    a few donkament hands

    Monday night game at the Fitz, 75 FO with 47 runners. 6k starting stack. These are probably all fairly basic but thought I would post a few hands to celebrate our new venture.

    Hand 1: villain has about 18k and I have about 17k. He's been very active pf and picking up lots of small pots uncontested. He's playing quite well and has shown he can lay down a hand also. I have been my usual rocklike self (or so it would appear), only hand I have shown down has been KK which held up AIPF vs AQ. I 3-bet him from the BB in the last orbit if that has any relevance, he folded quickly.

    25/200/400 level.

    I'm BB with Qs7s.
    Folds around to villain in the CO and he limps.
    SB limps.
    I check my rubbish.
    Pot = 1,425.
    Flop is As Jx 3s.
    SB checks, I check and villain obliges with a 700 bet.
    SB folds and I CR to 2000.
    Villain tanks, then makes it 5k.

    I use my usual colour blindness excuse (it's actually true) to ask him how much he has left. He replies with genuine (my read) nervous vibe.
    I 4-bet all-in.

    Everyone hates this, right?


    Hand 2: A quare one. Villain 1 is Paddy Hicks. Elder reg in the Fitz - somewhat bizarre playing style but does enjoy limp-raising with his monsters. He is having a very strange evening of PF all-ins (3 so far) with Villain 2, an elder lady whose name escapes me. They have been shoving and calling each other with 25BB+ stacks with Ace-rag, KQs etc.

    100/800/1500 level

    FT bubble and we're playing 5-handed. I have 38k and the average is about 28k. Villain 1 has ~33k, Villain 2 has ~ 36k.

    I'm on the button with TT.

    Villain 1 limps and Villain 2 insta-ships for her whole stack.

    Your move Meester Bond, fwiw Villain 2 is exhibiting weakness tells when I tell her I'm more worried about Paddy.


    Hand 3: final table, 7 handed.

    Villain 1 is poor, passive player - no concept of M etc, being blinded away. Villain 2 is big Stuey, loosey-goosey.

    200/1000/2000 level

    I have ~45k, Villain 1 is very short with only about 6k, Villain 2 has ~70k.

    I'm in the SB with Kh3h. Stuey limps UTG, folds to me and I complete. BB checks.

    flop is a reasonably sexy 7h6d5h giving me second NFD and the idiot end of a backdoor straight draw. I check and Villain 1 ships in his remaining 4k. Stuey makes it 20k and I (wonder why I didn't lead the flop but where do we go from here?)

    Hand 1:
    Call 700 on flop.

    As played the 4 bet based on the read is cool hoping he will fold his A rag.

    Hand 2:
    Snap fold.

    Hand 3:
    I take it your man Stuey has 70k.
    Could go either way on this depending on payouts.
    If all the money is at the top shove it in.

      hand 1 is ok if you got the read right, if not its still not that bad a spot if you don't mind gambling

      hand 2 is a fold, not really because of the guy who pushed but because there is still another guy to act if he calls aswell then you are in really bad shape

      hand 3 its allin or fold nothing wrong with either. if it were me i think i would ship maybe

        1 - I hate it, you're only repping what you have and if the guy has any clue he should be snapping with his entire range. I'm guessing he called with his A rag and you pinged the flush? Just call the 700 and go from there.

        2 - I'm happy enough to fold here, I don't mind getting it in either though. I guess if I was robbing enough blinds i'd let it go.

        3 - Gambooooooooooooool, I doubt he's ever folding anything though, but we're in decent shape against his range.

          from memory:

          1st = 1200
          2nd = 700
          3rd = 500
          4th = 300
          5th = 200
          6th = 175
          7th = 125

          (Fitz do this stupid thing whereby they try to pay everyone who makes the FT for the smaller donkaments, silly but there ya go)

            Hand 1: I lead, and don't like a c/r. I don't really like your 4bet cos there are so very few hands that he can bluff with here apart from lower flushes. I sincerely doubt he has one pair hands here much like other people are suggesting? Maybe I'm out of touch with live poker! You put a lot of weight in your reads, so I guess with that fire away. I wouldn't be as confident in mine, but I'm no good with soulreading .

            Hand 2: Vs Paddy and this villain 2 with reads on her, I snap.

            Hand 3: Lead the flop as you say, and I just fold now. Stuey does not like folding

              results fwiw:

              hand 1; he folded after a think.

              hand 2: I folded, Villain 1 insta-called with AQ and Villain 2 showed Qd4d. 4 on the turn obv.

              hand 3: I folded. Stuey showed As7s and Villain 1 had T6 which made 2 pair on river. Qh on the run obv.

                I think you put up results a bit early, esp considering that the comments have been a bit bi-polar so far.

                H1: don't CR. Call the 700.

                H2: i call pretty quick, you posted a lot of reads, and if they are accurate, then you chould crush their combined range.

                H3: Pretty easy fold. We have 12 outs sometimes, but only 3 others. The odds aren't there.
