Big pot or small pot?

I'm not sure, it was about 1000 words compressed into a minute. Something to do with balla, nine, high, boss, rofler, and ending ended in weeeee

Will try to put it into practice

Raise the UTG to 800. Both blinds call.

Flop . SB leads 1,600 into the 2,400. Big blind calls. Fold.

This is not going well

I have 18k, MP raises to 800, and I have .

It's close. He has played tight. It's definitely not a three bet-call it off from 60bb, so if I'm three betting , then it's a three bet - fold. I call, so do three others behind.

Flop   . Raiser bets, fold

17k. Nothing going right

Raise HJ to 900 at 200-400(50). Button three bets to 2,800. He has been the tightest guy at the table, and it's a fold

It came. 30,700.

I raise UTG2 to 900 at 200-400(50). Three callers.

It comes . I bet 2,500 of my 13,300.

Two folds, and the button makes it 8,500.

I go with it. When I move in, I make the mistake of almost being ready to show my hand. He brings very good news as he sighs and says 'how much?'

He thinks for a while. Its 4,800 to win 31k. I'm thinking, please please fold. Obviously would be insane to fold unless he really does have a bluff.

He calls and has . We survive

Got one wrong.

I have 33k and in the small blind. Button raises to 1,400. Button's hand strength has been telegraphed by his sizing: the bigger, the weaker.

Small blind calls.

If the button folds, it feels like the SB is almost definitely folding. I squeeze to 4,500.

It happens in a frustrating way. Button goes to muck, and brings them back, goes to muck again, bangs his cards a little bit. Calls.

Given that it was obviously so close, there may well be a case for just making it more pre flop.

SB folds

Flop .

This feels like a standard one shot. He may call 66-JJ, but he's not going with much else that isn't a flush draw or Q. I bet 4k. He insta makes it 10k. Guess he has a queen

25k

No good

Guy who doubled me up with the 43 opens to 1,200 UTG. CO calls. I have on the button. He is opening more than a month 35% of pots, so it's either a call or a three bet. I call.

Flop . Raiser checks,  CO bets 2k into 4,700. I have 23k. Messy to raise fold, so I call.

Turn . CO bets 3,500 into 11,700. I have the odds to call, and so definitely the implied odds to call. There is obviously some possibility of me moving all in on turn, in the hope of it looking strong, but it's just too high variance of a move for the Main.

I call. Seems unideal to be just calling off trying to hit a spade, but it's definitely right.

Miss the river. He bets, I fold.

16,700

Raise to 900 MP, button calls and BB calls.

It comes with . It's checked twice and the big blind bets 2000 into 3,400 on the river.

I really think about it. He is most of the time going to lead all his Jacks, two pairs, and sets and maybe even tens on the turn. He may check a flush on the turn to slow play it, but it's still suspicious.

The problem is that his BB calling range that has nothing is similarly restricted. It's only really KQ, A9, A7, A4 and A3. And maybe K9.

I did think he maybe looked nervous but wasn't sure enough to pull the trigger and call

Got lucky. 28k

I have  on the CO. MP throws in a 1k chip. Confusion, and he says he meant to raise. Presumed 100% true.

My sizing is a big decision. Presumably he will come along for at least 1,800, but the BB is the player who doubled me up with 43, and I am short enough that I do want it three way. I make it 1,400. Big blind and original limper call.

Flop . Beautiful. I have 13k. MP bets 1,500.

It must be right to trap. He will go crazy on a non heart turn. He I call.

BB makes it 6,500. To be honest, it doesn't feel good at all, but it has to be right to go with it. Not far behind two pair, but some possibility of a hand like , and definitely also of something like , (given the earlier 43 play). I move all in.

Given that he thought so long with the cinch call earlier with 43 to my all in, his call after two seconds feels like bad news.

He does indeed have .

Board comes

Phew.
