We are playing 250-500 with 50 antes 9-handed, so there's 1200 in the pot before cards. Several players at the table have 10000 - 20000 in chips so we can expect them to push more aggressively early. That 1200 score means a lot to them.
Hand 1 38c. Discard.
Hand 2 K3. Discard.
Hand 3 25. Discard.
Hand 4 bb seat 8 raises to 1200 and we have TT. He's probably stealing and we could raise him out but we can't sustain a re-raise so let's see the flop. We call and flop comes 48K. Don't like the K but even if he wasn't stealing, there's a good chance that missed him. We bet 2400 and he calls. Turn comes 4 pairing the board. Great. That shouldn't help him but may scare him a little bc we are in the blind and more likely to have a 4. We bet 5600 and he calls. Not good. River is a 9. If the K hit him he will call almost any bet here and if it didn't he will likely fold. We just check. He shows QKd to take it down.
Damn it. Wasn't looking to lose the first played pot. But, well, that does happen.
Next bb. Sam guy raises to 1200 and we call with 69d. Flop comes 46K with 2 clubs and a diamond. This is eerily familiar. We bet 1500 and he calls. Turn comes Js. Not a good card. We check and he bets 3000. We tank for a bit and then call with some hope, which are largely dashed when the 8c hits. We could bluff, but he won't fold a K or a flush. We check. He bets 7500 and we fold.
Next hand short stack in seat 5 raises to 1200 and short stack in 6 calls. We have ATh in the sb. Would love to push them out but there's too much chance we get called by an AJ. We call and flop comes JK5. Terrible. We check, 5 checks and 6 bets 3100. We fold.
We have just under 82000 chips left. Down almost 20k for the first 45 minutes. Slow and steady?
Seat 4 raises to 1200 and we have AJ in seat 5. Too many raisers and too many all in possibilities behind us. We fold. Too conservative?
We are 30 hands and 63 minutes in and haven't won a single chip. Hmmm.
Same guy, who we will refer to as Lando as he seems from his attire to be very proud of being from Orlando, raises to 1200 and we call from the bb with 35d to see the 27J flop. We check he bets we fold.
We fold our 28 in the sb and continue looking for a change, any change, in direction. We muck hand after hand. Luckily we have enough chips to suffer through the blinds and antes but this is frustrating.
In seat 8 we lead out for the first time today to 1200 with 36d and the bb calls. Flop comes 48A. He checks and we bet 1500. He folds. Tiny pot but fuck yeah.
Seat 6 raises to 1200 and we call from 7 with 89d. Short stack in 8 bets half his stack, 4600. Seat 6 raises to 9500 and we fold. We would have called a call. They go all in and show AQs and KK. My 89 would have beat the AQ but still a good fold.
In seat 5 we raise to 1200 with AK and everyone folds to Lando who tanks for a bit and then folds. Fine. We have 81,800.
I will note here that Lando has, whenever called down, shown the goods. He looks like he's bluffing but he's hitting crazy hands. He has folded one but otherwise won every hand he's entered.
Seat 4 raises to 1300 and we call from seat 8 with J9h. Bb calls and flop comes 4TK. Feels like there's been a K on every board we have played. Bb checks and seat 4 bets 3500. We fold.
We raise to 1200 from seat 6 with 44 and everyone folds. Good result.
Seat 5 raises to 1200 and we call from the bb with 9T. Flop comes 68T all clubs. We have top pair and a gut shot straight draw but no clubs. Don't really want to see another card. We bet 1400 and he calls. Turn comes 8d pairing the board. He could have a big club, two over cards? Prob doesn't have an 8. We bet 3200 and he calls. River comes rag 2d. If he has 2 overcards he will call if he thinks we are bluffing. It would be a big call though. If he had an overpair he would have raised the flop or the turn to prevent us from flushing or straightening. We bet 5500 and he goes into the tank and then calls with AT to take it down. Shit! We are down to 66000.
In seat 8 we bet 1250 with QK and the bb calls. Flop comes AA7. He checks and we check, like we would if we had an ace. Turn comes Q. He bets 1700 and we raise to 4200. He calls. Hmmm, not good. Hopefully he has a weak Q. River comes J and he checks. The J is irrelevant unless he has JJ or TK, but if we bet and he raises we have to find. We check and he shows A4 to take it down. WTF.
Terrible round 6. We end down at 60000 in chips. Going to try to refocus now but first fuckety fuck fuck!!!
All the best,
