Default Re: Hands From Round 2

i'll tell you what i had in whichever ones of those you are particularly interested in.

ont ath i really thought you played well was the one you had 67 and shoved the river, i had J8 there, and put you on that kind of range, but obviously wanted you to call, really well played.

i played really poorly in this match, bluffed at all the wrong time, made bad calls and bad laydowns.

the 86 hand is questionable. although i know you're capable of being tricky, i really really really really think your range is 78/boat there. I think with an overpair that's a check call, becuyase of my spewiness.. why is it a check call with an overpair and a CRAI with a boat? becuase with a boat there are more scare cards to screw up your action (like, if i have a straight and the board further pairs, flush card, etc), whereas if you've got an overpair, scare cards could actually highly increase my bluffing frequency (which, [censored], i do too much)

but whatever, i was 6 tabling like an idiot and didn't think about it. either way, the bottom like is that my read was that you were very tight/nitty at the time, and i just didn't need to play that big of a pot.

[censored] i played awful, but you had alot of what i thought you had in a lot of those hands, and i dodged some mines

also, running kind of poorly-ish in medium pots is as bad as running bad in big pots sometimes becuase it kills your confidence.

I was thinking more along the lines of semi-bluffs and 7x. I agree that overpairs really aren't in my range.

what i'm saying is that you definitely hadn't shown me you could semi-bluff there on a paired board, so i don't create metagame that doesn't exist

Fair enough.

The only ones I'm pretty curious about are the QJo river check raise, and the K8s river overbet.

the K8s overbet i had complete air, was pissed, and said "[censored], no way he played a hand this slow on this board and he'll read an overbet as the nuts"

the QJ hand i turned a boat with 47 i think

I guess the AQd 6 bet PF, too, but I think you had air.

Nice match.
Thanks for the report guys.

As i was reading the K8s one it felt pretty obvious his range had a lot of air, because he's short, you'll rarely have anything to call him, he's good enough to see this.

Here you had pretty much the top of your range, looks like it deserved a call.

Of course easier afterward though.
