Drew's Daily 1-1

[BankItDrew]

After every session that I play, I'm going to post two hands: One hand I won, and one hand that I lost. I'll try to pick hands that are more interesting than others / pot size. Here goes for today:

Hand 1

Villain is Bohlicioooous. I recently deleted my saved HH so I only have 47 hands on him. He's a reg that I've played with for a while but nothing about him stands out. This is the first time we've played HU together and this is the first decent size pot we've played today.

hand 1 - call, raise seems too thin and i think you're ahead too often to bother bluffing. You rep high card missed draw mankiness and he isn't taking showdown value -> you seem pretty good here. He has 55/KJ a lot
hand 2 - So you're bluffing? I don't like it cos people don't fold QQ much here.

oh, and i'm going to shamelessly rip off your idea in the bc

[aka_red]

1. your hand strength is pretty face up here. i'm guessing you only have bluff catchers when you take this line. so you decide what to do. but id tend to call here.
2. what do you think of his range here?

I ship because I don't feel he's the type to double barrel in this spot with missed hands. Besides, the pot will be $130 if I call.

[Micro2Macro]

i have this strange urge to donk bet kinda small in h2...

[StarGrinder]

H1 - IMO he's not triple-barreling here with many hands you beat. Maybe a lower pair. Or maybe I'm an idiot.

H2 - Agree with M2M, I actually like a donk bet.

[BankItDrew]

On last weeks hands, villain in hand 1 had K9 and villain in hand two called with Q9.

Today:

Hand 1:

Villain is WCGrider. Good reg. No significant stats.

[Lifer]

AK hand villain has a ton of 9x and not many Kx, only a few combos of pocket pairs (which he would sometimes 3bet pre). Can't see that being a winning shove, so i guess... check/fold? Seems super ridiculous but I doubt he'd turn 88 or TT into a bluff and like I said he can't have many Kx. Disclaimer is that I am fckking terrible at HU.

6c4c hand seems super standard vs some random with a short stack in BvB. He can call with tons of worse, you always have some -> good equity, he could fold a hand with equity, he doesn't have a boat that often since he didn't ship flop, TBH I don't think this is a very interesting hand. Only other option is to flat turn and it's pretty impossible to see how you will make that more +EV than shipping turn.

you do realize it's already a 3bet pot, right? assuming villain has even a semi-tight 3b flatting range it's really hard for him to have 9x here.


that being said I approve the way hero played both hands.

[Micro2Macro]

c/c the AK one..i guess

[BankItDrew]

c/c the AK one..i guess

Seems so nitty though considering there are no draws on the flop in this 3b pot. c/c because we think villain had a set this whole time?

Lifer, sorry, some hands will be very uninteresting.

how is c/c nitty? c/f is nitty. jam may be too thin. i was just thinking along the lines of balance and how you probably aren't firing 3 on this river all that often - but when you do check you are folding a really high % of the time. idk how crazy wcg is in turning hands into bluffs cuz even A2 has sd value vs all your air but it can't be bad given he'll have a bunch of ridiculous double float hands i would presume (like JhTh for example) that are just folding to a riv jam.

[BankItDrew]

how is c/c nitty?

I felt like he was floating like <5% of the time here, due to shit flop texture to do so. My thinking was this:
He called flop cbet because he hit the flop.
He called the turn bet because he paired the flop and doesn't think I have a king.
If I ship river, he won't think I have a nine because I bet turn so aggressively. He certainly won't think I have a king because the nine hit his range and not mine.
I think a nine is a very small part of either of our ranges in this 3bet pot and I was hoping he too would realize this.

Hand 1)

Vs a nit reg in a Button vs Blind. Flatting 4bet AQ oop no good?

h2 jam

[pocketfours]

Don't like pre in either hand.

[PapalRage]

pre seems bad against nit regs in both hands, especially the 66 OOP will be real hard to play correctly.

hand 1, check again i guess. a small bet might be ok but this spot depends a lot on his tendencies post.

hand 2, what are you trying to rep here?

[BankItDrew]

hand 2, what are you trying to rep here?

Hands that beat AK

[PapalRage]

Hands that beat AK

Its always hard to rep a range of just sets and a very weird AA.

[Deanglow]

Hand 1 I'd call pre because big blind is a fish. As played lead small
Hand 2 It probably worked because 1/2 regs are terrible but wtf preflop

my thoughts exactly, just didn't know how to put it. nh

[BankItDrew]

In one of these hands I was ahead when the action is on me with the '????', in the other, I was behind.

Hand 1:

No reads on villain but from the sample size and lack of info I suspect he's just a donk. UTG is a nit preflop reg.

Hand 2:

I don't usually call preflop in this spot but I did so because villain is a loose donk preflop.

[Vi-Zer0Skill]

1. UTG range looks like QQ/AA/77/TT/xxhh and SB still has to act. I'd think a fold is reasonable given UTG is a nit. on the other hand his c/shove looks very drawy. too bad you are drawing nearly dead to his value range

2. I guess I'd fold without any reads but I wouldn't like it at all. have u seen him 3bet the flop before?

[BankItDrew]

2. have u seen him 3bet the flop before?

I have no such reads
