Pot limit adventures
From what I'd seen at the $25 NL tables and from what'd I'd heard from HD, I would have expected a little more tight playing at the $25 PL tables. I guess not:
saw flop|saw showdown
BB ($14.59)
UTG ($7.85)
UTG+1 ($23.75)
Hero ($26.50)
MP1 ($23.65)
MP2 ($23)
MP3 ($34.42)
CO ($13.05)
Button ($48.65)
SB ($27.75)
Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with Ac, 7h.
UTG calls $0.50, UTG+1 folds, Hero folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.50, MP3 calls $0.50, CO folds, Button calls $0.50, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: ($3) As, 8s, Tc (6 players)
SB checks, BB bets $0.5, UTG calls $0.50, MP2 raises to $2, MP3 calls $2, Button calls $2, SB folds, BB calls $1.50, UTG folds.
Turn: ($11.50) 7c (4 players)
BB checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets $2, Button raises to $16.95, BB folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $14.95.
River: ($45.40) Qs (2 players)
MP3 bets $14.97 (All-In), Button calls $14.97.
Final Pot: $75.34
Main Pot: $75.34, between MP3 and Button. > Pot won by MP3 ($75.34).
MP3 shows Ks Ts (flush, ace high).
Button shows 9s Js (flush, ace high).
Outcome: MP3 wins $75.34.

Didn't Izmet say not to slowplay a set? My ass was somewhat at risk with this little manouever:
saw flop|saw showdown
MP3 ($11.09)
CO ($4.85)
Button ($22.75)
Hero ($25.50)
BB ($22.40)
UTG ($75.59)
UTG+1 ($13.05)
MP1 ($14.63)
MP2 ($26.25)
Preflop: Hero is SB with Qh, Qs.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO raises to $1.75, Button calls $1.75, Hero calls $1.50, BB calls $1.25.
Flop: ($7) 6c, Qd, Js (4 players)
Hero checks, BB checks, CO checks, Button bets $4, Hero calls $4, BB folds, CO folds.
Turn: ($15) 3d (2 players)
Hero bets $5, Button calls $5.
River: ($25) Jd (2 players)
Hero bets $12, Button calls $12 (All-In).
Final Pot: $49
Main Pot: $49, between Button and Hero. > Pot won by Hero ($49).
Hero shows Qh Qs (full house, queens full of jacks).
Button shows Kd Ad (flush, ace high).
Outcome: Hero wins $49.
Anyway, I think I'll go review some of the thoughts on "big bet poker with training wheels" over at The Cards Speak.
5:15 PM Update: the same guy whose flush lost to my boat just lost another big pot. The card that made his nut flush on the river made someone else's boat. In both cases, this guy was beat from the flop, but kept fishing for his hand, got it, and lost. There's a lesson in there somewhere.
