Double Me Up

Longish session

November 8, 2007 · 2 Comments

Just finished a longish session (by my standards) and finished up just over a buy-in. I was 4-tabling tonight to try and get used to it. Meh, it’s not easy and I don’t like not having time to really pay attention to the table dynamics, but I do see the advantage in playing more hands per hour.

Here are a few hands:

Yuck ! This is the first time in ages I have stacked off with TPTK. Even with checking behind on the turn for pot control, with 2 villains, the pot was already huge and if I called the flop I had to call the river and then make a crying call to the raise at the end. Ouch

Villain had been raising way too much and so I was pretty sure I was ahead of his range. Problem is that he was also a calling station and A8o is still a marginal hand. Oh well, I think as played, I lost the minimum.

I so should have raised this river for value! Damn!

AA > QJs. Made a thin value bet on the river, hoping to get called by a pair of Kings or Queens.

Aces again. No idea what villain had here, but probably a flush draw. Maybe a check call on the river could have induced a bluff and got more value.
