This is a really neat hand so I thought I would post it.

***** Hand History for Game 4060066068 *****
$100 NL Texas Hold'em - Saturday, April 22, 17:49:20 ET 2006
Table Sanderling (Real Money)
Seat 9 is the button
Total number of players : 10
Seat 3: dudad357 ( $104.77 )
Seat 5: King4484 ( $124.85 )
Seat 7: Stick619 ( $166.20 )
Seat 8: chrish03 ( $92.95 )
Seat 6: Renton555 ( $146.30 )
Seat 1: RichardCorey187 ( $103.05 )
Seat 10: TddyKGB21 ( $102.25 )
Seat 4: odieboy ( $79.04 )
Seat 9: Riaxyne ( $21.85 )
Seat 2: duvius ( $76.25 )
TddyKGB21 posts small blind [$0.50].
RichardCorey187 posts big blind [$1].
** Dealing down cards **
Dealt to Renton555 [ As Kh ]
duvius folds.
dudad357 folds.
odieboy folds.
King4484 raises [$3.50].
Renton555 folds.
Stick619 folds.
chrish03 calls [$3.50].
Riaxyne folds.
TddyKGB21 folds.
RichardCorey187 folds.
** Dealing Flop ** [ 9d, 5c, Ks ]
King4484 checks.
chrish03 bets [$5].
King4484 raises [$16].
chrish03 calls [$11].
** Dealing Turn ** [ 8c ]
King4484 bets [$20].
chrish03 calls [$20].
** Dealing River ** [ Jh ]
King4484 checks.
chrish03 checks.
King4484 shows [ Ah, Ac ] a pair of aces.
chrish03 doesn't show [ Ad, Kc ] a pair of kings.
King4484 wins $77.50 from the main pot with a pair of aces.

King4484 had a preflop raise percentage of 1%. This means he was really only raising AA and KK preflop. Everything else he'd just limp/call or coldcall.

If it weren't for my PokerAce HUD read on this player I would have probably lost a decent chunk of change. I would suggest to anyone starting out in ring games, get PokerTracker and a HUD program of some kind. They will pay for themselves immediately. The money I saved in this hand was about the cost of PokerTracker.

Tales of poker please.

Only joshing with you.
vnh. I love when someting you do gets justified like this.

Here's my example:

200NL, me and villan have $300 each.
I'm UTG with JJ, I raise to $10.
Folds around to Villian on Button, he reraises to $18.
Blinds fold back to hero.
Hero is All-in. Villan is All-in with A3s.

Happy days!

Nice post, instincts can sometimes make it too hard to fold AK preflop but sometimes its deffinatly justified. This concept also applies to calling raises with AQ. Would you agree that if villan has a 2-3% PFR folding AQ pf is justified?

Irisheyes, nh... what was villan stats and what was your read on him (what crazy hands and moves hand you seen him make?)

I was once playing with a complete titler going ai pf every 4 hands or so, a few ppl where taking shots with Ax and K6s+ hands... Im dealt AK in EP and limp hoping to get ai pf with tilter AND someone wanting to take a shot with a reasonable hand but likely less of a holding than mine... tilter raises AI, someone gunning for his stack calls, and the plan comes together, I call and am vs tilters random hand + the unsupectedly sandwhiched players K9s.

Experimenting - 200NL 5max.

turbo-muck. same with AK. seriously. not close.

edit: depending on the situation I'd consider playing an AK but I'd be really concerned with pot control, especially if I hit the K. And if there were more then 1 broadway out I'd be really scared. But honestly, against the range of big pair + AK or something like that, there's no reason to get involved.

Im thinking about getting pokertracker instead of pokeroffice cause as soon as i have more then 5K hands in a database it really starts to lag.
And its not because of my pc cause a friend of me bought a new pc and as soon as he starts to have many hands in his database it really starts to get alot slower.
