[Garland]

Location: Casino Arizona in Scottsdale, AZ
Stakes: $20/$40
Players: Loose aggressive game. It’s loose, but not quite as loose as the better Bay 101 or Commerce games tonight. Fairly aggressive game, of the likes I haven’t seen in awhile. Not tricky aggressive. On flop betting, you can expect callers for a single bet with just overs. I can only give it a borderline *** of 5 stars.

Principal players:

UTG – Dealer I later find out his name is “Billy”. I’ve only played with him for an hour or so. At the very time of playing this hand, I find he’s somewhat loose aggressive, but I don’t have any reason to believe he’d be too far out of line (until another half hour/hour).

SB – A relatively new player. I don’t know too much about him.

BB – Me.

Preflop: (1.5 small bets, 9 players)

UTG raises, 3 other callers including SB who cold-calls. I find 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and complete.

Flop: (10 small bets, 5 players) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

I’m thinking of betting out when SB does it first! I look left to get a read, but cannot. I suspect there will be callers if I just call. So it’s raise or fold, so I just fold? Weak tight or just right?

All comments appreciated. Results to come.
