Why did he jam the turn. Because in his mind he is ahead enough of the time and wants you to pay to draw. If you are drawing and miss the river he gets no more value. If you are drawing and call his jam and miss he stacks.

Obv depends on the reg but its pretty much a fold ott. You took an extremely nutted line and you can't have a ton of combo draws that you might be raising the turn with. It sucks playing with regs and it will be hard to get paid off with a hand like this when you hit so in prob just fold pre or 3bet. But then again it's lol live poker so I call Pre sometimes. Nice thread btw I live in Tampa and play at the hard rock at 1-3 all the time so Ive prob played with you. Gl
Edit: When villian jams his line is pretty bad IMO he's almost never getting called by worse unless hero has aT hearts. His bet 3bet line super strong and is never balanced.

Where do u guys play, please let's meet up and I will run you over if you are folding top 2 to any aggression.

Session #55. Played for 4 hours last night and picked up 8+ benjamins for a grand total of $830. Treated myself to a nice massage for $23 (incl. tips) and dinner for an additional $14 (tips included).

Hand of the night was 76 on the button. 3 limpers in the pot and I made it $35 on the button. Blinds fold, 1 limper called. Heads up. Villain had $300+. I cover.

Flop 5J3

Villain checked to me, I bet $35. Villain raised $75. I push AI. Villain thought and thought and finally called.

Turn K

River bricks.

I hear you. Only thing about that is he knows I am not a bad enough player to call on a massive jam with just a draw. As it turns out though, if our hand were played faced up, he made the correct play bc his hand was certainly vulnerable to my hand. In the final analysis, I played the hand as bad as I could play it, calling pre was questionable but not bad, calling the flop was certainly bad, raising the turn was questionable and probably bad. lol

I think it was okay to call pre here. I mean I've called with worst hand on the button. With an innocent flop, I can certainly take it down. Or I can float and take it down on the turn. lol If you played in Tampa I am sure we've crossed path once or twice.

As for the hand itself, T wouldn't matter bc there was only 2 hearts on the board after the turn.

Obviously it is hard to fold top 2, but in some rare occasions, I am at peace with folding. I don't play the "no fold 'em hold 'em" like the rest of the free world in Tampa. Because of this brand of poker in Tampa, I've made money consistently when I have any decent hand.

Nut-peddler :P

Oh, and $35 pre with 67cc then $35 on the flop too?! I hope you had a super strong read that he would spew

Lol blanket statements

Sorry I meant Ah Th and yes I Agree about floating around and taking it down on the flop or turn. I was more in the mindset of getting stacks which is hard to do on any occasion vs a good player.

Session #56. Played for 3 hours last night and won 1+ benjamin for a grand total of $139.

Nothing special to report. Met an old friend so we went out and grab a few drinks.

Oh, sorry I misread your post. Yeah, it would be nice to stack, but I don't mind winning small pots bc it will add up in the long run; that's why they call it grinding.

Session #57 & 58. Played 2 full sessions over the weekend, 8 hours on Saturday and lost $602, 8 hours on Sunday and won 11+ benjamins for a total of $1170; adding both sessions leaves me with 5+ benjamins for a net total of $568.

Here are several interesting hands.

AA got cracked by 99. Effective stacks $500+. New game on Saturday. Sat down for about 1 hour. Didn't get involved in too many hands previously. Made it $25 UTG with AA. Young internet kid re-raised to $65. I re-popped $165. He pushed. I call of course. He hit a 9 on the flop. My hand didn't improve.

Here's another hand. 42 on the button. Super aggressive game on Sunday. Weak guy in early position made it $30. Everyone folds to me and I called. lol Blinds fold. He had about $300+. I cover.

Heads up.

Flop KK7

He checked to me. I bet $35. He called.

Turn J.

He checked again. I made it $55. He called.

River J

He checked again. I made a value bet of $85. He folds QQ faced up.

Here's another hand.

KQ in middle position. I decided to raise $25. Button calls. BB calls.

3 to the flop. BB $400+, Button $600. I cover both. Button is a semi good player. BB is horrific as horrific can be.

K37

BB lead out $55. I just smooth. Button folds.

Turn J.

BB checked to me. I bet $135. BB called.

River A Bingo.

Now BB decides to push AI. I called. Ship City, USA.

Probably smart to avoid playing such a speculative hand too often against a weak player (sir callsalot) with only 60BB. Very high percentage of the time it doesn't work out as good as this hand. Very nice line though.

lol @ sir callsalot. You can't put me on a hand on the button. I abuse the button position quite a bit and I would say I've probably won quite a bit of money with this abuse.

I had a plan with that hand on the button heads up. If it's check to me, I was going to play exactly as I did regardless of any board, especially if it's a scary board. If it's bet to me on the flop, I was going to raise. Alot of people play with scare money so I know they wouldn't call without a solid hand.
