Monday Night

5000

10-20

THE D_RY (biggest name at the table) raises to 60 I call in SB with AQss BB calls as well. Flop AdTd6h I debate betting and end up checking BB checks D_RY checks. Turn 7 I bet 2/3 pot both fold.

Next hand cutoff raises I call on button with K4s flop J76 two clubs he bets I fold.

UTG limps I limp 22 flop 765 BB bets out UTG calls I fold.

Raise AK nobody calls.

Sifting through old emails cleaning up the inbox. Got the Monday night preseason game on the background. Jon Gruden is better than he was last week.

Fold A9o UTG.

Folds to me in SB I fold 96o.

Open-limp button with As5c. BB checks. Flop J42 two clubs BB bets 35 into 50 I make it 100 he calls. Turn Kc check check. River 7d check check he wins with JT.

Fold ATo to UTG raise.

Raise QQ MP all fold.

Next hand fold 85s.

15-30

MP raises D_RY calls I just call in BB even though I “should” reraise. Flop AKx checked around. Turn 8 I check raiser checks D_RY bets I fold.

Folds to me in cutoff I limp A4 hearts. Button limps BB checks. Flop KQ4 two diamonds BB checks I check button bets 70 into 105 BB folds I fold not feeling great about how I played that hand.

Nothing happening at this table guys playing like experienced sit n go players.

Raise AA UTG absolutely no action.

Guy raises early gets a call I fold K8s button.

20-40

Guy raises early I call with KJo MP cause I just feel like playing. Flop Q82 two clubs he bets small I fold.

Adam Schefter now works for ESPN. I’m cool with that.

Raise my favorite hand KTs (clubs this time) from the hijack cutoff calls SB calls. Flop Q76 two hearts one club not exactly what I’m looking for SB goes into the timebank and checks I check cutoff bets hard we both fold.

Raise a former favorite hand T8s nobody calls.

Limp 44 UTG two other guys limp blinds come along flop J88 blinds check I check button bets SB calls I fold.

25-50

Button raises 3x on a bit of a short stack I fold K3s in BB.

Raise KQ three guys call. Flop KTs8s I fire out a big bet basically saying get the f out y’all if anyone raises I will fold if anyone calls I will fire big again on a safe card. All fold.

Fold KTo UTG.

Fold T9o in SB to a D_RY LP raise. By the way, my record of getting 4-bet every time I 3-bet remains intact through the summer.

30-60

Raise KK guy behind me who calls every time calls AKwow also calls on button. Flop J95 I check cause I have been check-folding in these spots both check behind. Turn 9 I check guy bets button folds I call. River 3 check-check he has fours.

Emerging trend I saw a lot of late in the 2500 6-max yesterday is this habit of underbetting the pot on the river. Didn’t see many hands get turned over in those situations.

Break. Nobody bustoed in the first hour.

5426

Raise A6s button win the blinds.

Active guy on shortish stack raises MP I call from cutoff with 5d4d. Flop Th6d2h he checks I bet he calls. Turn 6h he checks I decide to fire 2/3 pot he timebank folds.

40-80

Fold A6s to EP raise I was going to open-fold in 3rd position.

Ahmad Bradshaw, one of my favorite fantasy sleepers, looking good tonight.

Guy who has been average raises in 2nd pos to 200, I make it 544 in cutoff with K3o. Felt like a good spot to put some pressure on him (he would have to play for stacks). He snap calls, so I think he has a pair. Flop 7h5c4c he checks I check. Turn 8h he checks I check. River 8 he checks I check he has AJs and wins.

Three hands later I raise QQ and he calls in SB. Flop Td9h5d he checks I bet he calls. Turn As he bets 400 into 1k I call. River 5s he bets 720 into 1800 I call. Why do I call? Because he has shown himself to be a bluffer? No. Because it makes sense for him to have a bluff here? No. Because I never fold, that’s why. He wins with AdJd.

50-100

Limp T8o in SB BB checks. Flop 953 two clubs I check he bets I fold.

Raise AQ cutoff they fold.

Guy raises 3x early I have gotten a bit short so fold J8s in position.

Limp A7o SB BB who has been loose-passive raises 4x I fold.

Next hand limp JTo button SB raises to 550 but I call! Flop A43 he bets I fold. Hands like that are very spewy of course but when someone makes that kind of bet it tells me they do not want a call. I have position and it is the sort of hand and situation where I feel comfortable calling in position feeling like a jack or ten will usually be good and I can also jam over his c-bet if I flop a draw.

Next hand raise AK cutoff they fold timing has been bad tonight.
