LOL donkaments and progress update
So I played in the Party Sunday Million as I occasionally do. I must say I could write a script for how every one of those tournaments go. Here's the road map:1. Chip up early by busting some donk who can't get off of TPNK.
2. Hold steady for a while by getting card dead and watching as the blinds get higher and higher.
3. Steal some blinds and stay alive til the bubble
4. On the bubble after nearly 4 hours of play, get all in preflop with a dominating hand and lose.
5. Rinse and repeat.
#4 this Sunday was AK downed by AJ. As the saying goes, "LOL donkaments"
So on to something a bit more meaningful. Had a decent recovery this weekend for my pathetic month. Last night the tables were sooo juicy but I couldn't seem to put anything together. I bled down about 4 buyins via 1 two outer, twice pushing strong hands on the river when some donk checked the nuts to me, and some other stuff. Somehow I worked my way back up to a paltry +$300 after 2,000 hands...barely getting my head above water.
My graph is pretty ridiculous. Yay variance (click to enlarge):
So since Jay linked my blog on 3-bet.net I should probably add a bit more poker content to this site, so here are two hands from last night that I thought were good/interesting/non-standard. Both are against solid regulars at the 3/6 game.
In the first hand, I decide to play my hand like a draw since he likely doesn't have a hand that can stand much heat and perhaps I can rep a busted draw. Of course standard line is to raise the flop. (pot/bet sizes approximate as I dont have the HH in front of me)
Villain opens from MP, 20/15 or so TAG. I've got two lagtards in the blinds who love to squeeze. I try to induce a squeeze by smooth calling KK on the button, they don't comply. HU pot.
Flop ($45) K
5
8Villain bets $40, I call.
Turn ($125) 2
(Villain will fire twice with air here a decent amount as the flop is pretty drawy, so might as well let him)
Villain bets $80, I call.
River ($285) 7
Villain checks to induce a bluff, I comply by quickly betting $250. He runs his timer down to 1 and calls. KQo no goot, son.
In the second hand villain's line doesn't make much sense, so I raise. He's either got the nuts or nothing, and it's usually nothing. Villain is also decent TAG/sLAGish that likes to raise a decent amount pre... something like 25/17 or so.
He opens UTG, I call with 33, BB calls.
Flop ($75) K
2 2BB checks, Villain checks, I bet $50, BB folds, Villain calls.
Turn ($175) 7o
Villain leads for $100, I make it $300 straight, he folds.
The plan for Tues/Wed is to play solid and build up some padding for Thursday when I'll be taking my shot at 5/10nl with Jay in my corner.
Wish me luck,
Aaron
