Summary of Omakase lesson 2: Mike.L, Session replay
Only hands we discussed will appear.
*********************************
Q
5
:
SB/BTN limp, I check. Flop: 88
2
The open-limp indicates a very weak hand. Therefore we could raise pf with any two and try to power through. It is also good to be aggressive early on. If we are going to take a stab anyway, we might as well get an extra small bet in there.
*********************************
K
2:
I raise from SB/BTN, villain calls. Flop: X,B,C. Turn: X,B,C on 43Q ; 6.
This is not a good turn bet. The turn hit his peeling range too hard, so we don’t have enough value in a bet.
*********************************
43:
SB/BTN completes, I check and bet right out on: 43T.
Should at least consider slow-playing. Many players that open limp will still be very aggressive if you check to them. Also note that he folded right away on the flop in hand 1.
*********************************
95:
I raise from SB/BTN, villain 3-bets, I call. Flop: B,C. Turn: B,C. River B,F on A52; 3 ; K.
Important to plan the river before you call the turn. Showing down on all cards seems best. We still don’t know a ton about this guy and it’s worth a bet to see that he’s not going crazy with T9. Also we have 9 outs on the turn (4 chopping outs), so we need to call.
*********************************
J4:
SB/BTN raises, I call. Flop X,B,C on T42.
Given that villain has limped his button earlier, it’s better to just fold pf. On the flop a XR is better with our pair. Given how passive villain has seemed so far we want to lead the turn.
*********************************
AT:
CO limp, BTN raise, SB cc, I call.
Given that BTN only had 3bb when the hand started and the two limpers, Mike would have preferred a 3-bet for value.
*********************************
T3:
UTG limps, SB completes, I check. Flop gets checked around and SB bets out on the turn:
A46; 7.
Given that we have so many outs, we can’t fold despite the small pot. A raise is a better play than a call, because it’s possible that SB is bluffing and we can win the pot UI.
*********************************
T9:
CO post a blind and I fold UTG.
Too tight. These guys won’t punish us enough. If the hand ends up four-ways that’s fine too.
*********************************
A5:
UTG limps, SB completes, I check.
Raise for value! Also may pick up the pot on some boards.
*********************************
A6:
I raise from CO, BTN and SB cc. Bet flop and both call. Bet turn and BTN raises on:
AJT; 3. SB folds and I call.
Mike noted right away on the flop that this is a board where we should be able to get away from TP depending on the action. The turn call is too optimistic. This guy seems passive. Basically we call praying for an unlikely chop. Board is very scary for A-rag to raise so that seems like an unlikely holding.
*********************************
A4:
I raise from CO and both blinds calls. Checked to me on the flop, I c-bet, F, R, I call. BB bets the turn and I raise on 235; 4.
Good to wait to the turn, but abandon the plan on that card. We are giving him a bit of a free-roll. Few hands to get value from and he will of course punish us with a 6. I asked Mike what he thought of villains flop play. He liked it: tricky aggressive play. There are some value vs our range. With hands like KJ etc, we are put in a tough spot.
*********************************
88:
UTG limps, I raise from HJ, BB and UTG calls. BB XR the flop and UTG folds, I call. BB bets the turn and I call. He checks to me on the river: QQ7; 9; J.
The river is a clear value-bet. His hand looks a lot like 7x or a small PP.
*********************************
K6:
I raise on the BTN, BB 3-bets I call. He c-bets the flop and I raise on: QJTr.
Pf is very marginal and probably –EV given the dangerous LAG-TAG in the BB. Flop raise is worse. Problem is that he will 3-bet us a lot given his range. Also he will probably not fold anything. Does not seem like a guy we can bully. Given that he only called the flop I should probably fire the turn on a blank.
*********************************
A8:
I raise a HJ limper, BTN 3-bets, the limper folds, I call. I XC the flop and villain checks behind the turn. On the river the board looks like: 547 diamond:; K; A .
Villains hand looks a lot like an ace with a big kicker once he checks the turn. Given that the river is kind of ugly. If we bet and he raises we should probably fold. Question is if XC is a better option. There are probably few hands villain will buff, because it would have been more natural to do so on the turn. It is also doubtful if he will bet a PP for us. All things consider BF is probably best.
