Some funny hands in the micro MTTs

[Poker Orifice]

Have had a bunch of funny hands today playing a bunch of micro MTT's on Stars & just one on Fulltilt.

In this one, EP with 54 actually open-raises.. then guy beside me ships allin ~13bb, I reshove overtop.. and the guy with 54 actually calls off 3rd allin. Too funny!

Here's another. Just off Bubble of one of those $1 micromania mtt's on Stars.
UTG limps (alot of players were limping big prs. in EP to trap.. so I just 'completed' in SB instead of shoving allin).
3 to the flop & it's checked around.... Turn is checked around.. I check on the river.. and this guy with 44 decides now is the time to fire a bet, lol. Nice slowplay bud, hee hee hee

Here's another...
This guy limps in early-mid pos., I raise 4.5x in MP with KK... he calls.
He checks to me on the flop & I fire out a near pot-sized bet (it was a $2 or $3 mtt.. so I was making my preflop raises bigger than I typically would.. as well as bigger cbets).. and he Check-Raises me Allin on the flop!! eeek!!!

And another.....

I raise in MP with AA.. guy in HJ calls..
4 to the flop, I lead out with a near pot-sized bet.. HJ 'dbonilla' calls (incidentally the 'light blue' marker on their player.. is 'Loose Calling Station').
Turn.. I have around 1.4x pot left in my stack.. so rather than put out a smaller value bet on the turn & shove the river, I decide to overshove allin on the turn... and he calls...
phew.. it actually held up, LOL.
Not a bad sized pot with AA, lol

This one was the funniest one of the day.
I call a Utg limp in eMP with A6s (in a Tourney of moderately higher buyin I wouldn't be limping here, more likely to just fold as I'd expect to get raised and then wouldnt' want to play this hand out of position.. but because the table's full of donkeys.. and knowing I'd have great implied odds if I hit.. I limp along) and get 3 more callers. & BB checks. 6 to the flop, lol

I flop the Nut Flush!!! Js9s beats me obviously.. but that's it!
Hmm.. how will I go about getting the chips into the middle?? (am thinking I might have to just check behind on this flop... but then...).
SB actually leads out POT (300),.. BB calls 300, UTG calls 300.. "Weeee... I think I'll just 'call' too".. I call 300.. and guy on my left calls 300 too.. WOW!!!! (other player folds).

Turn.. Jc.. now what? (how will I get more chips in now?). SB Shoves ALLIN (I guess I don't have to worry about it now, LOL).. then BB shoves allin... UTG shoves allin... I shove allin... and after all of that, the guy on left.. he even calls off.. he's the 5th guy in, gotta love it! (I wonder what he figures he can actually beat here?).

Ching Ching... who would've thought it, lol. How often do you flop the nuts (nut flush) and have 5 players get it allin with ya? Only on Fulltilt Poker I say! (yes.. this was a buyin, lol).

[Poker Orifice]

Not all was well today though.. with the good.. came the bad. The worst being.. in the tourney above where I had 5 allin with nutflush I managed to chip up to around 45,000 in chips just after the addon in the Daily$1 rebuy on Fulltilt and then a TERRIBLE thing happened. I went to raise in early position and misclicked, making a HUGE preflop raise with a marginal hand (AJs) it was sooooo sick. I was praying they'd all fold... but then of course the one guy I had pegged as the BIGGEST fish on the table (and he was a HUGE fish.. down $17k playing low buyins).. flatcalls me pre in SB.. then shoves allin on a rag flop (he only had around a 3/5th pot shove left in stack & I had him easily covered... but folded). I probably should've called as I was getting nearly good enough odds if I was only drawing to 6outs but figured if I hung onto what I had left I still had a workable stack to make a go of it with (I had like 17,000 left if I folded ~40bb's). I folded but wanted to puke.
Ended up going cardead after that.. and then closing in on bubble I got it in good but lost and poof.. out I went, sigh. REALLY blew it in that one.. all because of a misclick. Oddly enough I'd just read about a misclick that Neil said he'd made & I posted on there saying "I've done that in MTT's before but not for a very long time".. then did it later on in the same day (today). Hope that's the last one for another very long time.

Here's another...
This guy limps in early-mid pos., I raise 4.5x in MP with KK... he calls.
He checks to me on the flop & I fire out a near pot-sized bet (it was a $2 or $3 mtt.. so I was making my preflop raises bigger than I typically would.. as well as bigger cbets).. and he Check-Raises me Allin on the flop!! eeek!!!

i'll comment on this one: if he puts you on AK or AQ, he was right to raise the flop. Obviously, that's what he had you on. He was wrong.

It's a cheap tournament, though, and people play to double up or go on to the next tournament.

[Poker Orifice]

You think a huge overshove by him was correct? And ya figure he's putting me on as limited of a range as AK/AQ?
Here's the HH for that hand... it was early levels.
Sorry I was wrong in how I described the hand... not only did he limp/call pre... he actually put out a bet on the flop (instead of checking to the player who took initiative preflop < 'THIS' is almost always a weak hand... similiarly to when villain donkbet leads out from the blinds... although in some cases, some players will do this when they've flopped a monster, in hopes of it looking like a steal w weak hand but really looking for action ie. to induce a raise.

Yah.. so I was wrong, villain leads out into the flop small (ie. around 1/4 pot) I raise near 'pot'.. and he shoves... so he's 3-betting me allin with MPGK here. Does he figure I'm ever folding? lol (although, looking at things from different perspective... many newer players figure that other's on the table are playing with similiar thought process to their own.... base other's play relative to their own).

CRAZY HANDS!

Loved the nut flush getting paid off by 5 players though, just brilliant.

Pity about the misclick after that.

The KK vs Q9 was just filth.

And how could I forget 45 guy???

On a side note PO, I see you had every player marked on your table.

Is this something you do at every table you're at?

You hardly came up against all these guys before
