Had a reasonable session, didnt make any real profit. Mike4066 wound up at two of my tables. See what I mean about more good players in the micro limits? I'll post the results when I get home from work, in the afternoon. On with it....


Hand #1

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is Button with 9, A.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 5 folds, stevedonel raises, SB calls, 1 fold, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (9 SB) 2, Q, 7 (4 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, stevedonel raises, SB folds, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Turn: (7.50 BB) 3 (3 players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 bets, stevedonel calls, UTG raises, UTG+1 folds, stevedonel 3-bets, UTG calls.

River: (14.50 BB) 6 (2 players)
UTG bets, stevedonel raises, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 18.50 BB

I know I should have raised the turn, but UTG had been playing very fishy and I wanted him to do something stupid. Fortunately, it gave me the opportunity to put in my favorite play, the call-raise

************************************************** ***********

Hand #2

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is Button with K, K.
UTG calls, 1 fold, MP1 calls, MP2 raises, 1 fold, CO calls, stevedonel 3-bets, 2 folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 caps, CO calls, stevedonel calls.

Flop: (15.50 SB) 8, T, 5 (3 players)
MP2 bets, CO folds, stevedonel raises, MP2 3-bets, stevedonel caps, MP2 calls.

Turn: (11.75 BB) T (2 players)
MP2 bets, stevedonel raises, MP2 3-bets, stevedonel calls.

River: (17.75 BB) A (2 players)
MP2 bets, stevedonel calls.

Final Pot: 19.75 BB


To weak on the turn? River?

************************************************** ***********

Hand #3

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is MP1 with K, K.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, stevedonel raises, 4 folds, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

Flop: (8.50 SB) A, 9, T (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 folds, stevedonel bets, BB folds, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 2 (2 players)
UTG checks, stevedonel checks.

River: (5.25 BB) Q (2 players)
UTG bets, stevedonel calls.

Final Pot: 7.25 BB


Call that down? Normally I wouldnt, I think I was just being stubborn, because KK went 1-3 today.

************************************************** ***********

Hand #4

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is BB with 9, Q.
2 folds, MP1 calls, 5 folds, stevedonel checks.

Flop: (2.50 SB) K, T, 8 (2 players)
stevedonel checks, MP1 bets, stevedonel calls.

Turn: (2.25 BB) 8 (2 players)
stevedonel checks, MP1 bets, stevedonel raises, MP1 3-bets, stevedonel calls.

River: (8.25 BB) J (2 players)
stevedonel checks, MP1 bets, stevedonel raises, MP1 3-bets, stevedonel calls.

Final Pot: 14.25 BB


As a rule, I never play inside straight draws without huge odds and/or multiple opponents, I just felt like mixing it up. Once I had the ISFD, I decided to have some fun.


************************************************** ***********

Hand #5

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is UTG+1 with J, J.
1 fold, stevedonel raises, 5 folds, BB calls.

BB bets, stevedonel raises, BB calls.

Turn: (4.25 BB) A (2 players)
BB bets, stevedonel calls.

River: (6.25 BB) Q (2 players)
BB bets, stevedonel raises, BB calls.

Final Pot: 10.25 BB


Shame on me for the sucky sucky

************************************************** ***********

Hand #6

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is MP3 with Q, Q.

UTG checks, stevedonel checks.

River: (5.25 BB) 3 (2 players)
UTG checks, stevedonel bets, UTG calls.

Final Pot: 7.25 BB


To weak? Fold for his check-raise? I normally like to see the turn; it's cheap and your opponent never sees a two outer coming. I would have folded to a turn bet.

************************************************** ***********

Hand #7

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is BB with A, 5.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, 3 folds, SB completes, stevedonel checks.

stevedonel bets, UTG+1 calls.

River: (5 BB) 2 (2 players)

Final Pot: 9 BB


I really feel I overplayed this one and made a fishy call at the river

************************************************** ***********

Hand #8

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (6 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is MP with A, 3. UTG posts a blind of $0.5.
stevedonel calls, CO calls, 1 fold, SB completes, UTG (poster) checks.

Flop: (4 SB) Q, 9, 4 (5 players)
SB checks, UTG checks, stevedonel bets, CO calls, SB calls, UTG folds.

SB checks, stevedonel checks, CO checks.

River: (3.50 BB) 2 (4 players)
SB bets, stevedonel raises, CO folds, SB calls.

Final Pot: 7.50 BB

I hate betting that turn, it seems so obvious that I have the flush. And I normally get the same number of bets out of them on the river anyway.

************************************************** ***********

Hand #9

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: stevedonel is MP3 with K, K.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 calls, 1 fold, MP2 raises, stevedonel 3-bets, 3 folds, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP2 caps, stevedonel calls, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.

River: (17.75 BB) T (3 players)

Final Pot: 20.75 BB


I hate calling that one down, but again my KK went 1-3, so I was being stubborn

************************************************** ***********

Hand #10

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 raises, 1 fold, stevedonel 3-bets, 2 folds, UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls.

Flop: (10.50 SB) 3, 8, 4 (2 players)
MP3 checks, stevedonel bets, MP3 calls.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 4 (2 players)
MP3 checks, stevedonel bets, MP3 calls.

River: (8.25 BB) A (2 players)
MP3 checks, stevedonel bets, MP3 calls.

Final Pot: 10.25 BB


More sucky sucky, some people need to learn where the bet/raise button is.

************************************************** ***********

To weak? I know he would call with hands lesser than my set, but he was pretty fishy and only needed Q for a straight. Heads up, I figured it wasnt worth the extra bet.

Hand 1: Well played, turn was too cute for me, but it worked.
Hand 2: Well played
Hand 3: Hmmm... I don't think there is a good way to play this.
Hand 4: Looks g00t to me.
Hand 5: *chuckle*, looks g00t to me. Next time remember to spike a Jack on the river instead, you'll get more action that way...
Hand 6: Bet the turn, I doubt he goes for the rope-a-dope at those stakes.
Hand 7: I often wonder about river calls like that, but yeah hard to to pay the man...
Hand 8: Cute, but heck it's a small pot. I don't like the pre-flop play though as I prefer to raise or fold in that spot, but I'm just a big bully.
Hand 9: I cap that flop before I think about backing down.
Hand 10: Looks g00t to me
Hand 11: Yeah, that river sucked.

I think the turn is fine in #1. You've already reraised the flop so you've either got a flush draw or a strong hand, and since your flush draw hit to reraise, you might as well flop those 2 cards over if your opponents are decent - to call looks more like you'd got a decent hand, maybe twopair, maybe toppair top kicker or something and you're worried about the flush.

#2 depends what type of player the guy is. He's acting like a maniac so he could have AA.....maybe AK internet dudes tend to go nuts with AK.. if he's not a maniac. Depends on the guy if you should raise the turn/river.

Played #3 fine imo..

Play on #4 is bad, if you're fishing for the gutshot why aren't you reraising the flop? I don't understand, every other draw you've raised on the flop yet on the least likely draw you wanted to pay more!

#6 pretty sure the guy has A-rag c, maybe has a6 a8 a3c, somthing to call the river bet with. Am i right?

#7 a-x is a lot of trouble even if it's free to play.

Whenever you get in the mindset of 'calling someone down', it's almost certain you're tilting.

Either he way opens up at .5/1 or was catching some cards.

Mike tends to be rock tight, raises the good stuff pre-flop but doesn't climb very far up the tree to reap +EV fruit.

Well lucky for me there is plenty of fruit on the lower branches, but it just doesnt' seem as sweet as the higher ones.

I'll find my way up the branches, and as for "Rock Tight" well....... i'm not going to argue that.
