Subject: NLH mlMix Match rounds 3-4
Playing 200 400 with 50 antes.
Played way too many hands last 2 rounds so decide to slow down.
We win one and lose one and the. Get moved from our table to a new table. Doesn't really matter. There's nothing but pros in the room and they all know each other and they know I'm the outsider. Beware the hooves.
Everyone folds to us in seat seven with an ace seven of hearts. We raise 1300 and get called by the small blind. The flop comes 23k. No hearts. He checks can we check. The turn comes king and he bets 500; we raise to 2200. He calls. The river comes the nine of hearts. He checks and we bet 4000. He folds. He may have had a worse nothing than we did.
We have AJ h in seat 3 and raise to 1100 and get 3 callers. Flop comes 38T w 2 hearts. Sweet. We bet 2200. Bb raises to 8000. Unless he has a set, we are in the lead. Even if he has a 10, any ace, Jack or heart, of which there are a total of 15, is a winner for us. We are assuming based on the previous play that he does not have pocket jacks queens kings or aces. We raise to 16,000 and he calls. Although we are in the lead, we do not have a made hand, this is still a good turn of events. Plus we are in position. Turn Comes Kc. Now a q is good too. He checks. If he doesn't have a K, we now have 18 winning cards in the deck. Push could win but he could be trapping w a set. Plus we only have the river left to his a winning card. We check and river comes 6d. Terrible. He bets and we fold. Big loss.
We slowly lose down to 35,000 in chips. A very aggressive player on the button raises to 1300 and we call from the small blind with pocket sevens. The big blind raises to 5200 and the button calls. It's 3900 to is. This only makes sense if we believe that we will make about 30,000 if we flop a 7. There's already over 10,000 in there, so we call. The flop comes six, seven, Jack. Fantastic that we got a seven. However, they are all diamonds. If another D comes on the turn or the river, we are dead. Also, none of the diamonds will pair the board, so they will not give us a full house. Perhaps even more unfortunately, we are in the small blind and must play before they do. So, we cannot wait to see what they do. If we check, and they check, they will get a free look to see if they get another time. With a pot of over 15,000, any real bet from us is the equivalent of an all in. So we bet 25,000. They both fold. I would love to have made more money on that pot but I am happy to pick up the 10,000.
We play a few more hands, but nothing big and we end the rounds with 47,000 chips. Not great, but we are still alive with almost 2/3 of what we started with.
On a sidenote, my current table has two people with bracelets and one who was the player of the year a few years back even though he did not want to bracelet. Not sure how that works.
More in a couple hours. And by more, I'm suggesting more chips.
