Spider 6-max session

btspider · #1 10-11-2006, 10:23 PM

I'm playing some 6-max, going to post any interesting hands.. If you dislike topics with lots of hands, move on. If you comment on a hand, reference the hand # for easy following.

===== HAND 1 =====
Villian is pretty laggy after two orbits (65/20/1.5). I haven't seen any noteworthy showdowns to get a good read. First time I've played with this guy.

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 2 folds, SB calls, 1 fold.

Flop: (5 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

River: (5.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

I intended to raise almost all rivers, but the A makes a worse hand calling less likely. He could also have donked Ax with a paired x. I think a turn raise is viable as well.. but thought he'd fire the third barrel very often from what i've seen.

Villian is likely a TAG, tho I only have two orbits on him thus far.

I go for the screwplay. (off-tempo turn check-raise)

===== Hand 3 =====
Villian is a TAG (diff than the previous hand's TAG). Very tight player so far.

Hand 2 I like the screwplay.

Hand 3 I think you're getting raised often enough that I want to bet/trey it.

Gib · #6 10-11-2006, 10:35 PM

Hand 2.

Yep like it. Villain would have to of hit something here, my only concern is if TAG smells "monster hand" screwplay & will b/f.

Hand 3.

I wouldn't screwplay, we may loose value here, I feel alot of the time villain may be drawing on this flop or has caught a pair & will very often check the turn through. Or we miss our opportunity to bet/3bet if villain is holding a 9.

Sometimes, yeah.

If this guy is aggressive I think bet/3-betting is better or bet/calling the turn and checkraising the river some of the time.

The more aggressive he is the less I like checkraising the turn actually; bet/3-bet or bet/call, checkraise river.

Sometime I'm a fancy boy though.

BTW, its tough to work on non-stat reads and post all these. I can elaborate on my thoughts if need-be, but most of the actions speak for themselves if I don't provide thoughts..

===== Hand 4 =====
Villian is fairly loose and non-aggro PF, but has been a bit aggressive postflop after about three orbits... he's at about (40/4/2.3).

Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, SB calls, 1 fold, UTG calls.

Flop: (7 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets, SB raises, UTG folds, Hero calls.

I figure he could c/r pairs, so I figure I should at least call. He could fire again on the turn, but I'm not sure about the river.. Before looking further.. what should my plan be:
1. call to riv fold riv if he fires again?
2. calldown?
3. fold to the flop c/r?
4. fold turn if UI and he fires?

Turn: (5.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero calls.

River: (7.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets, Hero raises...

Thoughts on flop and river?

cold_cash · #9 10-11-2006, 10:41 PM

Hand 3 I just keep betting.

If he called your flop bet he either has a hand he likes or just made one. He also might have a KJ or KT that will call a bet but not bet himself. wtf is he open limping?

Can you teach me how to flop sometime?

this is hand 2 i presume.

i don't have reliable aggression numbers yet. would JJ/TT peel that flop? would 99 call the turn? i guess the biggest concern is that he can check behind AJ or something right?
