I can't get my hand histories lately so this is all how I remember it.

I played a 2 hour session this morning on $.50/1.00 taking in $175. I want to show 2 key hands to try and explain why and how I've been on such a good streak + winning consistently.

I'm dealt 77 in LP. UTG raises to $3. I call and so does the BB.


FLOP $9.50
[6c][6s][2s]

BB and the UTG (preflop raiser) checks. UTG is fairly tight and might be slow playing but I figure I'll throw in a bet and try to win the pot. I bet $8.

BB raises to make it $14.(Prima obviously doesn't know how to do math with min. raises lol. I see this shit all the time.) UTG folds.

So this is an obvious fold right? Well damn right it's obvious...but this was my drawn-out thought process:

Ok..BB has been pretty loose lately calling raises with junk. He checked raised me the minuimun which shows extreme strength for most calling stations. He wants a call. Well..maybe he's on a flush draw though....but why would he only raise the minuium amount and not make it more to get me out? It's got to be a high pocket or a 6 for trips. Probably a 6.

So I fold. BB shows [6h][4h] to impress "sexypokerchic" who is sitting next to him. (sigh) The preflop raiser yells at him and the BB responds.."I call with this junk and take your stack's because you guys never fold."


Onto another table.

Dealt [Qc][Qs] in MP . Two limpers to me..I raise to $5. I get 2 callers ..villian is on the button acting after me.

FLOP $15
[7s][2h][3s]

First guy checks. I bet my standard $12 into a $15. Button raises me to $46. It's $34 for me to call...he has another $25 left.
Limper folds back to me. I have notes on this guy... Apparently he played a hand this session and slowplayed AA preflop to the river. My thoughtprocess:

Ok so he slowed played AA earlier all the way to the river. This flop is very weak and certainly he would slow play it again. AA or KK is probably not one of his holdings here. Ok..what about trips? Well...if he would slow play aces I have to think he would slow play trips as well. That is a monster raise....looks like he's trying to scare me off with a middle pair maybe or a flush draw? Openended with 45? Well...looks to me like a draw or a lower pair. I think I'm winning.

I put him all-in for another $25. He calls eventually and shows [9h][9s] on the river. He gets no help and I win a very nice pot. Then my internet disconnects so my session is over...:)

What do you guys think about my thought process here in these two hands? The first hand certianly isn't a monster decison...but I thought it was amazing how much stuff went through my head in a matter of seconds.
