When TAG goes LAG
5 handed 1/2, and I'm sitting on the button with 2 deepish donks in my SB/BB. BB won't raise with less than the 3rd nuts, SB loves to min raise and make like 1/5 pot sized bets as well as calling a whole lot.
Pretty much, I've got 190$ in my stack, but have my eyes on their 400ish.
I get T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in button, and I open for 8$. Both donks call-- time to outplay postflop.
Flop J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] pot 25$
-- Not perfect, but open end nonetheless.
-- SB donk bets 10$, meaning Jx or like 88/TT more than likely. NOT flush draw.
-- BB calls, no surprise. Any 2 cards.
-- I raise to 33$ just trying to buy a free card and make them easier to stack if I hit.
Not suprisingly, both call. Pot 123$
Good? Bad? Results to follow.
Hand 2-- about 10 mins after hand 1. By the way, I end up showing in hand 1 (either by showing my cards or showdown), so they know I can raise SC's.
I'm in BB, new donk is UTG. Last hand I raised Q8s UTG, got it checked down to the river vs this guy, and he folded to by 1/2 PSB on river. He's probably loose passive, but this is only his 2nd hand. He has about 180$.
Whole table limps to me, I have Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in BB. I decide I'm not [censored] around with deep stacks, and raise to 10xBB. UTG cold calls.
Pot 45$
Flop T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
-- I bet 41$ hoping to get it in on turn, he INSTA-pushes
I vomit, and then...? Keep in mind, he did not see the T8 hand.
