Alright, so last night was my first live session in awhile, and the first time I've played hold'em in weeks.
I was sitting a juicy $2/5 waiting for the PLO game. I play one orbit, then this hand;
folds to fish in MP who limps, bad nit overlimps HJ, whale limps in CO, hero raises to $40 with QsTh, bb calls, all limpers call (wtf? lol)
Flop ($200)
Td Tc 6d
checks to whale who bets $150, hero tanks...
Hero concludes whale is never folding, raises to $350, whale declares "All-in" and flips over his cards to expose T8o. I am a bit confused and declare "Call?".
Turn : 3
River: 8.
Whale explodes in excitement, counts his stack, $800. Rough start..
Shortly after, I get called for the PLO game.
Play 2 orbits, only see one flop, playing nitty.
Hand 2: Straddle, steaming fish that just rebought for $300 limps blind UTG, UTG+1 limps, hero has AsQsQd4d and raises to $40, 5 callers, fish repots for $300, fold, hero re-pots for $900. All fold. Board runs out low, QQ holds.
I liked this hand. Basically shoved as a semi-bluff to fold out KK and get HU with the steaming fish. Was pretty sure I was ahead of the fish, and was getting 2:1 on my money assuming my shove is never called by KK.
Nice little triple up..
Hand 3: Folds to me in CO and I raise AhTh9h6s
fish calls in sb, whale calls in bb, straddle folds.
Flop($60)
9d 8d 8
check, whale leads for $20, hero calls, fold.
Turn ($100)
Tr
check, hero tank checks planning to possibly bluff river..
River ($100)
Kr
check, hero bets $60 trying to fold out TT-QQ, Kx. Villain tank calls with AK27r...
Hand 4:
This was the only other interesting hand of the session, not sure if I like how I played it.
Straddle on, 3 limps, hero limps CO with AdTdTc2c, btn limps, blinds complete..
Flop($70)
Qd 7d 4h
checks to hero who bets $70, btn ($810) tank calls, rest fold.
Turn ($210)
8h
Hero bets $200, villain repots to $810, hero folds :|
Not sure what the best play here was. Villain would ship a set on the flop, I thought maybe pair+weak FD or 2pairs.. Thought 2 pairs would give it up on this turn, also most pair+FD combos, too.
Villain showed Q782hh, which makes sense. Bleh.
Edit: Hand 5:
Forgot this one, favorite hand of the night.
straddle, 2 limpers in MP Hero has As5s6d7d in CO and raises to $25, call, btn makes it $85, whale calls in BB, hero calls.
Flop ($285)
2c 5c 3d
whale checks, hero checks, btn($700) bets $200, whale folds, hero jams, btn tank folds.
!
Another lollive hand;
fishy reg sits down, doesnt look at cards.
flop ( 885r ) check through, he donks a 3 turn for pot, table folds except for one player who is hiding his cards. fishy declares that he hasn't looked at his cards and starts berating the table for being nits. Dealer informs the fish that a player still has cards, and the player who has $300 behind tank folds to the $70 bet and shows a 8.
Table goes insane, fish opens his hand to expose AK22...
Anyways, ended up down $950 over 5 hours, which sucks. Hostel room also sucks-- In a 4-bed mixed dorm with 3 europeans guys.
As I write this I'm hitting on an Asian girl at starbucks. She is learning english by writing out a series of verbs. She clearly does not understand anything I'm saying, just laughs and nods. Will probably start talking dirty.
