From what I’d seen at the $25 NL tables and from what’d I’d heard from HD<\/a>, I would have expected a little more tight playing at the $25 PL tables. I guess not:<\/p>\n

BB ($14.59)<\/b>

MP3 ($34.42)<\/font><\/b>
CO ($13.05)
Button ($48.65)<\/font><\/b>
SB ($27.75)<\/b><\/p>\n

Preflop:<\/b> 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.<\/p>\n

Flop:<\/b> ($3) As, 8s, Tc (6 players)<\/font>
SB checks, BB bets $0.5<\/font>, UTG calls $0.50, MP2 raises to $2<\/font>, MP3 calls $2, Button calls $2, SB folds, BB calls $1.50, UTG folds.<\/p>\n

Turn:<\/b> ($11.50) 7c (4 players)<\/font>
BB checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets $2<\/font>, Button raises to $16.95<\/font>, BB folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls $14.95.<\/p>\n

River:<\/b> ($45.40) Qs (2 players)<\/font>

Final Pot:<\/b> $75.34
Main Pot: $75.34, between MP3 and Button.<\/font> > Pot won by MP3 ($75.34).<\/p>\n

MP3 shows Ks Ts (flush, ace high).
Button shows 9s Js (flush, ace high).
Outcome: MP3 wins $75.34.<\/div>\n

I know, I know, MP3 had implied odds, but at some point that starts to sound more like a rationalization than rational play.<\/p>\n

Didn’t Izmet<\/a> say not to slowplay a set? My ass was somewhat at risk with this little manouever:<\/p>\n

Outcome: Hero wins $49. <\/div>\n

Okay, so I don’t think I actually did anything wrong. I had top set, the flop was rainbow, turn was a rag, and I took all his money in the end. But how much would it have sucked if the river had been a diamond, but not a board pair? Yeesh. Didn’t even see the flush. Not sure if I would have been as blind if I hadn’t made my boat.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I think I’ll go review some of the thoughts on “big bet poker with training wheels” over at The Cards Speak<\/a>.<\/p>\n

5:15 PM Update:<\/em> 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
