    Default Working on Agression

    I've been working on agression, so I've been playing around with 6max where it's supposed to punish the loose and agressive a bit less. To tell the truth, it's an amazingly different experience being the agressor vs being the caller trying to chase the odds. I've found that I push some chips around to get a bit of an image going, then I generally get at least one person who thinks I'm always playing crap cards and will call me with anything. They also often fold and just assume I have the nuts

    Anyway, thought I'd post this hand. I bet the flop to get information, since the table was pretty loose / limpy, then it just kept getting better, and ended with the guy bluffing vs my full house

    Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ Hero (6 max, 5 handed) converter

    UTG ($51.1)
    MP ($25.15)
    Button ($42.4)
    SB ($18.34)
    Hero ($23.5)

    Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, 9. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
    UTG calls $0.25, 2 folds, SB (poster) completes, Hero checks.

    Flop: ($0.75) K, A, 7 (3 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $1, UTG folds, SB calls $1.

    Turn: ($2.75) 9 (2 players)
    SB checks, Hero bets $3, SB calls $3.

    River: ($8.75) 9 (2 players)
    SB goes all-in, Hero calls $14.09.

    Final Pot: $22.84
    Main Pot: $22.84, between SB and Hero. > Pot won by Hero ($22.84).

    Results in white below:
    Hero has 7h 9d (full house, nines full of sevens).
    SB has Js Th (one pair, nines).
    Outcome: Hero wins $22.84.

    Thats a very nice hand and a nice outcome. Aside from the flop bet the hand plays itself. You bet again on the turn which is important with 2pair because its a hand you need to protect.

    What in the hell was he thinking calling your first 2 bets? I can only guess that he was dead set on a river bluff from the beginning.

    He who sleeps well cannot sin.
    He who does not sin goes to Heaven.
