Gonna stick up the biggest hands that I remember from the Unibet game - not that I was in it too long!!! No harm getting thoughts, and know that one will get ripped to shreds.Heading off for the weekend so will check-in tonight and then Sunday.
My thoughts on the players at the table so far (fwiw):
Dorey: Had opened UTG 60-70% and had folded to 3bets every time. Had 3bet me 2-3 times and never flatted, also 3bet a couple of other times, so his standard line seemed to be a 3bet if he's playing vs a raise at all.
Seat 1, Seat 2, De Korver: All 3betting frequently, raising and re-raising to 2-2.3BB max. Opening fairly often but De Korver opening almost all hands he gets offered once the levels his 75/150.
Gary Clarke/Nicky Power: Gary trying to open at least once a round and being put under pressure by 3-bets almost every time. Not having much luck but biding his time. Nicky playing very tight and letting the Scandies/Dutch create the action for him.
Seat 5: Seems to be loose passive and the value of the table.
Bops isn't in any of these hands and was to my right in Seat 7.
Hand 1.
Blinds 50/100. Stack ~17k.
Clarke opens in MP1 to 250
3, possibly 4, callers inc Seat 5 and me from the BB with Q10
Flop: 689
I check
Clarke bets 800
Seat 5 calls
I re-raise to 2800
Clarke folds
Seat 5 calls
Turn: 3
Hero?
Hand 2:
Blinds 75/150. Stack 20k.
I open to 400 from MP1 with 99
Clarke and Power both call from the SB and BB.
Flop: 410J
Check, check,. I bet 875, Clarke folds, Nicky calls.
Turn: Q
Hero?
Hand 3:
Blinds 100/200. Stack ~24k.
Dorey opens UTG to 500.
Seat 1 re-raises to 1100. I've just come back to the table to see him having bet 2.5k on the river into Nicky and folding fairly quickly to a re-raise to 5.4k on a 1010984 board (or similar) so this makes me think he's picking on the 90% chance of a fold from Dorey & he's looking to get some chips back after that dent (tilting/chasing, whatever).
I 4bet to 3400 with AK
Dorey folds.
Seat one flats (thought he had ~15k but had about 18k).
Flop:
8JK
I lead for 5700.
Seat one min-raises.
Hero?
Hand 4:
Blinds 150/300/25. Stack 24k.
I open UTG+1 to 750 with 79
Dorey UTG+2 3bets to 1700.
All fold and I call saying "you've 3bet me 4 times now, you can't have premium every time can you?". Thoughts?
Flop 3910
I check.
Dorey bets 1900.
I call.
Turn 5
Check, check.
River Q
I check.
Dorey bets 5400.
Hero?
Hand 5:
Blinds 200/400/50. Stack ~16k.
De Korver (EPT Champ) opens UTG to 1k.
I flat call with 99.
Seat 5 ships the shortstack from the blinds for 4K.
De Korver re-ships his 16k.
