My Experiment (Long, lots of hands) |
|
Posted Fri Jan 13, 2006 4:36 am GMT by snoogins47
Hey all, I sat down to play some leisurely $5/$10 tonight, and within like 20 minutes, I had gotten overwhelmed with AIM messages and decided to concentrate on the chats before they go to bed, and then I'll play some more poker.
Then I had an idea: it’s nothing new, and it might not go well, but I’m going to post a lot of hands from the session, in order, with a running commentary.
Somehow, I didn’t settle in right away and misplayed some early hands very, very significantly. That makes for even better reading. Don’t get me wrong though: even on my good days, I make lots of serious errors.
First hand:

This hand sucked. I butchered every decision I made, which is somehow often what I do in the very first hands of a session online. It’s like, my brain isn’t in poker mode yet, and I play awfully for a bit.
The most glaring mistake I made here, I think, is not 3-betting preflop. I should’ve folded to the flop 3-bet too, though with my knowledge and history of my opponent, it’s not as big of a mistake as it probably looks like, getting 9 to 1 here, especially since he’sa regular and knows that I could have almost any two cards here. My pair outs are clean here a lot more often than they probably should be, and the backdoor straight potential helps a tad, but it still probably should’ve been a fold here. I’m really kicking myself for not 3-betting preflop.

I don’t know the player in the BB here, but this seems pretty standard. Against some players I might complete here a good chunk of the time, but raising works too. Rest of the hand seems pretty automatic.
Good, two hands and I’m getting beat up. Welcome to poker, Jake.

A raise is probably reasonable here some of the time, but the BB is a solid player, who will defend with a lot of tenacity against me… and the unknown showed last hand that he’s not afraid to back down, even though it may’ve been because he had AA. I’ll sit this one out.

I decide to get mixed up here. King-Seven is a pretty decent holding four-handed, and my nemesis here is in the SB now, so chances are good he’ll be a nice little blind and muck, and I can deal with the newcomer mano a mano (for the record, if I don’t recognize the name and don’t have any hands on them, I default to assuming that they’re not very tough players. My reasoning is that with the extent of which I’ve played these games, I have extensive histories with almost every regular, and at least a few hands with anybody who plays all the time. So, in general, a complete unknown for me tends to be a fish, a casual player who may or may not be decent/good, somebody moving up, etc. This isn’t always the case, of course, but it works pretty well. In this hand also, I like raising to try to buy the button, because my hand actually has some showdown value intrinsically. This is a big plus against the type of player that I default to assuming an unknown is, which is: they aren’t stupid, but they tend to be too loose and too passive.
I get 3-bet, again, and throw in the chips. Flop sucks, but he checked?? After 3-betting preflop? This tends to mean two things: he just flopped a set, or he has a pair smaller than the board and is afraid of all the high cards. I just check, though, since after all, I have nothing.
Turn: Well, whaddya know. But he bet? My read has changed a bit: KJ or KT is a possibility as well as the others, maybe AQ, but I don’t think I can give up here with second pair. Raising here is definitely reasonable. I still think the smaller pair is a very, very reasonable possibility here: and I figured, since I checked behind on the flop, he’s probably feeling very good about a smaller pair, or QJ, or something if he’s got it, since the only card he really has to be afraid of, if I check the flop then call the turn, is if I have a king. So I think he’ll keep betting worse hands if I call pretty frequently. Hands that he may fold to a raise. I play a lot of shorthanded too, and as such I tend to value information pretty highly: when I’m behind, I lose the same amount if I raise, when I’m ahead, I probably gain a similar amount, but this way I get to show the hand down, and see what he has. It turns out I learned nothing about his 3-bet standards preflop, but knowing that he’ll 3-bet preflop and check behind when he flops the second nuts is pretty valuable.

This felt like a reasonably close decision at the time, based purely on my showdown equity, but being in the worst possible position sucks here, especially when I end up folding the best hand for two cold on the flop like, a lot. Have fun boys. Anyway…he 3-bet QT hey? Sweet, note to self.

Funny, same hand back to back, but this time it’s easy as pie, and I take the aggressive. Flopping top set is cool, but it’s cooler when people call you.

I think 3-betting preflop sometimes is reasonable, but I always try to mix things up, and keeping the pot small when you’re out of position against a good player isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I alternately could have led out on this flop too, but I felt the check-raise was probably my best chance to pick this pot up by the turn if I missed, and when I lead out, he’s raising me a lot of the time… sometimes with a hand, sometimes without. At that point, I have enough of a hand to continue, but I’m in murky territory, and if I want to try to pick up the pot, I end up dumping a lot of money into it this way, and force myself to get tied on farther. I was going to follow up my check raise with a turn bet if called and I missed. When he 3-bet, getting 9 to 1 seems like reason enough to continue with my overcards and gutshot, despite the overall murkiness of each and every one of my outs.
When he checked behind the blank turn, and the river blanked as well, at first glance in re-reading this, I really felt like I should have bet the river… but he knows better than to try to pick up this pot on the river if he missed his draw, because he knows me, so I actually thought I would check it down and win a decent percentage of the time. Given his hand, I really wish I would’ve bet the river, but I think check-folding is reasonable. Some players will bet this river, when I check to them, with almost any missed draw that I have beat, and in that case I think betting is superior, since I no longer run the risk of getting blown off the best hand, and hands like K9 will fold. I think I like my check.
Hand 27: (From now on, it’ll be at the other table I was at.. I didn’t want to play that guy heads up anymore. With the rake at $5/$10, I’d put myself at best as breakeven against a player of his caliber heads up)

This one doesn’t require a whole lot of explanation. 3-betting the flop is probably reasonable, but I like calling and raising the turn for a whole host of reasons. If he missed whatever random hand he’s trying to pick this pot up with, my edge gets significantly higher on the turn. When he has some random overcard hand worse than mine, which is, almost always… he will follow up his raise with a bet on the turn almost every time. This gets me more value from what is almost certainly the sort of hand he holds. Checking the river makes a lot of sense, since he’s never folding a better hand, but I’m only getting value if he decides to call me with a worse ace.

Same guy too. We all know what the raise pre is, and why I bet the flop. I check behind on the turn, hoping to improve, but figuring that of the likely scenarios, I’m only behind when he’s slowplaying a K.. he would’ve popped me pre, with a nice ace or a small pair, and he would’ve popped me on the flop with a pair of any sort. The river card didn’t do a whole lot for me: if he had an Ace, I was beat anyway, but it made him having an ace less likely, which is nice. Getting just shy of 4 to 1 on the river, and on that board, my check induced a bluff from a worse hand way more than enough to call. It looks like an awful call when he has K9, and the best call ever when he has say, 5T… so I got lucky this time. There’s a hidden value in calls like this too (though I will argue that this is definitely +EV without the hidden value) in that looking like a fish if you call with Q high and lose is probably good for you in a heads up match, but calling somebody down with Queen high and winning? That’s tilt-central, and heads up, a tilty opponent is money in the bank.

This one was fun. Keep in mind that he has clearly been tilting since the Queen-high call, which had the effect of him 3-betting me a lot preflop. That flop was actually good for me: I’m losing to any king and higher pairs, but AQ, AJ, AT, A9, A8, A7, QJ, JT, and a whole TON of 3-betting hands that will always bet that flop are smoked. Note that I was going to raise the turn even if I didn’t hit one of the better cards I possibly could have asked for: unless the turn was an Ace, which would have sent me running for the hills. I’m torn on whether or not I should bet the river here: but I hadn’t seen this guy donk-bet in the 30 ish hands I had played with him, even when he was improved significantly, and the Q did significantly cut into the 3-betting hands that I had beat, and also scares him a bit, making him less likely to call with a naked ace (imo) You can’t bank too heavily on reads over 30 hands obviously, but you should apply any information you can possibly gather, as long as it is weighted accordingly.

Tilty got me back. This hand is a good example, when compared with the A9 hand earlier, of why position is so important. I had too much of a hand to fold, but putting in raises OOP can be deadly in situations like this, so I ended up calling down, and losing. Sucks to that. His raise, and then bet the turn and river, means roughly “I have cards” so I’m sure the AJ calldown is profitable here. I have six outs against most pair hands, I’m somewhat ahead of any basically any flush draw(except 3cXc.. he would have almost certainly raised with AQ or AK preflop) and he’s bluffing a good chunk of the time too. Note that when he raises me on the flop, I am assured that I can show down the hand for $25, possibly less (unless I want to throw more money in.) Assuming that, I’m investing $25 to win $55 if he bets every street. My odds are better if he doesn’t bet every street. When he bets every street, I’m getting better than 2 to 1 that my hand will win. Gotta at least call this down, and knowing how bluffy and tilty he’s gotten, I don’t like raising OOP, because of how often I can get blown off the best hand. Being out of position sucks.

The only interesting part of this hand is the river action. Do I have the best hand >11% of the time? I think I probably do, and when it’s close like this, I like to default to calling: the last thing I want is somebody that starts bluff-raising frequently because they think they can run over me.
The hands I cut out were almost all very routine: as in, the vast majority were folded preflop by me, or ended preflop or on the flop. There were a few raise, get called, flop top pair, bet bet bet, win hands that I got rid of too. In the end, I almost precisely broke even in this tiny session.
I’m fairly happy with how I played this session, but I for some reason, as I said before, always tend to be at my worst the first 5-10 minutes of an online session. It was no different here, and there were some fairly serious errors in judgement.
This isn’t going to be as telling as say, somebody who is like, good at the game doing this, but it might help people out and make for some interesting discussion. I hope somebody gets something out of it. Feel free to tell me how awesome I am, or how much I suck... if you actually read any of it.
