Up, down, UP, dowwwn, up?

Cyanide and Happiness, a daily webcomic

Alright I’m having a decent day sofar, up $750. I decided to take this opportunity
to let that win settle a bit before donking it away and unleashing the tilt which lives within.

After yesterday’s debacle, I decided to start up a tilt account where I would play nothing but $6 and $3 SNGs and play as many fucking tables as I could manage. I appropriately named the account “PushBot1000”. At first I tried 20, with a loss of $30, so I tamed it down to 12, with another loss of $30. So then it got me thinking, maybe I actually do suck and have just been running hot for a year. I mean, a professional like me should be able to decimate the $3 fucking game right? For a while I even had a fish icon on sharkscope, which made me laugh quite heartily. Overall I’d say it was a positive experience.

Alright so I’ve been saving a bunch of hands for a while now that I thought were interesting or played well and since I’m trying to avoid playing poker I thought why not post them here, comment on them and create a 14 page post that two people might skim over. I’ll even do it in that sexy green writing style that I used for my last super hand history post that no one saw.

This one combines the absolute pussiocity that my game obtains, as well as the donk-tastic play that the average $60 player has.

No clue why I didn’t reraise preflop, but honestly, is there anyone who would think that QQ is good after a min-raise followed by another min-raise against 2 complete strangers?

Talk to me 6 months ago and not only would I insta-call this, I would probably be the one pushing this flop. Today, the pussy intsa mucks. I mean, what is he pushing that I have seriously beat? And for the times he has JJ-AA, that’s just awesome.

This ones interestingness begins and ends with my fold. Honestly, what the fuck do you do with AQ here with an early position limper and 15bb? I distinctly remember laughing out loud when I folded simply due to the ridiculousness of AQ. Maybe I should limp? I really have no clue.

I found this interesting because I figured there was no possibility that no one had AA. It actually took me a good 15 seconds to shove because I was seriously afraid of AA. I mean, what hand justifies min-raising a min-raiser who raised a raiser who raised a limper? Yea…

This hand, I don’t know. Obviously flopping quads doesn’t happen very often, and since no one else has a 5, whenever I raise they will be scared that I have trips. I mean, how do you get any value out of this at all? I actually think the best way to do it is just to bet out on the flop, hope someone has A8, 67 or something and is ready to go to war. Any sneaky check-raises or reraises are going to look a lot stronger than just betting out.

This is just another hand I would have had trouble folding before. It has become an easy fold for me, especially when in the BB. I mean, against your average donk who will reraise preflop from the SB, what am I beating here? Do I even want to see an ace or king on the flop?

Before you wonder what the fuck, I mis-click reraised this preflop; one of the perils of multitabling. You can usually spot mis-click reraises as they are generally extremely quick and are always the minimum raise. The best part of course, is that I flopped an oesd and since I took the lead preflop, hey, why not take it down?

I’m pretty damn proud of myself on this hand as well. I thought I was pretty happy with that flop, but since no one reraised, I started to imagine I was actually being fucking trapped when I had trip jacks with an ace kicker. I seriously doubt anyone could lose less on this hand than me, other than if they folded preflop, but for 30 more, come on. Also you just have to love how this was AA vs KK and somehow they didn’t get all in preflop. Nice 50 smooth call with KK dumbass.

Alright, that’s all I got. If anyone made it, congrats, I hope you were entertained, and maybe even learned something. Off to a night of avoiding breaking my winning day. Wish me luck.

Hey I read all of your posts... sometimes just don't find the time to post a response.

Would love to get together and have you rip apart my sng game as it is crap right now. I have that fishbowl beside my name at pokerstars... I think most of the loss was from a $3 rebuy with 5x rebuys.... normally only play there with blogger events.

loved that royal flush hand... I think some guys bet small because it looks suspicious. But usually a reraise takes down the hand unless they have a set.
