"To those who are given much, much is expected." - Maya Angelou
4th of July Fireworks
We are getting down to the conclusion of the wsop. Play well to everyone in the main! I'm going to grind a little bit of cash and rail friends who are still in it at Rio.
I'm feeling pretty burnt out which is to be expected. After this week and I'm going to gear down and relax a little bit, forget about poker for a few days.
I'm going to try and spend less time on 2+2 going forward and I think I'll probably just update this thread every 10 days or so instead of after every session.
I'll post up my next vlog soon. I have a topic in mind but if anyone wants to suggest a topic that would be cool.
Hand 1:
V1 (1200)- 55 yo white male, loose passive
V2 (700)- 45 yo white male, tight hasn't been too active
Hero's Image (550)- 25 yo white male, tag
Preflop (7):
Hero is SB dealt Q
Q
MP raises to 20, 1 MP caller, raises to 20, LP calls,
V1 calls from LP,
V2 calls from LP,
Hero 3b to 140, folds to
V1-V2 who call.
Flop (461):
A
T
8
Hero bets 140, fold, fold.
It was kind of weird to get 2 callers of the huge 3b. Less than psb left, probably have to call a shove, I think worse might peel a small bet.
Hand 2:
V1 (320)- 50 yo white male, loose passive
V2 (390)- 40 to white male, havn't seen him play a hand yet
Hero's Image (500)- 25 yo white male, tag
Preflop splash pot (54):
Hero is MP dealt A
T
UTG limps, MP raises to 6,
Hero 3b to 60,
V1 calls from MP,
V2 4b to 185, folds through.
I probably have like 30% equity at best, probably a little less. Looks like a fold.

Curious what others think , his raise size is so small with 2 flush draws out there, straight draw...I'd imagine he would check raise a bit bigger on that board with a set ..so I would generally range him with a pair/ draw .
Hand 2-
I see what your saying, if your gonna get value from betting , it will be from ax, and if he has ax, then when you check he's gonna bet it for you anyways. And also it doesn't put you in a rough spot if he indeed has a boat and raises you at some point in the hand.i would just like to have control of the hand here and get value from a non believer with 77,88 etc as well as the ax... However small the % edge in that.
I would b/b/ b/f here..
$65 turn
$175-200 river
How would you play jj-kk in this spot ?
Good points. In H1 I think I might be able to call OTT and see what he does OTR and soul read. My 3b probably folds out almost all worse made hands.
H2 I really think he is more likely to take a stab with air than call down light. I would hate to bet and get raised, that would be so gross. I probably b, c/c, c/f with JJ-KK. Thanks for the thoughts!
