Well time for another installment of "how can Blackmagicz be more of an ass at the table"
So today's session started off in the calm 200NL and progressively moved over to the nutty 400NL where I sat with a doctor and what seemed all of his friends. For the most part the game was the standard, shove AK, 1 pair shove, which was great poker because I was able to wait and pick spots.
Some notable hands:
quad 3s made a whopping 125 bucks in that hand on a board of 33446, and get who limped into this pot....AA...WTF, AA doesn't like raising yet makes a crying call on the river when he bets 25 and I re-raise him to 60...HAHAHAH....live poker is great
Made some huge lay downs against my fellow Doctor friend. Here is the hand,
We have effective stacks of about 1200 and he does his standard open of 75 preflop with his range of AX KX and any pair....so I am in position and we have been chatting about poker and I have gotten a good sense of his game. Basically smash when he thinks he is winning and have no consideration for the rest of the players in the hands or the value of their hands.
So here we go....after the 75 open I look down at 88 in LP and flat...(I think it was ok to do this because we are deep and I play way better post flop then he does...)
Flop is 992.....he fires out 100 right away..now at this point I run through the range of hands he could have...I automatically discount any pair...because to raise 75 and have me flat in position and if you are sitting with AA KK or any pair above my 88, there is no reason to bet as he knows I will gladly hang myself...(as the rest of the commerce knows that I enjoy playing big pots when I have a hand I think is winning, well except for when I get 2 outered which has happened a lot actually on this trip....weird...)
So I flat his 100 expecting to see undercards again...now I was discussing this hand with my buddy who was at the table and he said I should have re-raised at this point, but I figured because we were deep I wanted to grab more of his money...well it doesn't happen because the turn is a Q and well that completes a lot of his hands he would c-bet with AQ, KQ etc....and he fires out 200 now....I gladly muck announcing to him that he turned me and he flashes AQ and I avoid a serious train wreck...(I almost shoved...but the spidey senses went off saying that Queen helped him....hence the bigger bet...) Yeah I know weird logic but if you sit in these commerce games, people have no idea where they are at in the hand and they just bet like monsters when they hit a piece, so when you flop a set or some disguised hand you get paid....dumb live poker....
So after that debacle of a hand I end up scooping small pots here and there and I end up + for the session. Nothing too crazy after that hand, just standard small ball poker with 1 pairs etc....betting for value, making a few bluffs.
For the most part all the regulars know me now as the Tough Canadian and they respect my game as I have been able to hold my own against their idiotic form of poker and I have really put them to tests with check raising (its actually funny how often I can check raise people off their hands here at the commerce, its like the autonut when you do it)
Looking forward to putting in another session tomorrow and taking some more money from these folks...although on a side note I am starting to get sick of these 12 hour sessions and I will probably cut it down a bit...just cause its draining my brain....
