NLHE
(AcTc) I had been very aggressive the previous hand against condor64 and won without a showdown, so I actually figured he would call, but I felt good with the pair of tens. Diamonds were not my friend, though, and even if I was still good on the turn, I wasn't by the river.
Bailed quickly because a Magic match started. Ah, juggling addictions. This comes back to haunt me at the end of the next session…
$4 --> $3.62
6 Hands
BB Special, but my real target is seat 1, who is proving to be a calling station. I probably shouldn't have made the iso raise, and given him a better chance to make a really bad call on the turn.
(KTcc) Seat 1 outflops me. Bah, he check-calls almost regardless of his holdings, it's like playing against Martin! Which I guess should be good in the long run…
(KJo) Look at what seat 5 calls my PF pot bet with...that gets him a note!
This hand is interesting because I played it the way I did based on the guy's name (UrShtsWeek) and avatar (hoodie guy). Nobody folds QQ preflop at microstakes so the outcome was pretty much a given no matter how I play it, but it was going to be three to the flop at worst, and with that name and avatar, I just knew he could be counted on for a nice big flop bet that I could check-raise.
(KJ) Seat 5 continues to play some of the worst poker I've seen...short stacked, but flat-calling any pf raise, not raising. LIke, every time. The table is devolving into who makes the huge PF raise to isolate him. He has been rebuying short after busting. It's like he's throwing a mini-party.
Verification call. It seems like Seat 5 will not fold if he hits any piece of the flop, and that helped support my observations. It's like he's testing a theory. Well, I can't really leave this table until he's done testing.
Ha, I jinxed it, he busts, and is apparently done testing.
Wow, I was writing up my cashout when SOLOMONS came back, so I sit back down.
(AA) I put SOLOMONS "call any pf raise" tactic to the test here, and got a call from someone else. And actually, the guy who called me had, a few hands earlier, called a pf UTG all in overbet with QJo, so I liked a huge raise with AA into both of these guys.
(AhJh) Was going to raise to isolate, but couldn't by the time it got to me. Called the flop thinking both J and A were outs, but should have bailed when the flop missed me like that.
(A7o) Attempts to isolate SOLOMONS are backfiring, so I will tighten back up.
In a couple hands I didn’t capture, I tried to play Magic and poker at the same time, with harmful results to my poker. With my attention shared, I played blunt poker since I wasn’t giving it my full attention, and made a big semibluff with the nut flush draw on the flop after a guy who didn’t seem capable of folding anything made a pot-sized bet. He called and I lost, and I gave up a big chunk of my session net. It wasn’t an awful play as I had 12 outs, but my all in was a huge overbet that ultimately had no fold equity against the player, so I was really gambling with the move, which I don’t think I should be doing at these tables.
