The kinda cool, quirky irony is that the house I'm getting is the same house I was gonna get. WAT!?! It's like a track home or whatever. Where they look similar to each other. It's like the same house, in a neighboring neighborhood, but a WAY nicer area. Even nicer than the first one. It hasn't all sank in yet, but I'm sure it will start feeling pretty nice soon enough. I've had packed boxes sitting in my front room for 2 weeks almost lolz. Here is a google earth image of the place.

It looks a little funny on that right portion of the garage and up cause the image is funky haha. Great, now this rando in the pic has a prius and I want it so I can save money on gas, sigh.
On a poker note, I'm surprised no one said anything - well, maybe you thought it - about that 72h hand. Here is a recap of what happened and my explanation for my play.
So first off, all I know about this player is that early game he is a standard nit box playing 9/7, but that he overvalues AKo cause I remember he 4b shoved it on me (and he wasn't even the initial raiser) at bb20. Now, that shouldn't play into my decision here, but it's worth mentioning that he is standard nit box.

So he limps in. This is what I like to call a tell. A name tell. What does a standard 9/7 player named sngwizkid limp here? My guess is he has a huge pair unless he plays a little unconventionally.

I hit something on a dry board. If I check and he bets, I won't know if he has AA or air. So I stab 600 to clarify the matter. He flats the 600. What does he have? I doubt he has anyone of these pairs tbh. Unless its a set of jacks. No one named sngwizkid limps Jx here. And I doubt anyone with that name limps a 2 or 3 that isn't good enough to shove pf.

The turn brings the 5c. Betting serves no purpose but to fold out a 2 or 3 or 5 which he has none of here. I check. He checks as well. DING DING DING. Most overpairs bet here unless you're applying some really smart line.

River makes Ax have a straight. I check. He value bets? Huh? No. You don't have an ace. Anyone with sng wiz, even idiots, shove Ax pf. Do you have a x6o? Well, I don't think you had a pair the whole time. So you have 67? 68? 69? etc. Seems like those are easy shoves pf. (but then again, the air hands on this board are easy shoves pf too, so I just suck at hand reading). Maybe though, you could have a fluke pair of 5s. But why would 5s bet here? Just in case it is a fluke pair, I elected to shove.

Lol just trust me he folded. Haha, I can't get a pic to show it lolz.
Moral of the story is, don't let anyone tell you sngs are solved. I've never made this play ever. I bet I miss spots like this all the time. I'm pretty certain everyone does. But it just goes to show you, that there is stuff EVERYWHERE if you just really buckle down and apply logical reasoning. This whole play was based off of his HUD and screenname. If his name did not contain sngwiz, I would have never made this move.
1) I have a note on him that he limps wide HU, even with high blinds
ReplyDelete2) Learn how to crop/use paint, noob
3) Nice house
4) I hate the river. He probably checks back anything with showdown value, so when he bets it's either complete air or a straight. I call, leaving myself ~2500 if I'm wrong -- an amount, by the way, so small that he would probably call even if he had a set/two pair.
Congrats on the new place Matt!
ReplyDeleteDude you don't have a Prius? wtf?
ReplyDeleteRight. Looking back on it I was like why did I raise? Seemed sexy lolz. Call is > crai for sure, good observation.
ReplyDeleteNo I think the shove is better than call. There's a ton he's hit on that board and a ton of it he's folding to your shove. I make these move a fair old bit, play the old call to river and shove, surprising how often it works. Interesting angle you're getting from google earth there almost horizontal wtf??
ReplyDeletematt how do you get the pics on here the way you do? using hosts and resizing to all sorts doesnt seem to get it like it is on here...
