Villain is 30/10/1 over a small sample. His raise size here puts me in a weird situation not to want to raise QQ in blind battle. Because a raise to 7x is usually a very vulnerable hand like middle pair 88-JJ. These hands might fold to 3bet and most certanly won’t call cbets on most flops. If he is the aggressor on the other hand the situation is different.
When he cbets so small I keep his current range and then his jokingly small bet on the turn didn’t convince me that I am beat. Once he bet the river I felt I am beat, but could figure out what he could possibly have. So I called him down…

Way to get value out of AA in blind battle against QQ. Still he chose good bet sizes, had he bet big I was folding on the turn…

There is always someone to save the day

Monday, March 10th, 2008

Today’s session was going really terrible. And I mean terrible!!! Flopped flush lose to flopped set, aces lose to flopped set in 3bet pot, TPTK loses to set in 3bet pot, aces lose to queens preflop, AA lose to AK preflop and TT lose to 99 preflop. In total, at the worst point I was 3.5 buyins behind in equity, not counting the coolers. At the end I won a huge pot against a bad player,and then another one…still finished 2.5 buyins in equity behind, but at least booked a nice win.

My biggest pot ever.
