To my immediate left is a complete spewtard. I have lousy position, but he's so bad that I think it is still a profitable (although high variance) place to sit. On his left is a decent player.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $2 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($187.35)
Button ($260)
SB ($250.90)
BB ($234.55)
UTG ($116.90)
Hero ($219.40)

Preflop: Hero is MP with Q, Q.
1 fold, Hero raises to $6, CO raises to $10, Button calls $10, 2 folds,

So spewtard's minraise at this stage means nothing, beyond the fact that he probably hasn't been inadvertently dealt the score card. If it had just been heads-up I would have called, and allowed him to spew all over me for the rest of the hand, but with the decent player cold-calling I decide to try and take it down, although I try and finesse it by raising enough that decent player will realise I have a genuine hand, but not enough to scare off spewtard.


Hero raises to $30, CO folds, Button calls $20.

Flop: ($73) 4, J, 8 (2 players)
Hero bets $45, Button calls $45.

Uh-oh. Spewtard folds and decent player calls. I'm having a hard time putting him on a hand. I can't believe he wouldn't have reraised preflop (particularly my 3-bet) with aa/kk, given the amount of money that was in the pot by then. Maybe T9s?

Turn: ($163) 3 (2 players)

I just want to get this hand over with now

Hero checks, Button bets $58,

Still T9s? Or JJ/88/AA/KK? Oh, screw it...

Hero raises to $144.4

Sooo...any comments would be appreciated.
