Damn
had a pretty solid session today. getting back to the old habits. most importantly, i felt myself getting tired at the 600 hand mark, and decided to call it a night.
GG, me.
I only had one really interesting hand come up in this session, and it was a -2 BI hand for me :(
I hadn't played a hand in about 4 orbits on this table -- both villains in this hand are tight, sharp, and aggressive. Primary villain just got sucked out on in a 200bb pot by 2nd villain. Others at the table are loose, weak, and not in this hand. Darn :D
I make a looser-than-usual raise from EP, since I've been rocky for a bit, and find myself playing a pot with suited connectors, out of position, against two TAGs. Suboptimal, but at least their lines will be a little more transparent.
I give the first villain a range of 22-TT/78s/45s/34s/maybe 65s
I think the 2nd villain, based on his overcall, is on a drawing hand as well.
Could have made my flop bet a little larger, 75% of pot instead of 50%.
The turn card only helps 99 and 78s. I feel pretty good about my PSB, and even better when I get a smooth call and a fold on this increasingly drawy board. I think an overpair or a set would have reraised me already to protect their hand.
River is dicey, and the villain makes a huge bet. I can't see this TAGgy villain calling two streets with a gutshot draw (although in retrospect, he might have done so with gutshot + pair).
So am I looking at 78? a smaller two pair? a set? or is this just a bluff, because he just got sucked out on in that 200BB pot?
I decided that I'm ahead of a decent part of his range, realize that this bet commits me, and get it all in. I don't think I like the play any more....not because of results, but because 99/78s/gutshot+pair combo weren't prevalent in my mind -- it looked to me like he was drawing to an OESD and got desperate on the river.
Bad read.

And a Gem re: 4-bets
The most profitable play comes down to which is larger, the opponent's shoving range if you 4bet, or your opponent's calling range if you 4bet shove. Then you have to take into consideration pot odds and frequencies.
Three Betting with Deep Stacks
...so I've been playing around with light 3betting and 4bet bluffs, as my standard 20/18/4 style means that my villains start playing back at me, sometimes with the goods, and sometimes w/ shyt. My experiences at Ultimate Bet got me comfortable in 80-130BB pots with 3bets PF. I understood when I should be setmining, not to be playing broadway-type cards, how to put different opponents on ranges, and proper bet sizing.
Maybe it's more precise to say that I was beginning to be aware of the implications of the above topics. Padawan, rather than Jedi. (although I do love the mind tricks)
Anyway, I came across this discussion at LeggoPoker, and thought it was relevant.
"As a general rule, your 3bet calling range should get progressively wider and your 3bet betting range should get progressively smaller as the stacks get deeper."
"The problem here is that as we get deeper, the number of situations where we want a much bigger pot on the flop decrease considerably. With 100BB stacks hands such as high TPTK and overpair hands do well in 3-bet pots since the SPR is such that we can get all of the money in fast enough that RIO and Villain's odds of having flopped two pair/set aren't great enough that we need to account for it.
With deeper stacks we face the problem that even after a decent size 3-bet we could still have offered villain implied odds preflop for flopping sets and we also find ourselves on the flop with enough money behind to offer decent implied odds for draws. Also, since we will be more likely to enter 3-bet pots with cards such as suited connectors, we want to make sure that the postflop pot is large enough to make it easier to get villain's chips in on the turn/river when we hit our draws but small enough that we have the implied odds necessary to call to those draws."
http://www.leggopoker.com/forums/theory/three-betting-deep-stacks-100.html
Definitely need to add this into my game. Especially now that I'm defaulting w/ a 200BB stack, and hopefully greater!!

Absolutely Wack
Well, since my last hand update:
25NL 2,419 hands 28.17 BB/100
25NL 2,419 hands 28.17 BB/100
can't complain
Tough Turn Decision
Villain hasn't raised yet, and is sitting on a larger stack. Seems passive. He calls on the button and calls my Cbet in position. I'm sure I'm ahead. Turn isn't great for me, and I get cold feet when he min-raises me, but I've already got a third of my stack in, and I have an overpair/OESD. If he's got a set, I have 10 outs. If he's got 2 pair, I have 18 outs. I have pretty much no fold equity here, but I feel that there's too much money in the pot and get it all in, as I can't put him on a straight already.
And I suck out massively. thoughts?
Great Board of Limpness
I get it in here all day. Expected to see a set, two pair, or an overpair here. WTF.
SB vs BB Straight Flush
no reads on opponent. Kinda of a loose call, but w/e, I haven't shown down a hand in a while. Flop of victory, I get it all in here all day. Love my 3bet size...what a river.
Possible MisPlay
Question here about my flop play. Here, I called the SB leadout to represent a flush draw. I reasoned that the PF raiser (CO) would push with his overpair. If he flat calls, I have to re-evaluate on a turn diamond, but I called to induce a shove, which I would call. Is this too dangerous a move in a multiway pot, when the SB has led out? I think I have to play this hand differently from early-, mid-, and late-positions....
Fuck Your MinRaises
Here, my pot odds are pretty good PF, but I really should be calling only with JTs. JTo can't continue on too many flops OOP, right? I suck out on the turn, but get it all in ahead, and dodge a boat. I don't like this hand.
JTo AGAIN
God damn it. Here I am, LAGgin it up again. PF is meh. Flop is good. Turn is awful, river is awful.
Awful
This villain buys in for full. I haven't seen him play a hand yet, so I give him a mental tag of 'rocky'. He raises UTG, I call with a meh drawing hand. I have the 2nd nut flush draw, and float his Cbet, as if I hit, I can get tons of value from AK/AQ/AJ/88/TT/AA. When he checks a brick turn to me, it looks like a Cbet with air, and I fire, expecting to take it down vs JJ/QQ/KK/KQ. Surprisingly, he calls! What hands fire on the flop and check call the river? My mind is racing. Is he just getting stubborn with a big pair smaller than an A? (note that I didn't even consider AhXh, and that looks like the most likely line!!!) The river comes, no flush draws complete, my line is strong, and his is weak. I shove and totally lose my shit.
Tough Tough Fold
40/15.6 villain. Pretty tight raising range, esp UTG. I 3bet from SB, and he flat calls. My Cbet is met with a shove. I think he shows up with AA/KK/QQ here more often than not, and he's definitely not intimidated by my 3bet range. Thoughts?
Semi-Tough Fold
I'd been pushing the table around for a bit with hyperaggro play. Not sure if he was just making a move on me or not, but I AM LISTENING TO MY COMMENTERS, and TPTK isn't enough to go to the felt with for this SPR.
Whew. I love Absolute. Retards abound. You should see how many hands I had where people bluff off or shove w/ marginal hands. Unreal.
And now for delicious Valentine's leftovers.

Valentine's Day and Breaking Up
The day-to-day passion just wasn't there any more. I would give my full effort, and only sometimes be satisfied. That's just not FAIR. Was she fucking with me? Playing mind-games? I mean, you think you know somebody after a year or so of being with them. Then you look back and realize that it's complete shit. I know this is a crappy time for a breakup, 2/14, but if you can't ditch somebody that's not doing you any good, you're just going to go down with them.
Memories are never good for this thing. You need your friends around you. Objectivity. Maybe a diary. Or a database.
And so, Ultimate Bet, I'm ditching you. It's been a good run, but you're not what I wanted you to be. I've left a couple hundred in your account, lest I feel the need for some post-breakup action, but I'm banging (profits out of) your younger, looser, less-intelligent sibling, Absolute Poker, after M0niker and Malfaire bragged about her. Sloppy thirds?
Brag: Tripled UB cash investment, ran strong in last 2/3 of time there. 50NL is beatable.
Beat: Not rolled for 50NL. Low winrate. Too many breakeven stretches. Still at 25NL.
Variance: can now 4 table.
My REAL Valentine's Day was key. I told my girl that I wasn't suffering through overpacked restaurants for lesser-quality food. And she understands. Kim's appreciates it when I spend $250 on a good dinner, but like me, it had better be a $250 experience. That means good atmosphere, service, AND food.
That shit does not happen on V-day. Restaurants add more tables, overbalancing the delicate equation that governs the relationship between raw materials, restaurant workers, and happy customers. Too much throughput/WIP and not enough worker bees = unhappy, crowded diners.
Instead I made a bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin (DOUBLE PIG BIATCH!) slathered in mangoes and peaches, crab macaroni/cheese, Bananas Foster, and a decent bottle of Spanish Malbec (sorta dry red). Effin' tasty. Bonus points from appreciative girlfriend. And very little hassle, as we cook together at least once a week.
advice: Do this. Seriously. Get a recipe from allrecipes.com. Spend $30-50 on ingredients. Find a girl that likes to be involved. Print out the recipe, and then highlight stuff she can do. Like chopping or mixing. Respect the rule: you must be drinking while you're cooking. Make sure that you're the one doing the seasoning/finishing touches. And make out with her while it's in the oven, so she's thinking about dessert (you) during dinner. Then baste her.

Godswitched Again (edit: updated for some hands)
These days that I don't lift weights leave me with so much leftover energy. Especially when I have Friday OFF.
BOOYAH.
So I get about 1k hands in, 2-tabling 25NL, for +6BI. God, that felt so good. Finally hitting some flops, showing down winners, and getting enough table image in to make some moves. There's something to be said for sparing use of Fancy Play Syndrome, when you have the image to pull it off.
Then there is Fancy Play Syndrome's retarded cousin, that I'm good friends with. This is the guy that walks up to the cops and asks them if they want to take a hit off his joint. Yeah. We all know him.
So, since it's 2:24am, I'll just make a rough draft and put the hands in tomorrow.
Stacked fool early with QJ vs JT on a AQJr board. Value bet the first two streets, river brings another jack, he leads and calls my shove. Standard.
Rivered Quads, overbet the pot 2x, villain calls all-in. Valuetown. You is here.
Raised AA UTG, 1 caller, board 4cQd2c. I bet point, he minraises, I shove, he calls, shows AcQc, turn Q, river c. Double outtered. :D Who cares, I got it in a slight favorite, and lots of hands were wayyyy behind me.
Missed lots of value. Cold call a 3bet on button w/ KK. Flop comes KQQ 3 ways. Checks to me, I CHECK THE NUTS. mistake. mistake. mistake. turn checks to me, I BET DA POT. Foldzors oh noessss
Weak play continues. Laggy, floaty, big stack doesn't respect me PF. I call a CO raise w/ KhJh on button, blinds come along. Flop Kd8c2s. Chk to PFr, who bets. I call on BTN. Laggy calls along in SB. BB folds. Turn 9d. Checked to me. I don't want to play a big pot with TPGK. I check. River 7s. Laggy makes his expected steal move. I make a crying call, and he turns over two pair that I let him get? I can't bet the turn here, my biggest leak is overplaying TPGK/TPTK. Forced to conclude that this is just variance that happened to help him out and not me. Right??
Nut flush draw in 3-bet pot, two of my suit on flop, we get it all in, I miss.
AK in 3bet pot, Kxx board, we get it all in, oops, he hit his set. ASS!
UTG minraises, MP minraises, I call BTN w/ Qc9c. Flop JcTd8c. YES. checks to MP, who bets pot. I minraise!!! Genius!! Nope, everybody folds. I want all the money in the pot now!! Do I a) raise and hope somebody has two pair? b) call and hope that somebody is drawing to the flush? c) call and hope that I look like I'm drawing?
Raise AK IP. Flop comes AAx. Value bets on three streets. Nobody believes me :D
KcJc IP from UTG raiser. Flop brings two clubs. He raises. I shove. He calls w/ overpair, board bricks. DAMN.
AT vs J2o on T72r board, all in. AT no good :(
AJ > QQ AIPF. :D Not good. I 3-bet bluffed, and then committed myself when IT WASN'T NECESSARY. But I run good.
AA > JJ on raggedy flop
Played this horribly. I've been leaking quite a bit on draws OOP. I try to play them strongly, betting out or checkraising, and it's losing me quite a bit of $$. I hate my line here. I have the nut flush draw OOP in a 4-way pot. Don't mind a bet/fold on the flop, but I take a less-optimal line of check flop and check/raise the river. It just smacks of desperation, and the bet on the river doesn't help at all. What, I was checkraising with 57? Bad.
JJ > 66 + Q6s(?) on 235r board.
this is sick. I put him on an midpair or maybe T9s here. My image is now set to smash the shit out of this table. Time to tighten up.
Flopped stack vs TPTK = more stacks
Genius hand. I love my line, and I think he would have gotten it in even light. Coolered!!
Raised 22 UTG, Cbet Khigh board, two floaters. Turn comes 2. I bet out again, both call. River pairs the board(!!!). They both swing on my nuts, all the way to VALUETOWN, WHERE I OWN A FUCKING CONDO.
My big aggro pot: I raise one limper w/ 66, folds back to him. He calls. Flop is 7c7hQh. I have a 340BB stack, he has 95BB. He overbets $4 into a $3 pot, and I shove on him. No limping hand has a Q, I'm not worried about that. I don't think he can put me on a 7 w/ my raise, and I don't put him on one, the way he bets out. I have stacked this guy twice in the past 30 minutes. He decides HE DOESN'T WANT ANOTHER PIECE OF ME YARRRR. and folds.
ok, I really liked that play. it was image-savvy, it was the right board, I had the right hand, and it was the right opponent-mindset. He'd seen me overbet two boards already, one with the nut full, the other with quads.
Last hand of the night, I get KK, and again overbet a QJx board, but nobody caught a piece and I call it.
I'll post the hand histories tomorrow, hopefully with some more coherent commentary. Christ I sound like a caffeinated 4chan reject. 6bi days will do that

Good Spot for River Bluff?
edited for correct math, woops
effective stax $250, he covers me.
MP is loose and open limps. I call with 7d9d on button. Both blinds come along.
flop Js8h7s. pot $8 (4bb)
SB checks, BB bets pot. He's $600 deep. MP calls, I call (with 6 outs, wtf). SB folds.
turn 3h. $32 pot. (16bb)
BB leads out, bets almost-pot. MP calls, I call.
river As. $122 pot. (61bb)
BB leads out w/ $100 bet. MP folds (a straight). $222 pot. (111bb). I have $205 still (102bb). tank time.
I deliberate, and FOLD.
my image: tight, aggressive. been involved in 2 hands (in position, aggressive, won w/ no showdown) in past 20 minutes early in a session.
got any guesses on estimate equity on this river bluff? or should i wait for better spots?
variance: not rolled for $1/2NL, weak-looking table
