Weekend

I didn't play that many hands, I still have a lot of work I have to do, but the weekend so far was good. I run pretty good, winning most flips.

There are some hands I remember.

Hand 1:

Quote:

NL Holdem $0.04(BB) Replayer
Hero ($3.96)
BB ($0.72)
UTG ($5.03)
CO ($4.22)
BTN ($3.53)

Dealt to Hero A

UTG calls $0.04, fold, fold, Hero raises to $0.20, fold, UTG calls $0.16

FLOP ($0.44) K

Hero bets $0.34, UTG calls $0.34

TURN ($1.12) K

Hero bets $0.90, UTG calls $0.90

RIVER ($2.92) K

Hero checks, UTG bets $1.46, Hero folds

UTG wins $2.78

Villain was pretty new at the time, running around 60/16, AF: 1.7. Even though I think his river bet is pretty weak, it's pretty hard for me to beat anything here. Yes, some Kx hands, but I think there aren't that many in his range that haven't made 2p on that board (KJo, K9o). Maybe some Qx hands, QJ, QT. I doubt he floats flop and turn with Ax.

Hand 2:

NL Holdem $0.04(BB) Replayer
SB ($4.18)
BB ($3.74)
Hero ($4)
CO ($0.60)
BTN ($6.27)

Dealt to Hero A

Hero raises to $0.12, CO calls $0.12, BTN calls $0.12, fold, fold

FLOP ($0.42) 3

Hero bets $0.30, CO folds, BTN raises to $0.60, Hero calls $0.30

TURN ($1.62) 3

Hero checks, BTN bets $0.82, Hero calls $0.82

RIVER ($3.26) 3

Hero checks, BTN bets $2.44, Hero folds

BTN wins $3.10

This hand was on the same table, a few hands later against the same villain. I know I raped this hand but still going to post it, public shame helps me to play better. I was still a little confused from hand 1 (that happened 2 hands earlier).

I normally don't open A9s in UTG but I thought the table was good enough so that it could be a profitable open. I should have c/f the turn, but yeah. 3b-ing this flop is probably spew because he never folds anything he c/minraises with here and we're most likely flipping at best.

So far so good. Only 1k hands though but I don't plan on playing 10k hands of 4NL either.
