I suck asdf

On wednesday I played 5k 6max scoop. It was probably the scoop I was looking forward to the 2nd most behind the 10k main event. Unfortunately I busted within the first 100 hands. I only played 2 big pots and I lost both of them.

Here is the first hand I lost. The table had been extremely aggressive and already there had been a couple 3bets between me and rivercrime. Against a tighter player I would probably just call pf since I think I would lose value by 3betting. However, I think rivercrime was going to call my 3bet in position with a very large range that ATs would play well against. On the flop I make a standard cbet, on the turn I picked up the nut fd to go with my gutshot and unfortunately I bricked the river. I dont really have any problem with how I played the hand the only somewhat questionable play is maybe firing the river but I think it was correct. I had been aggressive but I hadnt shown down any bluffs and early on in a big tournament people are less likely to run huge bluffs so I dont think he knew I was capable of firing three barrels with air. Also early on in a big tournament players are less likely to make a hero call before they have established reads so I felt that rivercrime would fold hands like kq k10 AJ a high % of the time. And even though I think most times he has a busted draw hes going to check behind river and my A high will win theres certainly some people who will fire river if they miss and force me off my hand. If he had a hand like aa/ak he 100% would have flatted on the river so after he shoves river his range is narrowed down to KK JJ 22 KJ and a rare bluff. JJ and 22 are the most likely since kk he will more often 4bet pf and KJ hes more likely to raise a previous street since the hand is more vunerable to being drawn out on. And if he was hero enough to have a bluff then he deserves to win but that seemed pretty unlikely.

Here is the 2nd big pot I lost and this one I was really upset about. The first hand I lost I thought I played fine, I was just unlucky to miss my draw and run into a big hand. However, this hand I think was a big mistake. Now normally with how aggressive the game was playing how often people were 3betting I would have no problem with my 4bet and I wouldnt have any regrets but I had a couple pieces of information that made this hand bad. The first thing was I didnt really feel he would be 3betting here that light. I dont really have a reason behind this but after you have enough experience you start to get a feel for table flow and just when people are going to be aggressive and try and bluff you and when they arent. But if this was the only information I had I still would have 4bet shoved because even though I didnt think it was a spot he was going to 3bet bluff that often in, it had still been less than 100 hands so I couldnt be certain on my read on the situation + my hand is really strong compared to a lot of aggressive 3bet ranges.

The other piece of information I had was his 3bet size. Throughout the level his standard 3bet had been to 300 every time. After he made it 270 I immediately thought he might have aa/kk and thats why he made it smaller. But I ended up talking myself into it being because I had folded the last couple times he made it 300 so maybe he thought he could make it 270 and risk less chips to still get me to fold or maybe he just wasnt paying attention and accidently made it 270 instead of 300. So I was pretty pissed at myself that I didnt listen to my reads and talked myself into doing something dumb. But everyone makes mistakes you just have to learn from them and move on.

Today iam playing the 2k 1r 1a so hopefully I can play better and maybe have a better result. Edit http://www.liquidpoker.net/h/670346 oh well haha guess just have the 10k to hopefully do well in now

Anyway besides poker I went and saw adventure land with my roomate the other day. It was pretty good. It actually had less comedy than I expected but had a good story so I didnt really mind. I thought kristin stewart did a really good job and the movie had some nice 80s nostalgia moments. I did think it might have been a bit too long and it moved kind of slowly at times but overally I would recommend it.
