 ...Well not exactly busto, but you get the point.

Sup freshies. Im Miles.
This will be my first op here on FTR, and it will be live-based.

History/Life:

I am currently 21 years old and am going into my 4th and final year of undergrad studies at University of California Santa Cruz.
I am majoring in Environmental Science, with an emphasis on Environmental Policy/ GIS...so Im out to save the world and all that jazz.

I started playing online pokerz when I turned 18 as a senior in High School.
I started my roll by playing freerolls and ground my roll up playing .25c SNGs.
At this point I was reading random articles found online about preflop strategies etc.

When my roll reached ~ $100 I discovered FTR and began my cash game journey.

Since then I made my way from 2nl-100nl and then boom, black friday. so thats chill.

Since BF I've been playing a little on Merege, but mostly playing live at my semi-local cardroom.

I managed to get my roll off of stars so I have about mehh 5k to work with @ 1/2/2 (weird blind structure where I play)

ITT I will be posting some hands, keeping track of my progress and learning to play better live poker as I do so.

sooo yeah... day 1 starts in like 3 hours.

Lets Go!

 ok so heres a hand from my first session:

effective stacks ~150bbs

asian internet kid whos been raising a fair amount mid-late makes it 12, old weak tightish guy flats in the CO (hes folded to a min 3b earlier in the session ip), im on the button with A3cc and 3b to 41.

sb cold calls-- sb is a fish who 5b pre all in with TT vs one of the tightest guys at the table who showed AA, sb spiked a T on the turn to win the pot, hes got ~200bbs.

initial raiser and caller fold.

HU to the flop vs the fish.

*FLOP* KJJr
pot is ~115, ive got like 220 behind, sb has me covered.

sb checks, hero sizing?

 i mean yeah, i could fold pre, but the initial opener and flat caller are folding so often to a 3b that i think its pretty profitable in this spot.

as played, do you like checking back more than betting?

 I guess it comes down to what kind of range you put him on, and if he's capable, what he puts you on? From your example he's not a big thinker. I wouldn't be suprised if hes calling most PP and most broadways to a 3b (fish on a heater syndrome). I wouldn't be suprised if he peeled a street with a smaller PP or some piece of the flop if it didnt already hit him. Sooooo your hand is a strait bluff with little fold equity IMO. I think i'd check it back and go from there.
