Message: [QUOTE="Matt Vaughan, post: 2348857, member: 34747"] What an insane few days... I went to the casino tonight and played 1/2 for about 6 hours. I was in for $300, and cashed out $715, for a $415 profit. My stack peaked at about $850 at one point, and swung from there all the way back down to $500ish, until I settled back at the final $700ish. My bankroll is sitting at a healthy $5,900 (at this point, it's pretty much by FAR the highest it's ever been), which I'm still a bit in shock over. I'm trying not to get attached to that number though, because I realize that a lot of that has to do with recent run good, and it's easy to go on a downswing, etc etc. But I'm still proud of my play and pleased with my recent success. With all that out of the way, I want to discuss a few hands. There weren't too many super interesting spots in my session from the other day, but I'll post a hand or two from there first before I get into the meat of tonight's session, which I'll do after I go to sleep. [B]Preflop[/B]: :3h4: :3d4: In MP, I flat a $12 raise from a tightish, but aggressive player UTG. We go HU to the flop. [B]Flop: ($20) :kh4: :4d4: :4h4: (2 players)[/B] Villain bets $12, and I call. His betting range here is essentially his entire preflop range, and I expect to be able to take the pot away a lot on later streets. [B]Turn: ($45) :ah4: (2 players)[/B] Villain bets the same $12, and seeing as this is a scare card to almost his entire range, and my range is fairly uncapped here, I opt to raise to $45, hoping to fold out most Kx, along with any PP's QQ and lower. He snap calls though. I put him mostly on monsters and pair + Qh type hands. [B]River: ($135) :2c4: (2 players)[/B] Villain quickly leads out for $85. Now I put him almost exclusively on turned flushes, since his sizing indicates solid hand strength. Either way, we only have about $100 effective behind the $85 bet, so it's not like I can make any more moves at the pot. I fold. [spoiler]Villain shows the Qh. I ask him why he is showing, and he says he's being nice to me, since we've played together before, and so on.[/spoiler] Next we have an exercise in hand-reading. My hand is not given, nor is villain's. Let me know what you think villain has after each decision point, and whether you like my line with air, with value, or a semi-balanced range (should have some of both). Another thing to consider is what you think a good preflop range is in this spot, and what our plan is for different postflop board textures. [B]Preflop[/B]: X X On the button, facing an UTG raise from a somewhat weak-tight player to $10, along with two calls. I call. The blinds fold. [B]Flop: ($35) :7h4: :7s4: :5s4: (4 players)[/B] Checks around to me and I bet $20. UTG calls. [B]Turn: ($75) :4c4: (2 players)[/B] UTG checks, and I bet $45. UTG tanks for a while before calling. [B]River: ($165) :8s4: (2 players)[/B] UTG checks, and I bet $75. Villain snap folds. Let me know what you guys think. I'm going to head to bed, and when I get up I'll post some of my hands from tonight's session. [/QUOTE]
