Just continuing my hand recap from the weekend. Still at Venetian right now, from Friday night. I think I'll start numbering my hands in case anyone wants to comment on them (PLEASE do!!!!)
Hand 1 : Raise from early position with AK after one limper. He calls. Flop is 10-8-6 with 2 diamonds. He checks, I bet 15, he raises to 30, I fold, he shows 10-9.
Hand 2 : I have J-5 in the big blind and check. I don't remember how many people were in, at least 4 total. Flop is J-6-5 with 2 spades. I bet 6 and get a caller. Turn is a 7. I bet 15 and get a caller. River is a 6 which counterfeits my 2 pair. :P I check, he bets 16, I fold.
Hand 3 : Guy in town for his bachelor party raises to 10 in the cutoff. I look down at Q-J and reraise to 30. He calls. Flop is 6-4-2 rainbow. He has maybe 80 left. He checks, I bet 40, he folds.
Hand 4 : I return from the bathroom and post in late position. 3 people limp and I look down at K-Q. I raise to 18 and get one caller. Flop is K-J-x. He checks, I bet 30, he folds.
Hand 5 : I'm busy eating a sandwich. A guy in early position raises to 7. Two people call. I am on the button and look down at A-K. I reraise to 35. Everyone folds. Raises never look stronger than when someone is eating at the table and raises. Haha.
Hand 6 : I messed this one up. One guy limps and I limp with 9-7 suited. Another guy raises to 12, we both call. The raiser is in position. Flop is K-8-6. First guy checks. I check, but if I'm playing the strategy they use in the WPT boot camp (which I am) I totally should have bet out. Sigh. The raiser checks. Turn is an ace. We both check to him, he bets, we both fold. If he had A-Q, maybe J-J, etc I totally could have bet 25 on the flop and taken that down.
Hand 7 : There is a straddle and 3 limpers. I raise to 30 with K-Q. One caller. Flop is 2-6-3. He checks, I bet 40, he check-raises all-in for 110 more, I fold.
Hand 8 : Guy raises to 12, another guy calls, I call with 3-3. Miss, fold.
Hand 9 : A bunch of people limp. I'm in the blind with A-K and raise to 20. One caller. Flop is J-10-x. I bet 30, get called. Turn and river are both blanks, and it checks all the way down. I lose to 9-9.
Hand 10 : Pocket 10s and I raise to 15 after 2 limpers. Everyone folds.
I go to the bathroom. Guy is talking about how he has spent 99 dollars and has only bought 4 drinks. He is talking to his friend who apparently was a doctor and he is like "You're a doctor - do the math!" His friend told him he would be better off buying needles and heroin, it would be cheaper. And the original guy just kept talking about how he got raped. It was pretty funny.
Hand 11 : I limp with 10-7 of diamonds after a couple limpers. We see the flop 6 ways and it comes A-8-5 with 2 diamonds. Guy bets out 10 and gets one caller. I raise to 40. The original bettor calls. Turn is a 5, and the guy goes all-in. Sigh. He has 35 more and I call. I miss. He had A-10.
Some of the WPT boot camp advice is a little hard for me to understand. I'm basically raising any 8 out+ draw in all situations. But betting out with a draw into 5 people, even with low flush draws, does seem pretty crazy. I wonder if I should dial it back and only bet out into less people, or only do it in position against a ton of people. I don't know. Of course I think if you do that, then you also are taking away some of the reason why they let you limp in or call raises with 5% of your stack or less with things like 2-gap suited connectors. So I'm going to stick with it for now.
The saga continues later! Gotta get back to work.
