9/30 Session

[Ajax410]

Finally got a solid session in of 1/2 - I was convinced it wouldn't come. Played 800+ hands and made 4.6 BB/100 - I'm pretty pleased. Here are a few interesting hands from the session.

1) What does he have?

Ax, where x != 2 &amp;&amp; x != 3 &amp;&amp; x != 4.

At least that's what logic tells me.

[Ajax410]

Hah - yeah - he turned over A2 - this was one of the first hands of my session...I was thinking I was about to embark on another few hours with absolutely no monetary gain...

[wabe]

Hand 1: agree with sluttysteve.
Hand 2: 99? J9 is my second guess. Jxs is my third choice.
Hand 3: looks good. I wonder if you would've gotten similar play if you had bet out on the flop.
Hand 4: you have three to the flush and two overcards. You raise on the CO, telling him his J is beat. When you raise again on the turn, you have four to the flush and TPGK. He believes he's beat. I would've played this the same as you.

[Ajax410]

Hand 2 - he shows 78 diamonds, giving him the straight to the 9.
