I turn up 65 mins late becuase I had a feeling they’d play 5 levels and I wanted to be fresh for 200/400 50 (the only meaningful level of day – nice big antes)
I get the 600 back check-raising a kid with 75 on Q44 after defending my bb.
Kid raises utg I call btn J6hh, bb calls, flop J82 w/2 clubs. Kid bets 600 we both call. Turn off 3 check around. River off 5 check to me I value for 1100. bb calls. I say Jack no kicker and turn over my nizzles (vs his range). He tanks for close to a minute frowning then turns over QJ. I honestly think he was just retarded and half blind rather than slowrolling.
I make it 500 utg at 1/2 with 33 same guy cc from emp. Flop J62. I cbet 800 he calls so im done. Except turn is a king. booyah. I bet 1500. He calls after a few seconds. While I’m considering firing a 3rd barrel, im worried he’s a station. River comes a K anyway. Sigh. Ch ch. He has AJo. Nice play sir. I prob give up even without the K river, but I’m not sure. Couple hands later he checkcalled two streets of big bets (2k and 5k) on AQTK board then mucked when shown AJ – so I probably shouldn’t fire a 3rd barrel on river unless its a Q.
I raise and fold to 3bets a couple of times.
I open to 550 in lmp w/ KTss. BB makes it 1700. His playback range is probably wide as I’ve been raisefolding so much. I take a flop with 22k behind. Flop Q75 all spades. He checks, I bet 2k he makes it 8k. Now i know im golden as he’s just about good enough to know he should lead the nizzles – and if he doesnt hes checkcalling not checkraising.
I consider just calling but i dont think he fires again with his air range so I just ship now after a minutes thought to max value against As, lower flushes and sets.
He INSTA calls, tables AsQx like its the fucking nuts. I flip my near nizzles
Turn 8s. And I’m $10k down in about 85 minutes of play
