June Update, Intresting Hands, Moving Up

0

So I have played 2,062 hands so far this month, I've been running very bad except in one spot but finding good fish to exploit on the reg so I'm still up.

The other day I did the one thing a poker player should not be able to do in a cash game, open folded AA preflop lololol. I was tied up in another hand, and then my computer lagged 8-tabling with PT2 and PAHUD going and I open folded them. Probably only cost me .35 but who knows.

The hand I was tied up in I am not really sure what I would have done if I even had time to hit the timebank. I three bet a very loose, passive, stationish fish (70/44/1.2) player fairly deep with AQo. The flop is As 6H 2H, I have the AHQs. I bet 2/3 pot, and he esentially min raised me to $14. At this point I feel gross because the stack sizes are so awkward that I can't shove or fold, so I call. The turn is the 8d and I check. He shoves all in $24 fairly quickly.

I really do not know what to do here and I feel gross because I have the Ah so I know he doesn't have a top pair+flush draw hand. Also he has a low aggression factor, and I did three bet and call his min raise, he cannot expect me to fold much here. I think he has a lot of two pairs with Axs, and sets here more than a random draw he turned into a bluff.

I think this is a fold looking back at it with all the information given to me, although I do think I was going to call at the time just because he 4-bets ak, plays 70% of his hands, so I essentially have Top pair top kicker in a three bet pot versus a dumbass.

He does show his hand afterwards.

It's Okay though because this happened shortly after.

This seemed to happen 5 or more times with premium hands with loose tables. Just another way of running bad I suppose.

Here is the list of biggest Winners/Losers, most of them coolers imo...Stats are (VPIP)/PFR%/Aggression Factor

COOLER
QQ - Villain is playing 19/16/4 and I have been opening up my game a lot in position as of lately. Standard imo.

COOLER
JJ - Villain is playing 22/17/3.5 I think I have to stack off here as well when I am playing loose and floating a lot.

FISH PAYOFF
AKs - I thought about a river raise, but I didn't think KQ would call so I just flatted.

SQUEEZE ATTEMPT
J9o - Here I bet/fold the flop after getting flatted preflop by both players. The button flat calls again, and I pick up a straight draw on the turn. I really don't think I can check/fold this turn although I may have to. Ehh I don't hate the metagame advantages as well.

SUCKOUT-MY WAY ONE TIME!
KK - LuckySerge is 23/17/2 & PedroTB is 38/23/2. Here looking back I think I may be able to get away with check/folding this, but I have been playing very aggressively three betting and too many times have I folded at these stakes and seen nonsense that I think stacking off here is mandatory with back door spades.

SUCKOUT
95s in BB - Here I take a perfect line to get it in good on the turn.

TILT
99 - I am definitely burnt out after a long session here and thought "He can't ever have a flush here" and raised lol.

Outside of poker everythings been great. I haven't been drinking too much, haven't smoked a cig in 6 days and counting, and been out and about not playing poker too much! I really think I might actually quit this time, I realize I need to and its never going to be as easy as it is right now so I'm going for it.

I've been working out and getting in shape as well which feels great, working on the tan but starting out transparent...it takes a while. I bet I am tan compared to some online poker degens lol. Especially some 2+2ers!

Well I'm off to bed this thing took WAAAY too long to write! I will be taking shots at 50NL this weekend and will update you on everything poker related.

Also I need to go out to eat cuz...
