Absolutely Wack

Well, since my last hand update:


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.

Comments:
Great results Colin... I told you Absolute is the place to be (at least at the lower limits). Enjoy the 40/10 players that make up 50%+ of the population < 100nl (just watch out for the variance).
 
are you adjusting your play correctly for 200bb stacks?

i'm having problems with players with drawing hands thinking (sometimes correctly) that they have implied odds to call with speculative hands.

SICK SICK SICK.

glad you made the switch yet? AP = TEH HEATERZZZZ

I have some thoughts on your plays (I don't think that folding the JJ hand when he shoves over is bad given his range, but if you're planning to fold to a shove, then betting is wrong), but hey, are you actually rolled for $50nl?????

Get back down to $50 when you can, IMO. Also, I have some good datamining tools and naz and I can likely hit you with databases so you can track down fish.
 
Ahem, that was meant to be "get back down to $25nl next session".
