GG, shoved 14bbs sb vs cutoff or btn vs hijack cant remember with ATo vs active opener, he calls AJ and holds.
IN for tomorrow, field supposed to be even better tomorrow. Really nothing I could do with the pots I lost, the A8cc river line is interesting, a few different options discussed.
The hand plays out like this:
I've just lost JJ<KK vs pleno for a 25k pot at 150/300 and open utg next hand to 700 with
, btn who is a pretty bad player calls, pleno calls in the bb.
check, I bet 1250, btn calls, Pleno quickly calls.
, check, I decide to bet again 3500, thinking it looks really strong and Pleno would fold Qx, the btn can be rofling about, would fold a 7, perhaps call worse draws, maybe even fold a Q. Plus obv I have equity with the nfd. The btn calls and Pleno folds (AQ apparently).
Now I decided that the btn would now fold a Q almost certainly to a bet, but would value bet himself a Jack, KQ and a flush and would also struggle to fold these to a checkraise because he just was the kinda non-believer type who'd never find a hero fold. I decided he wasn't going to call a bet with the hands he'd check back with, so just decide to go for the max the times he has a flush or Jack. I decided also that it's easier to figure out how strong he is by checking and then deciding whether to raise or call or not, rather than bet myself and get raised and then be in a tough spot.
So I checked and he bet 5k, which seemed definitely small enough for me to be winning, so I went ahead and raised to 13k, and felt so sick when he tanked and then went allin for another 18k. Obviously I folded, I think he either had KJ or he had a straight flush
. Gross hand.
AT vs 99 on AT9 was uber standard, never not doubling the guy up there.
Oh well, on to the next one...
