A few hands from a live 10/20 game

[Proofrock]

$10/20 half-kill game at Northern Quest casino in Spokane, WA. It seems like this is the biggest live casino game within 100 miles (if not, somebody PM me please) and it only runs a few times a week. Half of the table are regulars who are typically a little too loose and passive preflop, play pretty transparently postflop and don't value bet often enough on the river.

I am not a regular, and I'd say I have a TAG table image -- so far I haven't cold-called, but have 3-bet a few times preflop and capped a few flops without the nuts, so several of these players seem to think I'm too aggressive.

Anyway, onto the hands.

Hand 1:
LP and SB are friends who routinely flip over their cards and check it down heads-up postflop. Neither is particularly tight or loose, aggressive or passive.

LP regular raises, SB regular calls, I 3bet K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB, LP calls, SB says "Man, you always 3-bet. I 4-bet you." I call, LP calls.

Flop (12 SB): 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
SB bets, I raise, LP calls, SB says "I 3bet you," I cap, LP calls, SB calls.

Turn (12 BB): 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks, I bet, LP calls, SB calls.

River (15 BB): 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks, I bet and plan to call one raise because the pot is big ...

-------------------------------------------
Hand 2:
Same LP Villain from hand 1. It's a kill pot with the kill posted by a weak SB who doesn't defend.

I raise A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG, folds to LP who cold-calls, everybody else folds.

Flop (5.6 SB): T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
I bet, LP raises, I call figuring he'll check behind on the turn if he's raising for a free card. I didn't feel good about calling, but didn't feel good about folding or 3-betting either.

Turn (~4.5 BB): Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
I check, LP bets, I raise, LP thinks thinks for a bit and then calls.

River (8.5BB): J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
I check and call.
