Impaired?

Welp i played again this week at my uncle's game. 11 people i came in fourth.
Basicly just sat around for an hour. Think i played about 3 hands.
Then after the break 3 people went out, and i began to get involved a bit more.

Did extremly well untill the blinds got to 3000/5000. i had 20,000 in chips.
Which oddly enough was second in chipstacks.

My uncle had 14k, and 2 other people were below 10k. One man had about 50k.
Blinds were intense. silly, but thats how they like it.
2 guys got all in and when they flipped up their cards one guy had 55, and the other had j8 of clubs.
Well before they dealt the flop a couple of people said what they had, and i said "well my hand didnt help his." Referring to the man with J8, i had folded 2 clubs.
This somehow upset the hell out of him. He started talking shit about how its against the rules to talk about hands during the hand........ i was in awe of the stupidity.
The action was done and i was the last one at the table to mention anything, and i didn't even say what i had lol.
I told him it was what it was. which pissed him off a little bit more.
Next hand i had AQ. He pushed me all in. Had no doubt i had the better hand, but we were to close to the money.
Laid it down on the flop after he called my 5k raise.
left me with 10k.
Ended up busting out with K10 with 4 people left.
Thinking back i probably should have pushed all in with the AQ pre-flop. But i figured he would re-raise me if i didn't.
No complaints here.

Goodluck in vegas Jason.
Wish i could go :).

Well as you can imagine there isn't much poker action down here.
Ive played one time since my last entry, sad isn't it?
Did a single buy in, no rebuy no addon nor double.
Normally i would have definatly took the double add-on, but ive been out of the game so long it's taken a back seat to everything else. So when i got a call 10 minutes before addon time for an invitation to hang out with a friend i decided to bomb out of the tourney.

The sad thing about poker is when your desperatly needing to get lucky to stay in a tourney your most likely going to bust out with poket Kings to some idiot with a couple of 3's.
But when your trying to bust out so you can leave you start winning. The 10 minutes following my decision to bust out I was dealt AA, KK, KK, and QQ...... we went from 11 people to 6 people before i finially lost. me taking out 4 of them.
Got in with J8 of clubs against poker Q's. Hell i was half way out the door when the lady called.
2 clubs on the flop.
i left during the hand lol.... my uncle called me to let me know her QQ held up.

Well i wish i could have an interesting poker story but hell i just havent been playing.

hope all of you are winning.

Well i havent had my computer hooked up since ive been back.... and i havent missed it to much.

Not to say ive been computerless, but i only come to pokersoup from my computer... new tos? this is getting heavy :) its almost like they threw some money into it lol.
Well Ive been playing a lil bit over at my uncles.

He has tourneys every thursday, cash games every saturday. I won the first 2 times i went, lost this last time.... its horrible.

This is a game where skill means nothing, decisions mean nothing. Nothing means anything.

Whoever can wait the longest to pick up a big hand wins. and if it never comes then you lose.

I am just going to tell you a small story. very small.

So, im on the small blind with a J3 offsuit. 1 caller mid position, he has a K5 offsuit.....
im not telling you this from a hindsight point of view... i actually could see his cards!
When he lifted them off the table they were exposed... but noone saw them but me.
It gets to me and i glance over at the big blind to see if i can steal this pot....
AND BAM. This idiot exposes his hand to me too!!!! He has a QJ offsuit.
I move all in immediatly.... assuming i just got 4k in chips for free....
Wrong.... QJ calls. Not because he knew i had a J3, because i assure you... he nor anyone else saw my cards.
But because he has 2 face cards and at this game ANY 2 cards can win.
I rebought and had my KK cracked by a 10 5 and i just left.

If you wanna see something funny come on down to bama and wait till you see 3 people limp into a pot and an ace come on the flop.
You will see 3 people all in and the winner will generally win with a pair of aces "7 kicker plays"

I played in a low limit cash game last night, a version of horse.
Holdem, Omaha hi/lo, and stud. 2/2/1.
Its a 3 hour session from 7-10 and we all go home.
Well everyone wanted to keep playing, i think i got out at about 11:20ish, no clue how late they played.
I maintained chip lead the entire night, was up to 85$ from a 10$ buy in by 9:45.

In 30 minutes that followed i played approximently 7 hands.
I lost all 7. In each hand I put the person all in on the turn, and had him between a 10%-20% draw.
by 10:15 I had 15 bucks left.

I think my Most memeroable hand, even though i remember every single one of them lol.
was this :

I have 33.
Limp in to the flop.
Flop comes J36.
Rainbow.
I bet out 1.50. Get raised by Brent to 3.
I slow play call.
Turn comes J. Bingo.
I bet, he raises, i re-raise all-in, he calls.
He has KJ for trip J's with a K kicker.
I have a boat 3's Full of J's.
River was a K.
:(

2 or 3 hands later he gets sucked out on the same exsact way except it all happend on the flop.
This kid that beat him put his money in with trips needing a K for the boat. But he had 2 cards to go instead of 1.
So its a suckout, but he had 2x the chances to win as Brent did the hand b4.
so as he is bellyaching about getting sucked out on, i say "You lost those chips the same way you got them."
Which apparently stuck a nerver :). Because he disagreed.
He said and i quote "All you had was 3's full of jacks, I had trip jacks. You were barely ahead."
The table all giggled. lol.
So for anyone new, just know, a Flopped boat barely beats turned trips.

I have played maybe twice in the last month or so.
Nothing big.
Just kinda coasting in cruise control. Haven't had much motivation to play here of late.

Hope everyone is winning :).

So i went back to Cad. Poker for the first time since i won it.
Didn't go so good.
Lost a double buy-in, rebuy, and addon.
I had a fairly easy table. Tight players on one side, calling stations on the other.
My majior downfall was i kept pushing on coinflips because i assumed they would fold.
Unfortunatly for me everyone at the table enjoys to flips coins.
I dont mind loseing a coin flip if im the one who bet it.
The only really notable hand of the 3 hours that I played was against our silver haired friend Dave.

I am on the Big blind with, for the sake of this conversation, an undisclosed hand. Lets just call it an 8 2 offsuit.
There are a couple of limpers, I check to the flop.
The flop comes Q J 7. Now i know i have nothing here. But this is exsacly the kinda flop i wanna steal.
There is approximently 800 in the pot. I bet 600. Hoping to represent a weak Q.
Everyone folds except ol Dave. Now I know he has a J, Hell he prolly knows i know he has a J.
The turn comes up a 7. BINGO QJ77. Even if he didnt gimme credit for the Q he has to concede to the idea that the big blind has a 7 right?
the pot is now 2000. I bet 1500. Dave calls.
Wtf??!
all he has is a pair of J's?!
River card is so perfect i couldnt have planned it better myself. Q!
Now the board is QJ77Q.
And i got ol Dave pegged for a J10.
I bet 2500 into a 5000 dollar pot. A bet that says "please pay me off" keep in mind the blinds are 100/200 and we started with 10k like 20 minutes before this hand.
After a couple minutes to think. Dave calls me...... with a Jack.
if i have 7 2 there he ends up with about 5k chips left over.
Mother fucker, Nice call Mr. Dave and i hope your wife finds out you werent at costco.

Well Saturday night we played a 20 man tourny up in san mateo.
1 rebuy per person.
I played fine for the first hour, then at the beginning of the third round i made a pretty silly mistake.
I floped top pair, turned two pair, and was all in on the river.
Unfortunatly my opponent flopped a set, and called the whole way.
He checked it to me on the river when i went all in, so it was just stupid on me.
I didn't want to re-buy so i just sat around for 30 minutes waiting on a cash game, but it appeared to be several hours away.
So the group let me re-buy during the break. i came back with 20 times the big blind.
Ended up with first.
_~~~~~~~~~~~
Noteable Hands :
1. My Q3 of hearts, versus Keiths QJ offsuit.
Flop : 10 K A Rainbow.
I check, he bets 5,000. I call.
turn put up a heart giving me the flush draw.
I bet 5,000. He raised to 15. I called assuming i had 9 hearts and 3 jacks.
Heart hit the river and I got paid off 5, 000 more chips.
2. Jason and Z got a little destructive later in the tournament. blinds were about 3k/6k and jason held 50k in chips and Z 40k. i was at about 160.
Well during this blind period there was an all in preflop about 1/4 hands. Generally from them.
Well Jason's big blind i pick up J 7 of Diamonds. I limp. He goes all in.
I figure he is prolly sitting on AK. The blinds had just hit 7,000. there was (his 7000, the small blinds 7,000, my 7,000 and mike's 7000) so 28,000 in the pot. and it was approximently 40,000 to call.
I figured it was a 60/40 so i called. He flipped up AK of diamonds. so im ok with it, just waiting on a J or 7 to hit.
Bam, a K of hearts in the window, followed by a 10 8 of diamonds. what a flop for him, top pair and nut flush draw.
i got to hit runner runner J, or 7, or a 9. Practicly 4 outs. 16%ish.
str8 flush hit the turn.
Sucks that he hit the flop so hard and still get beat. But the money was put in when it was a 60/40 so im fine with it. Flop coulda just been a 7 5 2 for all i cared.
3. 3 handed. Poor phil. Now i had been playing the cards right and catching some luck here and there as you can see above. But up till ol phil's hand i hadnt actually sucked out to win a hand.
i got J 7, poetic hand for the night.
Phil has QQ.
He slow plays preflop and i get to see it. J 5 2.
He bet, i raised him all in. He called of course. 7 hit the river and he got 3rd :(

First hand of heads-up was actually hilarious to me.
i lost it and ended up winning like 15 minutes later but if this doesnt make u smirk then nothing will.
So i peel up AK first hand of heads up.
blinds are 4k/8k.
He calls the blind. I raise to 24k.
He calls.
Flop comes out 2 diamonds and all low cards nothing special.
I didnt think he hit so i bet out 16,000.
He called. Turn came a 3 of clubs.
he bets out 24k.
Obviously he hit the 3.
I call hoping for an A or a K on the river, but plan to bet the flush if it hits.
Well the river hit and its the 3 of Diamonds.!!!
now i had him on a 3 so i know he hit trips, so i was just gunna muck if he bet.
but i said "your first to act" well he thought the hand was over so he flipped up K3.
and i told him that its his turn to bet not show.
so of course he checks.
i go all in.
so now he is sitting there looking at a flush draw that hit on the river and already knows i know he has trips.
so after like 2 minutes he shook my hand and said second place is good enough. so he calls.
he grabs the second place envelope and hears me say "count it up, how much do i owe you?"
lol

that so worked better in my head :)

so i won the tourney later on some 8's followed by a 56
then played cash game till 6 am and took down a bite more
