Darragh Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 also i just used some of my stars FPPs to buy the theory of poker, which should be a good read. Not bad from the near $500 rake I've probably paid. It's an excellent book. As a writer, Sklansky is terribly unimaginative and mechanical, but it's one of the few poker books I've actually found to be of any use. It doesn't talk specifically about any one game (although when it does, it seems to favour stud games), but instead discusses, in detail, a lot of key concepts that span all forms of poker. It's one of the very few poker books that I've gotten anything out of reading, and that doesn't just repeat what's been written in the myriad identikit manuals that are available. Another Sklansky book I'd recommend is "Hold 'Em Poker for Advanced Players", which is not dis-similar to the book you just ordered, apart from its focus on (surprise, surprise), Hold 'Em. None of them will ever take the place on my bookshelf that's held by my copy of Super System 2, signed by Doyle Brunson at last year's Irish Open, though.

Darragh Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Oh, and on the subject of bad beats, I had a brilliant one today while I played a couple of SNGs as I was watching last night's 24. I was in the cutoff (blinds 50-100 (10 ante), 7 players remaining, effective stacks 2k), and when the action got to me, there was one MP limper. I have AKos, and I raise to 400. Button and blinds fold, and the limper calls. Now, this was a micro-stakes SNG (found a dollar-odd left over from the last time I withdrew money, and I've been trying to grind it up as a challenge to myself), so the guy's range was pretty much any Ace, any paint, any connectors, one-gappers or suited cards - that's what I was dealing with. Flop comes AJx rainbow, and he instantly leads out for 100 into the 1020 chip pot. Like I said, I was watching TV, and playing another game at the same time, so I couldn't recall if a precedent had been set for this type of behaviour from him. I raise to 400, he calls. Turn is a blank, and he checks. I'm positive I have the best hand now (I'm thinking his most likely holdings are any Jack, or a weaker Ace), so I bet (IIRC) another 500. An odd bet size, but I'd noticed something about the micro-stakes players - they seem happier to get rid of their stack by calling it off in chunks over the course of a hand, even though it's patently obvious that they're going to be put to a decision for their whole stack later, than they are to lose their chips in one big all-in call. River is a Queen, giving a board of AJxxQ and he checks again. Now I put him all-in, and he snap-calls, showing...KING TEN! Ahh, the gutshot. How I love thee.

Chaz Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Annoying for sure, but understandable since he hit the draw on the flop. It was probably an easy decision for him to chase the gutshot if the stakes were as low as you said. Perhaps should have got it all in either on the flop or the turn if you thought he would go fishing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps should have got it all in either on the flop or the turn if you thought he would go fishing? But, at no point was he getting anything approaching sufficient odds to chase the gutshot! On the flop, he'd need to getting about 5/1 to call (assuming he was going to see the river for free), and on the turn, it was closer to 10/1! I'm sorry, but anybody who chases a gutshot out of position for most of their chips is an imbecile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayor_mike_haggar Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Heh. Nothing like a fish hitting a 10-1 shot on the river, is there. I'm actually quite looking forward to getting ToP, I've not read any sklansky before and think it'll probably help my all round game. The only other poker book I've been reading much of lately is Jeff Hwang's PLO book, which is absolutely excellent, and in fact kicked my transition away from hold em to exclusively omaha cash, which is where most of the online action seems to be at the moment.

I think you misunderstood my post, i'm in no way denying he's an imbecile for his godawful play there, all i'm saying is you're guaranteed to get fishy players such as these on the SnGs, and ESPECIALLY at the micro-stakes you mentioned. Not much for him to lose except time wasted and a dollar or two, the least you can do against these sort of idiots is put them all in if you're convinced they're on a draw, then they might actually consider folding.

mayor_mike_haggar Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 but you don't really want them to fold if they're drawing to 4 outs.

Those things are great tilt relief, I used to use them back before I got my own tilt sorted out. Those guys that just shove every hand (even in real money SNGs) are brilliant, though.

mayor_mike_haggar Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 In all fairness the first one of those isn't really a bad beat at all, since you put most of your money in the flop drawing almost completely dead. With that action on that flop, the least I'd expect to see getting it in would be 2 pair. I mean I really don't see what you can be beating on that flop with a bet and a raise into the pre flop raiser. As for the 2nd hand, you can't really call preflop with only 12bb behind, it's either push or fold there, since he'll presumably shove his entire range on the flop, meaning you can't continue if you don't hit. It seems that you were doomed whatever, though. Unlucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
