Hey guys!

(You can shearch me on sharkscope if you want to know my online results)

Been away from online for some months now. Poker in Portugal is waiting to be legislated and in the mean time grind does not stop, so I'm playing live at some casinos in the north of the country.
If anyone of you plans to come to Portugal on vacation and wants to play some poker just let me know and I'll help you with that!

Now, let's get to business =)

I've been playing live NL100 with 100 euros máx buy in (Casino rules) and for now things are going more or less ok. I'm up around 2K and got a great image at the tables and a good relationship with the staff at the casino.

Some more interesting hands are showing up and I feel the need to discuss them with some more players so from now on I'll post some hands in this thread so you can give your opinion about my plays.
Let's try to have a good nice dicussion with some deep hand analysis

Hand no.1 (Probably the sickest on I've played live so far)

I'm playing for a while and build it up to something like 550$, just beeing table capitain, taking my spots and taking good decisions. Table fears me a lot.

I'm in the SB with Td9x.

Action:

Five limpers from midle and late position and I limp in SB. BB makes it 2.5$ (strange) and everyone calls. Pot is something around 15$.

Flop is 678dd.

I lead for 15$, the BB calls, MP player calls and BTN makes it 50$.

BB has something like 160$ in front of him and is a bit tilted with me, he is a reg but I've winnig most of big pots against him.
MP seems fishy, just joined the game and has something like 70$.
BTN is a good player who's game I respect and we discuss hands sometimes and I know he as a similar style than me. He's the only one I don't mess around to much at this table and he has 500$ in front of him before he makes the 50$ bet.

Now things get tricky for me =) What should I do here?

I have the nuts, so I really don't care about BB and MP stack..against them let's stick it in. But vs BTN I really don't want to play a 1K pot with the chance of him to suck out on me.
And I say this because I'm puting him on a set.
So at this point I'm trying to decide the best line for me.
He can't be on a freeroll with Td9d because I have the Td, good for me.
He can have 4x5x or 4d5d or a set and any of this hands makes sense with the action he took, and most of his range can still improve against me till the river. Maybe he has two pair sometimes, but with our stacks I think he would play it slow, just call, and hope to see a safe turn.
The problem is that I really don't want to play and all-in pot with him with the chance I can get suckedout on the turn or river.

At this point I can take 2 lines, I think:

A - Just Shove;
B - Call;
C - Make it 145$-175$ (BB all-in so the pot don't get caped);

And from the 3 lines I get a number of results:

A1 - Everyone folds;
A2 - BB Calls and MP and BTN Folds;
A3 - BB and MP Folds and BTN Calls;

B1 - BB Calls (MP not really relevant for the hand) and we get to see a turn that in my view can hurt me a lot (or I don't have the best hand anymore or I loose action because a scare card);
B2 - BB Shoves, MP folds and BTN Calls his shove (Leaving the door open for me to re-ship);
B3 - BB Shoves, MP folds and BTN re-ships;

C1 - Everyone Folds;
C2 - BB and MP Folds and BTN Shoves (I really think if I 3Bet this becomes a shove or fold spot for him);
C3 - BB Calls all-in and BTN Folds;
C4 - BB Calls all-in and BTN Shoves;

So, what do you think about this? And what line do you prefer?
I just want you to take in consideration that I rarely tilt and I think I'm psycologicaly strong, but anyway 500$ is a lot of money for me at this point (1/4 of my profit so far) and I prefer to avoid variance at this early point in my live experience =)

If you are afraid to get it in with the nuts because you don't want to get sucked out on then you need to change tables or chip down once you get to such a stack

Yep probably I should change tables. But since that guy is the only one that can hurt me and I know he will not give me a hard time playing lots of hands against me I didn't changed tables.

But anyway of course I have the nuts and I'm not folding. But are you happy playing a 1000BB pot with the nuts but against a hand you know as a minimum of 6 outs against you? Thats something between 20% and 28%

Yes? That's an expected profit of 220+ BBs, which is an awful lot of BBs.

Good luck, OP, but blog types threads and/or continuing series of hands belong in Poker Goals and Challenges, not this forum.
