so the blinds are $100/$200 and
- Thread starter MadJack
- Start date
We started with $7000 in chips. The very first hand I had pocket Q's. I lost $4200 in the first hand to a guy that slow played pocket K's on a 9 high board with no straight or flush cards.
The next 2 hours I worked my stack back to about average, then the AA hand.
WTF was the guy thinking :shrug:
He said he didn't think I would call? Half my stack was in the pot. CHRIST!

They never think you will call:mj07: :mj07: :mj07: Fkin kids!
BTW, the 'push' was very dramatic too. :mj07:
He has this huge fucking stack and he S L O W L Y stacks them all into ONE stack, S L O W L Y slides them into the pot and then S L O W L Y tips the stack crashing down into the middle.
:sadwave:
Feel your pain Buddy.
Playing in LA Classic shootout yesterday. Win the first table and cash $1200 while moving on to 2nd level, $335 buyin . First place $30,000.
We're down to 3 players at the first table, I'm 2nd in chips, look down at pkt Kings on the button, first to act raIse 4 times the blind, the small blind chip leader comes over the top. BB folds and I think about it for about a second and shove as this guy has been playing very aggressive the whole day.
He insta calls with KQ suited in hearts and flop comes 3 hearts.
AMAZING :sadwave:

Wow, you had a good chance for all the money too :00x10
always find these threads interesting.
I would not have temperment for high stakes poker. Just too many varibles.
Not be able to control risk factor--plus you could play flawlessly and get beat by an idiot--would make my head explode.

Mental note- Wear hoodie and sunglasses when playing against Jack, just to intimidate him
thanks Jack, I look forward to seeing you at the table!!!:SIB
I found Jack's ride when he wins the tourney! This Bentley was rolling in front of me the other day on Flamingo Road...
Honestly i hate playing with pocket Aces..........i have found over the years that i lost with that hand more than i win............So i have learned that if i do get them i go all in at the begining.........if someone wants to call me then i have the best hand out of the gate......however i will not slow play that hand as that is when you get your balls busted.:sadwave:
I don't care to slow play them, but I've just learned to get away from them with 3 to a flush or straight on the board and somebody betting like an idiot. It's fun to crack them though when somebody else does slow-play them. In this situation that Jack had, he played correctly and just got screwed.
It's one pair, you have to be able to fold against bad boards. Jack played them correctly obviously and that's where you want your money in a tourney, pair over pair.
Like Doyle said, usually with aces you win a small pot or lose a big one.
