In this hand, I made a standard raise with AdJd in middle position and ended up getting called by the SB. He was playing 14/11, and I had played with him before and had a solid read on how he played. When he checked the relatively safe flop, I fired a standard continuation bet of 3/4 of the pot as many times this well end the hand right here. When he calls, I figure his range was the following hands: 55-88, any ten, any flush draw, QJ, or maybe AK. Out of these combinations, I considered a small pocket pair or flush draw most likely as a 10 probably raises with a straight and flush draw on board. Anyways, when the turn comes the 4s, he checks again. This is where my coach (NL_Fool) has really helped my game. Before, I would be scared of his flop call and check behind, which pretty much ruins any chance of me winning the hand without an A or J hitting the river. Now, since the villain in this hand is 14/11 and has shown no strength so far, it is a good spot to fire a second barrel IMO. If he had been a 33/20 or above, I probably check back here most of the time because he is never folding a pair anyways. The pot was $9.40, so I fired a healthy bet of $7.90. He calls, and I realize I'm probably just going to have to check it down. However, the 9c falls on the river and something really strange happens. The villain now fires $15 into a $25 pot. This is strange mainly because he has shown no strength at all throughout the entire hand despite a relatively dangerous board. There is no way as I am giving him credit for a 10, because even if he slowplays the flop he is pretty much never not raising the turn if he actually had a ten. I time down, and even though I have no pair, I am about 90% sure my A high is still good. If he had 55-88, which I thought was most likely, he has now been counterfeited and his hand is no good. If he had a flush draw or straight draw, both of those have missed. I make what I thought was a relatively simple call, and he shows 8c8s and I take down the pot.

First of all, this hand happened at 100 NL, which varies slightly from 50 NL as the players are somewhat better. Games are usually much, much more aggressive and the hands shown at showdown are generally stronger. I do find that the bad players at 100 NL usually make it very easy to get their money if you play patient and trap them, but unfortunately for me this entire table is full of solid regs. The initial raiser is 19/17, and is a very good player. I flop an open-ended straight draw along with a running flush draw. I am obviously not crazy about my hand, but I think that calling a $7 bet to peel another card is very standard. When the Ad hits the turn, I decided to get a little creative. I really put "Fish2s", the villain in this hand, on a hand like JJ-KK. I thought that the ace really had to scare him, so I decided to check again with the intention of making a large raise if he obliged. Sure enough, he fired $16 into $24.50. I raised to $44 with my straight at flush draws, as the Ad also had given me 8 more outs assuming he didn't have a set. Unfortunately, he moved all in and I had most of my stack already in the middle. I had no choice but to call and I saw that he did in fact have a set. I couldn't hit a diamond that didn't pair the board, a six, or a ten, and he shipped a big pot. Looking back on the hand, I stand by my play. In most cases, he won't have a set here and my raise will take down the pot. If he does call, I still have 15 outs against an overpair.

This was a really crazy hand, and I put myself in a tough spot by slow-playing a big hand preflop. I got dealt the AsAh in early position, and I decided to make a standard raise of 3.5x. I have been experimenting limping with huge hands at 50 NL and have had moderate success. I do not recommend this play at all if you are a beginner, and have a hard time folding the hand if the board gets ugly. However, this table had several bad players and it is generally a huge mistake to not make them pay to see flops. I also was in middle position and had less people behind to raise my limp. I NEVER slowplay AA or KK if I am at a table with even one fish. Anyways, a 19/14 called my raise and then the 15/10 in the BB 3-bet to $7.25. Now, he had a fold to 4-bet of 100% over a decent sample and I wanted to maximize value. If I raise here, my hand is pretty much face up and I make no extra money. I expect the behind me to fold as the BB 3-bet was fairly large. He also calls though, and now I really need to be careful. The flop came K 8 3 rainbow and although a decent flop, I was worried about the possibility of KK. The pot was $22, and the BB bet out $12 which is a smallish bet. I decided to continue my slow-play and just called. When the player behind me called as well, alarm bells starting ringing in my head. With no draws whatsoever on the board, I was very worried about 88 or 22. The pot is now $58 dollars. The turn is the 9s. The BB finally slows down and checks. I check behind as well. The last player ships his remaining $30.75 into the pot. The BB folds and I request time. I think about what hands he can possibly have and narrow it down to 88,22, or AK. I am getting almost 3 to 1 on my money (30 into 88). I beat 1 out of the 3 hands that I put him on. Therefore, I give myself a 33% chance that I'm ahead of his range, and since I'm getting 3:1 on my money, I only need to be a 25% favorite to make it a mathematically correct call. I reluctantly call expecting to see a set, but am happy to see him turn over AK. He is drawing stone-dead, and I win a $119.50 pot.

This was also a really bizarre hand. "Poodles1234" a 45/14 fish makes it $2 UTG at a 100 NL table. It was a really great table, as plenty of players were spewing money everywhere. Poodles had a monster stack, currently at $326.80. It got folded around to the SB, where "1Pablo-escobar" called the min-raise. He was playing 29/17, with a tendency to get crazy post-flop. I had 8d9d in the BB, and it only cost me $1 to see a flop with a great hand for a multi-way pot. The flop came Qd 10d 4d. GIN, or so I thought. The SB checks, and I decided to check to the bad UTG player with the intention of making a big check raise. Unfortunately he did not oblige, and checked quickly behind. The turn could have brought a lot of bad cards, but the 9c was not one of them. This is where all hell breaks loose. Pablo decides to bet $4 into $6. Wanting to protect my seemingly vulnerable 9-high flush, I make a huge over-raise to $22. Not believing me, Poodles now decides to make it $40!! Somehow, Pablo now ships his entire stack of $109 into the middle. I am completely flabbergasted. Can I really be beat in this spot against two bad players? I break down the hand quickly and realize there is no way I can fold here. If they players had been 19/14 or below, I think is a pretty standard fold. However, when two giant fish get crazy and I flop a flush and dodge a diamond or a card that pairs the board on the turn, I'm never folding. I re-shove my $80 stack remaining. Poodles quickly folds what I can only assume was a poor bluff attempt. Pablo turns over the KhKs and is drawing completely dead. I though for sure he would have some sort of flush out, but luckily enough for me he doesn't. The meaningless 4s falls on the river, and I win a $241.25 pot.
That's it for now, I am off to sleep as I have a coaching session early tomorrow morning. Best of luck to everybody, except if your not on my team and are currently in the challenge. Here is my graph so far:
