The Good, the Bad, the Painful, and the Ugly

[MTPaid]

A few hands that I posted in my journal. Where were the mistakes? William Hill $1/$2 during bonus time. Very tight aggressive table.

The Good I got a little lucky on the end, but I'm pretty sure I played this hand perfectly.
----- HOLE CARDS -----
BB with [Tc]
2 folds, UTG+1 calls $1, MP1 calls $1, 1 fold, MP3 raises to $2, 3 folds, Hero calls $1, UTG+1 calls $1, MP1 calls $1.
Flop [7c][3c] (Pot 8.5 SB)
Hero checks, UTG+1 checks, MP1 checks, MP3 bets $1, Hero raises to $2, UTG+1 calls $2, MP1 folds, MP3 raises to $3, Hero raises to $4, UTG+1 calls $2, MP3 calls $1 (Damn flush draw can't take a hint that he's not wanted. I did everything I could.)
Turn (Pot 10.25 BB)
Hero checks, UTG+1 bets $2, MP3 folds, Hero calls $2. (Yep, but I'm now getting odds to draw to my boat.)
River (Pot 12.25 BB)
Hero bet $2, UTG+1 calls $2 (Gotcha sucka! That's what you get for calling a capped flop on a draw!)
Hero shows [Tc] for the full house.
UTG+1 shows [7s] for the flush.
Hero wins $17.25

The Bad I know the river call was probably a mistake. Does anyone fold sooner.
----- HOLE CARDS -----
CO with [Ad]
6 folds, Hero raises to $2, Button raises to $3, SB calls $2.50, BB folds, Hero calls $1
Flop [2d][3c] (10 SB in pot) (This became a pretty big pot for a steal attempt.)
SB checks, Hero bets $1, Button raises to $2, SB folds, Hero calls $1
Turn (7 BB in pot) (Now I have more outs so I'm not going anywhere.)
Hero checks, Button bets $2, Hero calls $2
River (9 BB in pot)
Hero checks, Button bets $2, Hero calls $2
Hero shows [8d] for a pair of 8's and a busted back-door flush draw.
Button shows [As] for a pair of Aces.
Hero loses $9

I guess he had a pretty damn good reason to isolate me. Both of these hands happened happened within the 1st 2 orbits after I sat down. I went completely card dead afterward to the point where my VP$IP in the session dropped under 10%. Just nothing until what seemed like an hour later.....

The Painful Does everyone here make this fold?
----- HOLE CARDS -----
Button with [Jc]
2 folds, brand new player UTG+2 raises to $2, MP1 w/ 11 VP$IP 5 PFR after almost 100 hands raises to $3, 3 folds, Hero.......Hero.......Hero......Hero......Hero cries and folds.
UTG+2 had [Ah]
MP1 had [Ks]

Now on my last hand UTG, I know that I am leaving as soon as the BB gets to me so obviously before I can get away.....

The UGLY What do you think/do after the turn check-raise?
----- HOLE CARDS -----
UTG with [Ac]
Hero raises to $2, 8 folds, BB calls $1 because it MUST be a steal when an extremely tight player with VP$IP under 15 and PFR under 6 after 160 hands raises.
Flop [Jc][As] (4.5 BB in pot)
BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB calls
Turn (3.25 BB in pot)
BB checks, Hero bets $1, BB check-raises to $2, Hero's action below





























Hero calls $2
River (7.25 BB in pot)
BB bets last $1.50, Hero calls $1.50
F'in imbecile shows [8s] for 2 pair Jacks and 8's.
Hero shows F'ed for pair of Aces.
Hero loses $8.50

If it looks like suckouts and feels like pain...it must be LHE!

Hand 1: Seems fine(except for the PF call which I don't think I am making), although i'm thinking the flop contains the instead of the . Otherwise I call shenanigans.

Hand 2: Standard to me...some might actually CR the turn, but I like your line. Villian is on the button, no reason to think he might have such a huge hand.

Hand 3: You had position! RAISE, RAISE, RAISE!!! Oh wait a second...sorry, that is an auto fold. Got confused...

Hand 4: 3-bet his ass on the turn! And check the river if no improvement.

I will now remind myself to not play William Hill during the bonus time. Wait until the middle of the month, then clear it.

of course. (edited to finally get it right)

I tended to think that I would be able to steal some blinds, play break-even poker and come away with the bonus early in the month. Mostly solid and very aggressive though. Of course I run into the one donk at the table that hits.
