This first hand occurred in the 500/1k/100 level. My opponent was an Asian guy in his 20s with a big stack. He had been at the table for about two hours and seemed competent. I had been playing pretty tight but was winning most every pot I played. Hadn't been out of line.
Villain -- 150k
Hero -- 48k
Action folds to villain in the hijack and he opens to 2300. I have AQ
in the big blind and was planning to flat call but the small blind called, so I decided to 3bet to 10k. Villain called after some thought and the SB mucked. Heads up.
Flop is A
9
8
. We checked.
Turn 4
. I bet 7700 and he called after about 10 seconds.
River 6
. I take about 15 seconds and jam for 37k. Thoughts?
------------------------------------
Day 3, blinds are 1200/2400/a300. Laggy Euro with a big stack (200k) opens to 5200 in the lojack. I flatcall in the BB with KQ
. I started the hand with about 65k. Flop is KK8 rainbow. I bet 5100 and he calls. Turn Ace and puts up running flush draw. I bet 10,500 and he calls after some hesitation. River 8 and diamond flush gets there. I think a bit and jam for 47k. Thoughts?
Thanks much.
