#2 Hand analysis

Lets get busy ! Hands from the last 3 days of grinding.

In this hand i m up against the most active loose aggressive player i ever met , he is constantly ramming people away from pots . His stats r ( over 90 mns playing with him 6 max ) 57/41/3.6 with a 76% Flop Cbet 12% 3bet and only 36% Fold to 3bet. So i get AQs on the SB and raise to a standart 4 blinds , he raises be about 2,5 times and i 4bet him to 3+ times his 3bet, he calls. The flop comes K24 with 2 hearts well by now he is either putting me on AA KK AK or QQ , i had 2 options here either to check and quit the hand or shove cause in my opinion doing a 2/3s 1/2 bet in here is just donkish ... Lets see why. I have 12 behind the pot is already 12+ so i come out betting 6 or 8 for value with A high ? he might call me with something as low as KQ ( which i doubt he has ) the turn comes a blank or any figure card or even 9/T i fold with 4 behind ? Nah ... So in my humble point of view the only real choice here is shove , the check shove is the most absurd option ever cause given his huge aggression he might bet 99/TT/JJ//KQ and be compelled to call when i shove due to pot commitment. He ended up saying " AQ no good i guess " so i guess the most aggressive player took the hand down.

I came to this hand with basically no info what so ever on anyone . I pick up KK OTB , the UTG raises 3 blinds and the shortstack to his left shoves right away , the hijack folds and now i have a choice to make , either i 4bet or just call for extra value ( i was seriously waiting that both blinds fold and the original raiser shoves/calls ) , well that did happen and he calls , i get a 25T generic flop the best i can get pretty much and he checks . The board isnt THAT perfect so i fire a 2/3 value bet cause atm all i can put the UTG raiser is either 2 big cards or a premium pair . He calls ... The turn reveals a 5 of spades that prolly doesnt help anyway , he checks again and i shove again for value. he calls on a dreadful A5 with the A of spades , river no spade " uff winkle winkle ".

Now this hand is at least weird for me to post it ... I didnt won but i still enjoyed the showdown like i did. This whole table is really tight with 1 exception ... And the villain is a 15/8/1.4 ( weak rock in my opinion ) He limps UTG and i raise OTB with AKos 4 blinds ( yeap i could raised a bit more but i didnt sue me ! ) . Flop comes Q47 with 2 diamonds , he checks , i check aswell cause something is just not feeling right in here ( i bet to a check like 90% of the time on this board ). The turn shows probably the best card i could have got by then , a K of diamonds that gives me TPTK and nutflush draw , he bets the pot and i just call ( Yeah most people raise in this spot for info or even for value but i felt i was so behind i didnt ). River hits a meaningless trey of clubs and he goes to value town , i know i m beat but i still call just to confirm my read for a set or 4/7s and voila i was right . I just ended up saving a loooot of money on this hand and usualy i end up shoving this hand on the river and lose , so i was quite happy with the outcome i showed some discipline ( except for the river call ofc ) .

Again against a medium skilled opponent 24/16/9.0 , interesting fact is that his Flop Cbet is 0% ... yeap 0% however he check raises 63% of the time and has a 59% turn Cbet. I pick 44 in the hijack and i limp ( which i rarely do with small PPs i prefer to bulk the pot normally ) because this tables average 3bet value is just insane and here i prefer to call a isolation raise and a possible 3rd player 3 bet and go multiway with as a 3bet caller then raising and end up folding due to poor implied odds. The SB raise 5 blinds and i call , now the flop is T2Q rainbow , he checks and i check aswell with the intention of getting an extra bet on later streets or call to a showdown as a bluffcatcher ( depending on the outcome of later streets ofc ). The turn is a 6 he bets 2/3s of the pot and i reraise a bit more than 2 times his previous bet, he ends up folding. I just showed this as an example of how to counter some less orthodox players and their weird plays. Sometimes all u need is a little imagination !

Now this is the perfect example of the cooler hand where nothing can stop u from getting the opponents full stack. The context of the hand on the other hand is dubious cause both me and the villain have a lot of history from previous sessions. He is the typical weak rock that shoves sure hands and is so tight that ends up being exploited like a chinese hooker. I raise bullets on the hijack seat and he raises me 4 times ( i think to myself hummm time 2 ship it ! ) i smooth call to trap him. Flop comes Q high and i check , he bets virtually the pot , i once again just call him cause at this point if i shove he might fold AK AQ or JJ and if he has one of those i want an extra bet out of him. On the turn we see a T of diamonds that completes a draw that doesnt scare me at all ( i have the A of diamonds so he cant have AKd the Qd is on the board and JJ with the jack of diamonds might call a shove on the river if the K or another diamond comes ). The river doubles a 7 and i simulate i m going to the tank and shove before the time expires ( he caught me a day earlier bluffing a busted monster draw ) he also thinks and calls with KK ( with the K of diamonds ). Hell yeah ! Ship it ! U all asking now " Hey AA vs KK ? Big deal shove preflop and get the same result! " ... Well kinda true but if he had AK AQ JJ TT ( with his 5% 3bet thats all he reraises preflop to be honest ) we might get an extra 1/2 extra bets out of him with the smooth call preflop. Always good to play the same hand different ways to polarize ranges and patterns.


Well by the time u guys read this u all think ( WTF all he plays is premiums ? ) , i do have to play tighter in this limits i was loosing way to much money by expanding my range and aggression and most times the pots r 3/4 way in 6 max ( Yeah sick like hell ! Callstation land ! ) so there isnt that much space for being ubercreative. I ll try my best in the future to provide some wicked hands.

With my best regards Kurya.
