I don’t usually get much time to play during the weekend – I have better things to do like spend time with my gf and actually going outside lol ! But when I do play a session, it’s nearly always a fun and profitable experience. This weekend was no exception – I only played ~700 hands and won almost 2 buy-ins bringing my bankroll to $772, an amount where I can seriously start considering taking a shot at $50NL
I think I’ll wait until I hit $800, and then single table the new limit on a fishy table. I will drop back down to $NL25 if my bankroll dips to $700
Anyway, I’m not there yet, here are a few hands from this weekend:

Yuck, I hate everything about this hand. First of all, I hate having KQ out of position – I never know what to do it. I’m leaning towards fold or raise it, and I think limping with it is a leak at full-ring. I like my call on the flop. I was keeping worse hands in and keeping the pot small for my TPGK, and anway my hand couldn’t take a reraise. Villain’s check-raise should have told me my single pair is no good. I mean he’s not doing that with KT or worse after my call on the flop. Very bad play by me.

I knew I was behind here to at least on overpair, but I got the maths wrong when working out my pot odds and equity, lol. Bad call.

This is why you shouldn’t cold call a raise from the blinds with a hand like QJo. If you hit, your hand is so easily dominated and you’re only ever getting called by a better hand.

No idea what villain had here, but his c-bet on the flop just looked fishy to me. I spent a lot of time thinking about this before taking action on the flop. His stats were very LAG and his-bet just looked like he didn’t want any action. I was either going to fold or raise this. Calling would have been the worst option. I think villain would play AQ or AK like this and I didn’t want to give him a cheap turn card.

This hand was a dream come true – A multiway raised pot where I flop a set on a high card board. I was definitely betting out here as I was certain everyone got a piece of it. With hindsight I don’t like my check on the turn, because I missed value, but I think the check made everyone think my bet on the river was just a steal attempt. Note the way everyone called my value bet on the river!

To your last hand, I’ve done similar things with sets. As the saying goes you are usually very far ahead or very far behind, depending on the texture of the flop I’ll often start aggressively, but if the turn doesn’t worry me I’ll slow down to try and keep my opponents in the hand.
