel too bad.
1) The blinds were killer
2) He had shoved many times when there was weakness so trip 8's was an unlikey holding.
3) He had been pretty douchey and had run well and sucked out multiple times.
Before this, when 4 handed, there was a short stack to my left who I was prepared to knock out multiple times with a shove. But this maniac kept limping in and when I raised he would call my raise and play independantly. Rather than checking it down he would raise the flop, I would never connect so I'd fold and he would check the turn and river to the shortsrtack w/ nothing. The short stack was able to survive 4 of these scenarios....it was so stupid on the maniacs part.
So, I made it to my goal, but I will extend it to $120. I dont want to go to 5nl quite yet b/c I want to buy in for more than 100bb.
