Default Bad session with a maniac at 25nl.

$0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 5 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

This has got to be my worst session ever. Villan each time is an 81/35/1(122) who seems to bet rive regardless of hand (river agg = 6.5).

Had to take a little work to cool off.

I'm very much a rookie but since I've been 2p2ing I've been winning at about 8BB/100 (over about 4000 hands).

Hero (SB): $23.32
BB: $21.64
UTG: $39.28
CO: $7.66
BTN: $34.14

Preflop: Hero is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 Players)
<font color="red">UTG raises to $0.50</font>, 2 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.00</font>, BB folds, UTG calls $1.50

Flop: ($4.25) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">Hero bets $3.00</font>, UTG calls $3.00

Turn: ($10.25) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, UTG checks

River: ($10.25) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $4.75</font>, Hero calls $4.75

Pot Size: $19.75 ($0.98 Rake)

UTG had 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (a flush, Ace high) and WON (+$9.02)
Hero had J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (a pair of Aces) and LOST (-$9.75)

... Was kicking myself about the weak turn play but I'm pretty sure my fold equity with this chump was somewhere close to zero. Bad play I know...

... Was weary of that hand coming into the next... hence overbetting the first two streets.

SB: $32.53
BB: $27.13
UTG: $31.95
MP: $6.45
CO: $66.90
Hero (BTN): $23.75

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 Players)
3 folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $1.00</font>, SB folds, BB calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.10) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $2.00</font>, BB calls $2.00

Turn: ($6.10) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $5.80</font>, BB calls $5.80

River: ($17.70) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Pot Size: $17.70 ($0.88 Rake)

BB had 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a flush, Queen high) and WON (+$8.02)
Hero had K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a pair of Tens) and LOST (-$8.80)

Checked flop to felt bet size from button who seems reasonable. Was prepared to shove over CO as he was betting with anything. In hindsight, this was a pretty stupid move but flop action couldn't really have worked much better for me.

SB: $68.25
Hero (BB): $37.43
UTG: $18.14
CO: $33.40
BTN: $3.90

Preflop: Hero is dealt Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (5 Players)
<font color="red">UTG raises to $0.50</font>, CO folds, BTN calls $0.50, SB folds, <font color="red">Hero raises to $2.50</font>, UTG calls $2.00, BTN folds

Flop: ($5.60) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">UTG bets $5.32</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises all-in to $34.93</font>, UTG calls all-in for $10.32
Uncalled bet of $19.29 returned to Hero

Turn: ($36.88) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players - 2 All-In)

River: ($36.88) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players - 2 All-In)

Pot Size: $36.88 ($1.84 Rake)

UTG had 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (a flush, Ace high) and WON (+$16.90)
Hero had Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (three of a kind, Queens) and LOST (-$18.14)

Considering villan's range and AF stats I figured I was well ahead of his range and was happy to play for a small pot with what was an overpair on a paired board (prior to the river).

Looking back, it seems I was being priced in...

SB: $33.29
Hero (BB): $24.50
UTG: $27.23
CO: $39.81
BTN: $24.45

Preflop: Hero is dealt 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (5 Players)
UTG folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $0.85</font>, BTN folds, SB calls $0.75, Hero calls $0.60

Flop: ($2.55) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 Players)
SB checks, <font color="red">Hero bets $2.00</font>, CO calls $2.00, SB folds

Turn: ($6.55) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $2.25</font>, Hero calls $2.25

River: ($11.05) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, <font color="red">CO bets $4.00</font>, Hero calls $4.00

Pot Size: $19.05 ($0.95 Rake)

CO had A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (two pairs, Aces and Threes) and WON (+$9.00)
Hero had 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (two pairs, Eights and Threes) and LOST (-$9.10)

I need a stiff drink... and maybe some coaching.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Now he has to move up to the next level to chase his losses. Luckily, he'll be able to scrounge up some big blinds for that shot by looking under his couch cushions.

Betting just under the pot does not constitue an overbet...

Plz to scrolling down and posting this in the UNL BBV thread to avoid further ridicule for playing Happy Meal stakes.

Is it still poker when you play with cents instead of dollars?
