9 hands: 25BBs

An incredible heater today in a five minute session. Sat down with two other players (heads up against one initially), and proceeded to bust them both in nine hands. Of course their fishy play didn't help them (capping turn and river with top pair and a pair on baord was pretty special), but still I can't complain about the rivered straight or the full house on the turn.

hehe nice little session .. a couple comments:

Hand 1 & 2: nice

Hand 3: Why did you limp in with q5o? Wouldn't that turn ugly pretty often?

Hand 4: nice

Hand 5: you weren't concerned with the flush with 2 opponents? would you have called or folded to a reraise on the river?

Hand 6 & 7 & 8: why not raise first in preflop?

The blindman said...

Hand 3: Playing 3 handed, I will complete the SB with a very wide range and compete anytime I hit a flop. It might be bad play, but I'm not sure. If the button folded, I may raise on a steal rather than limp.

Hand 5: Three handed, I'm not too worried about it. I should have raised the turn in light of the flush draw. Flush draw from Mactep was a possibility, but I would probably still call a raise. There's a pretty wide range he can think is good in 3-handed.

6, 7 and 8: I prefer to raise hands that play well heads up like Ax/K-mid and pairs. I tend not to get aggressive with crappy hands unless I get a sense that the other players are folding too much. Maybe I should be more aggressive three handed, but I'm not sure
