Maybe this isn't the most interesting format but since I wrote down details from all of these hands, I'm just going to continue listing them all out here. At this point I'm still at the Venetian on Friday night.
Hand 1 : I have A-10 in the small blind. I call, and 8 people total are in. I think you could probably make an argument for raising here. I don't have a speculative hand and in a multiway pot like this with 8 people in, I could probably raise it up to 22 or 24 from the small blind. But I didn't. Flop came out A-10-6 with 2 hearts. I bet 11, everyone folded.
Hand 2 : This one was a little tilting, not too bad but it was annoying because I was already losing. It folds to me in technically early position (one spot over from middle position). I have A-10 suited, and I fold. I'm trying to play super strict position preflop and that for me is a middle position hand, so I folded. Of course the flop came out Q-8-8 (queen of my suit) and knowing my current strategy, I would have c-bet. Then the turn was the jack of my suit, giving me a gutshot royal draw, and I would have bet again. River gives me the royal - king of diamonds. :P
Plus my boy Johnny Dyzzl hit his first live royal this day too. It would have been sick if I hit one within an hour after, across the country. But no good.
Hand 3 : AK under the gun, raise to 10, everyone folds.
I left the Venetian after that, and ended up losing $142. Not a huge deal, but just the start of a lousy weekend for me. I'll continue the drama here in my next blog entry.
BTW is anyone reading this blog? If so drop a comment in! Even if it's "you suck". Haha.
You suck, just kidding. I want to here more about your new strategy and whatbyounlearned at boot camp. I am to cheap to pay and go learn myself. I will be in Vegas in march.
ReplyDeleteCool, I wrote down some notes after the boot camp sessions. I'm getting them all typed out now, and I'll send them over when I'm done!
DeleteAnd I'll see you in March! :-)
