so after cashing in my 4000 chips for 25 beans on carbone...i played to quick sessions of nlh .02/.04 cash(4$ table max)...and i did pretty well, first session i got TT in the BB, the cutoff seat min raises and the button reraises to .24 cents...i smooth call, and so does the cutoff...
flop 8 9 3 rainbow...i felt pretty good about that flop so my plan was to check raise any bet...the button follows through with a pot size bet, about .75...so i sit there and reraise to 2.25...cutoff folds and the button thinks about it and shoves on me...so i think about it for about 5 seconds and say to myself, at best he's got TJ...so i get em in, and he has Js8s, he defended with middle pair...turn is the 2 of spades putting two spades on board and giving him even more outs...but luckily this wasn't full tilt, and the river came 2 of heart...doubled up in my third hand at the table...sweet
my second session, there was a 3 bet on my big blind of Ad4d...guy that raised was UTG...so i fig he had a good hand and wasn't planning on playing until, EVERYONE at the table smooth called, i say to myself, well i gotta call to hit trips or diamonds...flop comes down Jd 5c 3d...great a double draw, i check, original raiser bets .70 cents/all in...3 more callers...WTF i smooth call again, turn is a 6 of hearts, i check...middle position bets .50 into a pot of nearly $3...another smooth caller...river Ace of spades...i check again, check check...original raiser had TT, guy in mid position behind him had K6 of diamonds, and late position had QJ suited of clubs...so i take down a 4 dollar pot with Ace weak...i think it was a bad play but i was getting great odds, and no one was betting like they had a big hand...
another nice pot i took was a nice post oak bluff on the river.
I get Q9 offsuit, and i raise in late position to about .20, Big blind defends and calls...flop comes down Jh 7c 8h...guy insta bets pot...i sit there and say to myself..."he doesnt have a heart thats for sure, so i float on him with the intentions that if any card for the straight hits or a heart, im gonna put a move on him...next card off is an ace...he checks...i bet half the pot, about .40, he insta min raises, at this point i put him on AQ...so i call, and BAMM..the river falls the Ten of hearts...he checks, i sit there for a few seconds, and bet pot...he folds and shows Ace Queen offsuit, and i fold and show my 9 of hearts only, and muck the Q of clubs...hahaha gotta love the big bluffs...
