Hands + Videos

Played a small number of hands today and had a crappy session. Only one real bad hand, that I cant find right now, but I can remember it.

I had AA in EP. One EP before me min raised and I 3 bet to 0.75. Got a button caller and original raiser to call me. Now I raised it 5.5X the BB from what he originally did. Flop comes 9 J K. Not a great flop for me because there are so many SD and two pair combo draws out there, not to mention there was a flush draw out there. So I pot it and the original raiser calls. Turn comes a J. Now I committed about half my stack already and I can tell this is a bad situation for me. I couldnt imagine him calling me with just a Jack here on the flop, and was hoping he had a king. He insta shoves into me. I know in the back of my head its a bad call, but I feel I need to call here. He ends up flipping over QJ. Normally I tilt here but didnt, and just kept my anger to myself. Not sure if I made a crazy bad play here or if he was in the wrong for even being in the pot in the first place, especially being OOP. O well, here are a few decent hands from today. Nothing good



On this hand I decide to raise it 5.5XX the BB from the button here, and unfortunately I get 3 callers. The flop comes pretty low, but a flush draw out there. I decide to overbet here because I would rather just take it down on the flop, and if I happened to get checkraised by any of my 3 opponents I pretty much have to shut down here. I hate playing a big hand like this against this many opponents. I only get one caller so I want to put him on something like A10, 88/99 here, or the FD. The turn brings a horrible card. Now I already posted this in forums and got responses, and watched a video where a hand like this was played. I should be checking here hoping that maybe he fires away a small bet on the river and I can just call. But there are more scare cards and I just dont want to give him some, so I fire away and I am committed if he shoves, but luckily I win here. But anymore I should be checking and hoping that they fire small and pot control this hand for the river, or that by me checking I induce a bluff and have to call if I take that line.



This hand I believe I butchered up, but couldnt really put anyone on a hand other than two paint cards going into the flop. Obviously I believe I should be folding this OOP especially against a raise and reraise. And especially since there is a SS after me to call the raise, if he shoves and people call I just wasted money. But the flop comes all low to my pocket pair and I decide to stab/find out where I am with a bet. I will call the SS if he shoves and no one else calls, but thankfully I took this down. Probably a crazy way to play this hand in a multiway pot OOP.



I decide here to raise jacks from EP 4X the BB. Get two callers to the flop. After a flop call here from my one opponent again I can go with a hand like A10 or 88/99, something like that and he may just be checking me out and trying to see a turn card here. A scary turn for me and I bet small, leaving him room to see this as weakness and fire big, but he doesnt and thankfully he folds. Good or bad??

Anyways, like I said I am going to be watching videos more and hopefully they can help me out more than just posting hand histories. That way I get a concept of actual in game analysis and what not. So I got a few from 2+2 and hopefully I can get through them, apply the concepts, and watch them over and over to keep jamming information/knowledge in my head.
