Default House Arrest Challenege day 3...



For those of you (if any) that are actually following my challenge, I was on fire today, but the results only look good compared to day 2. In other poker news, I got this stuff in the mail from pokerNOW.


This was the first poker book I ever read, and I only got it because they were out of the Sklansky book. Anyway, thanks to all who have wished me luck so far, hopefully I will turn a profit before this challenge is up. I'm debating on posting some hands, but none are really exciting so I'll spare you.

Edited: Check this hand out

Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $4.
<font color="666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, CO (poster) calls, <font color="CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+1 folds, Hero calls, CO calls.

Flop: (11.66 SB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, CO checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets</font>, Hero calls, CO calls.

Turn: (7.33 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero folds, <font color="CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, Button calls.

River: (13.33 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">CO bets</font>, Button calls.

Final Pot: 15.33 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">

Outcome: CO wins 15.33 BB. </font>

I would have check-raised the flop in this big pot with your very likely best hand/best draw. You're going to be very unlucky if it isn't at least one of those.

I would have jammed the pot on the flop and turn. Maybe $3/$6 is different than smaller stakes, but your T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is often good enough.
