February is in the books. Ive mentioned before that my room raised the max buy in at 2/5 to $1000 on Feb 1st. Results for my first full month playing deeper than a standard 100BB buy in game:

113 hrs 9 mins
$15684
$135.03/hr

Plus 3 hours of 5/10
$1063

My best month ever at $16747

Sick results Mike!

No, I have no idea who you are, but I enjoy the mystery.

TY, Sir. I know things will cool off considerably as the weather heats up here in Florida but I have made a few adjustments that I think are aiding my higher win rate substantially. Hopefully its not all just run good.

Congrats on the results and on your room raising the buy in cap.

Those were some brutal spots with TT on the last page.

Thanks buddy

Not a terrible month. WP

I haven't posted for a little while. It seems like the poker gods flipped the doomswitch on me as soon as the calendar turned to March. Im actually still in crusher territory in March but nothing like Feb and there have been some tilting beats. Like these 2

1) Button ($900) opens $25). I 3 bet to $100 AcAs in the SB. I have $655. The BB covers and cold calls.
Flop ($300) Jh9h3s. I check because one of them has to have QQ/KK and will bet. BB bets $100. Button calls. I shove my $555 in. BB calls with Jd8h. Button folds.

It comes runner runner hearts and he has the 8h.

2) EP limps. I go $25 KsKc in MP. The button, SB and limper call

Flop ($100) 9s6s3h. SB ($400) leads $55. EP ($320) calls. I take my time and call. Button ($500) raises to $180. SB folds. EP calls. I shove. Button folds. EP calls.

Turn ($980) Th
River 2d.....EP has 45 and hits the gutshot.

Here are a couple funs ones.

1) I ($1000) limp 55 UTG. UTG+1 raises $15 and gets 5 calls. I 3 bet to $120 to take down all the dead money. But my plan goes awry when UTG+1 ($235) calls. Then the button ($800) also calls. Oops.

Flop ($420) Th5h3d. Cha-Ching! I bet $200. UTG+1 calls off his $115. Unfortunately the button tank folds. UTG+1 had AJ and I was actually ahead without the set...he did river a J though so I needed the set.

2) I got 3 outted on the river to crack my AA. Very next hand...4 limpers. I grab some chips without counting and say "I'm on tilt boys" and throw them in from the SB. I have KhQh. Dealer counts the chips and its $50.

The guy who cracked my KK with the gutshot earlier is in LP and calls HU.

Flop ($115) AhJc6d. I bet $20...lol. He calls.
Turn ($145) Ts. I check, thinking he will bet but he checks back.
River ($145) 9c. I say "hit your gutshot again? and randomly grab chips and throw them in. It turns out to be $260. He calls and mucks.

You just thought he hit a gutshot that one hand, if the board was as you stated. He flopped open ended, not a gutter.

Sorry. The flop was 962. River was the 3.

I wish all hands could play out like that.... especially when the table thinks you are tilted.

lol...Why are you checking in that AA hand? Why would they ever have KK/QQ exclusively here? These are the least likely hands they should have in their range.

Gross runout tho

I didnt say they exclusively had KK/QQ. What I meant was the odds are very high that one of them has one of those hands (or JJ). If neither of them has one of those hands, they are still likely to take a stab at the pot with other pocket pairs, Jx ect. People always seem to bet when I check to them after being the aggressor preflop. Probably because I raise more than most 2/5 players which means I also check more flops than most.

The pot was big enough that even if the flop checked thru I thought I could get my stack in, but I never thought it was checking thru.

I had never seen the BB before but the button was a standard TAG. Id be willing to bet a pile of money he had KK/QQ. Hes not checking back if the BB hadnt bet.

If btn had KK and it goes btn raise, sb 3b, Bb flat...I simply can't believe a competent TAG is flatting. I'd be utterly shocked if he had KK or QQ TBH and I would reassess my read on him going forward.

Point is this flop should hit their pf 3b call ranges pretty hard and this looks like an auto cbet here like every time

If it hits their 3b call ranges, cant we expect them to bet when it checks to them? If that's the case, whats wrong with a check raise? Unless we think it will fold out worse hands.

Well nothing is "wrong" per se but what type of range are you 3b pre and c/r flop with? I doubt there are any bluffs or even medium strength hands in there.

Also you are more likely to get more money in by just leading flop especially if you would bet this flop with a lot of your range. If you and BB check, BTN bets, you c/r, BB is may fold even strong-ish hands like KJs, etc. You didn't give descriptions so I am projecting on that a bit. Also by taking a c/r line you take away any chance for either of them to bluff...like you said fold out worse hands.

If you had Ah I suppose you could argue that no one had NFD so that takes some part of their range away. But that isn't the case and that is just another part of the range that you should be up against.

No posts in 3 weeks. OP confirmed busto! It was a good run.

OP is temp banned at the moment (no I didn't do it). I'm sure he'll be back.

#FreeMikeStarr

LOLOL

Im not sure I can publicly say why I got banned without the (IMO) overzealous mod perma banning me.

PS...I said the mod is overzealous "IMO" because apparently you cant post anything on 2+2 without proof that its true no matter how much you believe it to be true or you will be banned. I cant prove that this particular mod is overzealous but I fully believe it to be true.

I wonder if I complain to a mod about this post if rawdawg will be banned?

I am not busto and he can not prove I am busto and he "purposely posted false information"

Chill out dude before you get banned again. I'm subscribed to this thread and enjoy the content, hand histories, etc. that you post.

Good luck OP. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. I apologize if I offended you. .
