Playing 150-300. They haven't replaced Mr. Bag yet so we are 8-handed.
We raise to 725 with QK in seat 5. Bracelet in seat 6 raises to 1525. We call and the flop comes AA2 with 2 clubs. We check and he bets 2000. We should fold, but if he had an ace he would have checked and let us bet the turn. We are pretty aggressive and he would let us see the turn and bluff into him. He doesn't have an ace. He has a pair of some sort. We raise to 4750. The problem here is that if he calls, we are out of position and can't bet the turn into him very well. Doesn't matter though. He folds. Giddey-up. Picked up about 4000 on that busted hand.
Seat 5 limps and button and sb limp. We limp in bb with 58h and flop comes 77J. Everyone checks to button who bets 600. We raise to 1800 in a stab. He calls. Hmmm. Turn comes 8. At least we have something but he likely has a J. We bet 2500 hoping he will let go but he's like a pit bull and keeps calling. River is a 5. Pairs us but that's no good as we already have 2 pair. We check and he bets 5000. We fold. Ouch.
Now playing 9-handed. Mr Bags seat was taken and we now have 3 women at the table, somewhat of an anomaly.
Seat 4 (Pete) raises to 725 and we call in seat 5 with AJ. Flop comes 24Q with 2 clubs and he bets 1050. We fold.
Next hand we raise to 750 with AT from seat 4 and get called by seat 7. Flop comes 5JK. No good. But she doesn't know that. Shes a very aggressive player. We bet 1025 and she folds. Good result.
Seat 8 raises to 700 and everyone folds to us in the bb. We have A6. We think he is stealing so we raise to 2300 and he folds. Great.
Next hand everyone folds to Pete on the button who bets 700. We are in the sb with AT and raise to 2300 again. He thinks and then folds. Pete's a fun guy, so we show our cards. He grabs his mucked cards and shows AT.
Seat 6 bets 600. Pete calls, we call from seat 8 with A9c and bb calls. Flop comes 44T with one club. Bb bets 1200 and Pete raises to something more. We fold.
Seat 3, the only fish at the table, limps. Pete raises to 1200 and we have 56d in seat 5. Would love to see a flop but too many people are after us, including the limping fish. We fold. We see the Flop; it would have sucked for us anyway.
Seat 8 we raise to 725 with A4d. Bb raises to 1700. She's the most aggressive bettor at the table. We call because if we hit against her we will make bank. Flop comes 77J with one diamond and she bets 2000. We fold.
We raise to 725 in seat 5 with KTh and bracelet raises to 2000 in seat 7. We call and flop comes 2JK with 2 spades. We check and he bets 3000. We call. Turn comes 9s putting a flush and straight on the board. We check and he checks. River comes 4h. We bet 4500 and he calls showing K4d. He rivered the 4 to win. Big pot. Shit. Lost 9500 on that. That's going to be frustrating for a while. We were a 93% favorite after the turn.
Seat 8 raises to 700 and sb calls. We call with 46d from bb and flop comes 57Q - all spades. Pete bets 1025 from the sb. He's very aggressive and his bet means little. We call with our open ended straight draw, which likely has 6 outs as a spade probably is no good. Turn comes Th and he bets 2000. We fold.
We are down to about 38000 in chips.
An argument now ensues at the table over whether the player to my left called out her raise before her chip hit the table. If she did its a raise; if she doesn't it's a call. Bracelet is basically frothing at the mouth over what is a pretty minimal call. Pretty soon the news cameras are on us and there's a boom stick hovering over bracelet who continues to disparage the dealer after the floor makes the call. A few of the players tell him to stop, but he continues saying that bad dealers are bad for poker. To which Pete comments that players complaining like bracelet are bad for poker. It ends but the cameras and boom stick remain for a bit.
Pete raises to 950 in seat 6 and we flat call from 7 with AKc. Normally a raising hand, but let's see if we can hit and get some action. The blinds both call and we see a 652 flop with one club. The blinds check and Pete bets 3000. He's been betting large into Potts for a while so not sure what this means. We call hunting for a pair and hoping Pete is on non-pair high cards. The blinds fold. The turn comes 7d and Pete checks. We consider bluffing but we can't withstand a check raise so we check and hope for the pair on the river. River pairs the 7 on the board. That didn't help anyone but Pete bets 8000. What does he have? The check on the turn means he shouldn't have a mid pair. He would have chased me out before an ace or king or queen rivered. He could have AA or KK. We call and he says good call and turns over AJ. There's a gasp at the table as we show AK to take it down. Pete just laughs and comments that he wishes the cameras were still there.
We raise from seat 3 to 725 with AA and get calls from seat 6 and the bb. The two most aggressive people at the table. Flop comes 5QK all clubs. We have the Ac. Bb checks and we check looking for seat 6 to bet. She checks and the turn comes Ts. Bb checks and we bet 1500. They both fold.
Seat 7 limps and we raise to 900 from the button with AK. Bb and seat 7 call. Flop comes 469. They check and we check looking for a pair. We could bet, but the bb (bracelet) is the type to check raise and we would like to see the turn. Turn comes 8 and bb bets 2500. Everyone folds.
Everyone folds to us and we min-raise to 600 on the button with 36d. Bracelet calls from the bb and flop comes 499 with one diamond. He checks. We bet 600 and he folds.
Next hand we raise to 725 from seat 8 with 55 and the bracelet calls from the sb. Flop comes 4QA with 2 hearts. He checks and we bet 775. He raises to 2000. As mentioned before, he is liable to check raise. We fold.
We end round 3 and head to dinner with 51100 in chips. Pete is joining us at martarano.
All the best,
Feeling smooth donkey
