getting my donkey feet wet@party 10/20

[Allinlife]

just getting my feet wet on party 10/20. i think it's all about game selection. you can find some rambo LAGs that simply play too many hands imo, though I'm not sure I found the optimal approach to playing these ultra aggro tricky guys yet.

Hand 1
game is 6 handed. It's my 2nd or 3rd orbit, and I haven't been involved much. CO is 30/11 over 100 hands, BB is 70/25 over 300 hands.

I feel that I really donked this one...biggest problem with turn is I am bluffing with the best hand or get owned by Qx...it's 10 handed so I should give him more respect

thanks for taking the time to read...any comments appreciated.

happy new year!

i definately dont get your reasoning for calling in hand one. im mucking AA there within 2 seconds and thinkin about mucking trips.

hand 2: this is a great time for a check call check call check. its the best way to maximize value. leading the flop is bad because the pot gets bigger.

In hand 1, he's thinking villain plays 75% of pots and raises 25% of the time.

That is quite a move villain's pulled -- checking, then putting in the 2nd raise. Against a reasonable villain that's a good time for hero to fold.

Can't really say I like either. 4 way raised pot in the first hand, easy for someone to have a 6. As for the 2nd hand, bruiser had a gem a while back "no read no bluff".
