I hit the tables this afternoon playing my slightly more aggro loose style pre-flop. Things started off great and I ran well in a 3way pot with NFD. I was up a few buy-ins and then some sick run bad came. I probably spewed off a buy-in in the process. Ran bad more to put me down on the session. I did manage to get back to even then got involved in some big pots to put me back to session high. Got to stop feeling tilted about the sick beats. You'd think i'd be good at that by now being somewhat of a PLO veteran
I can't wait for my BR to start with a new digit, it's boring seeing the same number all the time.
I decided to open a bit light on the BTN with a DS hand. It looked like it was going in 3ways and I had NFD. So it was pretty much a case of whether I want to jam and miss possibly feeling silly or make what could be close to a +EV play and hope to get lucky. I felt brave this time
It was nice seeing no-one held a
in their hand.
This definitely tilted me up a bit. I was disappointed to see villain's hand pre-flop and just hoped they wouldn't flop a flush draw on me and we'd just end up chopping it. Flop seemed pretty good for a chop but was just hoping no backdoor draws would come in. The case K *groan* came on the turn to spoil my plans.
This guy ran ridiculously good vs me. I decided to play the JT45ds for some reason and called a 3bet. Flopping an OESD + flush draw I decided to get it in. I don't know how I missed. 65% equity for me
Same villain as above, it really started to tilt me how he was doing this. Once again I opened with a DS hand and called a 3bet. After flopping top pair + gutshot straight draw + 2nd NFD I decided to donk bet thinking we'd get it all in. I had to fire turn even though I wasn't happy about it. 67% equity on the flop and I missed it all again.
AAKK out of the BB, i'm sitting >100bb and it's at a € table which means it's going to be a little more costly. It was a pretty easy 4bet. I just had the sick feeling that the villain who was running good against me (on BTN) was going to be miles ahead. Fortunately I managed to get him to fold and some donk to call off with a flush draw which I dodged!
AAK3ds out of the BB for me. I hate playing it OOP but there was quite a bit of money in the pot and I decided to try build it. Flopped top set and decided to fire even though flush draw up there. Turn was kind of blank so I put the rest in, tilting to get called by an OESD which hits on river.
A hand which did work out for me. I knew I could be up against a straight, but with a set + flush draw I knew i'd be a slight favourite vs 98 with no flush draw. I was just hoping no-one else had a set/2 pair.
that turn.
