Sunday Million Hand

KK82 · 27-11-11, 22:37

Just played this hand in my first ever Sunday Million.. Was a bit of a weird shove on the turn IMO. I was intending to check/call all the way. BTW... Please don't say fold pre.. I know that. And also, please don't say if you know it, why don't you fold pre..

Wesley Harms · 27-11-11, 22:43

I wouldn't fold pre. I'd be raising every possible opportunity and this is one.

I fold now though

Flushdraw · 27-11-11, 22:52

Don't fold pre
Don't check the turn
I probably just bet/call the turn

zuutroy · 27-11-11, 23:03

Seems kinda crazy to b/c turn with tpmk and expect to be good but y'all play a lot more tourneys than me and I'm still in the dark ages of thinking minraising in EP is godawful, so away with ye! It's a b/f on the turn for me.

FeetMagic · 27-11-11, 23:20

I'd prob fold pre, as played bet ~4k/fold turn.

Caf · 27-11-11, 23:31

Presume we have no reads since none posted?

Folding, pre too(only mentioning pre since some people don't fold). I don't mind leading the turn but I prob check it just as often.

Don't think bet/calling the turn would be good in the long run. Bluffs and semibluffs is all we beat and people rarely bluff in that spot, especially for tourney life. Even worse aces would tend to flat but if they didn't fold pre they'd fold the flop. Unless we have a decent read on villain I don't think I'd ever b/c.

KK82 · 27-11-11, 23:42

Villain was new to the table. 4 hands.

Yeah, I only checked the turn to let the hands I beat bluff at it/pot control slightly. Felt like I'm not getting called by much worse really. Would rather do that than bet fold. Feels like there's more value in it and I can decide on the river then.

FWIW I folded, I think there's a decent chance I was ahead, but felt like I still had a decent stack to play with.

Looks like he is hoping the ace hit you big. Don't think he is shoving light here.

Are you still going?

KK82 · 28-11-11, 00:05

Aye... 228/1119

Hope I win!

elbows · 28-11-11, 00:11

Good luck, don't get to play the milly that often due to work the next day. Defo gonna play the 10 million one though.

8611 · 28-11-11, 00:14

How long will the 10 milly one run for? As in what time Irish time will it end? - midday, two in the afternoon or something?

At least 12. Played the red spade when on holidays in the summer, that had 30,000 runners and I think it was 6 or 7 in the morning with 200 left and that was shorter starting stack and that finished at 10.

KK82 · 28-11-11, 00:24

Ok... Here's another... About 20 off the bubble. He'd been at the table only 14 hands. Playing 17/17 FWIW

We fold the flop unless we hit a jack horrible and all as that is.

elbows · 28-11-11, 00:34

Fold all day long now unless you have a very specific read.

Would raise pre and raise flop. If he comes back at you its an easy fold.

Caf · 28-11-11, 00:39

If calling the turn, call the river. It's decision time there.

8611 · 28-11-11, 00:47

And turn is a fold, you're only beatign a bluff
