IPO 2010: Poor Results
651 poker players have played the day 1B IPO 2010 in Dublin. Like last year the level is quite high!
You can find details of my tournament on Twitter.
MxStew end of the day and 241st ESCRIDER made the best performance by finishing 210th.
We drive to the cash games. Our session was negative for all three, but the fun was there. Tomorrow we will play in central Dublin, just to vary a little pleasure.
Before leaving, I play a few hands in the 5th Dimension: Pot Limit Omaha! I have to work a little this variant.
It is time to drink a last beer and hop in bed!
A Sunday in Dublin FrenchAero Feat. Lady Gaga
On Saturday was quickly forgotten. Our cash game sessions have also contributed well.
We decide to play in a casino in Dublin: The Fitzwilliam Club.
The reception was very pleasant, but unfortunately, the poker tables were empty. So to Black Jack that we turned. After several hours of game (and a few dollars extra in your pocket), we expect to return around 16:30 for a € 30 freezeout. Meanwhile, back at the Regency Hotel to follow the end of the Main Event 2010 IPO and make a little cash game.
Back in Fitzwilliam, we find many poker players come to play the French tournament.
MxStew fate in the former. It once again EscRider who makes the best performance, but unfortunately that is not paid.
The weekend comes to an end and we return to the Regency for our last night of Cash Game. I had a pretty average stay, and the last pot allows me to inflate my results.
Here is the course of this hand full of suspense.
Shortly before that memorable shot settled an old Irish full of jewelry. Our Lady Gaga (more than Lady Gaga !!!), into a lot of shots and has already inflicted many bad beat poker players to the table, including MxStew. Basically, it pays all draws, put 1 / 4 of the pot with top pair, kicker on the flop means, and provides ratings for patient withdrawal. The problem is that the pots get bigger eyes and saw that it was difficult to follow with a weak hand even if one considers that before. In addition it pays raises all-in!
Here are the details of the coup.
I’m on the button with 7 ? 9 ?. MxStew is BB, and our Lady Gaga is UTG +2. All poker players go to bed unless she call the big blind (2 €). I am. My hand is pretty weak, but given his style of play, I can take a good part of his stack if I hit something.
MxStew stimulus to 15 €. Ouch, my hand is not worth it, I think going to bed, but our “Lady Poker Face” call, which gives me a rating of almost 3 cons 1. As it is concerned, it can be anything, even 67s! When our national MxStew, it has an aggressive style and may well be stealing our bets. He knows I’ll be credited with a strong hand because of its position. His big squeeze feels bluff. More recent bad beat his face Lady Gaga has been put on tilt. I decided to go see the flop. I pay.
Flop: J85
MxStew checked, Lady Gaga think …. a bit and put in a pot € 20 € 48. I have two wonderful straight draws, and the rating is alluring. In addition it has probably something (probably a J). My implied odds is relatively strong. I pay. No recovery, I try to control the pot … as I can!
MxStew recovery at 45 €. Lady Gaga Paye. His call does not force, but just that it has at least one pair! However, the check-raise worries me a little. I have 25 € to add a pot to 158 €! What odds!! I have to pay. Finally, I draw to the nuts. I’m not dead yet. I pay. It’s pretty much played his part. When you see his hand at the end of time, you will understand why it gives us a good rating, the bugger! I dive and I live!
Turn: 5
Well it’s not terrible! All trips gives a full house, and I draw is not my home!
MxStew sends his stack (21 €). Lady Gaga pay softly after considerable thought. I do not really remember where I read. I cling to a calculation of odds and I know a lot especially since I invested in it!
The payoff is huge: 21 € for a pot of 200 € and 8 outs to give me my fifth. In my opinion Lady Gaga did not play hard because she suffers the auction from the beginning! If anything it has a pair of J or an over pair. MxStew, meanwhile, is surely very strong. I know him well, he participated in rugs is it has the means to do so.
My game is not worth much, he’ll have to tear off the outer pot if I want to win some chips!
River miraculous gives me a T.
Lady Gaga checked, and I thought sends my carpet. JT and returns it pays on 2 pairs. I earn at least this pot there!
AA MxStew returns! I picked up a total pot of 435 €!
It’s late, I leave the table and will play a few hands in Pot Limit Omaha. I earn € 125 in minutes! It is time to drink the last beer of the weekend …. until those next year.
No typhoon for poker players in Macau
As Typhoon Megi hit the south-east Asia, Hong Kong is under the sun, the sea is calm … .. You see what I mean? It would be a shame not to enjoy it for a short trip to Macau.
The ferry drops me off in the late morning and I jump on a bus that takes me to the Venetian. I like this room where players are an advanced level but also affordable.
At the table are quite a few Asians and a friend came to play with me.
I play pretty tight for almost an hour. The pots are growing fast enough and I must play safe by controlling the pot up.
After an hour, I touch QQ in BB. 4 players are already in the game. I raise the height of the pot. One poker player following me. It airs Jackie Chan with a cap screwed on tête.Malheureusement an Ace appears on the flop. I decide to bet, because if I checked, I know he will build and would be difficult to make a correct decision.
I bet half the pot, he goes. The good news is that my raises are respected and that my opponents give me credit.
A few hands later, I touch A4 Heart BB. I checked, we are 6 in the game. The flop has 2 hearts and the ace of spades. It’s a pretty good flop for me. Even if my kicker is weak, my hand has great potential. I decide to bet, just to reduce the number of opponents.
I find myself face to face with Jackie Chan, following my release. Would he have an ace? In fact, it can be anything because it comes in almost every shot that is not revived!
The turn gave a 4. I have 2 pairs. The table is A8T 4.Je bets half the pot. He follows me and gives a River 5.
Not bad hands beat me now. I have not touched my color, but I still have 2 pairs. If he followed me, it is probably something. Again my tight image and sequence auction clearly states that I have an ace There’re likely it beat my aces. But what about my 2 pairs? Hands AT, A8, are plausible, 67 a little more risky. Although he is quite capable of paying a gutshot on the flop, even if its rating was poor. He has not raised preflop, I exclude AK, AQ and AJ with confidence. Same with big pairs. … Good enough thought, I must make a decision. I checked, we’ll see.
It mise1 / 3 of the pot. Bizarre this short, but my rating is quite attractive. Jackie Chan looks confident. I throw my hand. It shows me 67 for a straight hit in Runner Runner! I limited the damage, but it makes me sweat!
I leave the table with a stack equivalent to my buy-in.
I go play a few hands of blackjack. I quickly gained 80 €. A little craps and it’s back to Hong Kong.
A nightcap at the 29th floor of 1 Peking Road and hop in bed. I’m leaving tomorrow very early.

Paprika Forever
I have some vacation days. I hesitate between Las Vegas and Budapest. I finally decided to praprika. Indeed, the gambling capital of America is a bit far for 5 days.
I landed in Budapest on Thursday and began Ferihegi my pilgrimage to the usual large hall. One of my rituals associated with this city, there are tasting sausage with paprika and a glass of Tokay. A true delight. I feel just arrived in Hungary after the happy tradition.
I spent the afternoon at me soak in the baths and here I am ready to go play poker.
I go in late afternoon at Royal Poker Club or I’m calling last month (*).
Welcoming Hungarian poker players is still warm and I quickly found a tournament to play. I do not spark, I jump after an hour of play on a semi bluff paid. My drawing does not fit, I go to the cash games. within minutes, I pay my buy-in. I drink a few beers and returned to bed. It is already more than an hour in the morning and I want to enjoy my weekend in Hungary. I got into the taxi, radio broadcasts Magnolias Forever, I would say, Paprika forever!
Poker player and greedy
What a rotten time in Paris, he is to escape. But where to go? I will still go back again in Budapest. … After careful consideration, I remember that I was often spoken of Vienna around the poker table. Whether in Las Vegas and elsewhere, many poker players told me about the card-rooms that line the “Blue Danube” by Strauss. It is also the only one to see the blue colored, because like in Budapest, the water is muddy and chocolate turquoise!
So I went yesterday to the capital of Strudel, Sacher Torte and other culinary delicacies.
My hotel is centrally located and close to the casino in town. It is already late, so I will not make old bones. Tonight is the location!
No luck, the poker room is accessible only poker players who wear the jacket. It is my intention to hire me for 2 euros. I declined the offer. Indeed, the room is small, the blinds kept …. In short, it’s a bad spot!
I play a few hands of blackjack. Just enough to pay for my dinner and hop in bed ..
Tomorrow I go to a tournament in one of the most promising Card Room of the periphery.
As for cultural visits, I think I’ll decorate some passages in the Viennese cafes enjoying local pastries.
Well what we can be greedy and poker player, right?
Vienna, poker players send me waltz
My last night in Vienna was less generous than before.
I played a freezeout tournament at 20 €. I jumped prematurely on a whim without interest. A bad read on my part and hop towards the cash games.
First hand, I touch AA. Not bad. I’m under the gun and make a raise of 3.5 BB. 3 players following me. I manage to remove two on the flop by betting at the pot. The last hanging, the turn is the 6 of spades. Now there are two flush draws on the board. Hearts and Spades. I send my carpet. I am paid by KQ of spades. The River is the 8 of spades! No comment!
It starts well!
Two hands later I hit the button QQ. Again my recovery followed. No luck, I met KK. I do not detail what happened to me 20 minutes later with JJ, you guessed it!
Brief, the evening began badly. I start dinner and come back later. I arrive back at approximately the slope to get away not too bad but my evening is generally negative.
I stop playing around midnight, the aircraft that brings me to Paris departed early the next day!
Vienna Tournament
Bon ben reading your comments, I say I do not know poker.
Everyone looks agree, that I must leave instantly.
The player has not raised preflop, he has not a very strong hand. Let Ax be a small pair … I do not think he pays a bet with a weak Ace. This is not the type. When his little pair, he will lie if it does not set. In short, apart from AK, AQ or AJ, I’m able to do so to bed. Ok, I admit it’s a bit swollen like reasoning, but it fits with my image aggressive that night.
In short, unconsciousness or flash of genius, I do not know what came over me, I bet with my pair 6BB second.
He thought for a long time. As time passes, I begin to say, he probably ace! And I’m not really proud of my shot!
He finished by showing me A5 and sunset. Well finally my analysis was not so bad.
I switch to 29K, the blinds are 200 -700 / 1400
A little later, I go all in with TT against the poker player who has the smallest stack at the table and meets KJ. Into my pair, and I spend 37K. The average stack is 21K.
I decided to use my big stack to bully the table. We’re nearing the bubble and the players start to tighten their game
Here is an example of moves that I applied.
I touch UTG A5 and the flop gives me J57. There remains only one player who is in the middle of the carpet. I send my carpet, he folds.
Those who know me should find this style very much more aggressive than usual. I just read the book Kill Elky, which bases its strategy on the move all-in. I therefore take this tournament to implement and test some concepts in this book … .. and apparently it works!
I climbed well up the final table. We have 9 players. To reward us, the casino offers us a drink! Good spirit!
I have the 4th and j’ai38K carpet. The blinds are 400-1K/2K.
A poker player is put all in by the blinds. I KTs, I raise to isolate. The blinds and antes up enough to be fighting for the pot!
A player calls my raise. We checkons through. I won the side pot with a profit of 1500.
We are more than 8 players. The first 7 are paid. I propose a deal to the table. Each player gives 3 euros to repay and the 8th place. As usual, players are agreements on principle. It’s pretty classic. The deals are almost always accepted. Indeed, the road was long and there is little difference between players at this point. To avoid the random slice, we decided to pay all remaining players. It is rather fair and fair play. After discussion, we decided that the first two give each 10 € 8th.
The game can resume.
I touch 6T BB and I get a 6 to flop. I send my carpet. My opponent has a rug quite low. He returns 69. I make the shot.
The blinds become huge. I send my carpet with A9. The player who has left my coat AK. I was hot. Her decision is quite logical! I have a big stack and he too. He prefers to wait for an opportunity with a hand made so as not to risk their capital to start. Ets decision confirms that I am dealing with a very good player. Many beginners would have followed at the risk of being faced with a pair and lose more than half of their carpets.
We are more than 3 players.
I K9, I send my stack and KQ meeting. No miracle, I finished 3rd and got € 120.
I played five hours, it’s time to go to the cash games!
