Wacky Sunday
Back at it and trying to claw out of the early Hole we’ve dug ourselves into this far in early 2018. Played some super interesting hands, including winning (twice) with K high call downs. I definitely do not recommend this at home.
In our first interesting hand there is a limp from a recreational maniac, and then it folds to us in the SB with K
J
. We make it 30 to go and Only villain calls. We see a flop of A
T
5
. And check it to him. He checks it back and we go to a turn, which is the 8
. We check it to him, and this time we wagers 50. Given the fact that he checked back the flop he has air so much here, could be any two really. I find him having an 8 unlikely as well, but possible. We make the call and we go to a 7
on the river. We check, and this time he bets 100. It seems weird but I was so locked into the hand it was almost a snap call with K high. It seems so polarized, and he has no reason to be betting one pair here. Also, all draws on the flop missed so I made the call.
Good vs Q4o
In a strikingly opposite hand, we see two limps and overlimp LP with 7
7
. We go to a flop 5 way of K
7
3
. A few checks to us and we make it 20. The BTN calls, and the SB comes along as well. The turn is the 6
I debated check/calling, but it seemed like we were missing out on too much value in case it checked through. So we make it 45 after the SB checked it to us. The BTN folds and the SB pops it to 140 with 200 behind. My read is that he just has a stone cold flush here, he’s on the nutty side and these plays are just never bluffs/ even sets and straights are just calling from this guy. Anyway, my mistake is not going through the math in real time. It was 95 for us to win 170. I made the quick fold and move on. Seems like against flushes we have almost 25% equity which is just not enough.
Next up. We pick up K
T
in the SB. There are two limps to us and we decide to complete. The BB checks and the flop comes Q
J
4
. The flop checks through and we see a 6
on the turn. We wager 20, and see a call from a player playing way too loose. The river is a J
and we decide to give up. He thinks for a long while and bets 60. Not sure what made him think so so long, but once again we have K high and we feel like we’re good. We make the call and he instamucks.
Next up, we somehow see it folded to us on the BTN and go for the steal. We make it 15 with 9
5
and only the SB calls, we is the same villain from last hand. We go to a flop of 9
8
7
and he checks it over to us. We wager 20 and he calls. The turn is the Q
and he checks it to us again. This time we wager 40, and he tanks for about 45 seconds and calls again. The river is the Q
and he tanks for 45 seconds again and leads for 75. His line has zero credibility and we snap it off, and are good when he shows the 8, and mucks the other card.
Last but not least, we see 3 limps and raise K
T
to 30 from the CO. 3 players call and we go to a flop of Q
T
3
. It checks through. The turn is the 8
and two players check to a whale on MP who bets 50. We call, and the other two call behind. The river is the Q
and the two players check to the whale again, who bets 50. We make the call and the other two fold. We’re good against 99.
It was a pretty interesting day overall.
Some pretty interesting news, I’ll be launching my own personal blog website, with some big plans coming up. Obviously can’t post too much on here, but if you’re curious let me know. I’m finishing up the site tonight, and have a somewhat special announcement that should be cool for anyone who still reads this thread. Anyways, gl on the tables and catch you all soon :-)
