Volatile NL Cash session at Hustler Casino -- Hand help welcome

lakong · 12-08-2008, 11:32 AM

I haven't played any poker in a few months and was really missing it so decided to head over to the Hustler on Friday night. The session was extremely volatile. I played the $5/5 $300-500 NL game. I think I may of been a bit too aggressive, at
least that was the opinion of most in the game. I received lots of 'I can't believe you called' type reactions. I would like your opinion of a few hands.

For the most part, things started off very standard. I wasn't dealt much, but the table was very passive for the first two hours I managed to double my stack without ever seeing a showdown. I played fairly tight, but would take down pots with ...

Hand 1: his range is weighted pretty heavily to 2p & sets. sucks to fold in this spot, but unless you think he does this with A10 or something, you can't really beat me. I might check the turn back for pot control since I doubt I'm a favorite if all the money goes in now.

Hand 2: given your read that at least one of these players is drawing, you're probably dead if either of them have spades. while the flop initially looked great for your hand, the info you picked up on should alter that perception.

Hand 3: barring a very creative/unusual player, limp reraising (even moreso live) is almost always AA or KK, maaaybe sometimes AK. sucks but I probably fold

Hand 4: I call this all day. Like you said he never shoves with AQ or a set. He most likely has AK (with and without hearts) or a combo draw (like J10s). While you're flipping against the hands with pair + fd or the combo draws, the decent chance he has naked AK makes this a pretty easy call for me.

Hand 1: *beat much...a kitten could easily beat me at poker

Hand 1: fold The only hand you're beating here is 99. Smells like a set.

Hand 2: Is it $350 to win $1500? BB is who pushed $600? Pretty sure SB has to have exactly suited overs for you not to be getting odds. I would have raised more than $250 on the flop anyways making it an easy call.

Hand 3: "aggressive asian player" Call and let his aggressive image bet the flop hard.

Hand 4: Fold preflop After flop tough. What's your read on the first bettor...tight? If he's likely to fold then I think I'm calling based on your description of a fishy button. He would do this with AK all day.
