Morning chaps. I've been dabbling in poker and lurking around here but now I'm trying to kick on I thought I'd get involved.
Running around 13bb/100 at 2NL Zoom over about 10k hands for Febs, hoping to pick up the volume for March at 2NL to solidify my ABC game and take a few shots at 5NL.
5NL seems to be packed with TAGs this morning.
Did double up off one of them, though.
Surprised he called down tbh.
MP was a fish, so suprised BTN didn't fold to re-iso.
Board is very drawy but didn't figure a 5 was in his calling range.
Stopped reading there because in my experience, players with a high gap between vpip and pfr *never* fold*any part of the board* so without looking further, did you bluff big and get called by something ridiculous like 85o which paired the 5 a 5AKQJs board?
Umm, no, it wasn't a 'bad beat' story. That player had a l/c stat of ~45% - 50% and fold to cbet of just over 60% (can't remember the exact figures just now as I'm at work). I also folded on the flop. So, now that is cleared up I'd be interested to hear any comment you may have on the actual post.
always nice to start the month by stacking a 400BB deep fish on heater twice in a row, second time :
lol it's great when you flop trips and fish has a pair - they NEVER think you could have made trips.
It's like they're colour blind to the cards on the board.
Do they convince themselves you don't have an A/K/Q?
"Okay, he's shoved with KKx on the board, I have 55 - he's probably bluffing, I call".
March started with first ever epic heater. Nice to have after I experienced first real sustained(ish only 3K hands) downturn the other week. Variance either way happens but the momentum either way a sustained run gives you is incredible. Reviewing my play I didn't really do anything great. I didn't suck out on anyone which is nice and I wasn't even winning 60/40s or flips to be ahead. I was just getting good cards and terrible fish against me for 37bb/100 over 1500 hands.
Whoops. Check raise there to target Ax as might look like flush draw but still very surprised to see him jam over the top. I figured I'd be jamming the river and see him fold if he calls.

Hero showed Q K and won $8.31 ($4.00 net)
CO showed K Q and lost (-$4.31 net)
These sort of hands were typical. Normally some of these I get stacked on as fish call, call and call and at some point hit second pair or straight or something. Yesterday all I was ahead on stayed ahead.
I have a lot of leaks in my game i think. All-in PF with AK shouldn't be good? Hand 3 & 4 mostly just luck not running into the nuts.
Hands from yesterdays session:
Hand 1: 57/31/3bet 3/10 no brainer right? Looked good on the river, oh wait
Preflop: Hero is BTN with A K
3 folds, Hero raises to $0.08, SB folds, BB raises to $0.24, Hero raises to $0.80, BB raises to $1 and is all-in, Hero calls $0.20

Spoiler:
Results: $2.01 pot ($0.10 rake)
Final Board: 3 Q T 7 J
BB showed A A and won $1.91 ($0.91 net)
Hero showed A K and lost (-$1 net)
Preflop: Hero is BB with K A
UTG calls $0.02, MP raises to $0.08, CO raises to $0.79 and is all-in, 2 folds, Hero raises to $2.21 and is all-in, 2 folds
Hand 3: 48/28/1.8af F3B 55% folding 31-35% on flop/turn. Shoving because the pot is too big for 80% bet, he should be committed and i get the equity for nut flush.
Hand 5: MP 79/6 big fish. Been waiting to stack him off. SB 24/9/0.7af. I have blockers for an ace straight, if they did have 56 it would have been a fml situation.
Preflop: Hero is BTN with Q Q
MP calls $0.02, CO calls $0.02, Hero raises to $0.12, SB folds, BB raises to $0.22, 2 folds, Hero raises to $0.64, BB raises to $1.26 and is all-in, Hero folds
No I won't because Windows 8 is a pile of balls. Anyone know how you can get a basic Paint style drawing program on this junk. All I can get are Apps and stuff. I know they want to compete with Ipads but if I wanted that I would buy one. I wanted a PC. Bloody Microsoft.
H1: AKs vs 50bb got to get that in. If he has KK+ fair enough but he will be prone to doing with any PP or AT+.
H2: Same. Short stacker does this with all sorts of trash.
H3: WP IMO. FD and gutshots will call as well and some two pairs will fold. If you didn't have the Diamond draw I'd be less prone to fire that but I'm pretty weak without the nuts.
H4: Thin for me. If he was really Open shoving a lot then fair enough but you are unlikely to have him crushed so why not wait for better spot.
H5: Hate these spots. Checking seems too weak with others to act and can't fold. Probably OK.
H6: Got to call that! You only need 25%. Even if is only ever KK+ its still not hugely -EV and I'm sure that it won't be just KK+.

H1: Fine, shortstacks gon do this with less than premiums, especially fishy ones. Can't fold AK, although you'll be flipping a lot of the time.
H2: Same really.
H3: No need to go crazy I don't think. You'll have the best hand a lot of the time. Just 3/4 pot it and hope not to get raised.
H4: Depends on how much you like flipping. He'll possibly shove any pair, maybe any ace, and stuf like K5s too. You'll win some, lose some.
H5: Not sure what jamming acheives. Raise, by all means. Looks like they like their hands, though.
H6: Call all day against this villain.
@stude and paul
ty for comments. I agree with ak hands. I need to stop shoving ak while opponent is 100bb+ deep. It's -EV for every other hand than AQ-.
h3: i hate folding the river. If my hand is not best on the turn, its bad situation on river.
h6: need to make calculations for folding/calling. i was so sure he had aa/kk there.
@Paul if villain is a station, bet all day long.
Don't have garphs so far, didn't put much volume in feb. also, I've dropped stakes from nl10 to nl5 so hah. time to rebuild. will get around it after finals.
