God..plays like this give me tremendous variance...i was up more than two buy ins after a hour of play and then these hands came in span of 10 mins
#1) UTG, who is a very tight regular/set miner limps and i raise
in MP to 10$, SB who is also a multi tabling reg. that is not that good, 32/8/1.8, and has been making some akward plays vs me on other tables, calls my raise and so does UTG
I have 245$ and SB has me covered, while UTG has 212$
Pot 32$, Flop
Basically, my initial read is that UTG has a PP almost 100% of time here, while SB could have a range of hands(cant actually put him on any besides any SC, and two suited brodway or PP)
So its checked to me and I bet 26$. SB calls almost instantly, after like 000.5 sec and UTG folds
Pot 84$
Now, my read is that he is going to raise here a set on flop about 100% of time as well as 76s(only obvious two pair) because its 3 handed..Due to his fast call i felt he was weak, drawing or had a lower overpair. So i decide to bet 55$ since i have position and can check/fold river in position if river completes a flush. However, he instapushes and i need to call 150$ more...thoughts?
#2) Another QQ hand... I have
, its folded to me in MP and i raise it to 8$. BB who is a 16/6/3.3 calls my raise
Pot 17$, Flop
Basically, I know people will raise me light on flop because they think im betting them too often(in their mind). So BB checks i bet 14$ he raises to 38$ and I decide to push. I had no special read, the reraise felt a bit small, as if he wants me to slow down since board is quite draw heavy(note, at start he had 170$, i had FS)
#3) I have 220$ and villian has me covered. He is running at 47/6.3/2.2 with showdown of 60% over 70 hands. Villian is UTG and he limps, its folded to me in BB and I raise
to 10$. He calls
Pot 21$,[Ah]
. I bet 17$ and he just calls. So basically i have no read, he can have Ax Jx even 5x, and i guess he would raise any monster due to flush draw
Pot 55$ Turn
Basically now i have top two and im ready to go to felt with this hand vs this opponent. I bet 40$ and here comes dreaded miniraise to 80$...I insta push because Im behind only 1 likely hand, 55, since he woudl most likely raise JJ or AA
so Im praying here he has slowplayed AJ, AK, A5, or has QJ
thoughts?
