BL Poker Tournament: Weds 18 Feb 8pm - details in 1st post

[Infinite Jest]

When there's only 5 people playing, you've got AK then likelihood of someone having AA is pretty small!

Yes, although the likelihood increases if they've already re-raised. I think ufo raised to 100, mugabe to 200, and I came over the top with my short stack. Would have been worth it if I'd got heads-up against a lower pair or AQ. But given the re-raise, I could probably have folded PF too. Or called it (but then would have gone broke on the flop if I hit, and been down to 650 chips if I missed and folded, so.....).

I can't remember the spot exactly, would have the check the hand history.

I hate calling with AK planning to fold if i miss the flop...

well ufo is gonna put it all on youtube apparently so we can all watch it there if we please, lol

Yeah. I'd rather raise and either force someone out, or (at worst) get into a race. If they've got KK or AA then I'll pay them off.

It's taking ages to convert over a 100gigs of RAW AVI fackin video.. Give me a few hours.

 

[ufo_hardcore]

back to the beginning again, lost the profit again, need to watch some tv to calm me down.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Uploading video now. I'm only uploading the last 4 minutes unless someone wants the whole lot. (Just 'coz everyone wants to see TheKid lose his money mainly..)

I think the whole lot is nearly an hour and half though!

AK is called Anna Kounikova for a reason........

Pot. Kettle. Black.

that phrase does not make any sense at all in this situation

 

[Mugz]

someone from the thread i posted in north american social has replied saying they will probably be up for it next week

I thought you made a silly move with that AK Infinite Jest. Didn't really understand why you re-raised and left a couple hundred back despite being commited and having little choice to stick it in on the flop.

I just don't rate AK that highly though, it's not a re-raising hand for me with 2 players already in the pot when one who's already raised.

Then again I may be slightly confused about how that hand went down.

I said quit while you still had some cash otherwise you'd lose it. And you did!

 

[TheSpade]

It still doesn't make any sense.

 

[ufo_hardcore]

Bah, doesn't relate to the poker game we had. mugabe said he was playing another poker game to make his money up. I told him to quit while he still had some funds, else he'd lose it. And he did.

Bah, fuck it. http://www.goenglish.com/ThePotCallingTheKettleBlack.asp

 

[Mugz]

pot kettle black implies i was being hypocritical, like if i had told you to withdraw winnings and then i didnt and lost my own winnings

 

[ufo_hardcore]

Ignore me! I'm a huge tool!

 

[TheSpade]

No I'm a huge tool!

 

[ufo_hardcore]

No I'm a huge tool!

Black & Decker or DeWalt?

 

[The Kid]

I just don't rate AK that highly though, it's not a re-raising hand for me with 2 players already in the pot when one who's already raised.

Hence why it's called Anna Kounikova....looks nice but doesn't win much.

But you are very unlucky to hit AA.

 

[TheSpade]

Every time I had a hand no one wanted to play!
