Here's a hand I played somewhat poorly, maybe it was a little ambitious to think he would fold, but I tried anyway
1-3, 500 cap, Saturday night
Hero has been playing fairly straightforward. V has also been pretty straightforward and he's shown some tight folds, complaining on how ****ty he's been running for some period of time
Hero had straddled the last 4-5 hands in a row as an unannounced self penance for not doing a shot with the table (I was planning on leaving soon)
Hero forgets to straddle UTG, OFC wakes up with K
K
, hero limps because MP has been raising everything, getting it in super light, so Hero is going for a nonstandard line
Like 7 limpers (doh)
Flop: 8
4
2
BB bets 20
Hero calls (should be raising here and I get myself into trouble later because I didn't)
Folds to SB who x/r to 60 (525ish eff)
BB calls
Hero eventually calls because it's basically the only option at this point
Turn: A
SB bets 90
BB folds
Hero tank jams for ~435
Hero's thought process:
I really only expect V, since he was pretty ABC player, to be x/r with NFDs, combo draws, sets, 2 pair. Based on the way I played my hand up until this point, I look like I have a draw. With the turn being specifically the A
, it removes the possibility that he has a big FD. My bet is a big bet in real $ amount, even if it's under pot sized.
This isn't a bluff I would try on most players.
V tank folded A8o
I showed and multiple people said they weren't folding to me anymore (which ultimately is what I wanted, which is why I showed)
V blows up talking about how I played the hand so wrong and should have raised his x/r (?! I guess so he could know he's not good and fold??!?)
