Nice! You get around to playing at all? With the WSOP started yesterday I'm so psyched going to Vegas next year and see it for myself! Still some bankroll-building to do until then.
I bricked both games this week, ran up stacks in both but lost the flips. Pretty pleased with my game, but I'm trying to force myself to take a bit longer on my all-in decisions. It sucks to be walking home and coming to the conclusion that a spot was bad/too thin.
Some set over set action from last night:
Blinds 100/200, I'm sitting at the old nits table so I've been very active. I open from CO with 5
5
, both BTN and BB call.
Flop 6
5
2
, pot 2200. BB checks, I bet 1200, BTN folds, BB checkraises to 3000. This is the spazz from a couple weeks ago that tried to bluffminraise river, definitely taking weird lines. I don't want to raise him off all the random crap that he's doing this with, so I call.
Turn 6
, pot 8200. BB bets 6000, I call. I guess I could raise here to charge his draws a bit more, but I know this player can't stop betting so I'm expecting an extra bet on river by just calling.
River 4
, pot 20k. BB bets 6k again. Sizing it the same as on turn feels like a strong hand getting value, such as a 6, some of which will be better full houses, or a 3. I want to get value from the naked 6s and straights, so I don't shove for full 30k but make it 15k instead. He snap calls with 4
4
. He definitely would have called a shove, but I like my sizing nonetheless.
Blinds 300/600, I'm UTG with 33. With the players being so call happy and OOP I want to raise but not too much. Basically I'm opening here to flop a set in a multiway pot and start barreling. I open to 1200, 3 callers.
Flop 3
6
T
, pot 5100. I make my set on a wet board, I bet 2500, 1 call. Could size it bigger I guess, but don't mind several people chasing
s/sighcalling a T.
Turn K
, pot 10k. Board gets a bit wetter, with one villain I can make it a bit bigger and get called easily by broadway cards with a big
, I bet 6500, villain calls.
River 9
, pot 23k. I probably should lead out here given my aggro image, but he called so easily on both streets that I wouldn't be surprised to see a bet by worse if I check and I get of cheaply versus made flushes by check-calling. Dunno really, still unsure here. Anyway I check, and he checks 6
6
behind. I guess I'm a wizard. Reeeaaally surprised seeing the check behind, turns out he was scared about the flush/backdoor straight. Nits everywhere!
Won (almost) the most in the first hand with the bigger set and clearly lost the least in the second, pretty pleased about that. However, if the board had paired I probably wouldn't had gotten away with it, but whatever.
