Pokerstars Macau finally found that staying in Grand Waldo could not
bring them customers so they decided to move to Grand Lisboa Casino and,
I think, managed the poker room together (or not) with the original
management. They claimed that they have 22 tables and is the biggest
poker room in Asia. When I arrived there on Saturday there were no
empty table. Great move by PSM.
I met 上海漁民 Shanghai Fisherman,
and 建設 Construction who were posters in cpf123.net, the Chinese Poker
Forum. Construction were sitting on my right on the 1st table in the
Red Dragon event. Starting chips were 5k and 40 min. each level so it
will be a long tournament. The first hour was pretty card dead and I
was falling asleep. At 50/100 everyone folded to me at sb and I looked
up A3o so I raised and BB called. Flop was A 5 x I bet and BB called.
Turn was 2 with 3 clubs board and I checked the BB decided to take the
pot from me but I didn't believe he had a flush so I checked raise him
all in and he folded. Construction said I played this similar to my
online play.
1st table was broken. Another hand I raised Tc9c
from MP and a Macau regular who reraised me 2x so I decided to call.
Flop was 8 7 x with 2 spades and 1 club I checked raised all in again,
he thought I was drawing so he called with AJ and I had 16 outs
altogether. Turn was 6 so I was doubled up to over 10k.
2nd and
3rd tables were broken and I went to my 4th table. Someone shoved 88
and I called QQ at BB and my hand held up and I had 20k at that time.
Twice I raised with bottom pair and was called and I was folded to bets
at the flops. The final hand was 44 at button I wasn't very happy with
the way of 2 previous small pairs. I had about 16k at that time and the
blind was 300/600 ante 75, so I had around M of 10. When playing
online I was switching between shoving and raising small but I think the
previous 2 hands influenced me to choose shoving instead and Jason Ho
called with AA at BB and I lost. Jason disagreed with me on that shove
but I said I usually do this online. Afterwards I think again this hand
and I think I would be better to raise/fold given that my big hands will
be more likely to be paid off. Online the play was tighter and the
skill difference is lesser so a shove would be alright.
22 Mar
The next day I didn't
have time to play $100+R so I played cash games instead. I played 10/20
and the table was so fishy with 6-8 players in pot in a lot of hands so
I basically played ABC poker. There was one interesting hand when
everyone folded to the SB and SB asked BB that bvb is not meaningful and
he wanted to just take the chips instead and BB agreed. However BB
should say he wanted to play. SB is either folding to BB, or if SB
limped BB can raise any hand because SB basically told BB he had a bad
hand.
I bought in $2000. I raised over limpers in position early
twice but folded to bets postflop so the stack dropped somehow. A
while later I have AKo in position and I raised over limpers again and a
westerner called in BB (or UTG?) who seems more reasonable player.
Small flop came he bet weak with 100 so I raised him to 400. He thought
for a very long time and decided to call. At this time I am almost
certain he had a mid pair and was afraid of a bigger pair with me so any
bet in turn would get him to fold. Turn showed K so I was putting him
all in and he folded. Everyone thought I had a big pair and I said I
didn't. Well if no A or K at turn I would still possibly bet again.
I
completed with JTo one hand after several limpers and flop comes 9 8 7.
I checked and everyone checked. Turn was another 7 so I bet and the
weak player on my immediate right, who played almost every hand, called.
River was J I bet another and was reraised min. to me so I just called
in case he had full house. He showed A7. I don't know if he wanted to
bluff or value bet here.
Another hand I completed SB with A8.
Flop 8 6 3, I wanted to lead out but accidentally put my hand on the
table and the dealer thought I checked, never mind. It was checked
around. Turn was A, I bet and someone raised me and the weak player to
my right called, I am not going to slow down against 2 players so I
reraised and both players folded.
I was at CO and the player at
MP raised to 70 and hijack called. I looked at JJ and reraised to 300
and the button, who sat down not for a long time, called. The MP called
and hijack folded. Flop T x x, MP checked I bet 700. Button thought
for very long time and he folded. MP folded too and they asked me to
show AA. When button saw JJ he was very disappointed because he was
holding QQ.
I won $1.5k from cash after 4.5 hours and then I need
to go to the pier.
