An area of the game where I believe I am getting better. I think I played the following hand pretty well, if you disagree please comment as I'm not an expert.
Quickly about the hand, opponent was a very loose aggressive player. Given that I'd expect him to reraise QQ preflop every single time and sometimes the lower pockets as well, I figured that unless he was making a very thin value check raise with a queen (that I considered unlikely) then he was bluffing almost all of the time. I was planning to shove on ANY SINGLE TURN CARD. The queen was the dream card for me really, as my play looked exactly like queen x kicker. I may have got a hero call on a few other turns, but despite this I think shoving our entire range on the turn versus this type of villain is going to show higher expectation than folding to the second barrel.
Quick note... I was trying to find two other check raise pots that I thought were interesting, one I played well and one I totally butchered but I can't find them. I'll search them out tomorrow and finish this post then; my eyes are heavy and I need sleep!
To Be Continued...........
Welcome
Hello all, welcome to my online poker blog.
I've been playing on and off for a decade after being introduced by a friend.
I played regularly for a few years during the poker boom and had a decent record at the micros, particularly Rush and Zoom No Limit Hold'em games (here's one of my graphs).
Around 2012 I began a new career which involved immersing myself completely in study in my spare time, so I had little to no time for poker. However recently this burden has eased and so I have been gradually dipping back in.
I'm an amateur player who still hopes to some day beat the rake.
