Just started playing 5-10 live, so any comments would be great!
Hand 1
Hero (2K) has been playing pretty tight, aggressive. Villain (~1.4K) is a Loose aggressive player; he joined the table ~30 mins back (bought in for 1K chipped up to 1.4). Before he joined, when his seat was locked, a couple of others said this guy is a multimillionaire, and an action player.
From what I saw until now, he was very aggressive double-barreling OOP and such, but usually gave up to counter-aggression unless he had something. Overall, he seemed like a positive winning player.
Hero has just "moved up" to 5-T. I'm a 3-5 winning player (probably among the top 10% of 3-5 player pool), but only play once a week. So most people haven't seen me, and even if they have, they know I am a 3-5 player.
Preflop: Villain is UTG, makes it $50, two folds, hero (KcKd) calls. (I just call as it's unlikely the pot will be >3-way, and I wanted him to barrel off flop/turn), BTN calls.
Flop(~$150): 5d 6d 9c.
Villain bets $110, Hero calls, BTN folds.
Turn($370): 9h.
Villain bets $300, Hero calls.
River ($970): 7s.
Villain checks, Hero checks.
Comments on every street?
Hand 2
Hero (800) has been playing tight, aggressive but got sucked out on in a ~$700 pot, so the table may think I was on tilt. Villain (~1.3K) is also tight aggressive player, and not many reads on him; just that I've seen him c/r turns with monsters a couple of times - so basically likes to wait until the turn to show strength.
Hero (UTG) raises to $40 with KhQh, one call, villain (UTG+3) calls, BTN calls, BB (~900) calls.
Flop($200): 2h 5h 7d. BB checks, Hero bets $110, one fold, BTN folds, BB thinks for a little while and calls.
Turn($530): 4c. BB checks. Hero? [I'm fairly certain BB isn't strong; perhaps still drawing to FD, or a marginal hand.]
Hero checked. Villain bets $360, BB folds. Hero?? If all my FD outs and K & Q outs are safe wins, I'm getting the right implied odds (it's going to be impossible for villain to fold the remaining 240 or so if I make my flush and lead the river).
