1/2 NL ($300 max buy-in) in Florida. Friday night, 10 p.m. ET.
HAND 1: I buy in for the max and get dealt black AJo in UTG+2. I decide to limp, and with this being typical Florida NL we're like six ways to a flop of QT9 two diamonds. I check-call a $20 bet from a black-haired dude with sunglasses and a grey hoodie. He has like $450 in front of him. An older Asian guy two to my left also calls. Turn is a beautiful K
. It's checked to hoodie again who bets another $20. I pop to $110. Asian folds after a minute and hoodie insta-calls. I'm assuming he has a lesser J. River is Q
. Hero ???
VERY NEXT HAND (
HAND 2:) I get AA UTG. This time I raise to $10 and hope to create an aggro image in the span of three minutes but my only caller is the older Asian guy. More on him: Glasses, drinking a Heineken, has about $225. Flop TT3. I fire $20, Asian calls. Turn 6 makes two spades. I bet $30 (lol 1/2 pot bet) and he calls again. River J not spade. I check. Without much thought Asian does the whole flick-forward thing with his hands as he says all in for $165. I don't know anything about how this guy plays but he looks rather confident. Hero???
Spoiler on the profile of the villain after the last hand:
HAND 3: Late into the session where I had my stack of ~$400 grinded down to $300. I'm still trying to stack the older Asian guy. I get 47
in SB, limp. BB is new to the table, 30ish with a beard and hat, hasn't played much, has like 200 left, jacks it to 12. Asian calls with ~$250 left, hoodie from first hand calls. I decide to call. Flop A86, two diamonds. I check, BB bets 45, Asian guy calls, hoodie folds. Hero??
