Session 3 of 10 Day Challenge
As usual, I start off the session $150 down.
I am SB with AJo and there's a $4 straddle. 4 limpers by the time it gets to me.
I make it $20 to go. Folds around to rec villain OTB.
$55 in the pot.
Flop is J 2 4 rainbow.
I bet $35. He calls.
Turn is a 3 completing the rainbow. Villain has $95 left.
I go for value from all Jxs or stubborn A/2s, A/4s.
I ship all in.
Villain snap calls and shows 5/6 offsuit for a turned gutshot.
Owned.
After that, I am card dead for the next few hours.
Eventually, a black guy who only plays every so often sits down in the exact same seat villain from above was sitting in.
Then I find myself in the same situation, but with KK.
4 limpers to me, I raise it to $25 this time and get one caller.
It's this black guy who I have heard talk poker at the table before and he's said, "When I come to play poker, I don't care about what people are trying to tell me they got, I care about the two cards in my own hand and I play accordingly if I think someone's bluffing. If I think I got the hand won for sure, then I bet big."
So, as I've watched this guy..he is a COMPLETE station when he has top pair... when he has 2pair+ he turns into a massive over-betting ape.
So, when there's $70 in the pot, the flop comes...
Q 9 5 rainbow
and I bet $50, then get tank called....
I now know it's time to "Prison Rape" this villain.
Turn is a 6.
$170 in pot OTT. I bet $100. He tank calls again.
River is a meaningless 2.
I ship in $150 more. He calls with what he says was AQ.
I believe it was more like Q10 or QJ.
So, I am back to even and later I spot one of my favorite villains to play against sitting at another table. When I saw the seat to the direct left of him open up, I table changed.
I was able to "Prison Rape" that villain for his $200 stack two times within the course of two hours.
One hand I had AQ on a Q 4 4 flop and the guy called off his entire stack calling me down with 1010.
The other hand I had raised with K/Q and the flop came Q 9 6 and I believe the guy called off his whole stack on every street with Qx or 9x.
I finished up $403.00 for this session.
