<<<carded 100% in every single CA casino I've ever been in, nice life sir.

60-70 is a better sizing on flop, drawy board.

Call river, can't this be AJ? Don't think you're beat often tbh he would usually jam hands that beat you

I play at the bike also. See you there.

Thats what i was thinking when he didn't lead the river, as far as not getting carded i might have been a couple times but i have a good fake that i got for alchy so it gets me right in but its never really been a problem for me

What level do you play? Also how often do you go? Thx btw for the sub

gl turnt. i plan on moving to oregon next month and i want to start a live poker career at $1/$3 whats your experience in these kindve games?

It depends if the game you play in it deep or not. The games around LA are all restricted buy-in normally max 100-120 . In general tho, If you play a TAG style, rarely bluff and pick your spots well you will normally win. Just pay attention to players betting patterns because most ppl with bet the same way with the same hand EVERYTIME.

GL!!

I haven't been in a while, work keeps me busy 6 days a week. I'll start going back in Dec/Jan. I play 1/3 and 2/3. We've probably met at some point...not that many people play there compared to other casinos.

When I start up again I'll be playing at the bike and vegas as much as possible, but I've been working my a** off at the moment.

thanks for the insight! yea i plan to not incorporate bluffs until i have a decent roll of 50 buyins or so. until then im going to play abc pretty much

Got a weekend update for us?

wish i did but I cant go much anymore because of school but hopefully i will be going a lot over winter!

But will definitely post when i have some results

Hand from a session a while ago that has been bothering me.

V1: HJ solid youngish player who takes advantage of position weak players and c-bets at least 80%. Also had a big beard so i'll call him beardy. Best player at the table (besides me of course haha)

V2: BTN young loose passive asian guy just lost 2 buy-ins prtty quickly and seems tilted. Also likes to call with any piece of the flop regardless of position

Hero: SB TAG, played pretty tight since i got to the table about an hour ago

Hero: ~$225
V2: ~$175
V1: covers

2-3 blinds 100-300 buy in

All fold to beardy who makes it $15 (standard raise) V2 calls and hero looks down at KQ so i flat

Flop: ($30) AQ4

Big flop for me obv but knowing beardy loves to c-bet i check to him planning on c/c. So he bets $30 V2 calls and i would rather be HU here so i ship it in for $180 more (Overplay? spewy?) beardy calls so does V2

Turn: ($660) 3
River: ($660) 2

Comments on all of the hand are welcome but my main question is OTF. Should i just call and re-evaluate OTT? i would hate to fold a pair and a FD on a brick turn. Maybe a small raise? HELP?!

Well, you were OOP after the flop, I would probably call and re-evaluate on the turn. Since your image is TAG, another play could be a 3-bet preflop and put beardy to the test. I have played with this guy before on the 1/3 tables, if he is the guy I'm thinking about. If I know he is going to c-bet and try to take advantage of me, I would try to mix things up a little bit to get some more information. With his current hand, he would probably have called, but at least you know he has a hand worthy of calling a 3-bet. KJ may have called as well, but like you said he was tilt-prone.


I'm by far not the best player here, I mostly just lurk, but I like this thread and have to give my opinion. 2/3 at the bike has been pretty tight in my experience, so 3-betting is a nice way to see where you are at. I think beardy is a little more aware of ranges for 3-betting, than most the other players.

I will probably start going more often end of Dec. I live kinda far away,valley, but its easy to get to the bike from my office in Hollywood.

Yea i never really thought of 3-betting pre-flop because i thought that if he called then i would be stuck in a bloated pot OOP, and if i were too miss i wouldnt know what to do, but thanks for giving me another opinion of this hand it really helps looking at it from a different perspective. Also hope to see you at the bike this winter!

I understand not wanting to play a bloated pot oop post flop. Given that he did have two pair, AQ was probably the only hand he would have called a large flop bet with. You had a TAG image, so he might think that he is behind if he is actually paying attention to what's going on.


AK, KK, and QQ are all reasonable hands to 3-bet/represent with a 3-bet if you have a TAG image in the right spot.

How far away do you live from the bike? Getting there can be a pita sometimes. I'll give you a heads up before I head over there.

Post a pic, there's no way a 20 year old can look SO old that you have never once been carded at a CASINO of all places unless you have some sort of serious disorder.
