Thanks for the vote of confidence. below are 3 more hands where I thought I made good decisions.
At the 2nd table I was at, all 3 came at the 15/300 blinds 300/600 level. Opponent in every case is a young guy (YG) who was just moved to the table and has a good sized stack of chips. In the first hand, I have about 4800 and he has maybe 9000.
Hand 1: I have 9
7
on the button.
3 limpers, including YG, and I call. SB completes, BB checks. (6 sb)
Flop: Q
7
4
Checked to me, I bet, only YG calls. (5 bb)
Turn: 7
YG bets, I raise, he calls. (9 bb)
River: 6
YG checks, I check, MHIG as he shows Q
J
maybe I missed a bet here, but I was a bit concerned about a better 7 or 76. Probably monsters under the bed.
Hand 2: Next orbit. Ihave T
7
on the button.
Again 3 limpers to me and I call. Blinds stay around. (6 sb)
Flop: 7
T
5
Checked to me, I bet, only YG calls (I sense a pattern)
Turn: 2
YG bets. I take a long time thinking this through, but finally decide that it makes more sense for him to let me lead if indeed he has a made flush, so I call.
River: 3
He checks, I check. Again maybe I missed a bet, but my gut was he bet with either the A
x or a small flush and now wanted a cheap SD. He showed J
T
and MHIG.
Hand 3: Later this orbit: I have K
Q
in EP3. YG open limps, 1 fold, I raise, folded around, YG calls. (5.5 sb)
Flop: J
8
6
He checks I bet he calls (3.75 bb)
Turn: A
he checks, I bet, he folds.
I think he was glad to see the table break.
