nu cribz
So.
I moved to Dallas finally. All right. New place right downtown. Sweet pool. Cheap rent. Near my hot lady. More about that in my personal blog. This is about POKER. And thankfully both my new roommates are interested in the game. One is a live-only player that is solid, if loose and not quite aggro enough. The other is a newbie to the game.
We signed him up to Full Tilt last night with $200 behind him, and immediately implemented PokerTracker. Never has skill been so immediately baselined. He's got Harrington and Phil Gordon under his pillow and on the shitter. LOL.
Lately, I've been involved more in where-do-I-hang-my-mirror and Jesus-it's-a-45-minute-drive-to-work, and not are-my-aces-good-on-this-TJKr-flop. Sad. The side benefit of teaching my buddy is that vocalizing the tight aggressive strategy reaffirms it for myself.
still didn't help me out of my current funk.

Pre-flop:
reyscado folds. minimag62 calls. kdorritie raisesto $.20. (naturally, I have to raise here. I need to drive out weaker hands behind me.) onegreenchip re-raises to $.65. DCFladsethfolds. Degenerate22 folds. minimag62 calls.kdorritie calls.
Flop (board: 5h Qc 9c):
minimag62 checks. kdorritie checks. (I've been Cbetting constantly at this point. Now I'm doing it for value.) onegreenchipbets $1.25. minimag62 folds. kdorritie calls.
Turn (board: 5h Qc 9c 9h):
kdorritie bets $.10. onegreenchip calls. (what kind of suck bet is this? he called my raise, and now is min-betting? I put him on some sort of flush draw. Maybe a nine. A nine doesn't bet here, though. Well, if he's got a flush draw, he's drawing dead. I'll call here and see if my weakness induces a bluff on the river.)
River (board: 5h Qc 9c 9h 6s):
kdorritie goes all-in for $4.74. onegreenchip calls. (YES)
Showdown:
kdorritie shows 9s 4s.
kdorritie has 9s Qc 9c 9h 6s: three nines.
onegreenchip shows Qd Qh.
onegreenchip has Qd Qh Qc 9c 9h: full house, queens full of nines.
onegreenchip wins $13.57 with full house, queens full of nines.
(in retrospect, I guess he was getting it all in no matter what I did on the turn. However, I really like the line I took b/c of my Cbetting past, and the display of weakness.)

Pre-flop:
NoLoSe folds. mashgar folds. projectuber folds. onegreenchip raises to $.35. (easy button raise) hammerfan calls. (easy SB from a 54 / 16 / 1.4 moron with a big stack) pretty24 calls.
Flop (board: Qc Ts Jd):
hammerfan checks. pretty24 checks. (I have middle pair and a straight draw, and everybody else checked. I think a continuation bet is safe. I expect a call wiht anything from hammerfan.) onegreenchipbets $1.05. hammerfan calls. pretty24 folds.
Turn (board: Qc Ts Jd 4d):
hammerfan checks. onegreenchip checks. (villain chooses to not bet with a straight draw or a flush draw on third street, yet he called me. smells like a straight draw or middle/bottom pair. I opt to keep the pot small, and check behind. Villain hopefully notes that I Cbet flop and checked turn)
River (board: Qc Ts Jd 4d Qd):
hammerfan bets $2.50. onegreenchip calls. (villain bets the pot. bullshit. you didn't protect your Queen on the flop OR the turn with a draw-heavy board? not trips or full house. And you called the flop bet with just two diamonds? this guy could conceivably be 'slowplaying' a Queen, he's dumb enough for that. I don't think I can raise. I raise here against a TAG)
Showdown:

Flop (board: 6s 3s Ks):
projectuber bets $1.20. onegreenchip calls. (hmm. Continuation bets are part of his game. Scary board. I have second pair and a flush draw. From the armchair, I HATE my line. Can I raise against this opponent? Or is this a clear fold? A call is wrong against an aggressive opponent who doesn't appear scared of this board.)
Turn (board: 6s 3s Ks 3d):
projectuber bets $2.45. onegreenchip calls. (i can't even comment from here on out. I just STOPPED THINKING and went into donkey mode. Foremost in my head was 'he wouldn't play a flush draw like this. I can shove him off it. If I spike a 9 or a spade, I might even be good. Reality: I have two outs)

(Look at this guy's stats. What do you think he's going to do. Of course, this is exactly the way I'd play a flopped flush, but how often does that happen? I'm completely embarrassed by the shit play I showed on this hand. This hand is a perfect example of why this blog exists: TO EMPHASIZE THINKING PLAY.)

this is horrible
I played a few hands well, and a few HORRIBLY. Like, seriously horribly. At both tables, I had the same TAG multitabler on my right, and different LAG / maniacs on my left. This is a decent recipe for making money -- respect the guy in front of me, and recognize that the donkey on my left is going to be calling with the 2nd best hand a lot of the time. My stats for the night do NOT reflect this. I think I should have been something like 20/18/4 to take full advantage of these two donkeys.
What ended up happening towards the end of the night was that my aggression got noticed and attacked. People were verbally complaining about my Cbets, and re-raising me so light that it was silly. If I hadn't gotten carried away with a few hands, I would have had a great session. Alas...
