MTTs and more hands from TS

So ive been playing mostly online and playing a lot of MTTs. I was doing pretty good, cashing in about 25% at one point and now it just went completely the other way. I don’t think I cashed in the last few days. Played maybe 15 to 20 tournys. Seems I always make the wrong move at the wrong time.

Heres an example. Im on the button, blinds are 100 – 200, I make it 3x with Qd 9d. BB calls, flop comes out Js 7s 3s. He bets 800. I decide to float him, if he doesn’t bet, Im going to bet the turn if theres no spade, if he bets again, he probably has a J. Turn comes Qh, he bets 2000. Now I have just under 5K more. So I go all in, he only covers me by 1K. He snap calls with 7 7.

I decide to stop and go as long as no Ace comes on the flop since this guy has been stealing my blinds for the last 3 rounds. He 3x it to 1200 and I call with Kh 9h in the BB. I have 2700 left behind and hes going to be getting about 2 to 1. Flop comes out Jh Jc 2h. Perfect flop, I can even beat a J. So I go all in, he snap calls with Ah Qh. LOL

I guess I could post a couple more hands from TS that I played in the 1-2 game.

This guy just lost a big pot on a bluff and I can tell hes really steaming. He makes it 18$ to go in late position and I have Qh Jh on the button. I call and everyone else folds. Flop comes Ah 10c 8h. He comes out betting 15$, I make it 45$, he re pops it to 95$ total. I flat call. Turn comes Qs. He goes all in for 135$. The pot is about 365$. I think if I hit a heart, K 9 or Q Im probably good. I think he has like AK probably. So I call. He shows A Q. River 3h.

I raise 12$ UTG with Qs 8s. SB calls and BB calls. Flop comes out Qh Qc 10c. They both check I bet out 20$, SB snap calls, BB folds. Turn comes 10s. SB checks, and then I look at him as if to say and I check behind. River comes a blank. He checks again and I bet 35$ trying to look a little scared. He thinks for abit and calls. I didnt see his hand.

I pick up Ac 8c in late position and Ive been making pot building raises all night, so I do it again, make it 7$. I get a couple callers. Flop comes out 8s 8d 9d. BB bets out 6$, and I raise to 16$ total. He calls, only us 2 left in the hand. I forget the pot but it was medium size … think we only had one more caller. I guess the pot Is around 60$. Turn comes 9c. He checks, I check. River comes Jh. He comes out and bets 20$. I was looking at him, and he looked really confident when he bet 20$ and I really thought he was strong or that he thought he was strong. So I said, screw you, Im not paying you off and I fold my A8 face up. He then shows Qd 10d. LOL

That same guy did something else like that later but I don’t remember the hand.

I raise in Position with A K to 7$. Flop comes out Js 9c 5h. Everyone checks to me and I bet 15$. I get one caller. Turn is Kd. He comes out and bets 15$. I call. River comes a blank. He bets 20$. I said, you have Q 10 .. I fold face up. I know what your thinking, Im getting like 5 to 1. He then showed Q 10. Sick fold, only 20$. Still sick

Tight player ahead of me hasnt really done anything since I got to the table raises to 10$, I make it 25$ in the cut off with KK. Gets back around to him and he goes all in for 85$ total. I start thinking, and people think Im fooling around. I really thought the guy had AA. I said I wanna fold(I had my cards open on the table), but I cant fold for 60$. He flips over AA. I was really happy I had the right instinct, but I guess mad that I called … but that didnt last long when the K came on the river.

I really liked this hand, even though, these hands arent that hard to play when the guy is set up.

Theres a raise UTG I think to 12$, and I have a crazy loose image at this table, my chips have been going up and down all night. I have QQ and make it 25$ total. Everyone folds and the UTG raiser calls. Flop comes out Q J J. He checks, I bet 25$, he raises to 50$(during this hand I was eating Eggs Benedict. .. those things are awesome … I didnt even stop eating … I would bet then go to eat.) I just flat called the 25$ more. Turn came a blank, he Bet out 50$. I flat called again. River came another blank, and he checked, I bet 50$. I think he had like 125$ left. He called thinking that he was beat. He showed K J. Pretty much set up for him.


Another day, same table I raised UTG with Qs 8s, maybe 1 hour later. I made it 12$ with JJ UTG. UTG +1 calls, Cut off makes it 35$ total, we both call. Flop comes out Q Q J. I check, UTG +1 bets 35$(right now I really think this guy has a Q, hes been playing a little crazy) Cut off ask how much chips he has and calls the 35$. The pot is now about 175$ and I make it 100$ total to go making the pot 275$ and they would have to call 65$ more. The both fold almost right away. They had A K and K 10. I really thought the guy had a Q. He didn’t and probably made minimum in that hand.

Heres a huge hand for my night. New player on the table makes it 7$ to go pre and I have 4c 5d on the button. I think we end up being 5 or 6 in the hand to see the flop. Flop comes 3c 6c 9h. Pre flop raiser bets 20$, guy calls, I call and BB calls. Turn is 7d. I think it’s a sick card for me. Pre flop raiser makes it 60$, guy calls, I Go all in for 340$(I cover everyone) Players that called have about 80$ left. I bet that because the BB had about 220$ left and I didnt want him to be calling with a straight draw or flush draw(hes a solid player from what Ive seen). He snap calls, other 2 guys call. Cards come out, preflop raiser has 3 3, other guy has Ac 9c I show my straight, and BB shows Nut straights. LOL .. Im the one that went all in and I was the only one drawing dead. Was funny.


I raised in middle positions to 12$ with 5s 2c, 2 callers. Flop came out Js Qc 8s. I bet out 25$. I got one caller. Turn came Jh. I bet out 35$, he asked how much I had left and I had 75$ left, and then he called. I was pretty sure he was on flush draw, and this was the guy I hit the flush on with my QhJh. So he wanted to beat me. I decided before the river card came out that I was going to snap call if my hand Pairs up except for the 2s. So I had 5 outs to snap call the guy. River was Ah and he install shoved. I folded and he showed Ks 6s all proud of his bluff. I said .

It was a week where i kept having flushes and running into bigger flushes though. I think it happen atleast 5 times where i had a flush and player had a bigger flush. It only happen once that there was 4 of that suit on the board, meaning we both had 2 cards to make our flush. The hands that it happen was 75 twice, once with 74 and the last one with 8 4. Makes you wonder why i even play these hands but ill let my straight flushes speak for themselves.

I might have some more later, but thats all for now.
