    OK time for a few hands. Havent done it in a while.

    First hand. Villain was only around for 11 hands so no major reads.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (7 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($4.30)
    MP1 ($1.85)
    Villain (MP2) ($8.25)
    CO ($8.30)
    Button ($11.70)
    SB ($3.35)
    Hero (BB) ($10)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with K, A
    2 folds, Villain calls $0.10, 2 folds, SB calls $0.05, Hero bets $0.40, Villain calls $0.30, 1 fold

    Flop: ($0.90) A, 6, 3 (2 players)
    Hero bets $0.80, Villain calls $0.80

    The timing of his call was very strange. I cant really describe it. Whatever it was, I felt very strong that he wasn't on a FD and I discounted this quite a bit.

    Turn: ($2.50) 8 (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.40, Villain calls $1.40

    Prob couldve bet $1.80 but I wanted to keep Ax in the hand. I'm still not really worried about FD's and I beat any single spade draw w/ my K


    River: ($5.30) J (2 players)
    Hero bets $1.90, Villain raises to $5.65 (All-In), Hero calls $3.75

    I just dint believe he had a flush.
    He must have thought I didnt have an A or he was turning his J's into a bluff. I just didnt like this line.

    Total pot: $16.60 | Rake: $0.80

    Results:
    Hero had K, A (one pair, Aces).
    Villain had J, Q (one pair, Jacks).
    Outcome: Hero won $15.80



    Next hand)
    Villain is 18/10/inf over 50. I hadnt seen a showdown from him yet but he seemed straightforward.


    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    MP2 ($38.35)
    Hero (CO) ($10.80)
    Button ($10)
    SB ($14.70)
    BB ($12.35)
    Villain (UTG) ($13.50)
    UTG+1 ($16.85)
    MP1 ($10.30)

    Preflop: Hero is CO with 4, 4
    Villain bets $0.50, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.50, Hero calls $0.50, 3 folds

    Not prob calling for set odds vs a player most likely playing a small well defined range.

    Flop: ($1.65) Q, Q, 4 (3 players)
    Villain bets $1, 1 fold, Hero raises to $3, 1 fold

    Uhhhh....I hit the jackpot, he cbets/valuebets and I reraise. I essentially rep a Q which is not what I want to do. The only likely hand he has that I am behind is AQ and there are many others that I beat so why did I reraise here? I prob shouldve called and seen what he did on the turn.

    Total pot: $3.65 | Rake: $0.15

    Results:
    Hero didn't show 4, 4.
    Outcome: Hero won $3.50

    Next:
    UTG 24/22/inf over 51 reads: raising fair bit in EP, not positionally aware. Raises lots preflop but doesn’t cbet much 20%<
    MP 52/10.2.5 note is that he c/r big hands on later streets.
    I think my hand is just enough to call in SB vs player who opens wide range
    UTG checked immediately (weak) and MP was a fish so I took his bet as a steal attempt. So I bluffed….I like it…
