Some fun live hands

ianmc38

Hand 1. Level 1 10k chips. I'm the SB and have already lost about 4k with a flush over flush hand in my first few hands.

Rob Taylor in his 1st hand raises to 225. Button who is quite loose calls. I make it 725 from the SB with AsAc. Both of them call.

Flop Jx 2d 3d

I bet 1650. Rob flat calls. button shoves. Easiest fold ever?

Hand 2.

I've 4.5k. Blinds 50/100. A few limpers. Button makes it 500. I have AKo in the SB. Call, raise or shove?

Hand 3.

Cash game. Villain is a bit of an idiot. Keeps putting in stupid bluffs and has gotten called down alot and mucked instantly.

Loads of limpers and I make it 15 OTB with AcAs.

2 callers

Flop (55)

Tc 8c 4c

Checked to me. I bet 40. Idiot calls, leaving 200 behind. I cover.

Turn (135)

5s

He leads for 125.

Call, fold or ship that mofoing sherbert?

Hand 4

Effective stacks 520.

Few limpers and a guy makes it 10. 1 caller and I make it 45 OTB with AcKc.

Comes back to him. He repots. He starts talking asking me if I have AA/KK and whether or not I'm Hollywooding. He's been splashing cash around like a muppet trying to impress people by purposely displaying a wad of notes (hope he doesnt read boards) and asking people to bet 1k on the flip of a coin. This is his 1st hand he's played and i've no idea how he plays, but i think he's a bit of a gobshíte so I ship it in there?

Happy days or oh no you didnt?

Hand 1 please call quick.
Hand 2 shove please.
Hand 3 ship it in
Hand 4 fold this one, just from the bull he's spouting. He almost certainly has AA or KK.

I agree with Hand 2,3 and 4

I'd probably fold hand 1 although trying to get a read off Rob would affect how i play this hand. Its possible the button has a small set if he's that loose, or maybe JJ. Rob could have KK,QQ or JJ here. Either way, i think you're behind

Im feeling brave today

Hand 1 : Ship it

Hand 2: ship it

Hand 3: ship it
Hand 4:depends really what I can tell by his behaviour .folding is fine and I don’t think shiping is that bad to be honest.

El Stuntman

1 - I'd seriously consider folding (and then go broke anyway lol). NFR's flat call would scare the sh!t outta me

2 - no read on button? ship it anyway

3 - given your description of villain, you have to ship it in there

4 - what a tool!
I prolly fold this and think CS is on the money with his read, Sounds like you will have better opportunities to outplay him post-flop.
Spin the coin though and call heads.....

BigCityBanker

Hand 1 - u have d nuts and call, Id be putting him on an overpair here more often than not. This is JP's tourney yeah? If so call.

Hand 2 - Shove

Hand 3 - Bah, im a station and put him in here.

Hand 4 - If he is the eijit you say he is then there are gonna be better spots to get his money. I think he almost always has one of the 2 hands you dont want to see. Wait for a better spot! Was the villian El Stuntman?

it sounds more like your modus operandi tbh

Ste05

1: Call
2: Raise to 2k and open push any Flop or push now
3: Push
4: Tricky, depend on how much of a gambly mood I was in TBH, I'd say he has a pair alright, probably JJ or QQ and won't fold it and he could certainly have AA or KK, I could do either really but probably fold.

Samba

Point 1.

(hope he doesnt read boards)

Almost a certainty, a true poker superstar.


Hand 1. fold

call push fold

What cardshark said on all 4.

Hand 1 tough though.

cooker3

For hand 3, seeing as he bluffs a lot, does anyone like calling the turn and letting him bluff the river?

Hand 1 I hate your preflop raise. You are announcing the strength of your hand out of position and giving around 20-1 implieds odds to NFR. He also knows if he calls the button will call as well. A bigger raise will make people think you have Ak as well.

Wasn't overly enamoured with it myself afterwards, nor was I about any hand I played at it. What amount would you bet? 1250?

I think an even 1000 would be fine.

Norwich Fan Rob

i thought straight away in hand 1 i was probably behind pre flop, but i felt i had to call given stacks and 3 way action.

obv the perfect looking flop for me, but really wanted the other dude to have a set and not a draw...........

yeah felt a bit sick for you after the hand. I think your flop call is so strong that the button has a really tough spot. I never once had you on ace jack and i think if you got to the flop with AJ you'd fold to my flop bet.

Results:

1. I folded pretty quick. I was sure thbe butotn had a set or a flush draw. Robs cold call on the flp really scared me as I had JJ as alarge part of his range. I fodled. Rob had JJ, button AKd and hit a flush on the turn.

2. Felt pretty stupid after this hand. I made it 2500. Checked an all flop heart and check called allin on an ace turn. He had KhJh and that was all she wrote for me. Think I should have shoved preflop.

3. I shipped it in and was instacalled by 67 with one club. no miracle on the river.

4. He called with QQ and I spiked an ace on the flop. He left immediately to play blackjack.

Hand 1: Raise a little bit more. If button is aggressive he could easily be doing this with two diamonds looking to take the pot or gamble if he's called. I don't mind taking him on early in competition here but if you think he's going to be easy to get chips out of in a better position then passing is best as long as the blind levels aren't short. Agree that it a little bigger raise pre-flop might have helped 725 is grand with no caller but that caller means bumping it up a little bit more is a good idea.

Hand 2: Shove, last thing you want to do is be faced with a tough flop decision when your AK misses.

Hand 3: I think your way ahead of the range of hands he could have here get it in and laugh at his TJ and just hope its not clubs! If so then just be happy in the knowledge that he'll be handing you plenty of chips in the long run anyway.

Hand 4: Easy fold to an unknown really. Wait for someone else to get fed up with his waffle to see if he is a bluffing maniac or whether he does have the good then you'll know what to do in a pot against him.
