    Lighting sweet moneys on fire.

    Default Post a hand, your moderator will play.

    For my 2000th post here I decided to start a thread where you can post a hand and I will respond with the action I would take.

    Rules:
    - Only post converted HH's, 3-6 handed, 50nl+, 90BB deep minimum
    - One postflop decision point only, marked by "hero?".
    - Optionally include stats on players involved. Villains can be categorized as tag/lag/fish/whale. Optionally add one or two of the following attributes: tight/loose/winning/losing/regular/unknown/idiot/clever/aggro/passive/crazy/maniac. No other reads or info allowed.
    - Unless you post stats for Hero I will play the hand assuming I am Hero.
    - No discussion allowed in this thread. Start another thread if necessary.

    Any post that does not include a hand history and which does not conform to the rules set above will be edited or deleted without notice.

    You don't have to have played the posted hand yourself, just post whatever hand. You can post the same hand more than once if you put the decision point in a different place or change it in some other way.

    GO!

    Edit: I will ship $25 on pokerstars to the member posting the most interesting hand in this thread before christmas eve this year. For a hand to be eligible it has to be properly converted so that readers can't tell if it is real or imaginary.

    Currently best: post #17 by bikes.

    I would be surprised to see a raise from you before the turn on this board. Under no circumstances would I ever fold a pair to this small raise, but what I would do on later streets would greatly depend on not only runout, but also what you say on skype, your current run/mood and session history.

    Since you know that I'm a 3bet monkey and a calling station, I would have to consider the possibility that you are correctly valueowning yourself here with pocket queens.

    I'll experiment and see if adding some incentive gets the action going.

    M2M probably gets $25 from rakeback during the time it takes for you to read this thread, so I hope someone else can do better.

    LOL okay this hand can be fun...
    Villain is a top and well known HU player.
    He views me probably as scared money as it was probably pretty clear to him that I did not want to play for stacks >200bb deep without a relatively strong hand (better than 1 pr--therefore I expected to get 3 barreled a decent amount if I just flat this board). He hadn't been 3betting particularly light at this point given stack depth, but he's certainly very capable of running a huge no equity bluff.

    "- Only post converted HH's, 3-6 handed, 50nl+, 90BB deep minimum"

    Too many variables in hu, also too much about gameflow. I wouldn't be surprised if you raised the flop, called a c/r on the turn and called a jam on the river.

    I thought it'd be fun cuz villain was actually Sauce. I did raise flop though, he called, turn was a brick and he chkd to me.

    Take him to valuetown imo.

    Posting hands like this one in the HU forum could bring some life to that place...

    villain is 29/18/3 (VPIP/PFR/3b) over 90.
    100% fold to 3b (4), 32% ATS (22), 14% fold to CB (1/7), and has check/raised 2/3 flops.

    hero has 3b this guys open in position at least once over the 90 hands, and probably appears slightly loose/aggro over this sample. perhaps 28/23ish.

    90 hands isn't enough of a sample to play back here imo. Instead I just wouldn't cbet against these numbers. Give me a gutter with my runner and I'd play.
