Aubergines don't need butchering. They're vegetables.

Yum yum

Ok culinary posts are over, let's grind!

Played about 4 hours tonnight, only on iPoker as traffic was good. Looks like I should eat mussels and steaks more often ♦

Sunday grindaments!
Let's the grind begin

Several tough hands that I am really not sure about. Comments welcome!

CO: $101.65 (101.7 bb)
Hero (BTN): $224.62 (224.6 bb)
SB: $50.50 (50.5 bb)
BB: $100 (100 bb)
UTG: $284.16 (284.2 bb)
MP: $100 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with K K
UTG raises to $4, MP calls $4, CO folds, Hero raises to $17, 2 folds, UTG calls $13, MP folds

Flop: ($39.50) 3 6 8 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $22, UTG calls $22

Turn: ($83.50) 3 (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $46, UTG calls $46

River: ($175.50) 8 (2 players)
UTG bets $87.75, Hero calls $87.75

UTG is a big fish playing 37/25 after 50 hands. He doesn't fold to 3B.
Was about to shove OTR obv when he donks 1/2 pot
Just wonder of he does it for value with worse than KK (in which case do I have a value shove?). Not sure what to do if he shoves instead.

CO: $126.55 (126.6 bb)
BTN: $50 (50 bb)
SB: $137 (137 bb)
BB: $119.20 (119.2 bb)
Hero (MP): $100 (100 bb)

Preflop: Hero is MP with A A
Hero raises to $3, CO calls $3, 2 folds, BB calls $2

Flop: ($9.50) T 3 9 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, CO bets $6, BB calls $6, Hero raises to $21, CO calls $15, BB raises to $116.20 and is all-in, Hero calls $76 and is all-in, CO calls $95.20

Turn: ($338.90) 6 (3 players, 2 are all-in)
River: ($338.90) J (3 players, 2 are all-in)

BB is a strong reg 22/16, WTSD:27
CO looks like a reg. He plays 23/12 after 80 hands and has bet every time when I checked to him.
So obv I expect CO to bet flop and bb calls makes me think he hasn't a set since being OOP I think he would x/r

He snap shoved the turn.

Dont like the flop or turn donks i prefer c/calling flop as best line because most peoples favourite barrel cards on these boards are kx which improves our hand (and can then proceed to c/c again or decide to go for stacks), or Ax and given his moderate cbetting % means he may well often be checking back ax hands there and so therefore u can calldown and note if he is barreling weak showdown hands. Depending on the guy u could possibly fold river if qx or jx comes up and he fires all 3 barrels.

think the rest of the hands are kinda tricky but dont see anything i wouldnt like to do in the given situations

Totally agree with you.
I think that this board is bad to donk out, unless donking dynamic which I didnt have.
I donked here because he has a lowish CBet but even those villains will CBet on that board most of the time.

I realized I'm only couple of hours grind from getting a stellar on Stars so I'll be zooming today. Tomorrow I will reformat my PC and Saturday I feck off to Italy for Chritsmas!! Which means no poker (playing) till new year then...

189 VPP left ♦

Got my last $50 stellar of the year on PS
This is what's called bonus grind, good old RB/bonus pro
Got my stellar just before finishing...
