21 hours worth of poker this week, 15 in cash and 6 in MTTs.
Played 2MTTs this week, both were MicroMillions events, the $11 Sunday Storm Special and the $22 Main Event.
Busted the Sunday Storm around 1,000 places outside the money, that might sound a lot but people were dropping pretty quickly. Busted jamming AQs w/ 10bb, ran into TT, and TT held.
Busted Main pretty quickly, started off badly and didn't get any better really. Hand I busted was;
PokerStars - $20+$2|500/1000 Ante 125 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
MP: 61,265
MP+1: 47,610
CO: 35,809
BTN: 35,162
SB: 15,524
Hero (BB): 12,880
UTG: 49,399
UTG+1: 9,372
UTG+2: 30,136
9 players post ante of 125, SB posts SB 500, Hero posts BB 1,000
Pre Flop: (pot: 2,625) Hero has A J
fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, BTN raises to 2,250, SB raises to 15,399 and is all-in, Hero calls 11,755 and is all-in, fold
Flop: (28,885, 2 players) 9 9 6
Turn: (28,885, 2 players) Q
River: (28,885, 2 players) 7
SB shows A K (One Pair, Nines) (Pre 74%, Flop 80%, Turn 86%)
Hero shows A J (One Pair, Nines) (Pre 26%, Flop 20%, Turn 14%)
SB wins 28,885
Not sure whether it was a bad call or not, I think both villain's ranges are fairly wide here and I have just over 10bb w/ a decent but marginal hand in the BB.
As for cash, it's starting to pick up. I said last week that I felt like I was playing really well but the results were not there to show for it, but this week they have been. Really happy with how it's going, and I'm on course for a break even/slightly profitable first month at 50NL which I am very happy with.
I also wrote last week that I was going to look for a couple of 4bet spots, to further consolidate my pre-flop range work and 4bet range, apologies if some are pretty standard, but thought I would post a few up.
Hand #1
PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
MP: $57.28
CO: $54.45
BTN: $69.12
Hero (SB): $55.15
BB: $137.21
UTG: $104.68
Hero posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has Q Q
fold, MP raises to $1.50, fold, BTN raises to $4.50, Hero raises to $11.25, fold, fold, fold
Hero wins $11.00
MP was 15/15 over 40 hands.
BU was 28/25/16 over 170 hands.
My thinking was that even though BU is probably 3betting fairly wide here and we're ahead of most of his range, we have the worst position possible and I would rather have the initiative if we go to the flop. Plus, if we flat we invite MP to come along and now we're playing OOP against 2 players.
Hand #2
PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
SB: $51.20
BB: $89.09
Hero (UTG): $76.46
CO: $52.52
BTN: $115.78
SB posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has Q A
Hero raises to $1.50, fold, BTN raises to $5.50, fold, fold, Hero raises to $13.50, fold
Hero wins $11.75
Villain is 20/16/9 over 283 hands. All of villains 3bets come from BU/blinds.
Is AQo too strong to turn into a bluff?
Hand #3
PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
BB: $53.86
UTG: $19.64
MP: $50.00
Hero (CO): $50.00
BTN: $150.62
SB: $60.22
SB posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has T A
fold, fold, Hero raises to $1.50, fold, SB raises to $5.00, fold, Hero raises to $11.25, fold
Hero wins $10.50
Villain is 22/16/16 over 74 hands.
I don't think ATo is anywhere near strong enough to flat a 3bet here, seems too strong to fold CO vs SB, so 4betting seems a better option given he is probably 3betting fairly wide from the SB?
Hand #4
PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
UTG: $52.25
MP: $29.09
CO: $50.75
Hero (BTN): $65.40
SB: $50.00
BB: $55.40
SB posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has A T
fold, fold, fold, Hero raises to $1.25, fold, BB raises to $4.50, Hero raises to $9.75, fold
Hero wins $9.25
Villain is 28/25/6 over 147 hands.
Similar situation to hand #3. I also have a fairly tight image on this table so my 4bet should be perceived as insanely strong.
Hand #5
PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
BB: $36.80
UTG: $50.75
MP: $54.76
CO: $50.00
BTN: $71.50
Hero (SB): $52.09
Hero posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has A Q
fold, MP raises to $1.50, CO calls $1.50, BTN raises to $5.85, Hero raises to $12.50, fold, fold, fold, fold
Hero wins $15.20
MP is 28/21, FT3B 100%, 2/2 over 87 hands.
CO is 25/21, FT3B 100%, 2/2 over 24 hands.
BU is 26/17/7 over 314 hands.
I'm not so sure about this one, might be a little spewy. I think BU can be squeezing pretty wide, AQo is horrible to just flat w/ in the SB (?). I think a C4B looks pretty strong and takes down the pot the majority of the time here as well.
Hand #6
PokerStars - $0.50 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
BTN: $34.30
SB: $50.00
BB: $50.00
UTG: $50.00
MP: $65.65
Hero (CO): $72.32
SB posts SB $0.25, BB posts BB $0.50
Pre Flop: (pot: $0.75) Hero has 4 4
fold, fold, Hero raises to $1.50, BTN calls $1.50, SB raises to $6.00, fold, Hero raises to $72.32 and is all-in, fold, fold
Hero wins $14.00
BU is 36/22/5 over 55 hands.
SB is 30/22/7 over 494 hands and is looking like a serial squeezer, 4th squeeze in 28 opportunities. All 3bets come from blinds, 15% 3bet from SB in total.
Is this complete spew?
I have another assignment (final one of the year!!) due in on Thursday so I'm probably going to be spending from now until then getting it done. Then I pretty much have like 3 weeks off so will be looking to get in a huge amount of volume.
Goals
- Play 14+ hours of poker
- Play 1 MTT
- Complete Assignment
