GTA Poker

After a 6 month break I've played a few sessions this week.

LOL live pokerz.

250bb effective stacks 8 handed 1/2 NLH:

Villain $800ish (UTG) Raises to $15
2 callers
Hero (AA) $500ish is a lagtard playing 80/45/45 or similar (more lag than tard usually) who has raised the last 15 hands (SB) Raises to $80
Villain calls
all the meek fold

Flop 982 rainbow
Hero bets $120
Villain shoves and shows QQ
Hero snap calls and holds

-------

Same Villain now on Hero's right -- effective stacks approx 400bb @ 1/2NL

Folded to Villain (CO) who raises to $15
Hero (Qc7c) (BTN) calls $15
all the meek are out

Flop T72hh

Villain bets $15
Hero calls $15

Turn T727hh

Villain bets $30
Hero Raises to $135
Villain Calls

River T7274hh

Villain checks
Hero shoves $550ish
Villain SNAP CALLS (QQ)

Hero stacks chips high and tall...lol live pokerz.

Brag:

Players want me at their tables because they think I'm a loose cannon and don't ever observe that I put $10 - $20 the pot seemingly without thinking many times a round, but don't understand that when I put $600 in a pot I have them crushed.

Beat:

Seriously, stop talking about poker when you are PLAYING POKER at the poker table...especially that fat woman who seems to be there all the time based on my last 3 sessions and who will stack an overpair for a gillion bbs on a dry rainbow flop.

Variance:

Man, the food is still atrocious at Grey Eagle.

if this is 5th level thinking, I must be missing something. How to milk a calling station 101.

Nice playing!!

I can't claim to use anything more sophisticated when I'm playing 1/2NL

love to hear about the other hands where his AA ran into a set or his trips was outkicked, etc, etc.

ReefAquarium

Really?

I find that kinda stuff rather boring,

I ran AA 400bb into KK, QQ, JTs and 58o

58o made a straight.. JTs made a straight, QQ made a set...

Lol, I'm not playing a 300-400bb pot with AA vs a set...ever. If you can't read opponents at 1/2 then don't play live poker.

I don't play ABC/big starting hand poker and that's why I get people to put in several hundred bbs almost to completely drawing dead.

Mehhhh, it's 1-2 live, you can be the biggest nit and people will still pay you off with weak holdings in huge pots since they simply cannot fold their hands.

GTA Poker

True, but you can make MORE money by playing more hands vs weaker players -- ie 100% someone in this thread folds the 2nd hand preflop

just like I called $40 pre-flop on the weekend (2/5) with 45h only to flop the nut straight. Ship me a nice $1000 pot! Your not the only one on this site who knows how to play deep stack poker.

pokerJAH

so you play hand #1 differently if you are 400bb deep vs 250bb?? they shove for 350bb and you are going to fold? I don't think Villian plays this hand any differently if they hit a set; lucky for you I guess.

ReefAquarium

Umm I got 400bb in preflop with AA...

5 ways...

villian raises to $15 and you re-raise to $800 heads-up?? and you expect a call, wtf? Usually the multi-way hands with 400bb is when you get a semi-short stack re-raising all-in and then the domino effect kicks in. If you are the last domino standing with AA, count your blessings.

ReefAquarium

Nope I raise to $15 UTG, 2 callers , Villain1 reraises to 115, villain flat calls, villain 3 reraises to 255, villain 4 flats 255, I flat 255, villian1 reshoves, everyone calls.

Had an interesting hand yesterday,

3 limpers, AA on the CO , raise to $35,Button LAG flat calls,BB LAG flat calls, MP LAG flat calls...

Flop

224r

checked to me, I bet $100

button LAG flat calls
bb LAG flat calls
MP LAG checkraises to $300

I have 153 behind... everyone has me covered.
Pot is about $740.


I bet the $100 thinking i was committed to the pot... Now I'm pretty sure I'm behind... easy fold? Button lag has about 800 back, BB lag has about 50 behind. MP lag has about 400 back.
