Default Gonores vs Kurosh HU

Like with Schneids, all of this is written by Gonores besides the K:

1) I raise J4o from the SB. Kurosh defends
Flop: Kh7h4s
Check, I bet, Kurosh folds

K: JTo here. I don't want to mess around with no read, so I just let it go.

2) I defend with 4c3c
Flop: Kh6h3s
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
Turn: 7
I bet, Kurosh calls
River: 7
I bet, Kurosh calls
I lose to A6o

K: I call down because it's more important to me to see his hand than possibly gain an extra bet when he has a weaker 6. He probably pays off a 3 too, but air and a K will get me nothing.

3) I raise AQo, Kurosh calls
Flop: 7h5h7s
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: Ks
Kurosh checks, I check
Weak play, I know, but seeing a showdown and possibly seeing what kinds of hands he will peel with could be pretty important…more important than making him fold a 6 outer.
River: 2c
Kurosh bets, I call
I lose to Kd2d

K: Thought my K might be good on the flop. Not sure what I was going to do yet, but I was going to showdown. Whiffed a CR on the turn and I didn't know him well enough to know if he would bet the river.

4) Kurosh raises. I reraise with AcTh. Kurosh calls
Flop: A95r
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: Tc
I bet, Kurosh calls
This is a critical juncture. Hand 2 (kurosh calls down w/ flopped 2nd pair, top kicker) is still sticking out in my mind. I don’t know kurosh’s game too well, so I don’t know if he’s truly a pansy who is gonna call down with holdings like that all day, but my instinct is he is not a chump, so I think he is vowing to extract some value from his hands. Besides, everyone knows how hardcore kurosh is away from poker table, and hardcore people bet rivers with marginal holdings in position.
River: 4
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
I win

K: I tend to be a bit passive in the first few hands when I don't have a read yet. I have no idea what he reraises with, but I'd guess it would be ace heavy, so I'm not going to raise with my 9. When he checks the river, I think this might be the first of my many bad river bets. 96o.

5) I raise K5o, Kurosh defends
Flop: 678r
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call
Turn: 2
Kurosh bets, I call
River: 4
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls.
I win

K: [censored] fish. I had J8.

6) I fold J2o in my BB to Kurosh’s raise

7) I fold 94o in the SB

8) Kurosh raises, I reraise with A5o, Kurosh calls.
Flop: J63r
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: T
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
River: 8
I check, Kurosh bets, I ponder and fold.
That hand felt pretty bad.

K: I was planning on raising the turn regardless, but I had QT here.

9) I fold T3o in the SB

10) I defend with 85o and fold on a KK4 flop

At this point, I’ve noticed his bets are either auto-bets, or very quick bets. It’s like he wants me to know my actions and board texture are unimportant to him.

11) I raise with 94o becase I folded my last two times in the SB and I’ll be damned if I do it 3x. Kurosh raises. I call
Flop: As9c5c
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
Turn: Kc
Kurosh checks, I check
River: 9d
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls.
I win and Kurosh shows KQo. Eat it.

K: KQ is good, so I reraise. Gotta bet the flop. I was going to CR the turn. I didn't think he would raise the flop with an ace. The river is a bad card. Ace beats me, 9 beats me, K chops, club draw isn't paying off. It could be a 5, but there are too many other combinations, so I check/call. Nice river fish.

12) Kurosh raises, I defend with 35o
Flop: 874r
I check, Kurosh bets, I call. I’m planning on donking a turn
Turn: J
I change my plan to checkraise. Kurosh checks behind
River: 6…Jenga
I bet, Kurosh calls.
I win

K: Q6 here.

13) I fold 94o in the SB.

14) I defend with 74o.
Flop: Q82r
Despite all my well laid plans to bluff and semibluff, a bevy of reasons have kept me pretty much straight-forward. Therefore, I donk, Kurosh calls
Turn: 4
I bet, Kurosh raises. I call, planning on seeing a showdown on a non-J,T,9 river
River: Qd
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
I lose to 8To.

K: I want him to be afraid of taking the lead OOP, betting the turn and my turn raise.

15) I raise with AKs. Kurosh calls
Flop: 4c5c8d
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls.
Turn: 9c
Kurosh bets, I call
River: Th
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh folds. He probably had the worst hand, but I wasn’t gonna let an opportunity like an overcard turn/overcard river pass without trying to make him lay a hand down. Besides, I still haven’t shown a bluff.

K: Yup, I had K6 here. I don't remember my exact reasoning here but I think it was because he was checking a few turns behind and I wanted him to think I had a made hand and didn't want him to check behind.

16) I defend my BB with Q5o
Flop: Qc8c6h
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
Turn: 2s
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
River: Jd
I bets, Kurosh raises, I spend a nanosecond thinking about reraising, and then call.
He shows JJ and wins

17) I fold 57o

18) Kurosh raises, I reraise with Jc3c because he still hasn’t folded a SB yet, and sometimes you just have to regulate. Kurosh caps. [censored]. I call
Flop: 234r
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 7
I bet, Kurosh calls. I pray for no ace, 5, or [kicker] to hit
River: 9s
I bet, Kurosh calls.
I win

K: K8s here. I thought he was full of [censored].

19) I raise and cap with KJo from the SB
Flop: Q93r
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
Turn: Q ( two hearts)
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls
River: 7s
Kurosh checks, I decide he wouldn’t call the turn with just an ace unless it was suited in hearts, so I check the nut king and lose to 55.

K: I'm still a bit passive at this point, but I'm getting a better read on him.

20) I defend with K6o
Flop: Q72o
I check, Kurosh bets, I call, thinking there is a chance I have the best hand
Turn: 9
I check, Kurosh bets, I call, unsure of what to do on the river
River: 8d (I’m folding)
I check, Kurosh checks
I lose to 33

K: I don't think he calls with a worse hand on the river.

21) I limp with 89o. Kurosh raises. I call
Flop: 339r
I bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
Turn: K
Kurosh bets, I call
River: A
Kurosh checks, I think and decide he’s not calling with a worse hand. I check and split with 9To

K: I was trying to represent an A or K, but I didn't bet the river for the same reason he didn't.

22) Kurosh raises, I call with A4
Flop: Ad5d8c
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
Turn: Th
I check, Kurosh checks
River: 5h
I bet, Kurosh calls.
I win

K: K4 here. I didn't want him to think he could run me over and he had been a bit more aggressive with pairs before.

23) I raise with Q6o, Kurosh defends and folds to my bet on a J64r flop

24) I fold to Kurosh’s raise with 82o

25) I raise J9o, Kurosh calls
Flop: JcTs7s
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh reraises
Turn: 6h
Kurosh bets, I call, intending to raise a blank river
River: Ad
Kurosh bets, I ponder and flat call. Bad idea by me, though I don’t think he is paying off a raise with his T4s that I beat

K: I had been reraising with solid hands so far. I decided to mix it up a bit.

26) Kurosh folds his SB

27) I limp with ATo. Kurosh raises. I reraise. Kurosh calls
Flop: KsQh2c

31) I raise with 75o Kurosh calls
Flop: 882r
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 6
Kurosh donks, I call
River: Jh
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh reraises, I fold

K: My previous donk had been a bluff, so now it's a real hand. J6.

32) Kurosh raises, I reraise with KK, Kurosh calls
Flop: T85r
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 7
I bet, Kurosh raises, I reraise, Kurosh folds

K: K2 here. He had been reraising me a bit much from the BB.

33) I fold 94o in the SB

34) Kurosh raises, I defend with Q2o
Flop: AQ4
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
Turn: 3
I donk, Kurosh calls
River: J
I bet, Kurosh calls
I win

K: 77. I wasn't sure what to make of his donk.

35) I raise with Q5o. Kurosh calls
Flop: AJ9
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call. That MFer is gonna raise me on a ace-high flop? I’ll show him.
Turn: Q
Kurosh bets, I call
River: Ad
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh reraises, I make the crying call I know he knows I’m gonna make, and I lose to A3o. I should’ve folded

36) Kurosh folds his SB

37) I raise AQ, Kurosh calls.
Flop: 8h3h2c
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call
Turn: 6d
Kurosh bets, I call, intending to call him down unimproved on any river, less maybe the 4 or 5 of hearts
River: Qc
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh folds

K: Got nothing. J9c.

38) Kurosh raises, I reraise with ATo, Kurosh calls and folds to a AT4 flop

K: 85o

39) I fold 72 in the SB

40) I defend in the BB with 98
Flop: QsQc4s
I check, Kurosh bets, I call. I have a notion of a plan here…namely to donk a river if the board doesn’t bring any paint. I can also play the flush draw angle…or you could just say im spewing chips
Turn: 9h
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
River: Ts
I bet, Kurosh calls
I win

K: A5o. I don't normally fold A-high on boards like that.

41) Kurosh folds his BB to my 86o SB raise

42) I defend my BB with T2o
Flop: Td9d3c
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh folds. I feel like I’m getting a little predictable with my BB defense play

K: 84o

43) Kurosh folds his BB to my A7o SB raise

44) Kurosh folds his SB

45) I limp with Q4o, Kurosh raises, I call and fold to a K65hh flop

46) I smoothcall with A4o in the BB
Flop: 4s5s6h
I donk, Kurosh calls
Turn: Kc
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
River: 8d
I’m putting in 1 BB on this river, and I may as well try to fold a weak 5. I bet, Kurosh calls. I lose to Q6o

K: Planning on raising the turn.

47) I raise and cap with Q3o
Flop: JhTc4c
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I 3bet, Kurosh calls. I made the decision to get wild early in this hand, but this seems like a great flop to try to blow Kurosh off a hand. His raise reeks of draw. It just seems like it’s that time in the match for him to pull this flop checkraise
Turn: 8c
Kurosh checks, I bet, figuring he will raise or fold. He calls and I decide he has 1 club, maybe with a pair.
River:4s
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls and shows Ah9c, for an unimproved ace high. I don’t know who’s play I dislike more on this hand, but it was a great read by me and a better read by him.

K: Earlier, I called him down with K-high when he capped too. I just felt like he was full of [censored] again.

48) I defend my BB with Th2h
Flop: 8d5c2c
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
Turn: Qc
I check, planning to call and fold to a river bet. He checks behind
River: 2s
I check, he checks. I obviously win. Kurosh had K6o….I’m not sure if he was calling a river bet, but I think I like giving him an “all-clear” on the river so he can try to bet his 5.

K: No, not calling a river bet.

49) Kurosh folds his BB to my JQo SB raise

50) I smoothcall from the BB with A8 after Kurosh’s raise
Flop: Qc6c6h
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 9d
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
River: 4d
I check, Kurosh bets, I call again and lose to his 98o

51) I raise Q5h, Kurosh calls and folds to my bet on a AsQs6s flop

K: 75s.

52) I defend with 7dTd in my BB
Flop: AdJd9h
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
Turn: 9c
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh folds

K: 75o.

53) I fold 85o in the SB

54) Kurosh folds his SB

55) I raise 85o, Kurosh reraises, I call and fold to a KhJs6s flop

K: K5o.

56) Kurosh folds his SB

57) I fold J2o

58) I fold 34o in the BB to Kurosh’s SB raise

59) I raise with 9c7c, Kurosh reraises, I call
Flop: 8s5s4d
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls. I’m hoping for any sort of a scare card on the turn. See those 6 straight 1-line hands above? I’m guessing that snugness is gonna carry into this “first turn in 7 hands” hand.
Turn: Kh…gay
Kurosh bets (gay), I call, still hoping for a scare card or something
River: 9d
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises (GAY), I call, and lose to his 55.

K: Owned. I had bet/bet/check folded before, it was a drawy flop and I think you bet with everything you call there.

60) Kurosh raises, I reraise with 6s7s, Kurosh calls
Flop: Jh9h2c
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 7d
I bet, Kurosh raises, I call
River: Qd
I check, Kurosh bets, I think long and hard about folding, call, and immediately feel dumb about calling. He shows 98 and wins.

61) Kurosh folds his BB to my A5o SB raise

62) I defend with 6h4h
Flop: 6c5d2c
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh reraises, I cap
Turn: Tc
I bet, Kurosh calls
River: Kd
I value bet, Kurosh calls with 68. I’m still convinced his kicker doesn’t play, but pokerstars thinks differently

63) I raise with Ks6s, Kurosh defends
Flop: AhJhJs
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: Qd
Kurosh checks, I check
River: 4s
Kurosh bets, I pray to see busted hearts and call. I win when he shows T8o. A few hands later, Kurosh berated himself for betting that river. I tend to agree with his assessment. Even check-calling would be better than betting there.

K: Yeah, this was a very very bad river bet by me. I tend to play very fast and I didn't think about it at all before betting.

64) I defend with T7o
Flop: Qh9s2d
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
Turn: 2h
I check, Kurosh bets, I fold. Again….I’m feeling a little predictable in my BB, and while I don’t mind peeling from time to time, I don’t like peeling here. Kurosh just lost a hand to my king-high…there’s a good chance he’s either got something, or he’s gonna try really hard to win this hand. In his mind, there’s no way I’m gonna be making tough late-street calls after last hand. Either, he’s not checking the turn, which is an important prerequisite to a flop peel getting 5:1 with 2 unders.

K: K9o.

65) I limp with T6o. Kurosh checks
Flop: Tc5cTd
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I reraise, Kurosh calls. I love fastplays in spots like this
Turn: 2s
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call, intending to raise a non-club river
River: 6c…Jenga
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh folds.

K: Q8o. I really hadn't run any big bluffs until this point and I thought it was a good time. Guess not.

66) Kurosh raises, I reraise with K9o, Kurosh calls
Flop: Jd5dQh
I bet, Kurosh calls. Feels like a peel to me
Turn: 4d
I check for the hell of it, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh reraises, I fold. Smooth, Dougie. Remind me to stop doing crap for the hell of it

K: Frush, T7dd

67) I raise with Qh3h, Kurosh defends
Flop: 2s4s4s
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 6d
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh folds

K: J7o.

68) I defend with 9c3c and fold to a T85r flop

69) I fold 72o

70) Kurosh raises, I reraise with AKo, Kurosh calls.
Flop: KsQd4s
I decide to throw a curveball and play it straightforward. I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: 6s
I bet, Kurosh calls
River: 7h
I bet. Kurosh calls
I win

K: Meh, bad calldown by me. ATo

Flop: 9h6h4d
Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls…cmon scare card
Turn: Th…jenga
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call…gay
River: 2c
Kurosh bets, I fold

K: 87c.

78) I defend with Th7h
Flop: Tc7d3h
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls

I bet, Kurosh fold

K: 54d

79) I raise with Qc2c. Kurosh reraises, I call

Flop: Jc9s6d
Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call
Turn: 9h
Kurosh bets, I fold

K: 86o

82) I defend with T9o, and scold myself for not reraising more from the BB…this is the hand where it dawned on me. I feel rusty
Flop:9s3s4d
I check, Kurosh checks
Turn: 8c
I bet, Kurosh calls
River: 7s
I bet, Kurosh calls
I win

K: Meh, felt like checking. A6o. Probably bad river call.

Flop: Jh9c3c
Kurosh checks, I throw a curve and check
Turn: 2s
Kurosh bets, I call
River: 7h

Kurosh checks, I bet, Kurosh raises, I call

94) I defend with 3c7c
Flop:Qc8d5c
I check, Kurosh checks
Turn: 6s
I bet, Kurosh calls
River: Td
I check, Kurosh checks. I lose to 69o

K: Tried to flop checking thing again. He doesn't call anything I beat on the river.

I might have also played badly. I should've written down what I thought immediately afterwards. Looking at it now, it looks like I made a lot of stupid bluffs. I think I did a good job mixing up my play.

1) I raise J4o from the SB. Kurosh defends
Flop: Kh7h4s
Check, I bet, Kurosh folds

K: JTo here. I don't want to mess around with no read, so I just let it go.


[/ QUOTE ]

Not to nit pick right off the bat but I def 3 bet that hand 1 and try to establish you wanna punish him for raising any two.



[ QUOTE ]
2) I defend with 4c3c
Flop: Kh6h3s
I check, Kurosh bets, I raise, Kurosh calls
Turn: 7
I bet, Kurosh calls
River: 7
I bet, Kurosh calls
I lose to A6o

K: I call down because it's more important to me to see his hand than possibly gain an extra bet when he has a weaker 6. He probably pays off a 3 too, but air and a K will get me nothing.


[/ QUOTE ]

Weak weak weak. Def get more out of flopped 2pTk vs Dougie. He can't have TP unless he's playing me in which case he has it every hand.

[ QUOTE ]
8) Kurosh raises, I reraise with A5o, Kurosh calls.
Flop: J63r
I bet, Kurosh calls
Turn: T
I check, Kurosh bets, I call
River: 8
I check, Kurosh bets, I ponder and fold.
That hand felt pretty bad.

K: I was planning on raising the turn regardless, but I had QT here.

[/ QUOTE ]

Kurosh, notice that so far when you have had something you've called called called. What reaction are you hoping for from Doug when you finally raise him instead of calling? It feels like a bluff "it's the only way I can win" move to me when you hold off till the turn. At least, based on the first hands. I think you'd be better off going fast on the flop if you are going to try to bluff this pot. I think you'll have more credibility there (others w/experience chime in with your own thoughts on this analysis of mine).

[ QUOTE ]
At this point, I’ve noticed his bets are either auto-bets, or very quick bets. It’s like he wants me to know my actions and board texture are unimportant to him.

[/ QUOTE ]

When I played you Doug I noticed once or twice I took longer on the turn in genuinely tough spots. After the second time I started intentionally delaying in some not so tough spots just in case you noticed what my first delays had meant, just in case I got any more difficult spots where I wanted more time to think.

Ok now we're getting a more coherent and dynamic postflop plan, Kurosh.

Bad board texture for K8 call down IMO cuz most of his FOS hands hit the board...


Aight maybe will go through the rest of the hands later... Quitting around 40.

I don't like 3-betting OOP the first hand when I have no idea what his postflop tendancies are with a weak hand.

I raise the turn a lot with any pair, but yeah, I suppose he hadn't seen that yet. He calls down any pair, but I think I can get him to fold K-high and probably A-high with a turn raise.

That K8s hand is pretty bad. I dunno what I was thinking. I just wrote up those comments and it's been a few days since the match.

Eeek, I'm late. I'll elaborate later.

gonores,

i read most of this hand history and i think you bluff far too infrequently. i think you should be check-raising much more flops--and not just the ragged ones, IMO. sometimes c/r a scary board is much more convincing.

I'm really surprised at how often I read "I did x for the hell of it/cause I felt like it," or "my river play here was pretty mindless." Was the match plays at ultra fast pace?

Worth one more bet check-raising instead of calling? Or is folding the best option? Calling being the worst?

Won't he at least call the raise if he hold any piece of the board, including a lone diamond?

hand 4 looks pretty bad, kurosh. I highly doubt that you will win very much when he calls the river, and calling the raise is even worse.

You know that though. Ok on to the rest.

hand 15:

I really dont like the river raise. I dont think anyone folds the river there with any pair, and I doubt he is betting A high for value and will call with it.

hand 22:

i dont like the river call kurosh. I think he will correctly interpret your turn check behind as an attempt to get to showdown and value bet any pair on the river. this combined with the dryness or the board should make for a fold. If he was gonna try to run you out of this hand I dont think this is how he would do it.

Like with Schneids, all of this is written by Gonores besides the K:

I must have missed the one with Schneids. The only one I have seen like this is Gonores vs James282 a long time ago. Can you tell me when it took place so I can find it in the archives or link it.

Thanks,
Cartman

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. Here is the link.
