    Default 2 fun hands live with Rav

    Just going to bed after a really fun live 3-handed game vs my buddy Ravageur (from FTR) and a non ftr-er (solid player).

    Here is the basic table dynamic :

    My image is good 2nite. I'm not spewing (which I'm extremely prone to do) and I've had the goods at every showdown. To give you an idea of how lightly I get called, twice my boats have been paid off all in, once by Rav's ace high (AQ on a 10 10 5 4 2 board in a reraised pot vs my 44) and once by his 2nd pair on a J9433 board (Rav's A9 vs my 44 again). In Rav's defense, he would often be good in these spots, but 2nite I'm just running hot.

    On to the 1st hand (blinds of 1$-2$) :

    I raise 3.5bb with 67o from Btn. Rav is BB. Other player and Rav both call.

    Flop is Jd-6c-7c and pot is 21$. I bet 15, sb folds, Rav calls.

    Turn is Ad. Pot is now 51$. Rav leads (he only had 200$ to start hand as he had recently been stacked by my heater) for 35$. I think for a long time here (I won't mention my thoughts on the turn for now) and call.

    River is Qd. Pot is 121$ and Rav has 140$ ish behind. So board now reads Jd-6c-7c-Ad-Qd. If you've forgotten, I have 67o (suits irrelevant).

    Rav bets 100$.

    I....???


    Next hand is from Rav's perspective. Remember, I've only showed down the goods so far tonight and he's getting beat up. Usually when I make big bets.

    Non ftr-er raises from Btn to 10$ (at this point Rav is tilting and has switched the standard raise to 5bb preflop so everyone's doing it). Rav calls w 910o. Genitruc calls from BB.

    Flop is 10h-5c-7c.

    Rav checks, Genitruc bets 22$, btn folds, Rav calls.

    Turn is 10d. Board now reads 10h-5c-7c-10d. Pot is 72$.

    Rav checks, Genitruc bets 50$. Rav calls.

    Rivers is 2c. Board now reads 10h-5c-7c-10d-2c. Pot is 172$.

    Rav checks, Genitruc pushes and covers Rav (it'll be about 180$ for Rav to call).

    Your move if you hold 10-9 here in Rav's spot???

    1st one i fold

    2nd one, you seriously underrepped your hand. I think it's a call.

    No sense in waiting for more replies since these hands aren't hugely gross or anything, just standard tough spots.

    Both times the best hand folded (67 for bottom 2 folded to J2 in hand 1 and trip tens folded to stone-cold Kh6h bluff in hand 2).

    The interesting part was that both times the best hand was folded face up and bluffer was like "omg if I knew you had that I wouldn't have put a cent more in the pot lol"

    Kind of interesting ; shows the trouble you can get vs aggressive hand readers when you underrep your hands.
