Aside from one big blind and filling one small, I played 3 hands tonight.
1-3 NLHE. $200 buy in, table just opened up so haven't played with many, but based on the ~2 orbits I blinded, pretty lame table. Lot of "I raise" to $6, a few to $5 bets in a$30 pot bringing on folds, one fold to a $15 bet into a $120 pot. You get the idea.
Hand 1: I'm in small blind, look down at Q
Q
. Two limps, button bumps to $16, I raise to $40, folds around.
Hand 2: I get moved to another table. Still have ~$200 behind. Tightish table. Card dead, make it 2 orbits then pick up A
K
in small blind. MP raises to $15 (~$200 behind). Next player bumps to $30 (~$100 behind) Folds to me, I bump to $85, initial raiser folds, next players puts them all in and I call.
She flips jacks and they hold up. I'm not to upset, figure it'd be a coin flip at worst.
Hand 3: Backstory-the hand before, Villain raises $18, folds around to the live straddle, who calls. 7-8-10 rainbow flop, the straddle bets $30, Villain pushes all in ($~100), straddle has him covered, thinks for a minute, and calls with 8-9. The guys flips A-J, misses turn and river, and immediately buys back in for $200.
Very next hand:
I'm in the small blind again, Villain is under the gun, looks at his hand, and calls the $3 before he has chips.
I'm in the small blind, look down at A
K
, bump it to $18, folds to the villain. He looks at me and bumps to $38, I come over the top with the rest of my chips (~$105), he insta calls and flips A
5
.
Flop brings an Ace river brings a 5, and I'm cashed.
Damn.
