Yeah, so the first hand I got shown Q9 offsuit and the second hand i was shown 48 offsuit. Something just didn't add up in either hand.
First hand, I rarely see re-minraises after an SB limps a big pp and BB raises. I typically associate that situation with a ridiculously strong flop check-raise. As per Fnords advice and my own laggy 6max style, when it folds to the SB and he limps, and i hold anything decent in the BB, i raise to 3bb to compound the opponent's error. This situation had occurred several times in the last several orbits so I was pretty sure the SB was putting on a play to counter my aggression while holding garbage. So, I thought and called the flop bet to make it seem like he could get me to fold, and I actually instacalled the push.
Second hand, no real reads here. Something about the flop texture, bet timing and sequence didnt add up so I decided to call down.
The hand today that I'm most proud of I actually lost.
There was a maniac at the table two places to my right who'd been raising every hand 3-4BBs. One place to my right there was a guy who I considered a solid, thinking player. Then I was dealt Ac7c on the button. The maniac minraised to 4, which seemed incredibly weak, so my plan was to reraise to 15. The thinking player actually did this in front of me. So I thought for a minute and concluded that he was doing this with a wide range that probably favored my A7, so I called. flop was Ah8s3s and he open pushed for ~135. This one I thought about for a really long time because I thought he could be doing this with AK/AQ to exploit the maniac's donkiness but I ended up calling and getting sucked out on by Js9s
