Blinds 150/300,
Limits 300/600 and 6 minutes left in level.
Hero saw 2 hands
before break.
Chip color up and
hero was down to 8600.

10: thinks for 5
sec, then bet
hero: calls
Villain: shows
AAT2
hero: shows a
couple pairs, then folds
7: shows a bad
low to get half
Analysis:
River bet by
villain after turn bet into dry side pot indicates super strong hand.
Some players will
fall under the "eliminate player philosophy" and will check it down, but
this really seemed like for value.
Hero probably
made bad river call b/c it's (800) to win (2850). The turn bet could just be a
quick attempt to pick up pot...
Hero's stack:
6500
---------------
A couple hands
later:
Hero dealt: AT92
(A2) (T9) double suited in UTG+3
2 folds

(6 folds)
(9) SB: calls
(10) BB: calls

(3 players - 2400
in pot)
Turn: Kh Qh 6c 4d
(hero has no flush draw)
9: checks
10: bets
hero: folds
9: folds
Analysis:
Preflop:
Standard.
Flop: Flop cbet
can work sometimes especially against 3 players, but hero looked to keep pot
smaller.
Turn: This could
be a call, even though high draw is to non-nuts. Hero played risk averse and
wasn't really thinking/looking to make move...
This was bad
considering hero was IP and can bluff a bunch of rivers (flushing by raising,
some broadways, some lows (578)
Hero's stack:
5700
---------------
Blinds: 300/500
Limits: 500/1000
Hero: dealt A532
(A2) in UTG+2
(2 folds)
2: raises
3 (hero): 3 bets
(7 folds)
2: calls
(2 players - 2800
in pot)
Flop: 53Q rainbow
(hero has back door nut flush draw)
2: checks
hero: bets
2: calls
(2 players - 3600
in pot)
Turn: 53QQ (2
flush, hero does not have flush)
2: checks
hero: bets
2: calls
(2 players - 5200
in pot)
River: 53QQJ (3
flush, hero does not have flush and hero did not realize flush completed via
backdoor)
2: checks
hero: bets
2: calls
Analysis:
Preflop: Some
merit to isolating versus letting other players in with strong MW hand. Player
2 had been kind of active (limping 3 of 6 hands in ~20 hands around table)
Flop: Completely
normal for value.
Turn: Hero is strongly
"pseudo over-representing" Q here as larger part of range + GS
potential, although naked nut lows may bet as well for fold equity.
River: Hero did
not see BDFD complete on the river!
No reason to bet
here. There's not many hands (except naked low draws) that would fold to river
bet.
Villain had also
led a couple times with NFD + NLD draw on A95 with K832 (K8 suited).
Hero's stack:
1700
Short stack in
seat 1 eventually busts and new player comes in from broken table.
---------------
Hero folded: AKJ7
(AKJ suited) UTG with 1700 @ 500/1000 limits.
Analysis: This
may have been a raise UTG due to high card strength.
Hero's BB hand
was trash (J727 rainbow)
Hero's SB hand
was KKQ9 (K9) suited and completed for 200 with 4 other players already in pot
Hero did not get a favorable flop and
folded.
Hero folded junk
on Button (with raise from seat 2 in CO)
---------------
Hero's stack: 700
Hero dealt in CO:
A965 (A5) (96) double suited
(6 folds)
Hero: raises all
in
button: folds
SB: folds
BB: sees hero's
stack, then calls with QQT3 (no suit)
Board: JT89A (no
flush draw)
Analysis: completely
standard, but hero could have been results oriented and waited for a stronger
high value hand with 6 hands to go...
Hero: busted
around 108 of 137 runners.
---------------
Overall Analysis:
Mentally, hero played very poorly, TBH. Hero did not think about ranges too much at all.
Also, some of the leaks (specifically trying to go for very thin river value) in earlier online LO8 cash game sessions likely expedited departure.
Finally, there are definitely LO8 strategy items that need to be addressed in general. Specifically, this regarding river betting (but also flop cbets and when to double barrel with little equity in various situations (player types/board textures, etc...)
