[Demana]

Live $10/20 9 handed ring game

The Players
UTG: Seemed like a loose player who likes to call with garbage hands like K8o, but then will fold for an entire orbit. Only raises KK or AA preflop. Weak tight and predictable postflop.

UTG+1: Loose preflop, so-so postflop, but not very aggressive.

MP1: Fairly tight. Not very aggressive. Has the best hand selection, but is mostly weak tight.

MP2: Fairly tight, only raises preflop with AA-TT, AK or AQ. Aggressive post flop, will see the turn if he thinks he can win if he catches an ace.

MP3: Plays 80% of her hands, only raises preflop with AA, KK, or QQ. Predictable postflop, only bets when she has something.

CO: Plays 90% of his hands, only raises QJ (his favorite hand) plus AA-JJ. Very aggressive postflop, though it includes a lot of bluffing, bottom pairs, and chasing to the river with nothing.

Button: Hero

SB: Loose player who only raises AA-TT if there is not a raise in front of him. Will always cold call a raise by me and will go to showdown. Otherwise, he's aggressive postflop.

BB: Slightly loose, fairly aggressive preflop (raises HEfAP group 1 & 2 hands). Decent postflop and aggressive.

Notes
None of the players think about pot odds, implied odds, overcalls, or any other basic or advanced concepts. Some of them do try to think about what the other guy has, but then they'll fold an OESD on the turn because they don't want to "suck out".
