75/150 I limp UTG with Ac Qc. Folds to the SB, who completes, and BB checks.
Flop Js Td 9s. Checks to me, I bet 300, SB calls. I think he can have any pair and even a few draws that I’m beating.
Turn 2d. He checks, I bet 900 expecting him to fold anything worse than a pair of Jacks that doesn’t also have a draw.
River 6h. He checks, I bet 1400 expecting him to fold most of his one pair hands. He calls with J9, which is fine.
75/150, I have been very tight but choose to raise to 450 with Jc9c in MP. Jon calls on my left, bad player calls on the CO, spazzy guy calls on the Button, blinds fold.
Flop Js Td 8s. Checks around to button, who bets 600. I call, the others fold.
Turn 6c, we both check.
River Qc, I check and instantly regret it. He’s probably never value betting worse and doesn’t need to bluff all that often. However, he probably calls a bet with lots of stuff, including any two pair and probably any Jack or better if I don’t bet too big.
75/150, I raise Qc 8d to 400 in MP3, Jon calls in the CO, everyone else folds.
Flop Kd Jd 5h. I bet 700, he calls.
Turn 9d, I bet 1700, he tells me he’d call if he had the Qd and folds what was probably QJ.
200/400, spazz open limps in MP, tightish player limps the Button, folds around to me, I check 76o on my BB.
Flop AA9 with no draws. I bet 800 and take it down.
200/400/50, I’ve been kind of active this orbit and raise to 1100 in MP with TT. Amnon calls in the CO, everyone else folds.
Flop Qd 2d 2h, I bet 1700, he calls.
Turn 2c. I bet 3600, he calls.
River 6h. We both check, and my hand is good.
200/400/50, tight-bad Asian kid raises to 1050 in MP, I call 33 on my Button, and the BB calls.
Flop Kd 9h 4h. Checks to me, I bet 800, Asian kid calls.
Turn Th. He checks, I look at his stack. He has around 9000. I think my hand is rarely good but he never has a flush. I bet 2000, he folds.
300/600/75, Dennis Phillips raises to 1650 UTG+1. I’m in MP1 with KcKd and about 24K chips. I consider flat-calling, but I don’t think DP is going to fold as often as he should to a 3-bet, and I also don’t think I’m going to induce a squeeze behind me, so I 3-bet to 4500. Folds to DP who calls.
Flop 9s 4c 3s. He checks, I think for a long time and bet 4000. He calls. Turn 4s. He checks, I think a bit and shove about 15K, he folds quickly. If I have the Ks, I think I check there.
Against a better player, I like the small flop bet. After calling pre-flop, most people aren’t going to fold an overpair, and I think they’ll usually check-shove if they don’t check-fold. They may do the same with something like AK/AQ. DP, on the other hand, is quite capable of calling once and folding the turn, so I probably should have tried to get a bigger flop bet out of him.
