I usually hit the 6 max table right after work and grind it out for no more than an hour. After dinner I decided to go back to the table for another 30 minutes...
I shut the computer off and ranted for about... 1 minute about this hand to Lola. Then realized how much variance does suck ass in a majorly ass sucking fucking way. I don't think I made the right decision on any street though so whatever... I wasn't happy about the fact that I didn't raise it pre-flop. I'm not going to say I would raise it 100% of the time in this spot, but I think it was warranted here as I had been consistently aggressive. I don't think he folds anyway:
Seat 1: Studi ($46.95 in chips)
Seat 2: Lola ($27.30 in chips)
Seat 4: sørven ($21.70 in chips)
Seat 5: Ravenater ($12.80 in chips)
Seat 6: sags1866 ($22.25 in chips)
Studi: posts small blind $0.10
Lola: posts big blind $0.25
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Lola [Tc Jh]
sørven: folds
Ravenater: folds
sags1866: folds
sørven leaves the table
Studi: calls $0.15
Lola: checks <---- If I make my standard raise to $1 then I think he probably calls (his stack is deep enough)... but I guess I'll never know that!
*** FLOP *** [8s Qd 9h]
Studi: bets $0.75
Lola: calls $0.75 <---- now that I think about it, raising here would have been a good play too... who knew...
*** TURN *** [8s Qd 9h] [Qs]
Studi: bets $1
Lola: raises $1.75 to $2.75 <---- Now I raise here hoping he does have a Queen, but I don't really consider that he may have flopped two pair or a set (although he would raise with 99 or 88)... bad bad poker. I probably should just call here if I think I am already beat and try to control the pot on the river.
Studi: raises $4.75 to $7.50 <--- At the time, I knew he had a Queen, but never thought to myself... "gee I wonder what his other card could be"
Lola: raises $18.80 to $26.30 and is all-in <---- awwww fuck it, all or nothing!
Studi: calls $18.80
*** RIVER *** [8s Qd 9h Qs] [9s]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Studi: shows [Qc 9c] (a full house, Queens full of Nines) <--- Fuck a Duck!
Lola: mucks hand
Studi collected $52.60 from pot
Lola leaves the table (in disgust!!)
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $54.60 Rake $2
Board [8s Qd 9h Qs 9s]
Seat 1: Studi (small blind) showed [Qc 9c] and won ($52.60) with a full
house, Queens full of Nines
Seat 2: Lola (big blind) mucked [Tc Jh]
If not for this hand my 6 max roll on PS would be at an all time high.
Keep grinding.

I'm not saying I won't go broke here but this is one tendency I am starting to see from you. You go very heavy on the betting when a card comes up that could potentially beat your hand. In other words you don't do anything to build the pot when you flop a straight but when the board pairs, all of a sudden you are eager to get your money in. I feel like I've seen you do this when you flop a set but you don't start heavy betting until the turn when it brings a third flush card or something. Again, no matter what you did here pre or post flop, it wouldn't have mattered because it's a setup hand for both players but you should keep that in mind about when to build a pot and when to slow down.
1. Alan is right.
2. Flopped str8s never win - how many times do I have to say it.
pardon me, but i have a trademark on "fuck a duck" please stop using it.
this is a cease and decist warning. next time you will be murdered
also, fuel is a fag
That's truly a cooler...
I was telling skidoo this the other day, the Poker Stars' full-ring PL25 games are some of the most profitable ones on the planet...
Just wondering if you'd pass on a message for me Schaubs?
Can you ask Lola if she'll be my Valentine?
LOL at you playing poker like me.
Bam-Bam in NLHE = <---- awwww fuck it, all or nothing!
Yeah, I'm really not sure why this hand was played so slowly on the flop . . . time to build a pot with the stone cold nuts. Then once the board pairs, like Alan said, you have to show a little more caution.
Raise pre. Consider it an insult when someone completes into your BB.
Gross turn either way.
