Taking a shot at mid-stakes

[Leader]

Monday update:

Didn't play much. One quick session to get my feet wet. <font color="red">-2.5BB</font> Was down 15 then came back. Pretty uninteresting. Games were decent. Hard to get a rhythm though because the good games tended to break pretty quickly.

One hand:

Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
<font color="#cc0000">Hero raises</font>, 3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">SB 3-bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="#cc0000">Hero caps</font>, SB calls, BB calls.

Flop: T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (12SB, 3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#cc0000">SB raises</font>, BB folds, Hero calls.

Turn: 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (8BB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (10BB, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">SB bets</font>, Hero calls.

Results:
Final pot: 12BB
<font color="#ffffff">SB showed Qd Td</font>
<font color="#ffffff">Hero mucks Kd Ah</font>

I felt decent about this one. Villain is pretty LAGy from his stats. I've noticed that most bad players lead out into a cap in spots like this with pairs. Obviously it's not impossible that he c/r'ed with cheese or a PP, but it seems more likely then one might otherwise suspect for him to have a T. Plus win 1; lose 2. He also didn't pause before the river bet. You'd think if he had JJ or something he would at least miss a beat.

i think not raising the river sucks pretty bad.

Agree, we got lucky he had a T here because raising the river here is 100% the best long term play even though we need to call a 3bet every time.

i am not convenced that this is tru. i would def consider a fold, esp if i have any idea that he is not super trciky or bat [censored] insane. i think that this is a fold a lot of the time.

funny thing is that you could make nearly a full 1 BB mistake every time he 3-bets and it would still be correct to raise. People never seem to be able to fold PPs here.

oh and btw, leader i have much respect for your posting--gogogogogogo
