24 Cash Game - The Updates/Photo/Brag thread!

[Russ]

I realise saying sorry after the pot made me look like a douche, but i really felt bad that it was the first time I'd met you before and first encounter was me playing horrible and getting lucky like that.


And yeah Dave I was losing my shit on the inside last night

Good to meet some of the regs i haven't met yet ..

Thank you ALL for the experience

I agree here phil, was good to meet and play against you and some others who i hadn't had the pleasure of meeting yet.

Was a great night, and well done to Shaun, Steve and myself for playing the 24 hrs. The last 7hrs from 5am to midday was pretty hard after a while, and i might say most high level strategy was out the door at this time of the game (how many limp/limp/limp/minraise pots did we have lol). It was outrageously cold at about 7am this morning, especially when the majority of people left. But one table ran 7/8 handed right up until midday with me, steve, shaun, russ, phil and his mate ben, bruce and aaron (who made another short appearance to tilt off another buy in ) Its always nice to have a good chat to bruce also. He does cop some crap sometimes (nearly as much as steve b), but is one of the nicest blokes ever.

Overall i was pretty happy with the way i played. Its surprising what you can do when you remain sober. Although i was pretty nitty at times, i knew that lots of situations would come over a 24 hour period - i thought i set up my table image pretty well also which enabled me to nick a few pots from time to time. (e.g. i c-bet 9Tss on a Qc5d8d board. Dave murrin instantly folds saying "thats easily a set or AQdd" table image ftw lol).

Was great to also play against shaun, toddy gray and caleb with whom i played some great hands with over the course of the night. we were all seated in a row for about 12 hours so often had some interesting blind versus blind versus button battles.

am bloody tired at the moment. was probably a -EV play to drive 1.5hrs back to waikerie having not slept for 30hrs, but a gatorade, some food and the cold breeze in my face helped a lot.

I might post some more reflections as the night wears on, perhaps some of the key hands i played. (you can read about the big pot i played against gordie above - i tanked for nearly 5 minutes before calling that one - very read Dependant). Again, was a fantastic night/morning. we should definitely do this at least once/twice a year from now on. long weekends are great for this - lots of recovery time.

so same time next week right?

[Caleb]

so same time next week right?

I have every saturday off. I only played in 3 hands with Kleemannnnn total as well. Would love a chance to rectify that.

And then I continued to get backdoor flushed by Caleb two hands in a row, flopped an up and down straight flush draw against Dave and brick out. And then have AK against Caleb on an A,4,2,2 board and he rolls 2,2 when I beat his range here 99% of the time.

Flushes when I lead flop and check turn, flush got there on the river. Only flushes I hit all night. Just had to be against Garth.

And I thought I played the quads well. If I check/shove turn, would it have changed anything? I know you had me on a weaker king (K422 board), but would it have changed your read if I didn't lead so strong on the turn?

[Ben AxeL]

Yah was Shaun ... and Matt has about $300 of Ben's money lol


Great morning Aaron mate , well done ...

i walked away $40 down (after taking a big pot and making Shaun re buy) , then fed it back into the middle playing rather loosely .... happy with that !

Good to meet some of the regs i haven't met yet ..

Thank you ALL for the experience

Was a good night/morning. I think next time no drinking for me, i do remember winning a big pot with 75off and hitting a pair of sevens (was a good read on sin that he hadn't hit) i couldnt believe how big the pot was lol.

After that i was all down hill... have fun spending my $$ Matty I think you got all $200 of it

[Caleb]

I ended +$130, not bad considering I was involved in 2 of the 3 biggest pots of the night (that I know of).

That first hand against benny the cunt he was UTG, I was UTG+1, he said why not when he initially raised, so I immediently 3Bet with [qc9c], knowing the tables previous respect to the 3Bet. Worked like a charm, benny the cunt's the only caller.

Flop [qh jc 5c]. Flopped a monster. benny the cunt check/called.
Turn [kd] benny the cunt check called again. This really worried me. I knew at this stage I was behind. I initially had him on 5s.
River [qs] Even though it improved my hand drastically, I was still in trouble. I didn't think I could win by checking. I fired 80% pot (about $45), benny the cunt made a little speech and called pretty much straight away.

The only thing in his range I could beat was AK or a worse Q, which were both really unlikely, so when he called I knew he had me. 10 9 for the straight was good enough. Not really a cooler, just an unlucky hand.

The hand against Shaun was just terrible for me. I had worked my way up to a peak of $210, he was going backwards from $250 to around $105 (through no fault of his own).

Blind raise to $1 means his initial raise from mid is $4, I flat with [2h2c] from next to him, 2 other callers.

Flop [qs 8c 2d]. Shaun checks, I bet $9. Others fold, he calls.
Turn [7d]. Shaun checks, i bet $17, he tank raises to $40 with $46 behind, saying "I'm trying to figure out why you bet so much on the flop.

I tank here. I'm not quite sure what's going on. That raise is weird. Is he crushing me? Is he drawing, or trying to push me off a draw? Is he finally opening up, trying to get value with a AA or KK? It looks like he's inviting a re-shove, or maybe he just wants to push me off without risking too much of his stack. Maybe if I re-shove he folds his AQ/[Jd10d] type hands. I really was in no-mans land, with no reads and no player history to speak of.

I end up calling, if only to give myself an option on the river. I couldn't myself folding a set there, but I didn't like a re-shove either.

River [5c]. Irrelevant straight gets there, but not a concern. Shaun's first to act, and he tank shoves his last $46 in. By this stage the money was going in ($46 into $200+) but even still I hated the spot I was in. I really don't like knowing where I am in the hand. I tanked for a while, trying desperately for something, anything, any piece of information to make the situation clearer. In the end it was a sigh call. He shows top set and crushes me. So disappointing.

i think this was one of the more interesting hands i played for the night.

as soon as i said "why not" when i raised, i knew it was a mistake and that caleb is smart enough to pick up that i dont ever say "why not" with aces, so he SNAP 3bet me.

but because he 3bet me so quickly, i decided to call because i think caleb's range is pretty wide there. even though he was utg+1, as caleb said before, 3bets get a huge amount of respect.


on this flop i had caleb on something like QT or AK/AJ or
acXc. to be honest, i thought your range was pretty wide on this flop as there are lots of drawing type hands you could have. so i decided to peel another card. i was planning to check raise pretty much any non club turn.

but then when i did hit my straight, i changed my mind. that K hits a lot of calebs range for 2 pair type hands. if i raised and he shoved, i think its a horrible spot for me, even though i had a straight. AT is certainly in his range as well.

on the river, when the board paired, i was a bit confused. i began to think what if he had 55? QJ?

i felt pretty uncomfortable on that river to be honest, once again i thought it would be a pretty horrible spot if i lead and get shoved on, so i decided to check call again. i knew that caleb would be betting his whole range on a card like that.

at the time i said that it was a pretty sicko call from me, but i knew that i couldnt fold on a non club river, so i made it pretty quickly.


i thought i played it pretty well, but the mark of a good player i guess was that caleb made me feel increasingly uncomfortable on every street.

[bennymacca]

Although i was pretty nitty at times, i knew that lots of situations would come over a 24 hour period - i thought i set up my table image pretty well also which enabled me to nick a few pots from time to time. (e.g. i c-bet 9Tss on a Qc5d8d board. Dave murrin instantly folds saying "thats easily a set or AQdd" table image ftw lol).

its pretty funny how you were really really tight, and i was playing a complete lag, prolly like a 40/30 game, especially when i was deep, but we still ended up winning about the same in the end

best times playing against matt were at about 4am

first pot, i open with AJ matthew calls. i cbet a Kxx board, matt calls. turn is checked through, river i check matt bets, and i snap call with AJ high and its good.

then about 5 mins later, a pretty much similar thing happens, but this time i call with Q high and matthew rolls A high. after the hand he says he was value betting his ace high on the river, and i believe him


a little bit later, i have 44 and open and matthew calls.

flop comes down K26 and i bet 3.5 or so. matthew raises to 12.5. i think he is weak, so i 3bet to 40, and he tank folds.

later on he says he knew i was weak, and he had QTo but just couldnt bring himself to pull the trigger and shove.

levelling ftw

[maccatak11]

In that last hand the flop was K63, and i had T3 (monster ftw), but yeah they way you described it was correct.
