Terrible session today, until the very last 2 hands. I was down $75 at one point, and with roughly 5 hands to go was all ready to log my worst session ever. My AA got beat by KK AND 77 for the side pot, which I feel is virtually unreal. AA vs KK vs 77 flop is K72r. KK takes pot, 77 takes sidepot. I also lost a few other big pots which I think I'm choosing not to remember right now. One with KK to AQ when an A hit and made a large second barrel, got raised and felt committed and called, a very poor play. Amazingly, the last two hands I limp with PP (44 and 22 respectively), set up on the flop, and stack villain. Once the villain had AA and called a raise PF (leading me to call as well with position and see a 3way flop), so I feel like that one's kind of his fault for not raising. The other one I called a PFR in position and villain hit TPTK with AQ, while I hit my set of 222. Stacking time!
The subject of this thread is based on this hand:
Full Tilt Poker, $0.10/$0.25 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 8 Players
LeggoPoker.com Hand History Converter
Hero (CO): $29.80
BTN: $5.80
SB: $20.50
BB: $10.05
UTG: $6
UTG+1: $26.95
MP1: $24.50
MP2: $25.80
Pre-Flop: Kh As dealt to Hero (CO)
4 folds, Hero raises to $1, BTN folds, SB raises to $3.25, BB folds, Hero calls $2.25
SB was tight, otherwise I'd be comfortable getting all in here. I don't remember his PFR, but it was around 5.
Flop: ($6.75) 7d 9d Kc (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $3, SB raises to $6, Hero calls $3
I think that I might start folding this... then again I think that this is the best play. I had not been making moves at this table, but I had definitely been CBing when I raised, and I had been sitting here for 75-100 hands, so it's possible he may have been making a move. The problem is it's tough to put him on 77, 99 because of the 3bet PF. Therefore there are gutshots and diamond draws which COULD be making a move here. Also weak Kings trying to push me out with my AT+ or my TT-QQ. Of course there's also the KK/AA which make perfect sense here.
Turn: ($18.75) 8c (2 Players)
SB bets $4.50, Hero calls $4.50
This was where I planned to get to showdown cheaply. Straight draw hit, but I have TPTK, right?
River: ($27.75) 9h (2 Players)
SB bets $6.75 and is All-In, Hero calls $6.75
Not so cheap, huh? Although his bet is only 1/4 of the pot, how can I fold?
Results: $41.25 Pot ($2.05 Rake)
Hero mucked Kh As(two pair, Kings and Nines) and LOST (-$20.50 NET)
SB showed Ac Ad (two pair, Aces and Nines) and WON $39.20 (+$18.70 NET)
Overall, this was a good play by villain, but I think he got lucky I wasn't messing around with a draw. His turn bet was great for pricing me in to call his river shove, but had I held diamonds or a J it could have proved costly. Overall I think I misplayed the hand, but I'm unsure of where I should have acted differently. On the one hand, there is the flop, where a c/r shows so much strength. But if I'm folding AK when I flop TPTK on a wet flop, then what kind of value am I ever expecting to get from it? If I fold here, I'm incredibly exploitable, because I will fold if I was CBetting that flop, AND fold when I hit TPTK, which is really all you can hope to hit with AJ+ style hands, which are what I'm raising with.
Next you have the turn. He's betting only 1/4 of the pot... is it possible to fold TPTK here?
Then the river shove, which is still only 1/4 of the pot. Sigh.
Wouldn't it be great to have two big winning sessions in a row? ;)
