I had some things that I wanted to blog about, but for some reason they have now slipped my mind. Hopefully I’ll remember before I finish typing.
I have played a bit in the last few days. I’ll just start out with a graph of the month and my stats:
Not too shabby. I’ll take 18ptbb/100 any day (or month of that matter). I had a couple long frustrating matches with lots of WTF hands, but instead of posting with a dozen hands, I am just gonna pick out a couple of the really interesting ones.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3315044 – Tough spot. Early in the match, so no real reads but pretty sure villain is a donk. Ok, so I am pretty sure check/call here is really bad, because the villains range is pretty polarized here with either a strong made hand like set/two pair/or at least AJ that is never turning their hand into a bluff, but can’t bet the river for value OR he has the flush draw, which is always betting. So the question is should I shove for value assuming he can’t fold 2 pair/AJ or should I just check/fold. Kinda leaning towards c/f, but that might be results oriented. I donno.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3323840 – This one is more interesting because of the opponent. We had been playing a long match where he has been running quite good. He was SUPER passive, and I don’t think ever bluffed in about 300 hands and just about never put in a raise. We are also almost 200bb’s deep. I was really surprised by his raise on the turn, and just felt like it had to be the flush. I honestly considered folding the river. That said… should I be putting in a raise somewhere here? Or just gotta go with reads? I was pretty surprised when he flipped up only Q9o.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?3320952 – Lastly just a hand for fun. God this was so great, if you look at stack sizes, the villain only had $11 behind on the flop. But I guess 25-1 is no good against my range. Loooooooooool. Tyty.
Hmmm, can’t remember what I wanted to say, so I guess it’ll have to wait till next time.
