I played this hand yesterday - it's definitely one of the more sickening ones that I've played in a while:

reads on villian?

this looks like a pretty easy turn fold to an unknowns range here...

He was a good player, aware of position and stack sizes and we'd been tangling a bit on flops so far.

On the flop his range is really wide but 3betting sucks so I call.

The turn brings a decent 2nd barrel card for him (he can have a K in his range if he bluff-raised with Kx, I can't. Plus diamonds hit so he could try to rep that) and while I'm not super happy about it I think I'm ahead often enough to call, plus have a bunch of outs against a lot of his range (one pair hands, sets, straights, etc). Again raising sucks given stack sizes so I call.

The river is essentially one of the biggest bricks in the deck. When I check I feel like he's checking behind a few hands that had me beat on the turn which have showdown value and betting his medium-strong to very-strong hands, and his air/bluffs. I call with this reasoning. He ended up absolutely destroying me with the sickest range-merge I've probably ever played against. I'm not sure if he thinks he was trying to get me to fold JJ or if he thinks he was getting value out of a hand like that which I had. The truly ridiculous part is that he almost insta-bet the river.

Great way to start the month.

I deposit $2k to pacific. Within 10 minutes I get stacked playing 2/4 HU with 62s < Q9s on a 96649 board, 3bet pot, most of it in on the flop/turn.

Then I run KK into AA.
Then I run top pair into a set vs the same player.

So my balance is low again. I deposit another $2,200. Cool, let's play some more.

I play a $210 6max SNG and get HU, AIPF with AQ vs A8, he hits an 8. I won like $360. At the same time I lost a $210 HU SNG.

Literally 30 seconds later I get 78s at my 5/10 table and 3bet one of the only decent guys there. Flop is 567r and I bet like 1/2p he raises kinda small I shove. Of course he called my 3bet with 66, I miss.

SO TILTED.

Still, I see myself playing there a bunch over the next few days. The play is just way too soft not to.

What I would give in order to play at Pacific again.

I actually almost busto'd my account there again and had to make a third deposit, but am now up about $1k overall on the site and am loving it .
