Alright boys and girls - session 2 is in the books and we are in the black. Games were awesome as it was Friday night and I ran really really good. Let's get to then hands (some of which I am sure I will get flamed for). There were a lot so I may end up excluding some of the more standard/smaller ones.
Drove to the casino right after work and got in as they were starting a brand new 2/5:
h1: folds to me; raise 8x8s 15 BTN; sb 3b 50; i call
($100) Flop: 552ss; he cbet 50; I call
($200) Turn: Ksss; x x
($200) River: Tssss he bets 55; I call and mhig vs 53o
well okay then...
h2: straddle; I open 77 35 UTG; 3 calls
($140) Flop: KT7dd x x I bet 100; only bb calls
($340) Turn: Ao I jam for his last 400; he folds
awkward turn but not sure a smaller bet really accomplishes anything better than a jam with his stack size
h3: limp; EP opens 25; 4 calls; I call 56cc in bb; limper calls
($175) Flop 934hhc x x pfr cbet 120; folds to me...
PFR had 100bb to start the hand so he has 355 behind after he cbets...I can't really x/c vs his bet size and I don't think I have any FE when he bets that large 7 ways so i ended up just x/folding...made me feel like I should just be folding pre... but calling 20 more into what will be a 175 pot with 56cc seems like it should be profitable.
h4: raise 44 20 MP; next to act 3b to 55; I call (same guy that 3b me with 53o)
($110) Flop K55cc x 75 I call
($260) Turn 3o x 185 I call
($630) River 4ccc x x he announces A-high and we are obviously good
Sexy river we didn't even need
h5: 3 limps; I complete 55 in SB; BB raises to 30 2 calls I call
($120) Flop T95r; x around
($120) Turn 3dd; I lead 80; 2 calls
($360) River Kddd; I check; pfr bets 125; BTN calls; I fold. BTN wins with J2dd
Worst river; sad but correct x/f
h6: EP raises 20; 2 calls; I 3b AJhh 100 BTN; BB cold 4b to 300; pfr folds; one of the cold-callers goes all in for 225 total; I call
($865) Flop A85r; BB jams his last 400; I call
($1665) Turn/River; Brick/Brick he says I'm good - I show and scoop both pots.
I probably need to just fold pre to the 4b...at the time I was really unsure. We are getting a pretty good price and I had been pretty active in pots/with 3b so far in the session (just taking it down pre) and BB looked like a guy who could be wider than normal here...I figured with the protected pot + being in position I could over-realize but that may be too optimistic. Very lucky to flop a pair here and have him spazz into us. He didn't show so not sure what he had
h7: 2 limps; I raise 43ss 25 BTN second limper calls
($55) Flop A45r x x
($55) Turn Add; x; I bet 15; he raises to 65 I call
($175) River 6o; He bets $165 I call and MHIG
I actually did not see the villain that called pre limp into the hand...I thought I was iso-ing only the first limper who is a super easy to play against/fit-or-fold mawg. too my surprise I get called by v2 who I didn't even see limp lol but it worked out. He is a young asian kid - I was pretty sure he was just attacking my small sizing...doubt he has too much Ax that limps pre and we block 44/23s
h8: 3 limps I raise 40 AKo; same asian kid 3b BB to 125; folds to me I 4b to 285 he calls
($585) Flop T63r; he snap donk-jams for 750 and I fold.
Pretty dumb jam by him (he said he had QQ idk); I pretty much just snap off QQ+ and fold my air. Not sure I like my 4b/size here tbh...
disclaimer: this next hand is really really bad posting it to shame myself b/c calling large river bets is one of my leaks.
h9: open 3x3h 15 BTN; same asian kid 3b bb 50 I call
($100) Flop J22hh; cbet 50 I call
($200) Turn 5o; he x; I bet 65; he calls
($330) River 4hhh; he leads 350; I tank call and lose to 88
No idea what I am doing calling this river. Sososososo bad. I'm so low in my range I just leveled myself when he lead river for that size but I doubt he's ever bluffing here. Really weird for him to show up with 88 here...made it even worse.
h10: limp; I raise AsQc 25; BB and limper call
($75) Flop Ah7x5h; x x I cbet 50 both call
($225) Turn 8o x x x
($225) River To x x I bet 145; BB fold; Limper call MHIG
h11: open JxJc 20 UTG; 2 calls
($60) Flop Q45cc x; I cbet 35; call; fold
($130) Turn To; I x; he bets 60 I call
($250) River 9o; I x; he bets 120; I call and MHIG vs 86o
h12: EP opens 20; I call A3dd BTN
($40) Flop A24r (one d); he checks I check back
($40) Turn Tdd; He bets 45; I call
($130) River 5ddd; He bets 80; I raise to 380; He tank calls AxKd
h13: I open J9dd 20 EP; (53o kid) 3b MP to 60; BTN cold calls; I call
($180) Flop K95ssd; I check; he cbets 120; BTN folds I call
($420) Turn 9o; check check
($420) River 4o; I bet 700; he tank folds (said he had AK)
at this point I was 1.6k eff with MP and 3k eff with BTN so never folding pre. Despite the 53o hand MP was playing pretty tight the rest of the session. OTT he is either pot-controlling AA/AK or has nothing; so figured I'd go for the overbet on the river. Pretty good fold by him if he actually folded AK...definitely didn't expect him to.
Also won QQ>JJ vs a ~400-450 stack AIPF and won ~450 with KK vs a guys 88 in a 3b pot.
Ended up playing for 7 hours and winning 3205
Flame away!
