First Trip to Vegas
Good trip. Played pretty well after the first day. Won some money even after covering all trip expenses. Was pretty unimpressed with the local 2/5 grinders. Not sure what I expected, but they seemed to make a lot of the same mistakes people in my local games do. Enough of that, on to th... Read More →
Funny Hand V
May have to retire the series after seeing this one. Deep LAG 2/5 game. Player 1 has ~$1,400 (280BB), Player 2 (in SB) has him covered. Pre-flop: Two limps, HJ raises to $30, SB and both limpers call. Flop: 842ss, SB (Player 2) checks, limper checks, Player 1 bets $125, HJ fold... Read More →
Funny Hand IV
loose 2/5 game, most players are deep-stacked but SB and BB have slightly less than 100BBs. MP raises to 15, CO 3bets to 50, SB and BB both flat. It really doesn't matter how the hand played out. I just honestly don't think I've ever seen anyone overcall a 3bet OOP with a short-stackÂ... Read More →
Funny Hand III
The series continues...

Funny Hand II
Maybe this will be a series. LAG 2/5 game. Villain has ~180BB, everyone else has >300BB. Villain limps, I raise to $35 w QQ, BTN calls, BB calls, villain calls.  Four players to a flop of J82r. Check, check, I bet $100, BTN folds......and before the BB could fold the villain ... Read More →
Funny Hand
This isn't instructional in anyway, I just thought it was hysterical. From a 2/5 home game, effective stacks ~115BB, mostly loose-passive older players. I'm in BB w 22, 4 limpers, villain on button min-raises to $10 (seriously), everyone calls. Flop is 622, checked to villain who bets $2... Read More →
