 Had a downswing at my first shot at 25nl on unibet and moved back down to 10 nl when the  bankroll hit 500e. Been rebuilding since and the RKH tourney  helped with the rebuild and had got back up to 665 on saturday night when i was on the prize drop table and 50e bost to the bankroll landed in my account. So with bankroll at ~715 and prize drop tables being the 25nl tables and higher and the prize drop increasing to 100e moved back up to 25nl this morning . played a couple of hours and ran well and finished the two hour session on 814 euros. tonight session was another 6 tables and finished tonight at 879 euros.so including the prize drop in the 24 hours was up over 200 euros.
 . Cash game tickets take the bankroll in total over 900euros.

All this from the initial free 10euros when i signed up for the account at unibet at the end of March and without making a deposit.

Pretty good day at the office then!

yep, if only every day was the same 

Nice job Keith

ROUND 2:

Blinds 50/100; pot: 300

The flop: 2♠4♣5♦

Advoghado - check

JAr0o32 - bet 250

eky2 - called 250

advoghado32 [guess what I did]

 

having completed pre , i think you probably called here.  If you had raised pre , i think i'm fine with calling here as well since you would have taken most of the low cards out of the villains ranges leaving them with overcards or overpairs and we are likely to get  another two bets into us on the turn which we can then raise.

However since you completed it leaves lots of small pairs, small suited connectors and junky cards in villains ranges that could have hit straight draws on this board. Jar is betting nearly full pot having checked behind pre. A3 is likely to have raised two limpers pre in the expectation that with tight players they are likely to fold their limped hands to a raise, so we can discount A3 to a certain extent . I think we should be raising here to 1000to  protect our hand against 3x  and 67 and extract value from undersets, straight draws and overpairs and two pairs. we are going to hate seeing a 3on the turn/river along with Ace,6,7 or 8

What would be the net affect of raising 1.25 x pot? Is it possible that raising more than the pot might reveal to much hand strength resulting in two folds and loss of hand value? Most pros would probably raise 3/4 pot here although in lower blind levels it is not unusual to see a pot raise. The critical card here is the turn and you might not even get there with the raise to 1000.  Your thoughts?

calculating a pot sized raise you have to add the amount you have to call to the pot and add the new size of the pot to it so 250 + (250+250+250+300) = 1300 . so if you were playing online and hit the pot button you'd have bet 1300.  so this is aboout  a 3/4 pot sized raise. As for not getting to the turn i'm fine with taking the pot down as it is with a wet flop that hits their limping ranges hard and lots of potentially scary cards that could come. i don't want to let them draw on the cheap.

Do You remember Monty Pythony's Life of Brian? "Always look on the bright side of life!".

So, Your opponents didn't get an...

Yes, You're right, this is an A3.

Advoghado is a tight player, but TAG or Rock? I don't know. So, this is a coinflip situation: call or raise? He called on pre-flop so I prefer he called again.

 

What's about me? I prefered raise on pre-flop so I'd like to continue my aggressive play and I raise. If my oppenents got an A, they will call or fold. If one of my opponents got an A3 he will reraise and I fold.  I raise to 6 BB*.

Thanks @Keith , You're right. Wrong countingToo hot in here.

(Y) fair-play in here #likeit 

Thanks @ArchyWraith 

3rd decision:

 

The blinds are 500/1000.

A player just sat at the table with a 43 BB stackIn middle position, he limps in.

Everyone else folds to you, in the cut-off.

You have 37 BB in front of you and A♣7♠ in your hands.

You raise 2.6BB.

Villain calls.

 

Flop:

J♦ K♥ J♠

You both check.

 

Turn:

A♥

Villain checks.

When you put 3,000 chips in the middle, villain instantly calls.

 

River:

9♦


And again, villain checks.

 


What do you do?

Villain instantly calls the bet on the turn. This could mean he has a good hand, but he could also pretend he has one. The check on the river makes it more complicated. This check could mean that he knows he has the best hand and wants the other player to bet, so he will raise or make a shuv thereafter. Or he has not the best hand, but a good hand and want the other player to bet and then make a call. This complicated situation bring some risk to bet. But what's poker without risks. I think that me as a player would or make a little bet like 2bb or a check. This different is caused by the time this tournament is played or some drinks :P. As a fictional player I would make a check.

1st decision:

The blinds are 500/1000.

A player just sat at the table with a 43 BB stackIn middle position, he limps in.

Everyone else folds to you, in the cut-off.

You have 37 BB in front of you and A♣7♠ in your hands.


What do you do?

Without any information on the player he could be limping with ATC, so I would raise to 2500. 

Still players to act so lets see if the raise will dissuade them from limping along as well.

With a raise to 2500 if there is a 3 bet we can easy fold as we havent committed to many chips.

Hopefully though we might get the pot without seeing a flop.

If not and we have callers we can reassess when we see the flop.
