Message: [QUOTE="BKrywko1, post: 411710, member: 11615"] [I]Or, alternately, "BK's Play of the Day" The last few nights I've been running about a 75% success rate in the $2+rebuy Turbo WSOP satellites - dodge some landmines and build up a nice stack, and these wins just play themselves out (about 45 of us out of 300 won 33 W$ - great way to build up satellite buy-ins...plus you can sell them for cash, if you choose). Anyways, there comes a time when a good bluff (or semi-bluff, as I suspect this may have turned out to be) can really get you going - as the cliche goes, sometimes you have to be willing to die (well...or be severly short-stacked) in order to live in this game[/I] PokerStars Game #5335511592: Tournament #26495945, $2+$0 Hold'em No Limit - Level VIII (200/400) - 2006/06/22 - 22:13:40 (ET) Table '26495945 23' 9-max Seat #5 is the button Seat 1: Papasmurf232 (9940 in chips) Seat 2: USSSmiley (3575 in chips) Seat 3: CDThMan (13055 in chips) Seat 4: ninerfan123 (2855 in chips) Seat 5: Drawing? (3565 in chips) Seat 6: bobthorton05 (3595 in chips) Seat 7: MrCleanMi (3550 in chips) Seat 8: Hock-A-Lugi (3350 in chips) Seat 9: [B]HERO[/B] (4865 in chips) Papasmurf232: posts the ante 25 USSSmiley: posts the ante 25 CDThMan: posts the ante 25 ninerfan123: posts the ante 25 Drawing?: posts the ante 25 bobthorton05: posts the ante 25 MrCleanMi: posts the ante 25 Hock-A-Lugi: posts the ante 25 HERO: posts the ante 25 bobthorton05: posts small blind 200 MrCleanMi: posts big blind 400 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to [B]HERO [8d 8c][/B] - [I]Many times I'll limp in and play "no set, no bet", but I needed to get some people out of this hand and get it down to 2 or 3....and taking the blinds at this level ain't a bad result here, either[/I] Hock-A-Lugi: folds [B]HERO: raises 800 to 1200[/B] Papasmurf232: folds USSSmiley: calls 1200 [I]Hmmmm...merely calls 1/3 of his stack off here?[/I] CDThMan: folds ninerfan123: folds Drawing?: folds bobthorton05: folds MrCleanMi: folds *** FLOP *** [3h Qd Kc] [I]not a great flop for me, but with a call from my opponent instead of a re-raise, let's eliminate a pocket pair higher than JJ - if, indeed, he has a hand like 99 - JJ...or even an Ace-rag, this is going to be a real tough call for him if I jam this pot - so let's try it[/I] [B]HERO[/B]: bets 3640 and is all-in USSSmiley: folds [I]took a long time out of his time bank before folding[/I] HERO collected 3225 from pot HERO: doesn't show hand *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 3225 | Rake 0 Board [3h Qd Kc] Seat 1: Papasmurf232 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: USSSmiley folded on the Flop Seat 3: CDThMan folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: ninerfan123 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 5: Drawing? (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: bobthorton05 (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 7: MrCleanMi (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 8: Hock-A-Lugi folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 9: HERO collected (3225) [I]Really horrible play pre-flop by Smiley - he only has 9 BB left before this hand, so if you're willing to call off 1/3 of your stack pre-flop, you're better re-raising me and hoping: 1) That I'll fold 2) That you actually have the best hand in an all-in situation, or 3) That you're in a coin-flip situation (2 over cards) Certain situations like this one present itself perfectly for a good bluff - take advantage of them once in a while to help your tournament game[/I] [/QUOTE]
