Hello all,

This will be a challenge for me to post following MpethyBridge and Spikeraw22's guidelines for off the table analysis of live hands. (see the guide here: http://http://forumserver.twoplustwo...lysis-1557357/

Since i am a recreational player, ill be breaking it up into smaller portions. First goal will be all AA and KK hands for analysis. Afterwards ill start posting hands from the blinds (one of my bigger leaks IMO).

Any comments / questions on the hands please post (I am here to learn! )

session 1. 200 NL

Hand 1

effective stacks: $180 (90 bbs)

table reads: table really loose. raises to 8 in PF are going 6-8 ways. Only been at table for half an hour. No real reads. limpers are getting raised PF but its not thinning the field.

Hero AA UTG: I limp. 2 people limp behind. looser player makes it $10 from button. BB calls.

Hero raises to $30. button calls. BB calls

Pot: $95.

Flop: A T 5

BB checks. I check. Button bets $53. BB tanks for a minute or two. i get the impression that he has the lone Ax or big pair. Based on this read i get impression that button is bluffing here quite often (or semi bluffing). Therefore i just call

Pot $201.

Turn: Q. I go all in and button turbo folds.



Hand 2: Same loose table. hero has a tight image but i dont know if table has noticed. Lots of people are playing any two cards.

Effective stacks $100 - $300 (I cover)

2 people limp. I raise to $16 in MP with AA. 4 people call.

Pot: $80

Flop: Q T 6 rainbow

4 checks. I lead $ 60 and all fold.


Hand 3

same table but a few people have busted out ( looser players) Some regulars have shuffled in.

Eff stacks $200 (I cover).

1 limp. I raise to 16 MP with KK
Button calls. SB calls. BB calls.
Pot: $64

Flop: TT6 rainbow. check / check. I lead $30. All fold.
