pocketfours will become famous soon enough

These hands are from the LAG experiment I wrote about in the high stakes forum.

I usually play 5/10 and 10/20 with stats like 25/18, but I thought I would try to play really loose at 400NL and see how it goes. Here my stats are 34/27/2.4, reraising preflop very frequently with a wide range. My image is very loose/bad, but I haven't been caught making any very big bluffs. These are all at different tables.

What every hand has in common is that I'm calling a bet or a raise on the flop, but then villain gives up on the turn and I shove the river OOP.

Hand 1. Villain is very solid multitabling 24/18/2.2. I put him on an unimproved PP. I think I can rep the flush here pretty well.

Seat 3: UTG ($150.65 in chips)
Seat 7: CUTOFF ($2,489.80 in chips)
Seat 8: BUTTON ($403.40 in chips)
Seat 9: SB ($402.00 in chips)
Seat 10: HERO [ KH,AS ] ($442.00 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($2), HERO posts blind ($4).

PRE-FLOP
UTG bets $10, CUTOFF calls $10, BUTTON folds, SB folds, HERO bets $55, UTG folds, CUTOFF calls $49.

FLOP [board cards 10S,6D,5S ] (POT $169)
HERO checks, CUTOFF bets $85, HERO calls $85.

TURN [board cards 10S,6D,5S,9C ] (POT $339)
HERO checks, CUTOFF checks.

RIVER [board cards 10S,6D,5S,9C,6S ] (POT $339)
HERO bets $298 and is all-in...

Hand 2: Villain is 34/23/3 and this is the fift time he has reraised my PFR within 7 hands (perhaps tilting). I folded every time. Here I didn't feel like 4-bet bluffing was the right way to go because that would be too obvious. I guess tightening up would have been the correct response, but since this was a LAG experiment I didn't feel like doing that. Normally I would of course NEVER call a reraise OOP with A3s, but here I decided to take the pot or get stacked no matter how the board came down. My hand could of course be good too. By calling pre I'm kindof turning my hand into a bluff already before the flop and representing a medium PP.

Seat 2: BB ($916.90 in chips)
Seat 3: UTG ($287.00 in chips)
Seat 4: CUTOFF ($287.75 in chips)
Seat 5: BUTTON ($394.00 in chips)
Seat 7: HERO [ AS,3S ] ($436.30 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
HERO posts blind ($2), BB posts blind ($4).

PRE-FLOP
UTG folds, CUTOFF folds, BUTTON folds, HERO bets $12, BB bets $50, HERO calls $40.

FLOP [board cards 9C,7D,4H ] (POT $150)
HERO checks, BB bets $75, HERO calls $75.

TURN [board cards 9C,7D,4H,7C ] (POT $300)
HERO checks, BB checks.

RIVER [board cards 9C,7D,4H,7C,7H ] (POT $300)
HERO bets $307.30 and is all-in...

Hand 3: Villain is 15/12/2 unknown ABC TAG. I think villain has a jack or an unimproved PP quite often. I don't see him checking behind QQ on the turn and I don't think he would call pre with AJ (although that's the only hand I'm really afraid of here).

Seat 1: UTG ($534.00 in chips)
Seat 3: CUTOFF ($327.40 in chips)
Seat 4: BUTTON ($394.00 in chips)
Seat 9: SB ($480.00 in chips)
Seat 10: HERO [ 10C,10D ] ($497.90 in chips)
ANTES/BLINDS
SB posts blind ($2), HERO posts blind ($4).

PRE-FLOP
UTG bets $15, CUTOFF calls $15, BUTTON folds, SB calls $13, HERO bets $75, UTG calls $64, CUTOFF folds, SB folds.

FLOP [board cards 4H,3C,JD ]
HERO bets $75, UTG bets $150, HERO calls $75.

TURN [board cards 4H,3C,JD,2H ]
HERO checks, UTG checks.

RIVER [board cards 4H,3C,JD,2H,AC ]
HERO bets $268.90 and is all-in...
