Here are a couple hands from the 2/4 UB table I played at with Phil Hellmuth the other day... Takin a pot from phil (as petty as this may be) would have made a great screenshot.
I should have had lots of opportunities as I was dealt AK QQ QQ and AA all within the space of about 10-15 hands, but they were not all they were cracked up to be. It is the first 3 hands I want to post (the AA got me the blinds folded to me).
Hand 1:
A /images/graemlins/heart.gifK /images/graemlins/club.gif in the SB
All fold to Phil 2 off the button, he raises. LP calls, button folds, I re-raise to make it 3, BB folds, Phil and LP call. 3 to the flop for 10SB($20)
FLOP: 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
I bet, they both call. 3 to the turn for 6.5BB
TURN: 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
I bet, Phil folds, LP calls 2 to river 8.5BB
RIVER: 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
I bet, LP calls.
LP has A /images/graemlins/spade.gif7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif and wins with a pair of 7s.
There was no way I should have let off the gas here right? No raise.
Hand 2 (5 hands later):
Q /images/graemlins/spade.gifQ /images/graemlins/club.gif in MP
Folded to me, I raise, LP and the button call. 3 to the flop 7.5 SB
FLOP: 10 /images/graemlins/club.gif5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif
I bet, MP raises, button folds, I call?
this is my mistake here I think. 2 to turn for 6BB ($23)
TURN: K /images/graemlins/spade.gif
I bet out on this hoping he put me on AK or something and maybe hes on a lower PP that inspired the raise on the flop, or A10s or something, a flush/str8 draw. No luck, he calls. 2 to river 8BB ($31)
RIVER: A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
I bet out here again hoping he'll finally fold? How is this play?
anyway he Calls.
LP shows K /images/graemlins/club.gifJ /images/graemlins/club.gif
Hand 3 (2 hands later):
Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif EP
I raise from EP, button makes it 3 bets, PhilH calls from SB, BB calls, I go for the gusto and cap. (I gotta win THIS one right?) They all call. 4 to the flop for 16SB ($32)
FLOP: Q /images/graemlins/club.gif8 /images/graemlins/club.gif7 /images/graemlins/club.gif
I made a set of Qs with a flush on board.
PhilH bets from SB, BB calls, I raise? good move here?
Button calls, Phil raises BB folds I call, button calls.
Phil may have a flush.. but I'm not ready to believe it yet. 3 to the turn for 13BB ($52)
TURN: A /images/graemlins/club.gif (dang)
Phil checks, I check, Button checks. Should I bet here on the bluff with a draw to a house now that phil checked? a trap? I think im dead unless my house comes on the river.
RIVER: 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Phil bets, (I call, don't believe him) Button raises. Phil folds.... I fold... and we'll never know what he had.
The VERY NEXT hand I get AA and raise and everyone folds thier blinds to me.. no justice I tells ya, no justice. In 9 hands I got AK KJ QQ AJ QQ AA.. and nothin.. this was my chance to take out phil too.. lol. /images/graemlins/grin.gif
Any comments on my play here? Obvious mistakes?
Thank you very much,
Matt
