Booked a good one



So a couple of my friends have confronted me about my river call in this hand http://www.pokerhand.org/?991695 I really don't think the river is an issue. My raise on the flop was designed to get a larger pair to come over the top and let me know I'm no good. I think it actually just worried him about me flopping trips, but either way he isn't going to re raise me. On the turn he slow plays, not considering all the cards that can kill the action. Or maybe he thinks I have quads or something. ANYWAY, on the river I'm getting 4:1. And I ran some hand ranges on pokerstove. I decided that A6, JJ-77 was an extremely fair range. Don't get all fed up with A6 though. A6 is representing EVERY SINGLE hand I can POSSIBLY beat. So that takes into account all bluffs and non bluffs I can beat. With this range I have 34% equity! Clear call. Even if we include AA-77 I'm still 24% equity. And still a +ev call on the river. So I hope that clears up the river.

I actually ended up 6 tabling full ring tables today for a few hours. I ran 3 on bodog (max amount of tables) and they were way way easier than the 3 full tilt tables I ran. But then I checked out Fruity Pros blog, who is another $200 6max Full tilt player, and he just had an enormous list of him getting hands and destroying noobs. I realized that I shouldn't give up on the 6max just yet. I haven't been getting paid off for two weeks, and I was super confident I could have the same results if things just started to go my way a little more.

So I made about $400 on bodog full ring and lost $350 on full tilt showing down the nut flush or better and losing my only two showdowns. But I put in a 400 hand 6max session on fulltilt and actually got paid off in several hands! Its crazy how much getting paid off counterfeits all the bad beats. Anyway, here are some low lights.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995154 So this guy folded KK on the flop full ring style. An immediate sign that full ring might be a little easier.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995158 God I hate this game.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995159 These are the pots that happen over and over again that have prevented me from making any considerable profit in the last couple weeks. Without any big pots to counteract, I'm stuck playing break even poker.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995163 Sorry sir, if you thought a min raise was suspect 6handed, it's certainly not gunna fly 9 handed.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995164 O COME ON ALREADY!

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995167 Obviously... man this site is suspect.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995170 I mean, CLEARLY i'm supposed to put him on AK limping in the small blind.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995171 I feel like all of my hands were like this, and fruity pros just ended up with an all in from AQ. PAY ME DAMNIT.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995177 This hand was super tricky for me. If I make a decent c-bet on the flop, and he shoves, I have to call with getting over 3:1. So I'm kind of handcuffed. On the turn though, I feel I certainly have to bet, and I make an interesting sized bet to take the pot down. How would you play it given the stack sizes?

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995185 Standard laydown.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995190 So annoying. After all this mess I actually only ended up netting 80 bucks. Mr A7 took my other 90. Lame.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995194 I LOVE this hand. I played it aggressive and ended up free rolling for $440. Ship it.

http://www.pokerhand.org/?995197 LOL, this would only work on bodog.
