Thursday night riverchasers and some cash hands

First of all, Congratulations to everyone who made money in the Riverchasers last night. I donked out early on Top Pair with Flush Draw. Not a very intimidating hand, so it wasn't a surprise that my opponent took me out with two pair. I had a few beers and amazingly, my hands have higher winning percentages and thousands more outs when I'm drinking (at least in my mind they do). Check out Kajagugu and his 5th final table. Congrats! And congrats to XxMagiciaNxX. Thanks to him we now have 1 less player in the TOC since he won for the 2nd time. Woo Hoo.




Here was an interesting hand in the token frenzy:
Full Tilt Poker Game #4189476277: $75 Token Frenzy (31246004), Table 4 - 80/160 - No Limit Hold'em - 22:24:49 ET - 2007/11/15

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to jamyhawk [3d Kc] <--I'm folding this hand, but wanted to show how this particular hand progressed.
al1987 raises to 560 <--standard "POT" pre flop bet.
TheCloserX5 has 15 seconds left to act
TheCloserX5 calls 560 <--calls, so has some strength. without reraising closer can't be too sure of what al1987 has.

greerzy_2 folds
FIRE9000 folds
IUBruin folds
Aguirre_WoG folds
*** FLOP *** [Qc Qs Qh]
al1987 bets 3,235, and is all in <--all in screams no queen. Right? with a Q you check to trap or bet into the pot to get a call. Also, Aces would bet out but be afraid of a Q, so no all in. Have to put him on 55-KK range. Don't you think?
hummelbabe has returned
TheCloserX5 has 15 seconds left to act
kin2thumpr sits down
kin2thumpr adds 2,089
TheCloserX5 calls 3,235 <--calls the all in.
al1987 shows [9d 9c] <--exactly what we put him on.

*** TURN *** [Qc Qs Qh] [3h]
*** RIVER *** [Qc Qs Qh 3h] [Jd]
al1987 shows a full house, Queens full of Nines
TheCloserX5 shows a full house, Queens full of Kings
TheCloserX5 wins the pot (7,830) with a full house, Queens full of Kings <--Wouldn't you say both players played this right? I mean, you have to try to take the pot with pocket 9's and the K's have to call. Is there any way you could have folded the 9's, even if you got to see the turn card?
al1987 stands up
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 7,830 Rake 0
Board: [Qc Qs Qh 3h Jd]
Seat 1: TheCloserX5 showed [Kd Ks] and won (7,830) with a full house, Queens full of Kings

Thanks lj. I don't know about that. I have tried it twice and got in over my head. The biggest problem is that I can handle a couple of "idiot" sessions at .25/.50, but losing a couple of 100max buy ins drops the bankroll quickly.
