Blogger cash game

Last night, we had the blogger 1-2NL deep stack cash game which was a blast. For some unknown reason, I thought it was a prerequisite to sign up for the Mookie so I ended up with 6 tables (I was 4 tabling 2-4nl and couldn't close them down because they were extremely juicy, then mookie popped up, then the blogger cash game...). And believe me... my 15" monitor can't handle 6 tables... I have 4 of them set so they fit perfectly next to each other... the other two were basically hidden and I was counting on the thing to start flashing, letting me know it was my turn. Here are some of the hands that I played from the blogger cash. I would delete the chat to make it easier to follow but some of the chats are priceless...

This was like the 3rd or 4th hand in... I get dealt a pretty good hand...

I wish I could say something cool like I had a read on Don and made a play blah blah blah but in reality, I was feeling frisky, my thought was that it would be rare for Don to peel one more card with just a flush draw... figured it might be more like middle pair or a weaker king... like KJ, JT, T9... I figured I could rep a flush and if he calls, I obv give up on the river.

But I couldn't bully the whole table since these guys know that I like to get frisky (read: spewy)...

I didn't care for the call on the flop. I thought about betting here in case he was on a flush draw but if he has a Q, there aren't too many hands I can beat. Plus, if I bet here and I get checkraised, it would make for an awkward spot so I decided to check behind. Since I had position, I figured controlling pot size was better even if that meant I gave up a free card... now that I write this out, it seems like a very flawed thought process... but I'm just telling you what I had in mind at the time... I should get points for honesty.

Once it's checked to me, I'm fairly comfortable I have the best hand. In case he had a piece of the board, I felt compelled to throw out a value bet. He might think I am betting a missed flush draw, esp after the turn check on a draw heavy board.

And then I think this was the last interesting hand that occurred. Props to Cmitch for folding the river...

This was a very close one. On one hand, I thought about reraising. Problem was, if I did, I felt like I would be majorly announcing that I have a monster. Since cmitch and I discuss a lot of hands, thought processes, etc, I just felt like if I'm coming over the top with a raise, he knows I have to have something real solid that would clearly beat one pair.

Incredible fold by cmitch, IMO. Normally, I wouldn't say that. But here, based on the betting sequence, there's no way he puts me on a boat. When I bet out on the river like that, I'm repping the J really hard. But I wanted to because I felt that cmitch would sniff that out and know that I am looking like I'm repping a J. It's quite possible that I have a hand like KT even though I wouldn't call a preflop reraise with KT. So, there were a lot of things in the hand that didn't make sense based on the sequence that cmitch probably felt it was either I had air or monster. Again, by me betting out trying to rep the J, I thought that would get cmitch to call thinking it's weird that I would rep a J like that. Damn, I thought I was gonna get paid...

So all in all, it was a lot of fun... of course, I also thought chislodc (BRACKCHIPS) who used to torment me at 2-4NL FR games would come and join... but then his blog partner (BRUECHIPS) told us where he was...

RecessRampage: where's chislodc

mdemontecristo: he's sitting here at my place
RecessRampage: is this too low stakes for him?
Fuel55 (Observer): giving u a hand job?
mdemontecristo: lol
RecessRampage: lol
RecessRampage: fuel loves him some ghey jokes

Yep, we're a classy bunch! It was a lot of fun and mucho thanks to Gnome for setting it up.
