This is a post with the same footer info in all 10 spots…

here’s my test post.

From the “how often does that happen?” department.

Tonight, my Dad, brother and I finished 1-2-3 out of 46 at the Santa Fe NL Hold-em Tourney. We chopped 4 ways with a pit boss from Red Rocks, but the three of us had the lion’s share of the chips and he was cagey. So, we chopped to avoid another 45 minutes of passing blinds around the table.

I know Mr. and Mrs. Hawk have come finished in the money together before. Any other family tourney results on Team Donk?

Playing in an online 45 player SNG tournament the other night, I had doubled up on the first hand and had then won a couple other pots. I was sitting with 3750 chips. When the blinds were at 50/100, I was dealt J/9 suited in middle position. I raised to 350 and it was folded to the button who min-raised to 600. Everybody else folded back to me. The re-raiser had 745 chips left in his stack. In my mind I figured he would likely re-raise in this spot with a pocket pair 10’s or higher, A/K or possibly A/Q suited… I called the additional 250 to see the flop which came out K/9/2 rainbow.

My question to you is this. You are first to act, how do you play it from here? (it’s fine to say that you don’t call the 250 re-raise and that you are on to the next hand, but that play seems really weak to me here, especially since the player is letting you see a flop for free and if he has a HUGE hand (A/A or K/K), with the right flop, you could bust him.)

Let me know your thoughts and I’ll post a comment in a couple days to let you know how I played it (and the result)

While playing in a $10.00 18 player SNG on Full Tilt tonight, there was a guy sitting on my button and min-raising my big-blind every single round. It got to a point where it was driving me completely nuts! So finally, after the 5th or 6th time, I decided next time he did it, I was going to play back at him no matter what my cards were.

Do you know the best way to get back at a guy like that? It’s easy, all you have to do is play like an uber-donkey and then get really lucky. Like this hand…

I had already made a note about the player named LethalPhoenix. Earlier on I saw him call after a guy moves all in and had already been called. LethalPhoenix calls with k/4 offsuit, catches a King and knocks out A/Q suited and pocket 10s. He then made a few other horrid calls to puke away a bunch of his chips, so I knew it wasn’t going to be too long before he went totally broke…

The hand above played out like this:
Scoop raises from 50 to 300
Lethal calls.
SN Puck moves all-in for 2900
MNpoker calls all-in
scoop calls all-in
Lethal thinks about it until he has just a second or two left… HE CALLS all-in.

Add this guy to your buddy list. He’s a keeper!
