5/30/07 - Review

I've decided to review a bunch of hands from a session I just played as much as possible and talk about them on my blog. I will vary posts consisting of big hands, well played ones, and poorly played ones. The session I just finished I was down a frustrating $7.5k, especially since I was down 25k on UB's 25/50 game. I don't think I played well in that, and it's too much to ask to be even when the biggest game you play is 5k and you drop 5 buyins in it.

I started playing HU vs this huge fish and had this hand damper my experience:

Later on I made a bad/questionable call vs Gaucho who generally gets the better of me, but at least I showed I will call him extremely light:

My image cooled off and then I had this poorly timed bluff but I am satisfied with the hand:

This hand vs a reg hurt. When the river came I knew I was beat:


I also played this guy HU at 10/25 where we have a LOT of history, and took him for about 14k. Here was the biggest hand. I tried to start 3betting him more when we got deeper because he would always call preflop (thinking I had a biggish hand) but play straightforwardly on the flop. I guess right when I got a good hand is when he decided I wasn't 3betting only premiums, which explains his flop call:


I had some coolers like KQ vs AA 3handed in a 3bet pot vs a maniac on a K82 but that's been standard for me this month. I am at a disappointing +67k and I feel as though I have run poorly all month (with the exception of tonight). Back to the grind...
