Hands... touching hands...
Had a bunch of interesting hands from last night and I thought I'd spam my blog with some of them. They will start off fairly simple and will eventually crescendo into an orgy of poker entertainment.
Green text! Oh yes!
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (9 handed)
Button (t1500)
SB (t1500)
BB (t1500)
UTG (t1500)
UTG+1 (t1500)
MP1 (t1500)
Hero (t1500)
MP3 (t1500)
CO (t1500)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Kc, Ac.
3 folds, Hero raises to t60, 1 fold, CO calls t60, 2 folds, BB calls t40.
Flop: (t190) 9h, Jh, Kh (3 players)
BB bets t160, Hero folds, CO folds.
Final Pot: t350
First hand involves my new least favorite hand, AK. I've been experimenting with this hand a lot lately, trying different methods of playing it. As I said, nothing overly interesting other than I think most people would at least call here. I have no read on the BB here and no matter what he is betting into me, unless the turn is a complete blank I'll be lost in the hand. So I just cut my losses early and fold. Easy money baby.

SB bets t380, Hero calls t380.
Final Pot: t1220
Ok so I'm a stupid moron and limp AA UTG. I do this like 1% of the time just to show regulars that its in my arsenal. Now, usually when someone bets out on a XXY flop, they have the Y or some sort of draw. So in this case, with AA, I'm either way ahead or way behind. No value in raising here other than to possibly shut out draws, but he really seems to like his hand. On the river I think I probably have to call since I've severely underrepresented my hand but I don't figure to be ahead here very often. Oh yea he had T8 here. GG me.

What you say? Just call that 60? NO! FUCK YOU! Smooth call on the flop is almost always either a 5 or a diamond draw. Both beat me on this river. I felt kind of stupid for not calling for a bit untill he flashed me his hand:
queculin: shows [5h 5s] (four of a kind, Fives)
LOL TO RESULTS ORIENTED THINKING!
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (7 handed)

Flop: (t975) 9c, 4s, 2d (2 players)
BB bets t790 (All-In), Hero calls t790.
This hand sucks. The BB here is a regular multitabler and is probably just doing a fucking stop&go with a pair. I really didn't want to call here. Sure enough he had 55 and I never improved. Eat shit. I still think this is a call. Apparently I can only make good laydowns when 60 chips are at stake.

Final Pot: t2550
Do the math. BB has 960 to start the hand. After posting the BB and the ante he has 110 left. The pot is 1750. I know you are supposed to be tight on the bubble but this is hilarious. And yes these are $114 opponents.
*Disclaimer* This next hand is stupid. It is not meant to be an example of how to play. It is played in a donkey manner due to the extreme guppyness of the opponents involved.

BB checks, Hero checks.
River: (t2390) 8h (3 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.
Final Pot: t2390
Ridiculous. I tried my hardest to tell them I had aces. I made so many retarded moves this hand including smooth calling a tiny raise with AA, and then min raising a raise with them again. So please try to ignore its uglyness, and enjoy its hilarity. I knew when the BB reraised that I got bailed out, since the SB is a regular and I knew wouldn't call a reraise by me. I just wanted heads up vs the horrid BB. But then the board keeps getting uglier and uglier that I'm forced to check it. How can I be ahead?
BB has 4h 4d (two pair, jacks and fours).
Hero has Ad Ac (two pair, aces and jacks).
Outcome: Hero wins t2390.
These are the types of hands that amuse me now. The more subtle the better.
