[snorer]

okay, just because i feel kind of bad about the phenom thread... i've decided to do what i never thought i would and post a real hand history. this is about the most interesting 1 out of 30 or so matches i played in the last 24 hours. villian, aside from having poor stats on sharkscope, actually played pretty well and had given me some challenges. not amazing stuff but you might find some hands that touch on interesting situations. this will be the only hand history of mine i'll ever post. hope you enjoy

Thanks for the HH, maybe you're not such a bad guy after all...

Villain seemed to have no chance in this match regardless of cards, he didn't play back at you ever, he just let you run over him. I understand him starting off slow when the stack sizes are relatively equal and he's not hitting cards, but he just really never made a decent move.

The JT hand was interesting, was that a tough call for you? I'd imagine you were worried about a K maybe, but I have a hard time putting him on a hand that beats you there. It really looks like a frustration play from villain.

The 56o hand was a pretty [censored] hand to pick with these stack sizes.. why the hell did he not do something like this a lot sooner?

Can you elaborate on your preflop raise size from the button? I don't see many people change up 2x-4x like that, at any levels.

And you didn't have any previous history with this guy, right? You just knew he was a decent loser on SS.

[snorer]

i did have some previous history with him. i think we played 2 matches before it, going 1-1. in this 1 i focused a little more. i remembered his name too, so i think i played him some time ago... but no relevant memories

the jt hand wasn't super difficult... but i like to go a little easier with calls like that nowadays, because there was a time when i made them regularly, eventually getting carried away with them and started leaking a lot calling in the wrong spots. i don't recall my exact thoughts in the hand now, but i don't think he would be willing to value bet thin there with much... but more or less it just felt like he wanted a fold from something like ace high.

it would be too difficult and time consuming for me to really explain my pf raising style... but in a nutshell i make those decisions more so to set momentum in the match and manipulate thinking rather than basing them on my actual hand.
