Four!!! Four Four Four

I guess this was a pot that carried some luck, history played it's part.

Player to my left always raises from the BB if limped too, C-bets OOP and Folds to re-raise or goes weak if called. He habitually raises light with unco-ordinated hands Q7off 93off etc or any two suited cards.

Player to right called my preflop raise with 7-3 suited flopped his 7 and although I was very aggressive with my JJ he called me down to river hitting his 3 for 2 pair. I have a not on hm saying he overvalues top pair any kicker.

So limp limp limp I make up blind expecting the raise which I'm calling and floating. It comes 36c as predicted, he tends to raise less with a hand hoping for action and 70c plus AA or KK. All fold to button who flats calls, now he would usually raise with a hand, but like all 3c/6c players defends his button, rightly or wrongly.

By the time it comes to me 90c in the pot 30c to call 3-1, I'm suited and gapped (wide) but unless dominated or versus a big pair probabley only a 60-40dog so I call.

Flop is dreamy, flush draw out but nice, as first to act I dont mess and make a pot size and BB folds, button thinks and goes all-in. Hmmmmm I rule out JJ as he would havbe raised pre, he would have come over top with AA, KK QQ pre as well but then I'm beating those, he could have a 4 which is unlikely more a flush draw either way the flop is too nice to fold. So I call and see I have his 46 dominated ish. I expected 2 high cards and a chop but thats poker.

No he picks a straight draw except the 7 gives me a house and the low card increases my win chance to 25%, I need any 7 or 3 with almost 70% to chop, but the river comes the 3 and he is well pissed, never expected I call him and pop up with a better four than him.

Yay

$202-78

Table Selection

Table selection is becoming more important, I find versus most 3c/6c players I feel confident.

Problems comes when you raise and get 3/4 callers each hand on a 6 seater

Say I've got AK
1 will have QJ or KQ or Ax weak
1 will have 2 suited cards or a 67 89 910 etc off
1 will have a small pair

Just so hard to feel happy with a flop that doesnt come AAK and when does that happen?

So I have a plan my standard raise with anything is 24c, I boost that to 30 then by 1BB till they stop calling in numbers.

Failing that I just play super tight and go in very strong with premium hands.

or just move on to easier pastures

Cash Out!!

I broke $300 last week, so outcomes $100 for me, £60 in real money.

To me 3 weeks to make $100 on 3c/6c tables which I'm ok with.

As usual then started losing, not playing bad as such more not concentrating or taking notice, bluffing calling stations that I know not too.

Some bad ones, JJ pressured a donk pre-flop he pushed he had $6 total so I called J10suited I had him dominated, he won rivering a straight, had the nerve to say JJ never wins and it was a bad call, hello give me JJ over J10 anyday. Fact he would have busted AA, KK, QQ he didnt seem to grasp, let him think JJ never wins.

So down then up

$189.00 is at the moment.

Good Times Even Loosing

I have been super aggressive over the last 2 weeks and done very well bank roll up to $260ish which is cool at 3c/6c was nearer $280 but git beat in a few all-ins.

Was to the left of a habitual button raiser 27c everytime in 15 hands I picked up AA, AK and JJ

I squeezed him hard each time and he folded, picked up QQ he bet his 27c I re-raised to $2 as per usual and pissed he goes all-in AJoff cool, flops AJ had Q of diamonds 3 came but not a fourth, lucky fella.

Flopped a Ace high diamond flush checked got a pot better board J high, I re-raised and pot bet the turn, only for them to have J10off and hit runner runner 10s for the house.

Moved all-in on the flop v a super loose player with AKhearts had 2 overs to the board and nut flush draw and a gut shot, didnt make it, but hey at the time I thought hed fold and if not potentially 9 hearts, 3 aces, 3kings, and 4jacks made for too many outs to pass up a move, flop 7h 10c Qh, he had called my pre-flop raise he had QJoff.

I was described as a maniac today, if you play with $2 at my $10 table and you raise from the button and me in the SB or BB have AA, AK, QQ, KK JJ etc. I am re-raising you all-in.

Bank roll $258.90

Almost Air

Limped round to me in the SB, I raised to 36c and BB folds, one caller, flop nothing I bet pot, called, bet 1/2 pot called, checked river when flush hits, in order to call bet if not huge, called J3 suited. I figured he's putting me on a steal or AK or AQ and his 3 is good no its not.

Bluffing with Air, please do

Villain bet hard on quite a few hands versus small stacks who when betting their last few cents on the river he folded.

One pot he bet hard all the way when the short stake pushed in his last 30c on the river with the pot at almost $7 villain folded 30c to win $7 had to be a bluff and with nothing.

Hand villain raise to 18c I called from button with KJ as I had position and 18c was not huge for this table normally 24 to 30c with premium hands.

Flopped a J and villain bet out as I expected, I called turn 3rd heart, little worried but at least I have the King of hearts, he bet 3rd of the pot I felt this weak so raised, he called turn and 4th heart for the flush comes, he could have had the Ace but I felt not, he pushed I called he had nothing but ace high.

He bluffed so often I stuck with this one it just felt right.
