Flash! Wu-oooh, Saviour of the Universe

The day started out amazing with me up $35 in the first maybe 300-400 hands. Every flop was an action flop it seemed, and I was being dealt premium AA,KK and QQ like 10% of those hands.

Then I had a long run of around 500 hands where it was mostly break even and I went down a bit to like $25 winnings. Finally, it came around for the next 400 or so and I ended up winning over $35 (3.5BIs) on the 1,100 or so hands. Overall nice day so far. Might play more later. I feel I played very solid all day with only a few tough spots.

Here are some interesting hands.

SB posts SB $0.05, BB posts BB $0.10

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has 9♣ 9♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.25, fold, BB calls $0.15

Standard 2.5X raise from BU.

Flop: ($0.55, 2 players) 9♦ Q♥ 5♥
BB checks, Hero bets $0.40, BB calls $0.40

Fairly connected board so I make my cbet 40cents as they can call sort of wide.

Turn: ($1.35, 2 players) Q♦
BB checks, Hero bets $1.00, BB calls $1.00

Nothing changes, so if they call the flop they usually call the turn. Make it on the larger side at $1.

River: ($3.35, 2 players) T♣
BB checks, Hero bets $3.00, BB calls $3.00

Should i have maybe overbet shoved this river? I think we rule out most flush draws by the large turn bet so he usually has Qx here right which he can't really fold.

Did I miss value?

Pre Flop: (pot: $0.15) Hero has J♥ A♥

fold, fold, fold, fold, MP+1 raises to $0.30, Hero calls $0.30, fold, fold, BB calls $0.20

I'm ahead of his range, in position, and I don't mind multiway with AJs so I just call.

Flop: ($0.95, 3 players) Q♦ 7♥ T♥
BB checks, MP+1 bets $0.65, Hero raises to $1.70, BB raises to $2.31 and is all-in, MP+1 calls $1.66, Hero calls $0.61

I reraise him as I have a monster draw of FD and GSSD. When the other guy raises another 60cents I figure I have to call for the given odds of hitting a clean nut straight or flush.

Turn: ($7.88, 3 players) 2♥
MP+1 checks, Hero bets $5.00, fold

I bet big to protect from full house redraw. What should I have done if this guy reraised again on the flop? Given up?

River: ($7.88, 2 players) 5♥

Could have been a tougher spot if the other guy was aggressive. So please comment on how as played and how to play if he would have reraised again. I guess it's a fold then?

Sickening hand. Bad beat of the day!

Hero raises to $0.35, UTG+1 calls $0.35, fold, fold, fold, CO raises to $1.40, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $1.05, UTG+1 calls $1.05

I figured to call and play my QQ here.

Flop: ($4.35, 3 players) 8♦ 2♠ Q♣
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, CO bets $3.45 and is all-in, Hero calls $3.45, fold

I just check to maybe signal to the guy deep stacked that I am weak and I am fairly certain the midstack will shove if he doesn't bet anyways. I just call to try and induce the deep stack to come along as well.

Turn: ($11.25, 2 players) K♦

River: ($11.25, 2 players) 4♠

Pretty nasty, once they flipped KK I had a feeling I was gonna lose =P

Best hand of the day.

3bet for value baby.

Flop: ($2.55, 2 players) 2♣ 4♥ 8♥
BB checks, Hero bets $1.40, BB calls $1.40

All safe so far. Slightly larger size to protect from FD a bit more.

Turn: ($5.35, 2 players) 6♦
BB checks, Hero bets $3.00, BB calls $3.00

Now I figure he has an overpair 99-AA and I am betting for value.

River: ($11.35, 2 players) 2♦
BB checks, Hero bets $5.41 and is all-in, BB calls $5.41

If he called the last street he obviously has no intention of folding now. Another value bet.

Is this play good?

Today's starting bankroll: $294.08

Today's session: +$36.59 in 1,149 hands 31.49 BB/100

New bankroll : $330.67

All time NL 10 Zoom graph is starting to look decent!

Played a short session last night to lose $5 and played a long one today to win $35 bringing my bankroll to a grand total of $360!!!

I'll post a few tough hands later maybe.

I <3 pretty graphs

I ran so unlucky today in terms of running into flush over flush and set over set but sucked out on a 1 outer trip 5s vs trip jacks on the river.

Pretty sick.

I managed to still win $20 (should have been a break even day with the luck I had). My AA and KK got no action. I missed a ton of flops. Still I managed some profit though.

Bankroll sits at $380 now though!

This is actually a bad play on my part I believe but whatever.

I lose to 68 (not in their range imo), 77, 99 and JJ (99 and 77 are not all that likely as they probably reraise the flop).

This hand REALLY bugged me all day.

Villain is 44/0 over 9 hands with 2 AF. I bet large cause he's clearly fishy.

Turn: ($3.45, 2 players) 4♠
MP+1 checks, Hero bets $2.00, MP+1 calls $2.00

Bet my top pair vs fish. Standard.

River: ($7.45, 2 players) 4♥

Insta-shoves river. Didn't make ANY sense except if he picked up two pair on the turn and a boat on the river. Or is a rare case he bluffs with QT here. Is this a correct fold most likely?

MP+1 bets $6.18 and is all-in, fold

last hand bet bigger ott

river is a clear fold. fish theorem

Yeah maybe like 2.50?

And I hit silver status on Pokerstars today. Yay me?! It's been about 10 days worth only.

Almost gold here on Pokerstrategy. 1 point away! Hehe.

I played about 750 hands and ran into a sicko amount of coolers. My triple aces into slow played quad nines -_- for a stack.

Set over set. Slow played flopped flush vs my top set on the flop.

Still ended up only losing like $4 so I'm ok with it. I'm gonna put in a grind session now after I play some xbox 360!

FUUUUUUUUUUUU

It's a bit smaller because he is a short stacker.

UTG checks, Hero bets $1.36, BTN raises to $2.72, fold, fold

The guy who min 3bets me is 55/0 AF:2 fish over 20 hands only. But it is clear he is a fish.

I just figure his range is tons of broadways here and I can't have too much equity against him meriting a shove.

Is this a clear fold or too weak play?

Crying fold.

Opinions?

standard imo, only hope is for him to have AK and that's it.

Started 4tabling zoom NL 10 today.

Ran SO SO SO cold and about $40 under EV. Got sucked out on left right and center and ran into unavoidable spots (KK vs AA pre, set over set, my 2nd nut full house vs quads etc.)

I think I played good overall but variance kicked my ass today!

More 4tabling action. Put in 2k hands in like 90 minutes. So awesome ♦

Ran $15 below EV but still managed to win $40 (4BIs)

Very nice day for me.

Bankroll now sits at $409. Yaaaay. So excited for that. Feels like a big landmark all the way from my free $50.

Thanks Pokerstrategy

Had a really fun weekend!

Next BR goal is $500 to beat Vonki <3

After that, it's gonna be $600 where I take some shots at NL25. Yeehaw.

I'm baaaaaack!

Played a session today, and won like $15.

I am sad to see nobody posted in my blog this past week or two haha.

I'm really looking to play 2k hands a day until I go to Bermuda on the 21st. Anyone wanna join me?

that's quite sad ♦

posting to break loneliness air

Coming soon: Huge coolers ITT lol

Ran $35 under EV line and just got pwned on so many occasions. I felt like I was playing amazing poker though. My red line was above 0. My showdown line killed me cause of all the coolers. Top of every range.

I had top full house lose to quad 8s, top two pair get sucked out on by bottom pair hitting trips on river, my AA all in vs KJ lost, my AK vs QQ lost both times. Set over set once even =P

I still managed to only lose $20 so I think I got lucky after all of that haha.
