Overall I was pretty happy with this past week's results. I didn't get to play as much as I would have liked, but was busy with happy hours, dinner dates, Super Bowl parties and the like, so I'll take the moderately light week on that tables in exchange for satisfying social interaction. I hear it's pretty +ev. Anyway, I won't get into too much detail as to what aspects of the game I feel I need to work on in this post as I will be posting up a January monthly recap later today, but I will highlight some of my big winners and losers for the week. (Oh, and even though it doesn't show up as a big net hand for me, I did manage to get 1-outtered in a multiway 300BB pot... and yes folks, that's a 2.4% suckout against your's truly.)
Top 3 Losers:
Free money for Villain
Don't know what on earth I was doing here. Villain is playing 42/5/0.8, so when he bets out on not only the flop, but the turn as well, I have to know I'm beat. Oh well, we make mistakes so we can learn from them.
Learn when to 3bet
Probably shouldn't be 3betting here with KJcc, but villain is a habitual big loser at the 100nl game on ABS (-$1.4k over 7000 hands) and plays 45/18/1.3, so I figured I'd be ahead of his range a majority of the time and could take his whole stack if I flopped well. Don't really mind the flop c-bet to see where I'm at, but I don't think I should be calling the minraise if I'm just planning on check/folding the turn. After looking back at the hand, I don't know what card could have come on the turn that would have made me want to continue other than the Tc, and even that is sketchy at best. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't be 3betting OOP with such suspect hands that leave me questioning where I stand when I flop top pair. Bad m0niker.
No free cards
Villain was playing 44/6/0.8 and had been calling my PFR out of position and check/folding the flop a few times now. I put him squarely on a weak ace on the flop and figured I'd get it all in on the turn provided no heart hit. I was fairly comfortable doing this since I was holding the Qh in my hand, but in hindsight maybe I should have just raised him up here. Either way, 3-outters are fun.
Top 3 Winners:
Free money for Hero
Chat history on this table looked like such immediately prior to and after this hand:
Villain wins ($101.20) with (One pair, sixes) -- BS hand where 63cc beat 58ss that somehow got all in
Villain: wow this is easy
Villain: lol... moron
Hero wins ($200.40) with (Three of a kind, threes)
Hero: no sir, that was easy
Villain: not at all, let's play heads up -- sucks HU isn't a solid part of my game yet, and I had to decline (frown face)
Suckouts work too
Don't really know why villain was flat-calling a PFR OOP with AK, or why he was checking on a K high flop, but either way he had me throughly confused as to what he held. I figured I could fire a 2nd barrel on the Q turn, but that obviously backfired. I tried to do the math quick in my head and thought I was getting decent enough implied odds to hit my 2pr or set, but upon further review I certainly need to brush up on my impromptu odds calculations. Should not have called that turn raise, but I'll take the $$$.
More free money
Pretty standard... get dealt overpair vs. 40BB stack, proceed to bet/raise/get it all in against said shorty, pray he didn't play something awful and suck out on you.
