It is the hand of all or nothing. This hand is the 3rd best hand in the game, after AA and KK.

In addition she is attractive and can quickly fall in love if both cards are matched. Everyone agrees to ignite preflop with this game, but what then if the flop is a disaster? Dealing with preflop raises? Should we fold a hand with so much potential? So many questions to answer nuanced and difficult to grasp. This hand can cost you your tournament … ..

Some statistics:

- Vs AK (22 to QQ): Quasi 50/50. Slight advantage for the pair made

- AK Vs Ax or Kx (with x less than or equal to Q): AK earns over 70% of cases

- AK vs KK: 30% chance of winning

- AK vs AA: 8% chance of winning

The review Pros:

Doyle Brunson prefer the hand of AA or KK, as its potential for improvement is greater and we know quickly whether to stay on the shot or not.

A hand like AK who can not find his flop can ill afford a raise. Indeed, only 6 outs can help you win. According to Francis Montmirel, “AK is not a hand made to pay for a raise, but re-raise or spend. ”

Daniel Negreanu, AK is not a hand as strong as one might think. Indeed, it undergoes considerable risk. “To play AK preflop should try to avoid getting involved in big pots when your entire stack is at stake.”

David Sklansky, sees this as very strong hand, since the only real rival is AA hand. All other hands are slightly favorite, is far behind. It is for him a hand to attack very powerful.

My rating:

The first thing to remember is that AK is a hand that is not done! This self-evident, but easily forgotten in the heat of the action.

This implies that you are not the most favorite with this hand as against 22 against 99. Do not talk about pairs JJ, QQ, KK or AA worst, penalize you on the straights possible.

However you are favorites in the tackle against two different cards.

So your reading of the opponent who will guide you through how to play this hand.

In all cases, caution!

Once again, the table position is very important. It is less if you hit your flop, what happens less often than the reverse!!

I therefore recommend a minimum investment: Call in middle position and a raise from March to April BB in late position. I recommend to call a raise with this hand has carpet. Again you are favorites against a pair made.

There remains the question of the beginning of speech. The school might consider a conservative fold! It’s out of question! If you do not play AK, what are you playing! I tend to make a strong recovery in early position to hunt up opponents. The ideal is to keep a single recess. Customize your raise the profile so the table. In shorthanded, you can afford to be more aggressive.

And then, if everyone folds, you win the blinds. … It is always better than losing his stack.

In the final tournament, the fold equity will give you some extra chances to win the pot preflop without a fight. If you feel you can make your opponents down, go ahead and then they pay, sometimes it will be AA, KK or QQ, but often dominated hands like AQ, AJ or AT, and you then still a good chance of winning the showdown.

The flop will quickly tell you how to play it! If you touch, you have top pair, top kicker! It’s pretty good, but you’ll have trouble to extract additional chips to weaker hands and you will not want to read the fine set, which will be played in most of the time. In addition, a player may have hit two pair.

So once again, be careful!

If you do not hit your flop, you have two options:

The continuation bet, up against an opponent. Beware of calling stations and beginners who pay the draws.

The second solution is to check or going to bed! Remember to vary your game check can possibly turn into honest bet, or 10% of the pot. This will allow you to set you against your opponents.

If the continuation bet is paid or restarted, it should thoroughly analyze the situation. Did I image it to the table? ‘m Respected? What image do I have my opponent? How many opponents are still in the game? The answers to these questions will adopt the most appropriate behavior.

In any case, if you encounter much resistance against solid players, leave the blow.

Do not forget the names given to this hand Walking back to Houston, or Anna Kounikova. She is pretty but earns only very rarely! LOL

Every Sunday, PokerStars launched his “Battle of the Planets’ Weekly.
It is a rewarding challenge the best players in Sit n Go of the week. My choice is the challenge “MARS” with buy-in between $ 3 and $ 4.99.
I’m going to play SNG $ 3.40 to 9 players and $ 3.40 Turbo SnG to 10 players.
I’ll play tight during the first few levels, just to get enough chips late on to keep a good fold equity! And in case of doublets, it will always be better.
I begin first by watching a video on Winamax. I chose the one Frenchkiss, which develops a strategy game for $ 20 SnG. 40 minutes later, I opened my first PokerStars SnG.
Forward! I open 3 tables simultaneously. (2 tables 9 and a table of 10)
After 5 minutes of play, we are respectively 8, 10 and 8.
The players seem pretty aggressive, but not a very high level. I’ll let them get excited. It does no good to bluff this kind of players who will always see all the cards on the board.

Table 2: I touch A ? K ?, on BB, small raise everyone goes to bed! Damage.

A little later, at the same table, I ? Q ? A button, the button. I am a small raise and followed by 1 player.
Flop: 8 ? 3 ? 4 ?
This is a good situation. I have a flush draw. I am a small semi-bet bluff. I’m being followed.
Turn: 7 ?
S it I hit my color! I would like my opponent has also a big game I check. He bets, I am.
River: 2 ?
I bet 1 / 3 of the pot, my opponent folds. I go to 2130 $.

Table 3: 88, from middle position. A player I am.
Flop: 4QT. I make a continuation bet of 1 / 3 of the pot. My opponent folds.

Table 2: A ? Q ?. I make a small raise from middle position. Another opponent in the race.
Flop: J ? Q ? 6 ?
Lots of red, but the flush draw is that back door! One can dream!! But mostly I-Top Kicker Top Pair! I bet half the pot. I’m being followed.
Turn: 8 ?
The dream would become reality? Anyway, there is little chance that my opponent improves his game with this card. I think I’m still ahead. However, my color becomes more likely. I decide to checker not to flee and especially take a free card. He put about 1 / 4 of the pot! Would it have made a color already? At least it has a lower Q or a J? In all cases, its implementation structure seems to me bizarre. It must have at least a pair or 2. Unless it is on straight. He had paid dearly for his drawing! I decided to pay anyway! Besides my rating is not so bad.
River: 7 ?
Too bad for him! I bet about 20% shy of the pot. I would think that I have not much. I reraised, I am of course! I win the pot. He returned A2! No comment !!!!!!

10 minutes later, we are more than 6 (4th), 7 (2nd) and 6 (3rd).
It’s going pretty well. I have over 20BB on each of my tables.

A little later, I lose half my stack on the table No. 1 (6 players). I raise UTG, Q ? J ?. A player following me. I have a lot more chips.
Flop: J ? A ? 7 ?
My opponent’s attack by building his stack. It is tempting, but it covers me. I go to bed and he shows me KK! I lost half my stack!
I lose two moves later with JJ vs. AJ.

I am not doing too badly on the table No. 3. I quickly finished 2nd.

We are still 6 on the table No. 2. It is the one who plays the best and tightest. I am currently in 3rd position.
We are still 5. I hit JJ in SB. I raise, am back on track. I have a lot invested in the game, I decided to follow and find myself face to A9. An ace on the flop, it’s over!

For now, it’s not terrible! I’ll try to do better! I’m playing 3 tables Turbo 10 players. The result is average. 2 places 4th and 1 3rd place.

The next series is better. 1 4th place, 1 3rd place and 1st place.
After 9 SnG, I have a positive result, but the challenge for my place in March, is not yet won!

A bad time for the tournament from 12 to 16 and I finished with 2 first places!
The balance sheet is positive: $ 10, or 14%. It’s not so bad!
My score in the “Battle of the Planets” puts me in 9th position! This is only the beginning of the week. This will certainly not enough! I would try again this week!

I am on vacation for a few days in Cannes and decided to go see how the Riviera decided to ride the wave of poker.J can see it many posters in Cannes: “Go beyond your limits Texas Hold’em! ! “I decided to go see this more closely and walked to the casino from the festival hall after the Croisette.Rien to do with casinos across the Atlantic. I spend on the dress code required for entry. No more flip flops and shorts to go have fun. Pants and closed shoes are rigueur.La room table games is a little off. I eventually found after being asked at the reception.

I find myself before a cloakroom and a young woman who I wonder if that is where is the poker room. She rises and looks up and down our group. God we thank you shoes!! She starts to smile and replied that no one yet.

A party leader then comes to tell us “You know, we do not have the poker client here. It does not worth to wait for you to stay because we have the best two or three players tonight! “I hallucinate!

I point out that the cost of the blinds at 5 € -5 € may be prohibitive! He answers when we need it all starts and the blinds at 5 € will not deter real players!

We are still far from having facilities in France providing the means to develop the game in a fun dynamic to the customer’s pleasure.

The host gets stuck, elitist snob. Prices are prohibitive …. (5 € the blind !!!!). The games are still reserved for the elite, introduced, and silver dress. Another area where we have 25 years behind the U.S. ….

Here I am back for 4 days. I eased off a bit on the play, to concentrate on theory. I devour in two days the first two volumes of the trilogy Harrington! The 3rd is not out yet. It is still in the translation!

It’s exciting, but the bad news not long come to me.

I realize that the technical aspect is easily controllable. A little work and practice and everything should be fine, but my big room for improvement will be done with careful observation and analysis of the table. The problem is that it’s my big weakness.

The upside is that I have more chance of finding a treasure or when I know him!

I decided to lower my limits games to work on this aspect. In addition, I will work the examples given by Harrington in his book.

I go to Titan, I subscribe to a Sit and Go at $ 10 + $ 1 Turbo. This is what it gives.

10 player, $ 1500 each, the blinds are $ 10 / $ 20

1 shot: I’m UTG +1 and receive 5 ? 5 ?

UTG: Recovery at 60

Me: Call

Button: Call

SB: Fold

BB: Recovery at 120, Everybody call. There are $ 490 in the pot.

Flop: A ? 3 ? 3 ?

I have two pairs with kicker, flush draw back door (you never know!), And back door flush draw. It is still worth seeing once more.

The player put $ 300 in BB.

His recovery was a little weak Preflop for KK or AA. If he has a pair, I see more of JJ, TT or possibly QQ. But its more like a pair of max protection.

Moreover I do not see it with a 3, because its bid Preflop would not make much sense, and I imagine that most would try to under-play the shot.

I therefore see Ax.

I can not imagine a flush draw (except perhaps ? Ax, and more!) Because $ 300 is still a lot for a semi bluff with such a low rating. I’m about to throw my pair of 5, when I say that his strong auction did not really make sense.

Indeed, with his position, his playing preflop seems inflated. Then he flop a monster, he should play in, while placing much! It looks like a poor continuation bet poorly constructed! My instinct tells me to pay! In my opinion it has nothing! For my part, I have a game that is relatively strong, if not the best at this moment and I can still improve it! However I do not want to allow it to draw a map that easily. Indeed would be an ace for me disastrous if any. And then my 5 does not take very long against 2 over cards, which is likely.

I send my carpet hoping to pass it. He pays and returns K ? 9 ?. It has nothing except the nut flush draw. 8 cards out of 45 in the game can make him win or a score of 8-37 or 4.5 to 1. His decision is bad!

Turn: J ?

River: 7 ?

My color is good to me, he pockets the shot and go out of the tournament.

I out of luck, but my analysis was correct. In addition I pushed him to the fault.

If I had to replay it once I play it probably the same way. An opportunity to double up early in the tournament with such a hand is a godsend.

When auctions are inconsistent and rather high, there is often a bluff!

Last Minute

PokerStars launches new website www.pokerstars.tv

… .. and that’s the ball! All the latest news, live in near, large majors.

The results of the PS team players, the best of hands each day, brief essential for keeping abreast of the news of poker

Jet lag woke early. I dragged a bit in my hotel room before going down for breakfast! Few hands played online, and here I am outside, en route to a card-room of the region: The Lucky Chances. It is gray, which reinforces my decision not to go biking on golden gate! If he had done fine, I would surely find another excuse ….

After 20 minutes from BART (Bay Area Railway Transport), I arrive at the Colma station. The free shuttle is already there! 5 minutes later I played my first hand, I am UTG and key AK. I raise to 4 BB (8 $). 2 players pay me.

Flop: QJ9.

Well it’s not terrible but I still have a straight draw max. I decide a continuation bet. I bet 2 / 3 of the pot, $ 15. I am paid by both players. (One is All In)

Turn: J.

I checked, a player bets $ 20, the other pays and I decided to pay after some hesitation. Indeed, I see players on a Q or a T! Representing JJ I should be able to pull it! The structure of my updates is consistent with this picture. If no scary card comes out I decide to bet high!

River: 7.

I choose an all in without hesitation. I am immediately followed by one of two players returning 9J! The day began badly! My image is completely botched, and I just lost $ 80! … And it’s done for me! It played badly. Too much faith without doubt! I decide not to play a hand for a few laps! I rebuy at $ 80 and I start to watch! 20 minutes later I played my 2nd hand: JQ at heart. I’m BB. I limped through $ 4 in the pot. 5 players are in on it.

Flop: 8TA (2 of hearts) I double-ended straight draw and flush draw. My game is not done but it is quite promising. I make a value bet. After all, my semi-bluff may bring me a little more and knock people out. Finally, we are more than 3.

Turn: 9.

S it, I hit my straight. Plus I’m almost max! I bet half the pot, a player goes down and makes me the 3rd All-in. I pay.

River: 6, my opponent returns AQ. I picked up a pot of $ 158 and come back to play! An hour later, I touch QA suites.

Flop: QJ5.

I feel bad, and starts to get carried away. We are two players. I bet half the pot. My neighbor pays me without much hesitation. I begin to doubt and said he is on a draw. I have top pair with the kicker!

Turn: 3. I checked, he bets half the pot. I figure he’s bluffing. After all, I could make a continuation bet to steal the pot on the flop, and once paid, would rather be cautious. I decided to let him retreat into his reasoning and without pay raise.

River: 5. I check again. He puts me all in! It really looks like a bluff, and I pay it back QJ! I’m cooked! 2nd day of the carpet! I rebuy. I touch a little later AT. I am a raise to 5BB, we are two players.

Flop T74.

The player raises strong. I decide to follow, even if I place it on DD or 89. We’ll see the turn. According to various comments for this player, he can not have QQ or better!

Turn: Q I put a small $ 10, like I want to be followed, even if I do not carry too large. Especially since I already lost two carpet! I raise all-in! Here I begin to understand much more! It has necessarily made a pair. Maybe 77 or 44 but I think not! I eliminate AK, because he played weak in early labor. Still not QQ! I see it as a big-play pair. The dealer is urging me to make a decision. I then decided a very bad call! I pay with my carpet. He returned JJ.

River: T!

What a lucky river! I collect little proud $ 180. I tell myself that I play really bad today and I’ll end up paying much faster these bad decisions.

I’m doing up and down for 5 hours, ending at $ -80. I am not doing too bad, considering my level of play!

I tended to underestimate my opponents cards.

I waived my two principles:

1) Do not play the first bluff hands.

2) Lack of discipline!

I was punished, it’s done for me. I swear to return to the hotel and not play until you have worked at least two hours, my theory. I end this article and will go and watch a video-game Win cash max. I leave for Vegas in less than a week, and I feel less prepared than this morning. One thing is for sure … poker is a long way!

I spent my last day in Vegas just wandering from casino to casino. I ended up having a drink in the bar at Bellagio FIX.
A detour to the poker room. I perceive Patrick Bruel and other professionals that I met in Rio’s a few days earlier.
The chip stack of $ 25 is impressive.
I look forward to the Bellagio fountains in the outdoor pool and returned to my suitcase.
I’ll be back in less than two months. I’d make a detour by Atlantic City in late July.
I hope to be in better shape this time. Since I’m in Vegas this week has been the worst of all.
Nevertheless, I learned many things and gained additional experience.
I’m fine work by the end of August to find my game and my tournament play cash games.
For that I’ll start with a back to basic with poker cadillac, advanced by Phil Gordon and I will certainly finish the 2 volumes of Poker Harrington.
I have work to do.
I’ll also watch all the videos again Winamax.
Good luck to all players who are still a few days or more in this great show … ..

This is my second last day before my return.
I go to the Mirage relatively confident. After all yesterday, I do not’m doing pretty well.

Below are the last two hands I played.

J7 I get on BB. This is not a hand that I usually play, but everyone limps before me, I’m in the game by force of circumstance.

Flop: QJ7
It is a very good flop for me. We are two players. I decide to bet to see a little of what awaits me in the face. I’m being followed. It’s a solid player and prudent. It should have a Q or a J! But I hardly see on Q7. Maybe QJ, but it would probably raise preflop.

Turn: 7
Very good map. I have a full house. I continue my bets. With any luck he’ll hunt me. It’s an aggressive player and it is quite possible.
Indeed, he makes his recovery and announcing all-in. He follows me back and QT. He has two pairs, I have a full house. He needs a Q to win.

River: Q
No comment … ….

I then rebuy. I play a few hands softly. I can no longer attack with conviction. My image gradually deteriorates. I do not play like that. The blows are inflicted. Not only is it difficult psychologically, but it does no good at poker. I decided to finish the round and get up.
No sooner did I take this decision, the lure of poker hold me by sending AA.
Will I finally leave?

I make a standard raise to $ 20 to keep one or two players. My little reminders being met, a lower amount would have probably been playing against 3 or 4.
All players pass, my pair of Aces brings me $ 3. Another blow on the head!
This will be my last hand of the day …. And residence.
Tomorrow for my last day, it will break. I need it.

This day will mark a milestone, and this for several reasons! And no it is not the end of bad beats (unfortunately!), But my first winning session for 2 days ($ 6, beverages and donuts included !!!!!) and it is mostly my first contact with World Series of Poker. !
I’ll start with the bad beats and then I move on to more pleasant things.

I sit at a table cash game $ 1 – $ 2 NL at MGM. I note the table. A young player, thirties, has a huge carpet! I learn later that he played all night!
I play pretty tight, I win a few pots and am respected in my quick reminders. I love it. First because it flatters my ego, but especially my confidence swells AC and AC allows me to develop a little more crooked shots!
After half an hour, I get 56 suites in SB. Everyone limps, I make as much, which gives me a good pot odds. It y ‘$ 20.

Flop: J56
Not bad. I flop two pair and am totally invisible on this one! I tell myself that my bad run the last 3 days has passed and I’m going to start playing!
I decide a check considering a check-raise. With all the players in the game, it y ‘has a bet going slowly (or not!) And will be followed. Relaunching I should take the pot immediately or be super favorite if only one player remains. My plan is working. A player bets $ 10, followed by two others. It’s called a $ 50 pot. I raised the amount of the pot, one player is following me. I see it clearly on a J very well together.

Turn: 2
Map completely harmless. The player bets half the pot is $ 75, announcing all-in. He follows me immediately and I said “My kicker is better Than Yours! . He returned AJ
I’m way ahead with my two pairs. But it was not counting the River which was another J!

First bad beat of the day! I lose $ 150. Before I talk from the big stack player. It gives me some tips that are well worth $ 150. The most important is probably the next. “In a cash game, if you have lots of chips, playing tight to protect your money, when you’ve lost a lot of money, you can play wider.” Well, well, protecting his money … .. What a good idea.

I go to Planet Hollywood.
I settle down. At least here, they provide the donuts! I would not have lost everything if it goes wrong!
I keep myself as I can! I steal a few pots, and finally arrives QQ. I pass on the usual details, an A on the flop, a K on the turn, raises strong, short, I fold, losing more than $ 60. I tell myself that I could lose more!
A little later, a T square earns me $ 15. Super! Luckily I hit the bonus High Hand $ 106. I cling, I select my hands, I’m aggressive in my ups and am fairly respected!
The problem is that when we face aa game monsters, respect AC is not used to much!
I do not flop, I’m cracking JJ, KK, QQ. I lose even with a full house in hand! I play 8 or 10 hands in 5 hours of play 73, 62, T2 … .. short, not a figure for more than 3 hours! Unplayable! I come!

Anecdote, just to stir a little more salt into the wound.
During a deal, the top card against my hand, and turns: 2 of clubs! The dealer apologizes and gives me another, I told her that it suits me and thank him jokingly. I laugh when I discovered less the replacement card a 7. The second card is also a 2! In short I missed a pair of 2!
The worst is that everyone limped to the coup, and you end up with a flop 274.
The worst of the worst when it discovers a River 4. 2 players ignited on this one and went to carpet! The coup is won with a pair of 8 (The Turn) A kicker !!!!!

I still manage to win a few pots.

I raise a K7, and 47K flop. I bet $ 25, $ 50 am revived, I’m going all-in. My opponent folds showing JJ! Finally my hands the most profitable since the beginning of the week are the most marginal ones all the manuals say not to play!

I let myself be carried by the small pots won and lost big pots! I decided to take a break and go see the WSOP at the Rio! I lost $ 50

I arrive in Rio and guess that there is a special atmosphere. It is hard to describe, but we feel an excitement. I drive over the convention rooms, it becomes more exciting!

I enter the Mecca of poker tables and see the eye! I take some pictures of the stars.
I meet Scott Nguyen, who does not recognize me (LOL) …. Isabelle Mercier and no more Patrick Bruel elsewhere who have kindly agreed to take a picture.

I make a picture of Chris Ferguson and Doyle Brunson. I see off Daniel Negreanu playing at the table from Phil Ivey. Howard Lederrer is seated to the left of Chris Ferguson.

I meet Ludovic Lacay Winamax team. We discuss his break for 5 minutes.
He tells me of two big bad beats that have a lot penalized! I asked 2 or 3 tips. It takes time to answer me. Finally he told me a bit disillusioned that “when AC does not want to ca! . I know something ….

I then left to return to his tournament and wished him good luck. I watch for a few minutes. He left the tournament a few hours later …

I walk around the tables. Find a player of Team Everest Poker with whom I played the game before cash in Imperial Palace.

I’m heading back to the strip with the images of champions in their eyes! I tell myself that one day I hope to play a test for the WSOP live this unique experience!

After a quick shower, I queue at the Flamingo! 15 minutes after sitting down, I’m cracking AA T8! I lose all my buy-in!

I leave the table and go to the Imperial Palace to play the last hand of the day.
I’m starting to feel a little game I QA follows.
Everyone limps, I raise on the button and am followed by a single player! I’m quite surprised because my recovery was strong enough!
A flop in a lot and I feel pretty good. No possibility of color. I check, he checks. Bizarre! It is perhaps being under-played!
The Turn is harmless, I bet 2 / 3 of the pot and my opponent reraised me. I do not think too much AA under-played! It’s not too the style of this player who is quite conservative. I take a pocket pair and then begins to consider the trips! With the bowl that I’ve had two days it is possible! If not the trips I’m very heavily favored.
After thinking I ended up paying the carpet! He returned AK. Wish I had forgotten that hand!
Well for once it is I who am doing well, I touch my Q to the River!
He then asked me how I can pay with that? There is even a bit aggressive!
I told him I saw him on three of a kind and thoughtful after that I put him on QQ.
He then replied that it was not really sure I am able to think! Hallucinating! I have never seen such a thing! That player ended the Dutch enchainer stories with football and the performance of the France team (which I do not care regally at the moment!) And other topics that are completely uninteresting. To myself I say I played badly, but occasionally I also get a bit of success. Like what AK is really a crappy hand.
He eventually left the table. Her reaction does not encourage me to regret anything!

I lost it again what I have to win: I have two pairs on the flop, my opponent and his key to the full river.
I am bursting with an AA board A8T 3 8. And yes! AA can lose against 88!

I finally left the casino with $ 6 gain. I’m going back to the hotel to write this article … and sleep well because I need it.
