Re: WSOP Main Event Day 1C Sweat

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] Just spoke with Adanthar. He's got a pretty rough table. 8/10 people there are pokerstars qualifiers, and all are nitty and weak/tight. He worked his stack up to $12,000 before bluffing into quads and is now at $6,175. [/ QUOTE ] Something here doesn't compute. nitty + weak/tight <> tough. [/ QUOTE ] It also doesn't add up that he would lose close to 6,000 bluffing. You shouldn't be losing half you stack bluffing against weak tight players. Of course, he could have been calling with a good draw and then just bluffed the river with nothing. [/ QUOTE ] Yeah he sort of "yadda yadda yaddad" over the details of how he went from $12k to $6k. He only mentioned the quads hand to me, so I have no idea how much of the $6k he actually lost on that specific hand.

[/ QUOTE ] I didn't say tough - I said "rough" in the sense he needs cards to pry chips off those guys. There's just not a lot of stack growth opportunities at his current table, according to him.

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 1C Sweat
On a board of Kd Qd 5d Ah, the player of the big blind bet $500, a player in late position raises to $1,100, and after a few moments consideration, Jennifer Harman calls. The big blind reraises all-in for approximately $8,000 total. The player in late position mucks, and Harman thinks for a while then tries to muck the Ad Qh facedown, but it flips over accidentally, revealing her two pair and nut flush draw. I realize this isn't much information to go on, but I'm interested in what the peanut gallery thinks of the play here from all three people in the hand.

Re: WSOP Main Event Day 1C Sweat
This sounds like a terrible fold by Bellande.
With four limpers pre-flop, including Jean-Robert Bellande, the big blind accidentally raises (he throws in the amount of the big blind, therefore min-raising). All players call until Bellande raises to $900. The player on his left then puts Bellande all-in for $5,500 more. Bellande folds 9-9 face up and his opponent shows 7-6 offsuit. How could he possibly think the guy on his left has 99 beat? It seems like Bellande is in relatively late position. So, he probably should have made either a large pot-winning or small pot-building raise pre-flop. But, it appears he limped. That makes this even more confusing. The only reasonable possibility is that the person on his left is the Big Blind and that Bellande thought he intentionally mini-raised with a big pair. But, if Card Player is reporting it as an accidental raise, I don't see how Bellande would think otherwise.

[/ QUOTE ] That's pretty much how I went from 12k to 6k yesterday fairly early, although I did it by playing an OESD aggressively and then betting hard on the river when I whiffed. TPTK called me all the way down, and it was an embarrassingly bad play by me. I didn't get back above 10k until around 2am. Definitely a test in patience and staying away from tilt.
