FOFC PokerStars Colossal Squid Tourney, #34 (11/6/2005)
Hello all,
Sorry I forgot to set up a tourney a couple of weeks ago. It fell off the radar while I was preparing for my trip to Europe. I'm now back, and have set up the regular tourney for tomorrow (Sunday) night. Since it's been a month since the last game, hopefully we'll get a good turnout. Code:

Sneaky bastard Radii lured my top pair to sleep with a hidden two pair (deuces and fives) to take down victory in a very quick tournament (1:08). The exponent gods are still pleased with a second place showing, sparing the infidels from their wrath for the time being.
Good game all!

I had a massive suckout early on against WahooMac, I pushed on the turn with AQ suited with a four flush and gutshot straight draw, he called me with top pair, AK and I hit a flush on the river. That was a bad play on my part but I honestly thought he would have pushed earlier with a hand like that, I thought my fold equity was pretty good, bad read on my part.
After that I caught lots of good hands, I hit 2 sets and was able to get my opponent all in each time, everything pretty much went my way. Good tourney all. Last edited by Radii : 11-06-2005 at 09:33 PM. |

Still bitter over my suckout against apoc. AQ v. A2 with an ace on the board. I'd have to go back, but I seem to recall there was two to a flush on board. I expected when he flipped over to see A-suited, but I was stunned to see A2o. He needed a two or a two-out to beat me. He got a fourth to a broadway straight on the turn, giving him six outs. Then the two killed me.
Simms' beat was worse ... a two-outer flush. |

Not that mine didn't suck, but statisically, yours was a lot worse. I was up against two overcards (JJ vs. KQs), so preflop, I was only slightly better than a coinflip anyway. Even after the flop, any king or queen beats me...he just happened to suck out on me in the most painful way possible. |

The exponent gods are known to exact cruel and heartless attacks upon their victims. I mean, who wants to hit an overcard and 4 blanks when you can give the TV viewers at home a little flush action

Actually it was A2c and I had a backdoor flush draw. I played that hand poorly but by the time I had to call or fold on the flop there was so much money in the pot I was willing to gamble for it. Basically the only reason I call there is because losing that extra amount to make that call didnt really hurt me anymore than the hand hurt me to that point but if I got lucky I would have the stack to have a shot at winning the thing. Which if I either won the race vs Z 3 handed or my turned set vs radii's turned flush draw held up I had a good shot at. Its kinda a tourny theory from the fringes of the poker world where taking a -EV gamble actually has a +EV result. Plus since my only income is from poker you have to know im psychotic Last edited by apoc : 11-07-2005 at 02:37 AM. |

In hindsight, I should have pushed all-in after your check-raise. Learn something new every day. I still think you would have called and then would have hit on 5th street anyway, but I would have been more aggressive. Oh well. There's always next time.

I'm not sure what I would have done, I was thinking about that as i waited for you to act, and I hadn't come to a decision yet. Though it is very possible that I would have called despite feeling pretty confidant that it would have been a bad decision. |

I don't think there is anway I get away from avoiding the suckout. I got my money in with the best hand. I've just been on a horrible run lately where every time out I get beat like that -- or worse. |

Has anyone been keeping records for the tournaments? I can put them on poker blog/web site. It will be some time before I get things up and running on the site but it would be cool to have.
Anyway, on the next tournament, lets work on not giving Radii a big stack. When a good player has a big stack, he will pretty much have his way with us.
