One SICK pot I played was with pocket aces. Guy raises to 20. I reraise to 55. Guy cold calls out of the blind, and the raiser calls. Flop comes Q-J-5. Checks to me, I bet out 75. They both call. This pot is getting ridiculously big. Turn is an offsuit 4. Check to me. At this point there is like (55*3) + (75*3) = 165 + 225 = 390 in the pot. I have a little over 400 left, so I just shoved. The guy in the blind folded. The other guy took a little while and called. It was great he didn't snap call because I figured as long as I didn't get snap called I was good. River was a jack which was a little scary (nowhere near as scary as a queen though) and my aces were good. $1200 pot.
Later I got A-A again on the button and made it 30 after a bunch of people limped. Guy in the blind makes it 100. He had me covered, so I was a little scared to play A-A this deep. So I over-raised it a bit (in my opinion) and made it $300 total. He folded. I normally would have made it a bit less (like $240) but I didn't want to get called and have to play super deep with a pretty tough hand to play, even in position. Lot of potential to lose a bunch playing A-A there.
Played a TERRIBLE hand on Sunday that really haunted me for the rest of the day, but I have to just let it go. :-) I raise with K-J offsuit to 15, get called out of the big blind. Flop comes A-A-10. I bet 15, he calls. I figure I have the gutshot so I can bet it. When he called I just didn't really feel like he had the ace. I really put him on a 10, but that was completely based on feel and ignored the fact that he was a 70 YEAR OLD MAN. LMAO. I am such an idiot. But fine, maybe he just has a 10. The turn comes out and it's a 4. He checks, I bet 40, he calls. At this point I should be 100% confident that the guy has an ace. It's completely insane to think otherwise. But the river comes out another blank, he checks, I bet like 110, he insta-calls with A-Q. STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! That one really pissed me off because I've heard people talking about 3 barrel bluffs on podcasts saying that in general, you're just throwing money away doing them. And plus if you just LOOK at the guy and what his typical play style will be, it was SO retarded to throw away the last 110 on him. On the turn, maybe a bad idea but fine. But on the river that's just suicide. Competely stupid. On Monday I played a short session and cashed out +$225. Basically flopped a set and got some value out of an old lady, that was my main hand.
More poker tonight! Probably more Venetian, I'm running good there so far.
