I thought it might be fun to do a thread where I put up some hands I thought were funny/interesting/or anything from vegas, as I'm going to be playing a shitload of live poker and live poker usually throws up some pretty hilarious spots, I might being a bit arrogant assuming anyone would give a shit lol but you never know!

Feel free to flame/berate anything posted as well!

So first hand  which was quite funny....

$10.20 and it folds to me in the CO, tight player on the btn who is distracted writing something down and loose passive players in the blinds, I go for an open with the   (I don't usually do stuff like this fwiw, but seemed like a decent spot to open some junky suited cards) to $60.

fold fold, Big blind - who just lost a pretty retarded pot calls.

flop 853dd he chks, I bet $80, he calls. he has about $1400 back

turn , he checks, I elect to bet again which may well not be the best play, but i bet $220. He calls.

River is a 9. he chks. I have some showdown value now, and tbh I think a lot of the time he just has an 8x hand or whatever, but I also thought he would have a lot of 78/89/9T hands which he cant call a river bet with, i was pretty much 100% sure he'd raise a flush draw OTF. so i went ahead and bet $480 into $720. he spends age counting chips out and then says he wants to make it $780, which ofc isn't a legal raise, he is forced to raise to $960.

I didn't think he had a flush, I didn't think he'd raise a striaght (I actually half expected him to "blocker bet" a 6 otr) and he never has 88/55/33 and doesn't raise 77 or 99 or two pairs.

So despite not being able to think of any combo's he is bluffing with, and was myself bluffing the river, I decided to call  thoughts

Not sure how you can categorise a player as 'loose passive' then be 100% sure he'd checkraise a flush draw OTF. Where do these reads even come from? Bet calling the river is insanity. Your post is about as well thought out as your line tbh.

I love you Rob, wish you're little face was here frowning at me asking me how the fuck i've ever made any money ever

[SuuPRlim]

quite a few spots today, here's one hand I think I might have misplayed....

$10/$20 nl

I am OTB playing ~$6k

I Open to $60 with  

Folds to the BB - a confirmed Reg who has been 3betting me loads this game (think he is trying to pick on me a bit *sad face*) playing ~$6k also

He 3bets to $220. I call.

Flop ($450)   .

He checks. This surprises me because he had appeared to be Cbetting kinda more than usual, and more the most part pretty well (he had been making hands mind) i felt for sure if he had air he'd lead this flop, which by the same logic means he'd lead a strong hand (AQ etc)

I Decide to chk back - this could be a mistake - My logic was that if I had Air, he'd prolly expect me to either fire a couple of barrels or just give it up, when i chk back I rep marginal showdown value, 88/99 9Ts (some Ax's admittedly) and some airballs - not really sure what frequency he'd exect me to bluff here, I think anything with some some equity I might dbl barrel, but he will prolly try bet for value with KK/QQ at some point in the hand, if he bets the turn I can raise and my line looks so weird that he MIGHT hero at least one bet with KK/QQ as I'm sure because of how he'd expect me to play my AIR he'd expect me to bet 66/TT/AT/A6 almost 100% OTF.

Turn ($450)  .

He leads for $360. Now whereas I don;t think he has a flush very often here I now don't really think I can raise, raising now I'm repping a flush and my actual hand is so under-repped that I don't really see mich merit to over-repping it, I figured he'd prolly be showing up with JJ-KK with a spade a high %. As well as this, I actually got a bit of a live read that he might have a really good hand, IDKeven really what it was, just an instinct....

River ($1170)  

He deliberates and bets $1,460. One thing I didn't consider OTF was that of all the "Air" hands he might have, the ones he MIGHT chk are actually spade/spade combo's, and with the not being on the board there could well be a bunch of   Xs (8Ts/TJs etc) he was checking the flop, to try C/R with most fold equity.With this new thought and the instinct I had on the turn about him being strong, coupled with the face he'd overbet and he didn't seem in anuy way crazy I decided to fold (shocker)

Thoughts?

(FWIW I think this is in general a bad fold, for reasons I think Rob will explain )

when i meant passive I meant that i didn't think the players in the blinds in this hand would EVER 3bet me light, was a justification for my kinda meh open. He'd c/r both  flush draw and a striaght draw OTF i similar spots whilst I'd been there (the striaght draw was on a two-tone board and he still c/r gets ~$1500 in) and I'd also seen him donk a set against the initiative with similar pot-2-stack. That was why I was really really sure he didn;t have a flush or a set. He could defo have had a straight though.

[SuuPRlim]

Brag hand kinda

$25/$50 NL ($100 btn ante)

I am UTG and open to $200 with playing ~$9k

Fishy Player (very charming, well dressed drunk man) calls UTG2 - playing $4.5k

Decent player ( a little tilted) calls in the HJ playing $10k+

BB playing ~$15k calls.

Flop ($925) 

I chk. Whale bets $725

Decent player calls

BB folds

I Raise to $2,050.

My image at this point in the game is JOKE nitty, I have been really card dead, I have the best player on my table two to my left and the action was pretty heavy.

The fish has previously commented how tight i am, and has been doing lots of "stabbing" and the decent player knows this (giving him a reasonably diluted range OTF) and I feel like he HAS to give me credit for a hand squeezing with the fish in the pot. + I have overcards and backdoor equity should I get called, seemed like a great spot

gl out there.

Turn was checked to me, He only had $400~ back on the river. timing tells i honestly don't really know because Im not 100% convinced I was fully concentrating throughout this hand which is obv terrible and I hope the poor respected blonde member who has a piece of me out here doesn't read that lol

[muckthenuts]

Probably can't comment on most hands played at this level but glglglgl mate, looking forward to reading them!

edit: though that first hand is surely a horrific river bet/call? expecting a check/min raise bluff after you've triple barreled a soaking wet board to happen like ever surely can't be correct

its live cash. stnd at 10/20 islike 50/1 online, comment away its all just fun

plus im not really looking for advice for the most part just trying to make an interesting thread

well you are right lol, but i dont think we should look at the river as a "bet call", i wasn't initially "betting to call" I expected him to raise like never so didn't really consider it too much......

I'd rather look at the two actions seperately, was it a good river bluff firstly, now he's raised can he ever have a better hand?

remember OTR he has $1200~ i bet $460 and he trys to make it $760 - why wouldn't he go all in if he had a good hand? I think betting the turn is the worst bit of the hand personally
