KoRnholio will become famous soon enough

A few hands from tonight, for some reason I was feeling really off my game and I'm sure I was after a few of these hands. My overall session wasn't too bad (aided in large part by this first hand here), but left much to be desired.

Hand 1
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A

, A

.
Hero raises, 3 folds, CO 3-bets, 3 folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) A

, 6

, Q

(2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets, Hero raises, CO 3-bets, Hero caps, CO calls.

Turn: (7.75 BB) 7

(2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero 3-bets, CO caps, Hero calls.

River: (15.75 BB) T

(2 players)
Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 19.75 BB

Results in white below:
Hero has Ad Ac (three of a kind, aces).
CO has Qs Qc (three of a kind, queens).
Outcome: Hero wins 19.75 BB.

Hand 2
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with K

, A

.
UTG calls, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls, 1 fold, Hero raises, 5 folds, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 2

, 9

, T

(3 players)
UTG bets, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) K

(3 players)
UTG bets, UTG+2 raises, Hero folds, UTG calls.

River: (9.25 BB) 6

(2 players)
UTG checks, UTG+2 bets, UTG folds.

Final Pot: 10.25 BB

Results in white below:
UTG+2 doesn't show.
Outcome: UTG+2 wins 10.25 BB.

This hand I just had some uneasy gut feeling that UTG+2 had either QJ ot KT. He was playing quite loose in early and middle position, but I still didn't feel comfortable with my read after I folded. I just didn't want to put in 2-3 more bets to see if I was right.

Hand 3
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with 3

, 3

.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds, MP2 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.

Flop: (6 SB) 4

, 3

, 4

(6 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, CO checks, Button checks.

Turn: (3 BB) 7

(6 players)
SB checks, Hero bets, UTG+1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds.

Final Pot: 4 BB

Results in white below:
No showdown. Hero wins 4 BB.

Very weak pot, but I figured at least one of them would have a big diamond to draw to..

Hand 4
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with Q

, K

.
4 folds, Hero raises, 3 folds, BB calls.

Flop: (4.50 SB) 5

, 5

, 2

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB calls.

Turn: (3.25 BB) T

(2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

River: (7.25 BB) 7

(2 players)
BB bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 8.25 BB

Results in white below:
BB doesn't show.
Outcome: BB wins 8.25 BB.

This hand in particular really bugs me. I pretty much took the worst line possible and I don't know why.

Hand 5
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is SB with T

, 5

.
5 folds, Button raises, Hero 3-bets, BB caps, Button folds, Hero calls.

Flop: (10 SB) T

, 6

, Q

(2 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (7 BB) K

(2 players)
Hero checks, BB checks.

River: (7 BB) 2

(2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 8 BB

Results in white below:
BB doesn't show.
Outcome: BB wins 8 BB.

This hand also bugs me. I was just playing back against the uber aggressive Button, then ended up in a very bad spot. When he checked the turn I really had no idea where I was at, but I opted to fold. Looking at it now I think he likely had a middle pair that I was ahead of, or maybe JJ.

Hand 6
PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (8 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with K

, Q

.
2 folds, Hero calls, 2 folds, Button raises, 1 fold, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (6.50 SB) A

, 4

, K

(3 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, Button folds, BB raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.25 BB) 9

(2 players)
BB bets, Hero raises, BB 3-bets, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 10.25 BB

Results in white below:
No showdown. BB wins 10.25 BB.

Biggest donk play ever by me.. Reraise a guy who just check raised you, smart. I quit my session shortly after this.

It was almost like I forgot how to play the game, I was being weak at the wrong times, and being aggressive at even worse times. meh.

first hand, cap preflop for value
he's obviously not folding PF and he's not going to be afraid of that ace and he'll put you on AK on the flop

hand 2 fold the flop
if you're not going to continue if you HIT your hand, why continue at all?

hand 3 lead the flop
one guy will stay in
if not, you won't make ANY money from this pot on the turn

hand 4 fold the turn he has something

hand 5 fold preflop you're behind two random cards, pick a good spot to play back

hand 6 bet the flop, fold to a raise he has an ace and even though it may be weak he's NOT folding unless these people would bet a flush draw which wouldn't happen at my limits

Hand 1: No one is playing a draw like this, you can savely threebet the river here.

Hand 2: I think you need to call this one down or threebet the turn.

Hand 3: BET Bet bet... I know slowplaying is tempting here but you need to bet and hopefully get raised by an overpair or an agressive draw or the 4.

Hand 4: Fold to the turn checkraise.

Hand 5: You can't fight back with T5 unless you just wanted to fight with any two here. So fold preflop and wait until you have a hand. As it played out you cannot bet this flop when BB has just capped. check/call and fold turn UI.

Hand 6: I myself have been struggling not to do these fancy "moves". You need some reason to think that you can make him fold here. And as you wrote yourself not many checkraising hands are folding here.

hand1, about half the time I will raise/call preflop with aces just so I don't get pinned on having them. In a multiway pot I will cap every time, but heads up the deception is often worth far more than that extra half a bet. I know I pussied out on the river, normally I would 3bet that without hesitation.

hand2, I got exactly the card I wanted (less chance of someone hitting Ax for 2 pair), but I wasn't expecting to have it be 2 bets to me.

hand3, leading out might have been better, but that's hindsight. I'd rather someone hit a flush or 4 to a flush so I checked it.

hand 4, was me being stupid.

hand 5, I was just reraising with any 2 against the button who had raised my blind the last 4 times he had the chance. Wasn't planning on the BB capping.

hand 6, I figured I could bluff the flush, as I had done the raise for a free card on the turn a couple times at that table already. I guess my opponent was either holding a monster, pinned me on a bluff, or just wasn't paying attention :P

Some days it feels like I've been standing forever, waiting for the bank teller to return so I can cash in all these Sklansky Bucks.
