Back Home: Part 1/2
Always a bit sad to be back home after a Vegas trip. Missing the lights, the atmosphere, the vibes, and almost everything. At the same time it’s always nice to be back in a finalist place. The one issue I always encounter when traveling is not adjusting as well as I should. See at home, I’ve played tons of hours with the good players, the bad recs, even the whales. It puts me in a spot where I’m (almost) never surprised about what I see or am going to see. This is vertically something that is lacking and negatively affects my winrate across borders.
Back in the 2/5 streets: in our first interesting hand we pick up A
5
on the BTN and see 3 limps to us. We overlimp OTB, the SB completes, and the BB checks. We go to a 6 way flop of Q
5
2
the blinds check to a limper who is a loose passive regfish who bets small, 15. There is a call in between, we call, and the SB c/r tiny to 75. The original bettor calls, we call (60 to win 210) everyone else folds. The turn is the 6
giving us the stones. SB now checks, loosepassive regfish bets 60, and we make it 250 to go. The SB folds (after raising flop lol) and regfish calls. The river is the J
and regfish checks. We jam 640 into 770, and he eventually folds.
In our next interesting hand we pick up A
A
in MP, and see a limp from UTG. We make it 20, and the BTN calls, along with the limper. We go to a flop of 7
7
2
. UTG checks, we check, and the BTN bets 40. UTG calls and we call. The turn is the 5
. UTG checks, we check, and this time the BTN bets 200 into 180. The UTG limper then makes it 500 to go with 1200 behind (we cover). We make the fold and the two end up getting it in and UTG shows 76o and scoops (lol)
Next up, we see two limps from EP, and we make it 25 to go with A
K
from the CO. The BTN calls and one of the limpers call. We go to a flop of A
Q
7
. Which checks through. The turn is the 2
. There limper leads for 40, and we make it 125. The BTN folds and villain calls. The river is the 6
and this time villain checks to us. We bet 180, and he tanks for awhile and eventually makes the call. We’re good.
Next up, we see a limp from early position and iso to 25 with Q
T
. The CO, BB, and limper call and we see a T
7
7
. Two checks to us and we bet 40. CO and limper call. The turn is the 9
and the limper checks to us again. This time we make it 115, the CO calls, and the limper raises to 350. (same horrific idiot from AA hand) and we lay it down.
In our final interesting hand we see two limps to us OTB with A
Q
and we make it 25. The SB calls, and the same horrific loose passive limper makes it 105. We call and the SB folds. The flop is the interesting A
7
2
. This villain plays 90/20 preflop, and l/rr ALOT more than others, which makes him trickier to play against. Point being, he’s wider here than against normal players. He quickly wagers 175, and we call. The turn is the 9
and he checks to us. At this point I’m putting him on a hand that’s way behind (TT-KK), other weird hands as well, so we heck back planning to call all rivers. The river is the A
and he checks to us: we bet small, 210 to target some of those noted hands and he snaps with AT. Lol.
All in all a solid session, and nice to be back and book a win.
Will post part two of this weekend, 5/T action, where I play a hand bigger than I was expecting...
