First Session

Well here we go , i m currently playing NL0.20 in Titan Poker , cash game 6-max 6 tables trying to play 2000 hands a day separated in 2 session of 2 hours each aprox. This is the report and analysis of some of the hands i think had a bigger impact on the session.

In this hand the villain is 9/7/4.2 in a 500+ hands sample so should have a pretty good idea where i m standing with him. Preflop my hand is most likely behind of his raising range especially him being UTG but oh well 2 high cards suited in position to the agressor and with some more players to call sounds a pretty good plan.On the flop he bets 1/2 of the pot which i think it was either a Cbet on a medium strength hand ( according to the board ) QQ JJ TT 99 88 or a hand like AK KQ which had me smashed still i decided to reraise has an attempt to probe his hand strength and also trying to get a free river card in case my hands improve in the turn. The turns come to help me and i could have checked but that would be kinda weak giving the case so after he checks i bet more than half of the pot which he quickly mini raises , the hell goes loose and by then i know i m crushed ... But hey ... TPNK and a 2nd nutflush draw, thanks for the odds i think to myself. The moment i see the river i feel like i ve been vasectomized and i never have to wear a condom again " uff at least i get a split vs AK " ... Well not quite ... he has the nuts , flopped quads. nothing i can do nice hand sir and lets move on. In retrospective one thing thats still tickling me is ... If i reraise flop to get a free river card on a hand i thought was crushed why the hell do i bet turn even with improvement ? He has a 31% Turn Cbet and 0% check raise so ... dumb dumb welcome to the wonderland!

This hand i isolate raise AJs with a bunch of limpers , the flop is kinda brutal giving me a gutshot + nutflush draw + overcard so i obviously bet , i have a caller OTB that is playing 17/6/1.2 and with a 79% Fold to Cbet so his call is kinda worrying atm. The turn reveals another queen and now i m really worried so i decided to check and thats cause that Q either hits him brutally or just improved the odds of me not having a Q , another factor that led to my check was the fact that i can call a value bet in this turn however if i bet and get reraised i loose all my calling odds and therefore end up putting more money into the pot and loosing an extra opportunity of completing my monster draw. A river blank shuts down my hand and i have to C/F.

Now this lad is a 46/0/3.7 uberagressive and apparently has no idea of the existence of the possibility of choosing the hands that he can/canot play. So he limps i raise pretty straight forward i could had raised more to juice up the pot but hell i didnt want him to get away so 4 blinds was enough. Post flop he bets significantly strong and i raise him for value due to the fact that he has a 75% donk bet and 0% fold to total check raise ( if he doesnt fold to a check raise a standard strong play in most cases why the hell would he fold to a 2,5 times raise ). A 4 on the turn doesnt sound like a card that would make his hand and still he bets. at this point i think " he prolly has a weaker hand like QJ/QT/Q9 ( or a mid pair that missed so i ll let him bet and shove river since his SPR was negative i thought that was he was going to do since he is SOOO agressive", and with a J on the river was exactly what happened. Kudos to me i gave myself a hug.

In this case my opponent is playing 77/46/2.2 ( Yeap his range is pretty much from a Holocaust jew kid with a limp leg that discovers that he has cancer while his puppy dog dies from being Hugh Heffner 40 years a go with a 5 hours erection standing in the middle of 7 uber hot virgins ).
I begin limping for pot odds he raise i have an extra player already coming along so why not... A K high flop gives me probably the best hand and the original raiser has a 89% Cbet and the 3rd LP caller has a 0% fold to Cbet so here i decide to sneak on them and check raise both OOP with my TPDK , he calls ... alright . A 2 on the turn gives no1 nothing and here instead of betting which would be a very strong play after check raising turn i just check with the intention of raising again his bet or in the worst chance C/C river if an apocalyptic card doesnt come , he checks aswell and the board boards on the river ( another 2 ) suddenly he bets 1/2 of the pot and now i wonder if my hand has enough SDV for a raise here or it would be better just to call , i choose door number 2 and he shows AJ.
