Johnny's donkaments thread

[FlyingSaucy]

If anyone's interested I could post a complete hh of a win or something? Or maybe starting at the last 20-30?

I'll take a zip file of all your past 100 tourneys, if you don't mind. :P
Believe it or not, I would likely review them all.

Yeah definately post one

[mantheman]

I'm with flyingsaucy on this one.. would you mind making a .zip for us keen newbies?

[johnny_fish]

January went quite well, I played a lot (465 mtt's) and managed to win 17k (23% roi).

My goal for February is to play about 350 mtt's and just improve my play in general. I try not to focus too much on results.

I'll also keep multitabling but maybe I'll drop down to just 4-6 tabling after a while. I doubt if less tables really improves my edge though.

[Sprayed]

HH's please.

Great start of the month today. 9 final tables (2 wins)

Interesting hand at the 22r final table:

I didn't play a pot with Plip before; so far he played quite solid. Payouts: 9.1/5.8/4.0/2.9/2.2/1.6.

I was quite sure he didn't have the Q and I didn't think he could call without it(notice stack sizes).

Hah, saw that hand and thought you were overshoving the nuts. Watching you in the 10r right now. Good luck to ya man!

[IowaSkinsFan]

Maybe you swhould've bet something like 250,000 so he thinks you're disredgarding his stack and value betting?

[johnny_fish]

I more or less did (he had ~260 left). The mistake I made was betting too much at the turn imo. 90-100k would've set up a better river.

I know it's early in the month but you're on top at P5 dude. Keep it up man!

[Sprayed]

61st on the P5 LB. You don't talk much at the table. I've railed you a couple of times and you didn't say anything. You're probably playing a ton of tourneys at one time though.

[WildBobAA]

One of the top players thus far in the 2007 Yearly PLB is busto_soon, who's been picking up nice scores all over the place. He won a $100 tournament on UltimateBet on Sunday, but his really impressive day was Thursday. He had 10 (yes, 10) cashes that day in tournaments that qualify for the rankings, and those cashes were across UltimateBet, Party, and Stars. Among those cashes were a 5th in a $100 rebuy on Stars, a win in a Party $150, and a 3rd place in a $10 rebuy on Stars. He now sits at number 61 in the rankings, having moved up 11 spots over his last placement.

[Phantaroth]

nice!

I swear he's a bot.

him QQ/jj/99, you KTs/air (gutshot?)

[biondino]

You have 78s

[Phantaroth]

He = JJ+
You = Tx or big draw

[IowaSkinsFan]

why does his line seem so donkish? Maybe he's a donk...

[IowaSkinsFan]

Well according to officialpokerrankings.com he's break even at best. And lol he plays low stakes MTT's.

[johnny_fish]

Yeah, he tanked half his time bank and folded. He claimed QQ.. Fwiw, I don't think he can call without trips or better.

I had 5s4s but my range is probably boat/trips/draw/KK+ (in that order).

I love hand reading exercises. here's my take:

From what I can tell from your previous posts, you will call there against the other big stack with either suited connectors or big PPs. I think your general play with other PPs or big A hands is to reraise and reevaluate... but you might call with those too especially since both of you are pretty deep stacked.

Your opp makes a standard c-bet on the flop. I put him on 55+ (maybe any pp depending on read), AJ+, QK - given that he raised from UTG. You call - again that doesnt say much - you could have a nice drawing hand (67, 78, 89, 9T, maybe even TJ), a huge hand (66, 88, TT, 79), a very good hand (JJ+), or air and are making a play.

The turn comes the Ts. He bets again. My read on him doesn't change much. He could make this bet with either a major hand (boat), an overpair, or two overcards.

You push, which to be honest really doesn't whittle your range down much (if your opp is decent he will be hard pressed to call with anything other than a boat or maybe KK+ so if you have him read as decent you can make this play with any of the hands I mentioned on the flop) - so you either have a boat, trips, a drawing hand, an overpair, or air.

[IowaSkinsFan]

LOL I just realized this one is similar to one gabe posted in ring where he was sure the guy was bluffing here. So LUCKY u weren't facing gabe!!

hope you take the february p5 title!

He = 8x with a possible lower boat

[vaks]

im ganna say you 96 or TT, wanna say 78 but you really didnt seem to play like you had 78(would a reraise AI on river with 78 be most profitable? I guess it woulda worked since his bet was 1600 and the ai was for like 6900)
and this may be stupid but im ganna guess hes a complete donk and say A7 ... GL ME

pastika = 99, JJ or QQ

call seems OK. You're getting 2/1, surely you have the best hand sometimes and if you don't you probably have the full 8 outs. It helps that you have a couple Js (and the spade J) so something really bad like QJ seems unlikely. Add in the fact that you're pretty short stacked if you fold here and it's even better.

johnny what was the hand u had when u got river flushed by AJ??

[DaCus3]

keep it up in the 100 rebuy, im watchin u haha go johnny!!!

[johnny_fish]

Ended a 26k downswing today with a few decent cashes. I'm not sure if it's just variance or maybe I actually lost some edge due to recent (P5's) exposure..

2007 so far:

[Renton]

holy fuck what is your average buyin? like 250? no way u had a 100 bi downswing. rite???

[bode]

the only way i could see a 26k downswing would be running real shitty if the first hour of the 100 & 200 rebuyaments.

[Xioustic]

The value amount associated with that graph is going to give me nightmares tonight.

[DennisGPunkt2]

So this is 2007 only? 30.000$ in 3 month?

Weee... how did you start your poker career? how much money in the beginning?

[drmcboy]

no way u had a 100 bi downswing

lol documents

cash gamers may have tougher decisions, we have downswings covered.

Thx for posting fish, makes me feel better about mine, ~ 12k

[ChrisTheFish]

Johnny, you are my hero. Keep up the good work, would love for you to post an entire HH of one of your wins.

[johnny_fish]

holy fuck what is your average buyin? like 250? no way u had a 100 bi downswing. rite???

Avg buyin is 156$, so that's about a 160 buyin downswing. That varies between 22 in a freeze out to 2600 in a 215r.

Interesting statistic: 65% of the prize winnings are generated by finishing in the top 3% of the field.

[johnny_fish]

Update.

I've ended the 'downswing' by winning the big Stars 109r today for 31.7k (biggest cash ever )

Was watching this tourn as it was happening, very impressive. I nearly fell outta my chair when the K came....
Congrats!

[Random_Hero]

any news on a zip. file? would be awesome to look through...

Johnny_fish - my new hero!!

[maxxscam]

congrats on the great year johnny, i wish i could run the volume you do, to really compare myself to you and the other top online pros, I came across this the other day, its a online poker site that does writeups on some top online players, i think they would like to do an interview/learn more about you as you were their featured player a few days ago. After the wsop i may try to go full time before the ept's start. any chance you will be playing in any wsop or ept events this year?

link?

I'll probably play a few EPT's (depending on sponsorship). I won't play the wsop though.

What can I say: Gratz !!!!!!!!!

When will we watch you on TV?

[coolsmoe]

Wow Johnny, you have my uutermost respect!

How long have you been playing? And how is your dayplanning? you only play MTT's? C'mon, tell us something abouy your pokerlife!

[maxxscam]

sorry johnny thought i posted the link here it is
http://www.pokerverdict.com/Poker-Pl...usto_soon.html

yeah im lookin for some sponsorship for the ept's as well, hopefully i have good showing at wsop and can work something out, currently ranked, 10th in canada in the ipr,international poker rankings right behind brad booth, and behind gavin smith, negreanu, nenad medic, among a few others, gonna be tough to pass any of them but top 5 is possible. also 9th in the world in itm finishes in 2007, and thats without playing any events over 5k and no calfornia events. i mean if lynette chan can get sposorship from fulltiltpoker sure as hell i can get hooked up with some site out there. I'm sure your online status alone should open some doors for you, i actually heard bodogari and a few other top pro's are getting sponsored for live tournaments by cardrunners, im sure if you keep killing it, some deals will open up.

[donkbee]

Why no WSOP, Johnny?

[K2 the ArmA]

Johnny, teach me how to pwn the mtts!
