In Response to Re: Official - TPT (Team Poker Titans) Tribulations & Cashes : now with Trev in hot pursuit..... Posted by GELDY
errrr - it didn't last long - I ended up bubble boy (story of my life
Ran KJ into AA on a J high flop - shoulda waited I suppose, but i'm always going for the win & not the min cash so its just the way it goes - I win that one next time I have a commanding lead.
yet again i've had a great looking chance in the MTT, then came a limped pot with me in BB and what happens i loose my stack against a better kicker.
fold preflop, Ch/R or min bet. never call all the streets with hands in limped pots.
limpers they do min bets for all sorts of reasons. 1. they can be to discuise the strong hands 2. just to stop you winning it from BB 3. build a pot with the draw.
i pulled a bluff the other day against a limper. today i had two limped pots both played in totally different manners and they both saw a totally different route.
this one i decided to Ch/MR and he calls, the important thing about the min raise is i loose very little so if he shoved i will not loose much when i fold, i also only put a small bit in on the turn as it might make it look weak and i will just fold.
the important thing was i control the pot size and am punishing him for limping, this is what i think is best with all weak hands or draws. maybe the middle pairs just give up or do min bets yourself but with flush draws and straight draws+ overs you might be best to mid raise

the hand i lost was because i did call it all the way. limpers are not likely to ship flush draws, limpers are not likely to shove weak kicker TP and limpers don't want the hero to fold and their is a much greater odds of them doing a min raise. so with your strong hand which can be destroyed by an even more dominant one i think you should do a min open bet on every street to make it look like a weak hand had i did a min open bet he will still call Ax but the the chance of him raising large with Jx is low. i might still loose my whole stack but the chances will be much slimmer now that they were by calling every street and the problem Ch/R is he will shove his strong hand most days leaving us in an awful spot.
Hope you TPTers run golden tonight. I seem to be having a funny week again - can't hit a thing on Sky but cashing on Strs - but I much prefer the Sky games and the banter. I've also had a mixed bag in the live game scene - couldn't do a thing right on Tuesday for a live BH game (which is my fav type of game) yet I managed to last to final 4 in a live deepy freezeout on Thursday. Would have been happy to keep playing in that one but the other 3 wanted to do a 4 way equal split so a very nice £445 each for our trouble.
Looking forward to the Orfy tonight - go go go TPTTTTTTTTTTTTT xxxx
Disappointing night in all the main MTTs tonight. Was mainly playing ok, if a bit aggressive, but got rivered more times than I can remember. Happens.
Night saved again by P*nto satellite - starting to enjoy these. Tempted to play the semi on Sunday night, but no idea what I'd do if I somehow ended up with a seat on the plane...
Good luck all playing.

today i got off to another good start in the main, unlike yesterday i went out before the bubble, unlike yesterday i accepted this exit with ease. i still had the mega stack, the mini and the orford league going at the time.
the mega and mini we not successes but the orford league was good, i finished 3rd.

the wrecker was this, although i did get my stack doubled up just minutes later with AQ vs 1010, the trouble was i didn't build my stack up and the other flips i had were losses
WELL DONE everyone on some nice cashes. I missed last night coz it was my eldest daughter's 18th birthday. PROPER night !!!!!! and on it all weekend coz its my Wedding Anniversary Sunday, but managed to sneak the MEGA in tonight having missed out on Main Sats and last couple of All-ins.
Had some fantastic banter all night with a fellow golfer and then a table full of TPTers........
Neil(HENDRIK). Ryan(WALLER), and pdavo, was good fun and what this game is all about, and even managed to small cash too.....(even though I thought I'd bubbled). Went for GOLD against another big chip stack with 10,9spades when I hit a 10 on flop.....he had JJ.....oh well was fun whilst enjoying a few VODIZZZZZ's and was just about to find TREV when he went out too....but WELL DONE CAPTAIN....nice result
