Hand History Dump

Anon posted that he wanted a few HH so here we go with 2 recent session reviews.  Been playing a lot more PLO recently so some are PLO and some are NL:

10/22/2013-MD Live

1:45 2/5 NLHE -$108
15:12 2/2 PLO -$224

My first real marathon session at MD Live ended around 6:30 am. Wife doesn't love these long sessions but the game was off the hook with at least 15k dumped into it during the time I was there. Sadly I was not the recipient of any of it. In fact, one fish runner-runnered me 3 times and I was 1 outed twice in 1k+ pots-once on the turn and once on the river. I won't dwell on the run bad but will post the most interesting hand I played which generated a ton of chatter at the table.

Not sure about my flop line, Turn make brutal fold, River gets there 

I don't really remember exact action but I believe there was a raise to $10 and I call OTB with A78T Whatever, suited A, a broadway, 3 connected and OTB seems standard at this point. 7 to the flop

(Pot ~$70) Flop 693 Well that's pretty good! A real donk fish leads for $35. His range is super wide and pretty much irrelevant. An uber-nit, fit or fold then pots to $175. Folds to me. The nit is super nutted here. Like 3578 type hand or 99xx. He has about $700 behind. I don't think getting it in can be a huge mistake as donk leader is probably never folding anything 2pr+. I end up deciding to flat. Just not sure about this. Short stack now c/r all in for $80 total and donk leader calls. 

(Main Pot $390; Side Pot ~$285) Turn 4 Donk leader had smoked 40...lol. Nit stuffs $700 and its back on me. His range is 100% 357x at this point. He just is never stuffing with a set here. So now it's math time. I have 1kish left in my stack and donk-fish covers. He is calling this for sure and calling whatever I do. Size of pot, etc, etc, etc. I can call the $700, stuff $300 if I hit and he is still calling. So if we assume his money is in:

Pot=$675+$700 (shove)+$700 (donkfish)=$2075 and costs me $700 so I need 33-34% equity to be good. I have no , not even blockers so I have only 9 clean outs. Plus if my read is right the nit has some of my outs so maybe I have only 6-7 outs?? Obv that only gives me like ~15% equity. Even if the diamonds are ok that's only 4 more outs and AT BEST I get to like 25% equity. 

After 5-7 mins I puke fold, lamenting not just stuffing flop. Fish insta calls

(Pot $2075) River 8  PUKE!  

I would have scooped.  Oh well, my reads were dead on though.

11/3/2013-MD Live

6:57 2/5 NLHE -$109

Played my first Sunday session at MD Live the other day. Basically woke up and decided to head down for the afternoon. Got there and was immediately seated at a new table that was just opening. Session was super boring as I was card dead all day and at a really stationey table that required me to play rather ABC TAG. Given that and just not a lot of value spots I was fine with a marginally losing session. 

There were a few hands of interest though.

AA is only a pair bruh 

This happened relatively early in the session...certainly within the first hour. There were a few limps and a meh-LAG raised to $25 in CO, BTN calls and I find AA in SB. I 3b to $115 with ~550 effective stacks. I went a little bigger here than normal as I had 3b out of the blinds with AK an orbit or two earlier and thought it may look bluffy. Raiser tank folds and BTN insta-calls. I feel like his range here has to be mostly 77-JJ with maybe the occasional AXs type of hand. 

(Pot ~$265) Flop 723. So basically with this dry of a flop and stacks relatively short, I'm never folding AA. I bet $150 and he thinks for a moment and calls. Now his range should still be overpairs that "put me on AK", maybe the odd flush draw, or flopped sets I guess.

(Pot ~$565) Turn 9 Not the greatest card in the world but I have A so not drawing dead. I put the remaining ~$300ish in and he snap calls. I assume 77 or 99 but no, he turns over QJand I miss river. 

I do hear the old "It's only 1 pair" over the music on my headphones and I just laugh at these retards.



Flopped Set on Mono Board

This was a bit later in the session and I am stuck like a buy-in at this point. The BTN from hand #12 (above) raises to 20 from CO, I call from BTN with 66, SB calls and we go 3 ways to the flop. I 3b here some but he was playing super sticky so I attempted to flop a big hand and win a big pot rather than simply win a smallish one.

(Pot ~$65) Flop 962 Checks to me and I bet $50. Only SB calls. SB was a baddish Asian dude. Super nitty most of the session but had just seen him call down with A8 on 8 hi flop and lose a BI to an obvious big pair. 

(Pot ~$165) Turn J He checks, I bet $110 and he c/r to $250. WTF? Did he flop it? i think about it and decide to call. If figure his range includes AJ, flopped flushes, some 2 pair combos (most likely being J9) and flopped sets. I'm not in super shape against that range.

AdJ, 99, 22, J9, dd	64.15%	1,750	0

(Pot $665) River offsuit A. He leads for $300. This is like the worst card for me as far as convincing myself of his range. I talk myself into him having 2 pair hands (most likely A with either a J or 9). I quickly do the math in my head and figure I need a little less than 25% equity to call. Finally I do and he shows K8 for the flopped flush. 

In hindsight, I'm not sure I can play it too much differently. Maybe fold the river when it goes c/r turn and lead river. But I think he plays AJ similarly. I think I can remove 22 from his range as I think he spazzes out on that flop with bottom set. 

Who knows? Any thoughts on this hand?



LOL Pot Odds Flops It 

At this point I am stuck like $1.2k and going to leave in the next hour or so. Table was super limpy and weak passive. I was still really card dead and had been super quiet. A few limped to me and I overlimped 78. Guy 2 to my left raised to $25, CO calls, BTN calls, BB calls, both limpers call and I give it the LOL Pot Odds call getting 7.5/1 immediate. 

(Pot ~$175) Flop 456...Hello! BB and limpers check. i lead straight out for $130 with about $500 behind. CO is a meh reg and he calls after about 20 secs. All else fold. He views me I think as a hyper LAG even though I am playing very tight today. He is probably a break even reg at best and I don't think he is really too good. His range is probably like overpairs, flush draws, maybe pairs plus straight draws. My hand prob looks like flopped sets, nut flush draws, 2 pairs, etc.

(Pot ~$435) Turn J I realize I probably could have sized a bit better once I debate my turn sizing. I finally just decide to focus on his drawing range and get as much value out of that now as I can since he will just fold river unimproved. I settle on $325 leaving $175-ish behind. He goes into the tank and am pretty sure he must be drawing. Finally he says "Ok I'm all in". I obviously call. When he does this I am pretty sure he is not drawing but must have flopped/turned a set or something so I am rooting against a paired board. 

(Pot ~$1450) I'm thinking a red 2 would be good!! River A  But he tables JJ for the turned set and I scoop a pretty good sized pot. 

Won a few more smallish pots and then packed it in down a trivial ~$110. Like I said given my relatively bad cards and the stickyness of the table, I think this was a 6.5-7 on a 10 scale session grade.
