First Table Reads:
1 [empty]
2 hero
3 Asian - big stacks, white framed glasses
4 newer player
5 young lady
6 [empty to start], then Asian, glasses (eventually got read that villain can triple barrel with air)
7 guy with white cap
8 old guy - Dallas Cowboys Cap
9 Asian - middle aged
10 [empty]
---------------
Hero late registered at end of level 4.
---------------
Level 4 - Blinds: 100/200
Hero dealt in BB: T2s
Preflop:
Vil3 (UTG): calls
(folds to Vil1)
Vil1 (SB): calls
Hero: checks
(3 players - 600 in pot)
Flop: Jx 6x 5x
(all players check)
(3 players - 600 in pot)
Turn: Jx 6x 5x Ax
Vil1: checks
Hero: checks
Vil3?: bets ~400
Vil1: folds
Hero: folds
Analysis:
Preflop:
Flop: Hero could bet this flop (~300-350), but it is somewhat wet. It could hit hero's range and may generate folds.
Turn: This is not really a great turn card to barrel since Vil3's limping range contains a lot of Ax.
---------------
Hero dealt in Button: 88
Preflop:
Vil8 (UTG): calls
Vil9 (UTG+1): folds
Hero (UTG+2): raises to 650
(folds to Vil6)
Vil6 (SB): calls
Vil7 (BB): folds
Vil8: calls
(3 players - 2150 in pot)
Flop: Qc 7s 2d
Vil6: checks
Vil8: bets 1100
Hero: calls
Vil6: folds
(2 players - 4350 in pot)
Turn: Qc 7s 2d Jh
Vil8: bets 1500
Hero: calls
(2 players - 7350 in pot)
River: Qc 7s 2d Jh 2s
Vil8: bets 2200
Hero: calls
Vil8: mucks hand and says "you win"
Hero: shows 88
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Isolate limper with wide range.
Flop: Vil8's donking range is low/weak pairs, weak draws, etc... Vil8 knew he was going to check/fold and it "likely missed hero", so Vil8 wanted to take aggression and try to win pot.
Turn: Same as flop. The overcard may hit Vil8's range, but hero is likely in call down mode.
River: River does not change anything. Hero in call down mode and is rewarded.
---------------
Hero's approximate stack: ~14k @ 100/200/25
---------------
Second Table Reads (Table 32):
1 guy with cap/headphones
2 guy with blue hoodie
3 guy with Adidas cap
4 (Eric) - younger guy, Dr. Beat headphones (seemed to be like online player)
5 hero
6 old guy, gap, glasses on cap

10 GB hoodie and polo
---------------

Vil2: checks
Vil3: checks
Hero: bets 800
Vil2: folds
Vil3: check raises to 1600
Hero: thinks for a bit, then folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard. Raise size seems ok (maybe 500 is better).
Flop: This might be a better spot to check the flop. The board does not really hit hero's range and usually has 2 over cards then an over pair.
---------------
Hero dealt in SB: A8o
Preflop:
Vil10 (UTG): folds
Vil1 (UTG+1): calls
Vil2 (UTG+2): folds
Vil3 (UTG+3): calls

(all players check)
(6 players - 3850 in pot)
River: Ah 3d 7c 3h 9s
Hero: bets 2500
(all players fold)
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: This is a WAWB spot and hero decides to let someone stab at the pot.
Turn: Same as flop.
River: Hero decides to bet/fold and try to get value. This seemed better in a MW pot.
---------------
Read: Vil3 seemed to be limping into pots a lot.
Hero dealt in UTG+2: ATo
Preflop:
Vil3 (UTG, ~15k): calls
Hero (UTG+2, ~18k): raises to 500

River: Kh Qc Jd 4h 6h
Vil1: checks
Hero: thinks for a bit, then bets 4000
Vil1: calls
Hero: shows ATo
Vil1: mucks
Vil4 says "You have a flush."
Hero says "I played this hand super weird."
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard to isolate.
Flop: Hero decides to call and let villain fire turn.
Turn: Hero decides to "spring the trap".
River: Hero decides to not put villain all in because hero does not think villain calls off entire stack. Maybe hero should have bet ~5000 instead...
---------------
Level 6 - Blinds/Antes: 150/300/25
Hero dealt in UTG+2: KQo
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero: raises to 650
(folds to Vil10)

(3 players - 2500 in pot)
Flop: Kx 5c 2c
Vil1: checks

Vil1: calls
(2 players - 4900 in pot)
Turn: Kx 5c 2c Kx 9x
Vil1: checks
Hero: bets 3000
Vil1: calls
(2 players - 10900 in pot)
River: Kx 5c 2c Kx 9x
Vil1: checks
Hero: thinks for a bit, then checks
Vil1: shows KJ and folds.
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Standard with all of hero's range on dry board.
Turn: Hero decides to barrel since it makes hero's line more look more like a bluff.
River: Hero checks since Vil1's range has some flush draws (maybe pair + flush draw).
---------------
Read: Vil8 seemed to be tight preflop.
Level 7 - Blinds/Antes: 200/400/50
Hero dealt in Button: AQo
Preflop:
Vil8 (UTG): raises to 1300
(folds to Hero)
Hero: calls
(other players fold)
(2 players - 3700 in pot)
Flop: Jd Th 9c 7d
Vil8: bets 2000
Hero: calls
(2 players - 7700 in pot)
Turn: Jd Th 9c 7d
Vil8: checks
Hero: bets 4000
Vil8: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard even against a tight villain's range.
Flop: Hero's range is stronger against a UTG range board. Hero decides to peel with an OESD and possibly bluff some turn cards if villain checks.
Turn: Good turn card to barrel. Any 88x or connected cards may have a straight now (if they were not already had a straight). Hero decides to semi-bluff and take pot down.
---------------
Read: Vil6 seemed to be quieter, while hero was close to table's chip leader.
Hero dealt in SB: 87s
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero: raises to 1000
Vil6 (BB): calls
(2 players - 2250 in pot)
Flop: 8x Qd Jd
Hero: checks
Vil6: checks
(2 players - 2250 in pot)
Turn: 8x Qd Jd Ax
Hero: checks
Vil6: checks
(2 players - 2250 in pot)
River: 8x Qd Jd Ax 7h
Hero: bets 1800
Vil6: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero decides to have a raise dynamic as SB in SB/BB battle by raising. Hero could also limp range too.
Flop: Hero decides to try to just show down hand. Hero would probably call one bet.
Turn: Same as flop.
River: Hero bets for value and tries to make line look like a bluff by betting close to a PSB.
---------------
Level 8 - Blinds/Antes: 250/500/50
Hero dealt in BB: Jh Th
Preflop:
(folds to Vil1)
Vil1 (CO, ~17k): raises to 1200
Hero (BB, ~22k): calls
(2 players - 2900 in pot)
Flop: 9d 8c 8s
Hero: checks
Vil1: bets 1200
Hero: raises to 3900
Vil1: bets 6300
Hero: calls
(2 players - 15500 in pot)
Turn: 9d 8c 8s 7h
Hero: checks
Vil1: bets 4500
Hero: raises all in (~13.5k)
Vil1: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard against LP raise. Hero could also consider a 3b too given 30 BB stack sizes.
Flop: Hero decides to semi-bluff with overcards/OESD. Hero's plan was to call and likely decide what to do on the turn. This might have been a better spot to jam all in since this seemed much like a leveling game since the board texture does not likely hit either player.
Turn: Hero decides to c/r all in since Vil1 will likely keep up aggression instead of leading and hoping to get called by worse. Vil1's range seems rather weak.
Note: Hero has table's chip lead with about ~39k.
---------------
Read; Vil10 seemed weak tight.
Hero dealt in button: 54o
Preflop:
(folds to Vil10)
Vil10 (UTG+2): calls
(folds to Hero)
Hero (But): calls
Vil5 (SB): calls
Vil6 (BB): checks
(4 players - 2250 in pot)
Flop: Ts 9s 3x
Vil6: checks
Vil7: bets 900
Vil10: raises to 2500
Hero: folds
Vil6: folds
Vil7: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero decided to "play the table" in position with a weak hand that is not likely going to get raised preflop.
Flop: Hero sees too much action on a wet board to consider anything but folding.
---------------
Hero's approximate chip count at Level 9 break: ~38k
---------------
Level 9 - Blinds/Antes: 300/600/75
Hero dealt in UTG+2: ATo
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (UTG+2): raises to 1400
(folds to Vil7)
Vil7 (HJ, 12k): calls
Vil8 (CO, 8k): calls
Vil9 (But): folds
Vil10 (SB, 17k): calls
Vil1 (BB): folds
(4 players - 6950 in pot)
Flop: Td 9d 3x
Vil10: checks
Hero: bets 3000
Vil7: folds
Vil8: raises to 7500
Vil10: calls in (for less)
Hero: calls
(3 players - ~24900 in main pot, ~3k in side pot 1 player all in)
Turn: Td 9d 3x Kd
Hero: bets all in
Vil8: thinks for a bit, says "That's not the worst card in the deck, but there's too much money in the pot. I call."
Vil8: shows QQ
Vil10: shows JT?
(3 players - ~38900 in pot, 2 all in)
Board: Td 9d 3x Kd 5s
Vil8: said he was hoping for a squeeze from one of the 2 shorter stacks.
Analysis:
Preflop: This might be slightly loose. Standard to open approaching MP, but was table tight enough that hero could play this hand properly?
Flop: Hero saw out of corner of eye that Vil8 raised, but hero did not realize Vil8 did not raise all in and had chips behind. Hero was going to just shove any turn card.
Turn: This was actually a good turn card for hero's bluff. While hero may not have best hand, Vil8 may fold if not checking pot size. Unfortunately, hero is called and is dominated.
Hero's chip count at table break: 28525
---------------
Third Table Reads (Table 32):
1 mid aged guy with Astros cap
2 grey hair, cap with V and sunglasses on top
3 grey hair, white hat
4 balding guy with glasses
5 Eric, seat 4 from Second Table
6 Arab with cap
7 hero
8 young guy with glasses and Dr. Beat headphones
9 guy with Cubs hoodie
10 mid aged guy, big sunglasses and watch
---------------
Hero switches tables just before the break.
First hand at new table just before break.
Level 9 - Blinds/Antes: 300/600/75
Hero dealt in UTG+2: 9s 9c
Preflop:
Hero (HJ): raises to 1400
Vil1 (BB): calls
(2 players - 3850 in pot)
Flop: As Qx 7s
Vil1: checks
Hero: bets 3000
Vil1: calls
(2 players - 9850 in pot)
Turn: As Qx 7s Ts
Vil1: checks
Hero: checks
(2 players - 9850 in pot)
River: As Qx 7s Ts Ks
Vil1: checks
Hero: bets 8500
Vil1: thinks for a while, then folds AQ showing it to hero.
Hero says, "Yeah, that was a really bad river card".
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard.
Flop: Marginal c-bet as thin value bet to price out flush draws/get value from 7x or lower pairs.
Turn: Standard check. Hero does not have strong flush draw (part of villain's calling range) and could be WAWB.
River: Hero wants to make line look like a bluff on a scary river card. Vil1 may call with top pair/bad 2 pair or lower flush. Hero has easy bet/fold.
---------------
Hero's chip count at level 10 break (400/800/100): 33000
---------------
Level 10 - Blinds/Antes: 400/800/100
Hero dealt in SB: A2o
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (SB): raises to 2000
Vil8 (BB): folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero decides to try to apply pressure with SB raises. Maybe this was a better spot to establish a limp in SB range.
---------------
Read: Button is tight.
Hero dealt in CO: A6o
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero: folds
Vil8 (But, 20k): folds
Vil9 (SB, 11k): shoves all in
Vil10 (BB, 20k): folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero probably should consider raise/folding in this spot (raise size = 1700?). Hero may get shoved on by 20 BB stack in SB, but this was likely a mistake by hero not to try to steal the blinds since hero has above average hand to raise in CO.
---------------
Hero's Image: tight (folded 2 orbits), even though hero is close to table chip leader
Level 9 - Blinds/Antes: 300/600/75
Hero dealt in UTG+3: 9c 7c
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (UTG+3): raises to 1700
Vil1 (But): calls
Vil2 (SB): calls
Vil3 (BB): calls
(2 players - 7800 in pot)
Flop: 8c 8d 6s
(all players check)
(2 players - 7800 in pot)
Turn: 8c 8d 6s 5s
Vil2: checks
Vil3: checks
Hero: bets 5800
Vil1: folds
Vil2: folds
Vil3: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero's tight image might make it better to steal with bottom of hero's range. Hero unfortunately gets multi-way pot.
Flop: Hero could cbet as a semi-bluff, but there are too many players. Hero decides to make delayed c-bet since some villains may try to c/r here with air.
Turn: Hero's bet sizing was likely too large. Maybe 3000-3500 is better bet size and get called by worse hands. Hero may have been trying to make hand "look like bluff", but is not balancing well.
---------------
Hero's chip count at level 13 break (800/1600/200): 32,100
---------------
Fourth Table Reads (Table 38):
1 old guy
2 mid aged guy, KC jersey and glasses
3 old guy with glasses
4 (Third Table - seat 7) - glasses with Dr. Beat head phones
5 young Asian - glasses
6 bald bigger guy with goatee
7 young mdi aged Asian with glasses
8 younger guy with glasses
9 hero
10 mid aged guy - sunglasses on cap and headphones
---------------
Level 13 - Blinds/Antes: 800/1600/200
Hero's stack: down to ~26000
Hero dealt in Button: 9s 5s
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (But, ~26k): folds
Vil10 (SB, 17k): folds
Vil1 (BB, ~30k)
Analysis:
Preflop: Is this a spot where hero should raise all in with 18BB? Hero might have fold equity, but it is hard to say. It might be a better spot to raise to ~3400/fold to re-raise.
---------------
Hero's stack: ~24k
Reads: Vil3 seemed to be a maniac.
Level 13 - Blinds/Antes: 800/1600/200
Hero dealt in UTG+1 (8 handed): Ah 7h
Preflop:
(folds to Hero)
Hero (UTG+1): raises all in
(folds to Vil3)
Vil3 (SB): calls
Vil4 (BB): folds
Vil3: shows KJo
(2 players - ~51200 in pot, 1 all in)
Board: Ax Tx 7x 4x 4x
Analysis:
Preflop: Hero thinks an EP steal might work since hero has been tight. Unfortunately, hero is called. Hero gets a fortunate double up.
---------------
Level 14 - Blinds/Antes: 1000/2000/300
Read; Vil6 (UTG) had raised 3x in 2 full orbits
Hero dealt in HJ: AJo
Preflop:
Vil6 (UTG): raises
Hero (HJ): thinks for a little bit, then folds.
Analysis:
Preflop: Does hero assume Vil6's range is a bit tighter? Can hero classify Vil6 as a maniac (raising even 15-20% hands UTG) only given 3rd raise in 2 orbits? Hero decides to be prudent and wait.
---------------
Hero dealt in Button: Qh Jh
(8 handed)
Preflop:
(folds to Vil5)
Vil5 (UTG+2): raises to 4400
(folds to Hero)
Hero (But): calls
Vil10 (SB): calls
Vil1 (BB): calls
(4 players - 20000 in pot)
Flop: 2d 9d 7h 5s 8x
(all players check)
(4 players - 20000 in pot)
Turn: 2d 9d 7h 5s 8x
Vil10: checks
Vil1: checks
Vil5: bets 5300
Hero: folds
Vil10: calls
Vil1: calls
(3 players - 35900 in pot)
River: 2d 9d 7h 5s 8x
Vil10: checks
Vil1: checks
Vil5: bets 6000
Vil10: folds
Vil1: folds
Analysis:
Preflop: Standard to flat behind Vil5's raise, but there is fear of getting squeezed. The risk seemed very low since neither player seemed over-aggressive at all preflop (0 PFR).
Flop: Hero could try to barrel with gutshot + overs, but hero decides to check it back.
Turn: Should hero have peeled? It's debatable. Hero's equity is not super great, but Hero could get check/raised by either blind who have not acted yet (although it's unlikely to get check/raised given board texture). Hero decides to give up on pot.
River: Hero learns that Vil5 bets super small on a likely scary river card. Is this a cheap bluff or value bet? It seems more like value bet since Vil5 may have picked up a pair/straight draw/rivered set.
---------------
Hero's stack: 40,700 with 3:14 left in Level 14 (1000/2000/300).
Hero bags stack, is given new Day 2 seat assignment for next day, and is the second person to leave and go to bed for the night.
Hero is happy to get the extra hour or so of sleep since a full 15 levels were not played.
