11/1 Results

$96.74 (+$4.54, +7.90 Rakeback)


(A9s) I played it passive preflop because Uncle Leo was pushing all in preflop about every three hands, and was ready to call him with my A9s. He didn’t oblige. I felt certain there were no overpairs on the flop, so when NashCarr reraises me, I feared a set or two pair, but not enough to get away from his small stack.


(AA) See, a maniac like Uncle Leo at your table can really mess up your game. This guy was raising all in preflop so frequently, I played aces like I was in Jasonland. I still took it down, but that could have been ugly. Uncle Leo was supposed to push! I hate it when maniacs don’t cooperate.


(JJ) Villain’s preflop raise then flat call of the reraise felt like AK so the flop worried me, but I c-bet anyway when he declined to bet.


I knew the fucker was on the club draw, seen it so many times with the quick, flat calls of pot-sized bets. The ace hits, and I’m left wondering if it was the ace-high club draw or not. Fucking donkey, of course it was. My bet was practically a blocking bet, and I almost checked it, but people do that with any club draw, and I didn’t want to open the door to be bluffed out.

On the hand after aggroing my way to inducing a fold on the river after betting on every street, I raise with KJs. My opponent from the previous hand pushes on me, and I have to put him on anger tilt; he wants to play back at me and thinks I’m just running over the table. I hate that I’m behind an ace with this hand, but I have to call based on short-term image, and you can see why.


Why we raise with our premium pairs preflop. (Whiskyjar had QQ and limped UTG)


(Kd8d) Ouch, I knew at least one of the two had to have the flush and I was on a four outer, and folded like a good boy. I hit the boat though, so I guess I played it wrong.


(7s2s) This is how we fold flush draws when we don’t get the right price to chase.


Obviously not thrilled with A9s, but you have to call the tiny stacks in this spot, the range is pretty huge. I imagine in bigger games, where a tiny stack like that is $20 - $80 or whatever, the opposite is true: it is a short-stack strategist pushing with premium cards. At microstakes, it’s someone who would rather gamble away $.75 than cash out for it.


True spainR is so easy to play. I swear, it really was the True. The nuts preflop stay the nuts on the flop…I really thought villain was going all the way, too. Turn fold surprised me.


NLHE

$4 -$6.23

91 Hands

30% of non-blind flops seen…a touch high.


Really?! 91 hands for a smidge of sugar? I thought I played pretty well over all, and had good cards to boot. Feels like I should be up more.


This calls for an O8 session.


O8 is a harsh mistress.


But she’s hard to leave.


$5 - $7.31
