Limit Histories 4/14/09

Went up 45, then dropped a $55 clunker.  I was pretty aggressive this session, but I thought it was controlled aggression.

Feel free to comment on one or two if you don't want to do all of them.

Hand 1:  Opponent seemed kind of loose, I know the river's loose.

Hand 2:  I didn't know anything about the sb, the cold caller in position was loose passive.

Hand 3:  Just tossing this one because it's one of the top losses

Hand 4:  Opponent is tight/passive.  He has a bit higher frequency this session in lp or a steal position.

Hand 5:  Position caller is a fish, I don't know anything about the sb.  I thought this was an obvious turn bet, since he could have anything in the blind.  This guy thinks he's so clever with his ace....

Hand 6:(48, 9.75, 1.13  )          I don't see what I beat here.

didn't watch them all but I think you have to bet turn on hand 1.  You just picked up extra outs and you don't have a strong enough hand just to call down.

agreed, I should have bet.  I was moving to fast.

Also, I hate the utg's playing.  77's allright for a raise, but his cap to drive the other player out is pointless at this level.  Then he just sits there sandwiched between two players, one who reraised him and the other cold calling in position.

I'm actually at 3 to 2 favorite against him on the flop.

I think you played the other hands just fine Duck.

The closest is probably hand 2 because the turn cr is player-dependent really and you don't have a read.  Versus someone who might cr the turn with a flush draw or A3/A4, or someone who might just bluff the 5, you can call down.  Without a read I probably call it down too.  You're only beating A3/A4 or a bluff on the river, but getting 10:1 you can't really fold at that point.

I was pretty sure this guy had me beat.  But I've had plenty of marginal situations in my downswing where I've folded on the river to a turn check-raise or even the turn, and I wanted to make sure there wasn't anything strange going on.  I could have folded  the river, I don't beat anything though.

Thanks for the comments guys.

 Last week in our live game (three handed) I was bored on the button and raised $10 with 72o and flopped 227..turn K (hope he's got trips) river 2.  I went right to number three on your string because I wanted to know what we all wonder about all poker opponents...how they lose the most!  My dial-up takes so long I usually just read the print on the first pass.  But No.3 and trips gave me baby seal flash-backs as to the prospect of not getting full value.  In our dumbass game I would have re-raised on the turn.  I owe you better data as yours has been both trenchant and impeccable but I am exhausted from my encounters with spell check!
