I did have a few hands which I folded when I was actually ahead
this villain I would say was very lucky I could not see him holding anything but a set when he does a call followed by a raise.

with this hand after so many limpers and a raise still being done when he the does such a big bet on the flop the last thing I would expect him to hold was KJ i was heading towards AA KK JJ AK AJ the only hand i could see him holding that i still would be beating was AQ.

Nice hand!

Sorry about the donk bet, was playin a good few tables, and must have been clicking buttons.

Glad i didn't bet the river! I like the call on the turn (after i've donk bet). Keeping in bluffs.

On the turn, that's where i would have probably re-raised, if it's a bluff, you wern't getting much more value anyway.

hhyftrftdr · June 2013

Not a big fan of that last KJ hand. I know you have position but it looks like a good spot to rep a massive hand and r/r. Taking KJo 4 way in a bloated pot is never that great. Then to flop 2 pair and fold? Think you're caught in no mans land on that flop, as you haven't really defined his range pre.

Strong squeeze raise pre would probably take it down. The suited ace might even come along for the ride (I know what they are like at 4nl!) and you get the lot from him.

All my opinion of course

craigcu12 · June 2013

after so much bad luck and cool downs I seem to be getting back to winning ways again
so far my bankroll has recovered back to £158 and one table alone i managed to get profit of £10.07
as for full houses well thing might be starting to even themselves out again because this villain was not lucky enough to stay ahead with his FH.

Nice one Craig, good to finally get a winning session behind you i bet, gl at the tables mate.

est1967 · June 2013

I must say i sat on a table with you today for 90mins i dont think we got involved in a hand together lol,You played well mate tonight hope you made profit.

hhyftrftdr · June 2013

Yeah that rivered K got you out of jail

ah well, win some lose some.

craigcu12 · June 2013

i am quite surprised to make a £20 recovery in just 4 hours most days i would be lucky to have got that much in 3 days worth.
my tables today were much better.
overall i was on 18 and out of them 18 6 got losses with just servere loss of £4 the rest />-£1.40. out of the winnings from tables 4 of them were £2+ including that 10.07 and a £7.07 and most the others got atleast £1 profit.
as for my hand history well today i decided to go much more aggressive again.
and the winnings i got were
£4.35 £4.29
£3.76 £3.35 £3.31 £3.29
£2.85
£1-£2 16 hands
as for losses they were
£3.12
£1-£2 7 hands.
the hand i liked best was this one all i can say myself is their is nothing like a cbet

craigcu12 · June 2013

today has been another good day for me on the tables and again I managed to get over £12 profit on one table alone I have a few cooldowns today but the winning hands were much greater than the loosing ones
I was on 18 tables overall (16nl4 and 2 action)
10 tables got winnings totalling £36.07 biggest being £12.30
the 8 loosing tables totaled 10.75 biggest being -£4.73
overall I finished with profit £25.32 and my bankroll is now £188.80.
the hand history was winnings
£6.35
£4.34 £4.19
£3-£4 5 hands
£2-£3 7 hands
£1-£2 7 hands
losses were
£3.07 £3.02
£2.29
£1-£2 9 hands

craigcu12 · June 2013

it has been another profitable and easy session for me overall i managed a profit of £24.78 from 17 tables
11 tables managed to get profits the biggest being £8.05 and the total overall was £36.59
the biggest loss i had from a table was £5.87 and the total lost was £11.81
the bankroll itself is now £213.58
my hand history was
winnings
£6.99
£4.47
£3.63 £3.26
£2.89 £2.39
£1-£2 8 hands
the losses were
£2-£3 4 hands
£1-£2 4 hands

since that big deal promo finish the tables have returned to a much more passive style of play so basically it helps save so much money when i am in position.
even most of them big losses could so easily have been avoided.
i did take a risk when i called this because i was thinking at the time he was holding QJ

Nice to see you are winning again.

Last hand, it makes no sense to bluff £3 in order to win £1. A bluff of £1 would have had pretty much the same result, and saved you £2 for when you miss on the river.

Personally I would have checked behind and re evaluated on the river.

Is only £1.20 effective so that bet size is the only real option if we want to bet. (make the flop bigger to make the turn shove < a pot sized bet if this is your plan)

Agree with you about checking back the turn though. We've got decent pot equity, very little fold equity (when do we @ the micros?), position, and shouldn't have problems getting paid the times we get there (again, when do we at micros?).

these days it is quite suprising the number of times that I can get a villain to fold just because i do a bet when a scare card comes.
take this hand for instance the guy who raised preflop ended up C/F the flop, then when i attempt a bluff on the turn the aggressor during the flop seems to have put me on a 3 or he was attepting a bluff himself. as for the calling station my guess with him is he had Ax which he failed to hit

Balance that range Craig. Folded to you in the cutoff with 89s? Beautiful, pump it up.

craigcu12 · June 2013

thing again didn't start well to begin, with my first session getting another loss of over £5 in total but that session overall was not that long and their was lot's of sport I watched today too.
my night session went much better and make a decent recovery so I still managed to get a winning total of £9.61
all the profit I got added up to £15.10 from 5 tables (3nl4 2 act) with one getting £8.83
all the losses I got added up to -£5.49 and the worst table has a loss of £1.66.
my bankroll is now £233.02.

the big hands today were
winnings
£4.80
£2.56 £2.37 £2.08
£1-£2 5 hands
the losses I got were
£3.03
£1.17 £1.13

the one hand I did wonder about was weather or not I should have just call his raise then allow him to maybe bet on the turn.

Craig well done on another profitable day mate, just want to say i don't like the way you played the As no need to get so tricky and let other players see the flop when you just call the 4bet you give the 3rd player a great price to see the flop and could get yourself into some tricky situations. Personally i open to 25p-30p with a player already opening for min, then when i get 4bet i'm loving it as i know they have a v-strong range and will be putting in another decent raise maybe to like £1.35, them kind of hands play themselves we dont need to overcomplicate or play them too tricky in my opinion. UL with the kj hand though pretty sick river lol keep up the good work.

hhyftrftdr · June 2013

Money has to go in on the turn with the flopped set hand. You minraised him, he then raises you again. To just flat that and leave 80p or so behind screams massive strength. I don't like the min raise, but when he goes back over the top its a green light to jam and get paid off by what I would assume is AK or AA.

craigcu12 · June 2013

things haven't started well today so far I am at a loss of -£4.98.
one hand that puzzled me was
the villian himself I do have notes down that he calls premium pair preflop.

That hand post flop is fine.

Fold it pre though, even for 2p.

As you have demonstrated, even if you make a hand it can often be the lower straight/flush/boat vs villain

LARSON7 · June 2013

You have suited connectors, so nothing wrong with the call.

This guy had the total nuts, so you got away really cheap! We're just really ul he has higher straight, whats the chances.

hhyftrftdr · June 2013

I like the fold pre flop. I also like the call pre flop too. There's only one way to settle this....

FIGHT!

LARSON7 · June 2013

Raise it!

Posted by LARSON7

my only reason as to why he did not raise it on the turn is the board was a rainbow but It still is very well connected to allow two pairs as possibility.
my guess is it was just another case of a beginner getting too concerned that a raise will result in him getting called by stronger hands such as 8 10 betting with a double gut shot or a FH. I even said in the comment box "thanks for you calls" as a basic tip that he is wasting the chance to steal lots.
as for my preflop all 3 of you are probably right because a call can be ok but the difficulty with suited connectors is when OOP if manage to hit my hand but am on a passive table all I am left to do then is jump straight in with a bet and hope i still manage to get a call and if it is the flush I hit it makes the strength much more obvious.
atleast when I am in position villians might think that I am pulling a bluff.

craigcu12 · June 2013

anyway I am just glad it was not any of you 3 or tintin in the BB because then I would probably have lost all my money on the river

LARSON7 · June 2013

or before:)

craigcu12 · June 2013

forget micro stakes the real beginners appear more often in BH's
if I have a tight image villians are much more cautious in nl4 cash tables yet even tight images won't reduce the risk he has calling.

things today were not very good in cash games and i suffered a small loss of -8.33
i made a profit on 6 tables and that totalled £10.97 my best table got £3
the losses i had was £19.30 the worst was a loss of -£4.

then i went into the mini and in that i got of to a very good start with my 2nd and 3rd hand being AA and facing KK in that tournament i finished 13th with a prize of £14.50+18.06HP (5 heads)
overall i finished today with a profit of £20.18
my cash table big hands were
winnings
£2.59 £2.49 £2.05
£1.70 £1.54 £1.41
losses

my bankroll is £251.77

benc · June 2013

Cant believe the bankroll has shot up to £251.77 so quickly thats over a £100 since you returned from your break really impressed with how you dealt with that period, took a break and did some reviewing and worked on your game, have to admit when we were looking through your hhs you did have loads of coolers but you also recognized where you were going wrong in alot of hands and seem to have fixed alot of the leaks and the hard work is starting to pay off. WP on the cash in the mini, good to get a cash on your return to mtts.

craigcu12 · June 2013

today has been a strange day because although I only got a small loss that was helped greatly from yet more villians who don't seem to raise once I make a bet.
the total I lost from tables was -£11.03 from 8 tables overall
the profit I got was £8.18 from 4 tables.
the overall total today was a loss of -£2.85 and my BR is now £248.92
today I dropped 1 nl4 and had a nl10p table i didn't start well and lost £2.
part of why i joined a nl10 is so i can start to get a better understanding of aggressive villians. i am now getting convinced that with nl4 the only way pots are going to be decent is if i shipped it all myself or do overbets as villians will rarely seem to make a reraise much against me not even with the NUTS.
