Session 3 of September 2010

Another decent effort. Averaged 28/21 simply by virtue of the number of fish popping up left right and centre. I didn't lose many pots at all through focus on reverse equity folds, and just didn't give anything away through any kind of PF spew.

Triple barrel for balancing. http://weaktight.com/2629424 I didn't mean to bet the turn so small. This is one of those spots that I just love when they call with QT and just feel so owned. Similar to the spot below actually, albeit that was yesterday:

Then a funny sort of spot here http://weaktight.com/2629428

PF, the guy bets 15% on the button. I'm assuming it's wider still BTN vs CO. We're 200bbs, and a flat is fine. On the flop, I'm usually the first to scream reverse equity, but I can make some assumptions that allow me to play future streets very confidently. Firstly, if the turn comes a low blank he's checking down his air for sure, meaning I get to see showdown fairly easily.

Secondly, there's a good chance he checks a piece of this board this deep, so 9x is almost out.

Thirdly, if the turn comes an ace, then I can call again as he's ALWAYS betting his air twice (but KK-TT disappear), but my perceived range would be such that he wouldn't bluff the river as I very likely have an AQ type hand that floated this dry of a flop. An ace coming is also in my favour, as it gets checked back a decent % of the time. Don't discount set and GS outs too.

I was a bit lost here http://weaktight.com/2629443 on the river. Paired board, non-nut flush, albeit a very suspicious and cally opponent. I shoved for want of a better option. I think 1/3 pot is better though in hindsite, and I must remember that option for future similar spots.

One more session before bed. Tight PF, no PF spew, the rest should hopefully follow........
