Big 1/2 NL Pots

[TonyZ]

My first day at 1/2nl 6-max on Full Tilt really ran my way.

First hand was QQ and it started it all.


I was in MP with 78 clubs. So i call. SB calls and BB raises to 10 $, I call SB folds.

Flop:A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB bets out $16 or so, and I call.
Turn:10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BB bets $30 or so, I push insta for like 350 more to him. He calls With AQ.

Well i was in a table with a friend playing 1/2 at Potawatomi

Friend limped in UTG with A A.

short stack moved in for like 40 3 people call

And my friend who was like 500 behind moved in for his 560 or so. Every1 folded but this black guy who claimed to be a drug dealer.

Well the blackman called

Black has 10 10

My friend was in shock and almost wents nuts. the black guy went on going crazy and was happy

Won a 2600 pot in a live 1/2NL game... There was no cap on the buyin however.

two years ago, won 3k pot at ceasars in AC with top 2 vs flush draw of this mob type doode. he had ~50k in his jacket pockets so he was ok with this. i saw a 5k pot there about a week later at 1/2 top set vs oesfd all in on flop, doode cashed out like 6k. i saw a 6k stack at borgata 1/2 earlier this summer as i was walking through that part of the room, someone told me he won a 4k pot. AC has great games.

bb has 1700 I cover

I raise to 12 with 6s5s on the button, he raises to $40 from the blind, I call.

flop is 742, two spades
he bets $75, I raise to $300, he calls.

turn is offsuit 8
he checks, I bet $500, he calls

river is an offsuit K
he tanks for about two minutes and pushes, KKK no good.

Do these games have an unlimited buy in?

[jba]

iirc it was max 300 or 500, or 3/4 of the big stack. so if someone had 2000 you could top off to 1500.

I've seen >$2000 pots in $200 cap NL1/2 games. While most players seem to try pretty hard to avoid confrontations with another giant chip stack at the table, sometimes it's just unavoidable. So about 3am as tables are combining it's not too hard for a table to have three >$1000 stacks, and eventually they'll clash. I see more of these at MGM I think than most places, but MGM seems to have more "NL1/2 pro's" (their words, not mine) than most rooms.

At uncapped Wynn and Binion's, very large pots are pretty common.
