Good day at the office
I feel like I played pretty well yesterday overall. I ended up four buyins over nearly 3k hands, which I think is a fine result. I managed to play mostly 4 tables the whole time, which was key. It definitely was a bit of a battle as I lost quite a few large, key pots with really good hands. I also gave a poker lesson, which I felt went great.
This is the hand of the day and it reminded me of a post one of my students, Rob, made on his blog. He was talking about how many players who appear on the surface to be "decent" players due to their stats are actually quite terrible poker players overall. The villain in this hand is 24/19 and on the surface appeared to be just another average regular. Obviously I sickly own him on the turn and he calls OOP on the turn with a gutterball for some reason and binks it on the river. I think my river shove is fine, as it really puts the heat on him and I think it's OK to be capable of a play like this so you can get your sets/two pair paid off. Just kind of a weird hand overall.

Level?
ReplyDeleteHis play isn't horrible.
ReplyDeleteHis pfr isn't good but post flop is relatively standard. He has a double gutter on the turn and he's getting a good price, not a gutter.
ah, well I overlooked the fact he had a gutter... but for his implied odds I'd say he probably is only getting paid when the T comes off as if the 6 fell I'd be fairly likely to shut down/not value bet thin due to the obvious 4 card connectivity of the board as well as the likelihood he could easily have a 9X hand.
ReplyDeleteBut for his direct odds of course the 6's count as outs for him.
