I've been on a break even run since January and I'm trying to figure out if there are certain spots I'm playing differently, mainly raising/betting for thin value and trying to balance that against a tendency to spew. Below is hand 1 of 2 from a recent session I'm interested in hearing thoughts on.
Saturday night at Borgata. Place is a zoo as it's tourney series time. As such, the 1/2 tables are playing a little tougher than usual. My table is no different, containing 3-4 seemingly winning players
Hero: Sitting for 45 minutes and has been very tight as he gets a feel for the table. Probably seen as a TAG/Borderline Rock by the younger, more aggressive and active players. Hasn't shown down any hands.
V: Younger White kid. Has been reasonably active both raising in all positions as well as limp calling. Not one of the winning players I mentioned above.
Hero [300]
V [400]
2 limps to V in MP who raises to 15. Hero calls in CO with K
