First session Update
So I played my first session of the 100bb structured 1/3 last night, initial thoughts are that the game definitely played a lot deeper, and on most tables running from what I seen. This is awesome news because a lot of the time in this 50-200 game you will see a lot of players sitting at or below 50bb making a large portion of drawing hands unplayable.
I want to make it clear my field is probably if not the absolute nut weakest in the world. You will struggle to believe the types of things you see on a Friday or Saturday night. I have been on tables where players just jam blind for hours, or play 100/80/0 with all pot entrances being 8-12bb raises with close to any two. You will fold for 2 hours straight then pick up a hand UTG make it 25 and no one will notice and it will go 3-5 ways to the flop 75% of the time. So my live play is probably somewhat unorthodox and I typically play with a varied raise size because of how little anyone is paying attention.
Have quite a few hands from last night but I generally will prefer to post less in a session to help keep focus. As well as my plan to focus study on points to be improved on. I will tend to focus on hands that I was confused in during and am not 'happy' with whether I win or lose.
Table last night was incredibly Loose passive with almost all flops going 5 ways with almost no 3bets
Villain is 30yo WG and has limp called his entire range playing about 90/5/0. Have seen him limp call with hands as weak as j3o to AKss, not afraid to throw in $20 more with garbage. Villain is generally not sticky at all on flops and usually is continuing when he has a piece although beginning to get more aggressive towards the end of the night.
Two hands 1 villain
Hero in CO with QK
(650) 4 limps to me utg utg2 mp1 and Villain in HJ (375 eff) I make it 25.
Goes 5 ways to the flop. bb utg mp1 check to Villain on a KJ2
board who makes it 60. I am at this point very wary but feel I can't fold just yet as I am still beating hands like AJ and any Kx he could show up with, losing to sets however I don't think he does this with many flush draws.
Heads up to an 8
Villain promptly checks before I attempt a steal as he slows on flush turn. Villain attempts to jam 190 ontop, accidentally string bets and is deemed a call.
Villain then snap jams a 9
river. promptly fold.
Wondering what you guys think about turning my top pair into a bluff on this turn. I have a good table image and opponent tends to over fold on scare cards. however is he ever really folding something like sets or 2p there?
Second hand with Villain
Please have your opinion on above hand prior to additional information, before this next hand I watched villain take almost the exact same pot jam on a k108
4o turn against an aggressive opponent for (reraising from 100 to 300 all in as a pot sized bet). He intentionally showed me his hand when he jammed sort of shrugging when opponent folded. Made me question my fold all the much more. this was only about 2 orbits after our hand and got me very skeptical.
Then this hand comes up about half an hour later, Villain and I are about 650 effective.
I hold KQ
villain limps UTG, I make it 15. Mp2 (400) calls butt(200) calls and utg(650) calls.
4 ways to a flop of KQ7r UTG checks, I make it 30 folds to UTG who doesn't hesitate to make it 90.
I call to a turn 3
. UTG now leads out for a 105. I call with the intention of calling all rivers except maybe an A.
River comes J
and villain promptly jams it all in for about 450. Don't think theres any option here now but to call.
Villain tables Q9
and I scoop.
I rack up shortly after and have my first result for the blog.
In for 300 out for 1451, good to kick it off with a good result. Hope that my hand history isn't too hard to follow. Promise I will get better as I felt it was messy, will probably try to source a template from another thread for future HHs.
