friday success
i stayed out of a definite -EV situation by skipping the tables on friday night. tonight i got home from work and got in about an hour. -3 BI, which i’m beginning to think is a weekend trend for me. saturday nights are horrible it seems.
the tables are almost all closed down by the time i get home, and the ones i do find seats at have at least 2 players who just want to win big or go home. but, by the time i figure out who they are, i’ve already folded to a big turn bet, and someone else busts them out.
there were 2 50NL tables alive, so i sat in at some 25NL.
my 2 biggest hands:
i squeezed because Villan 1 is playing 90/70, and Villan 2 knows that. Villan 1 is also a calling station.
second biggest hand of the night
i don’t even know what the hell i did.
the third one was QQ<AA vs someone with 35bb and the habit of betting big. i hate tossing off full stacks QQ v AA, but against someone under 40bb, it doesn’t bother me.
nothing went particularly well. i’ll see what tomorrow brings, but for now, i think a pillow will make me happy.
ZOMG BET THAT FLOP ALL DAY
Raise to at least $4 on the turn, and I probably put him AI on the river because imo, his range includes a lot worse hands (J9, 2 pairs, some sets)
August 24th, 2008 at 2:29 pmWhere do you play that only has two 50NL tables open?
August 24th, 2008 at 9:42 pmHand 1) Im fine with how you play it TPTK in a 3bet pot is the nuts imo
Hand 2) Just sick hope you gave him lots of abuse.
August 26th, 2008 at 7:19 pmI think you added hand 1 later. Def bet ~7 on the flop. TPTK is the nuts vs these morons. If you get c/r, I’d fold, but if he c/c I’m going broke most of the time. Plus there are some straight draws possible. Get the pot going now.
Ideally, you bet 7, get a call, pot’s $22 and you have $14 behind on the turn, very easy to get it in.
August 26th, 2008 at 10:52 pmHand 1: Yeah, bet bigger on the flop, but since he gave you action, just shove the turn…anything he calls 7 with he’s going to call 16.
Hand 2: Multiway pot that has likely hit the field pretty hard = bet here.
Both hands are standard weekend hands. Long term, the weekends have to be more profitable than the weekdays, I would think, but they sure are swingier.
