3 Blind Mice

[thegreatchris]

$100 live tourney, nearly 200 runners, players begin w/ 5k in chips. Please don't assume the chip stacks from one hand are affected by previous hand results.

Hand 1:
Limped and blinded down to 4200 after some flop misses. Blinds 100/200. UTG and EP2 limp, which is common at this table, fairly nitty old man raises to 800 with about 5k behind. Terrible female player on the button moves in for ~3000. Hero in SB looks down at AKo, Hero mucks.

Hand 2:
16 players remain, paying 15. Hero has just been moved from the other table due to balancing beginning with this hand and is third or fourth in chips with ~200k. Blinds are 5k/10k. 6 folds, chip leader with over 400k in SB completes. Hero sees AJo and raises to 30k. SB calls.

Flop is A96 rainbow, SB checks and Hero checks behind.

Turn is 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] putting two clubs on the board. SB bets 30k, Hero calls.

River is A, non-club. SB thinks for nearly a minute and then checks, Hero checks.

Hand 3:
Final table, 8 players remain with a steep payout structure raising mainly from 4th up. Hero has 240k which is about average for the table, blinds are 10k/20k. (Yes, the structure is bad.) Hero has not played a hand with SB previously. 6 folds, SB completes. Hero has K8o in BB, considers raising and checks.

Flop is KQ9 rainbow. SB checks, Hero bets 40k and SB calls after a few seconds.

Turn is an offsuit 2. SB checks, Hero bets 40k and SB calls.

River is a 7. SB bets 20k, Hero hesitantly calls.


I'm not particularly happy with any of these, thoughts?
