Loads of Hands

News RSS / Ben Grundy / 04 January 2008 / 2 Comments

I mentioned in a previous blog that on December 30th I was down $180,000 playing two tables of $50/$100. The games were against Emily86 on Betfair, and they play much bigger than a regular 50/100 game.

I've included my percentage chance of winning the hand when most of the money went in, and included all the pots over $15,000 we played on the table I was losing the most!


A nice way to get me steaming at the beginning - Ben 80%

Haha make a good read and still lose tilt - Ben 78%

Finally one holds up - Ben 81%

Now i think all is going to go well - Ben 100%

Start of sick run - Ben 65%

Unreal $40,000 pot. I was so tilted after this - Ben 71% (i thought much bigger)

Finally i get it in with the worst hand and lose obviously - Emily 64%

Flop nuts and lose - Ben 65%

Nuts again couldn't lose - Ben 100%

Catching Bare Ace - Ben 100%

Really sick $68,000 pot that pair of fives win. I really shouldn't be gambling here. Emily 57%

Tilted i get all in preflop next hand and get lucky one time - Emily 56%

Hmmm Emily's bluffing range is huge, don't like this one so much - Emily 100%

This sums it up - Ben 55%

Coin flip, Emily wins again - Emily 52%

Facing $113,000 stack, the comeback begins - Ben 80%

We like these odds - Ben 97%

Nice turn - Ben 82%

$37,000 pot. Think i may have stopped if my call was wrong - Ben 100%

$80,000 pot. I wanted to make this pot big preflop as i knew if i hit a set i was likely to get a double up. One time. Ben - 73%

Overall that table I lost $35,000. I won about the same on the second table. Too many hands, so i'll just post the biggest three.

One pair wins $66,000. Ben 70%

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz $54,000 lost. Ben 80%

My play on the turn is fishy here. Ben 67.5%

I think on that particular day ending even felt like winning a million!

    Wow some amazing hands there.

    Seems like he was running very very hot. How have you done against him overall?

    Some massive wins and losses but i'm up overall. I really enjoy the games because i have to make big decisions all the time. Its boring playing tight players......
