A Winning Session And i hate coolers !! again !! or were they ?

Well first session tonight and i played 396 hands , more than usual for a session but i was feeling good , and then bad , and then good again .

At first i thought this was a cooler , but was it ? I mean he went all in , but could you put him on AA ? there was no way he had any other trips ? Should i have seen this ?

Hand 1: if you don't fold the flop, that hand is going to run you broke no matter what. if he just calls the flop, and the turn comes a king, you're not going anywhere. the river king means you're losing a stack and that's that.

as played, i'm looking at this in the cold light of day wondering what he'd have that you would beat. and the answers are pretty thin. ATs+ perhaps, or a bluff.

still, that's a really tough laydown to make (or it would be for me).

Hand 2: i'm not sure. on one hand, i don't mind a 1/2-3/4 pot bet there because i think you'd get called by someone that ties you, or might have caught a second pair that made them happy.

betting pot and then getting raised just made it a big pot in an instant. i wouldn't go over the top there, especially since JT is a reasonable holding.

calling is probably player dependant, but i'd be surprised to find it a +EV situation long term.

Hand 3: TT might be smack in the middle of the range to call this guy with. if he'd go all-in AJ+, 88+ you guys are about split in pot equity.



pisser though that you caught him and he crawled out from underneath.
