Hands from an EX-multitabler

AEKDBet · #1 06-14-2005, 03:48 AM

A little background info:
Used to play real actual thinking poker, then I sadly became a multi-table whore. Finally this June I took the advice of this forum and stopped all the crazy 10 table crap and got back to poker. Best advice ever. I hardly ever posted hands before but am trying to change that bad habit as well.

All hands are 400 NL party 6 MAX. FWIW hands 2 and 4 deserve the most attention.

 Hand 1 

Villain has been overbetting pots. Way too aggro, no one has caught a hand against him yet.

Hero ($479)
SB ($441)
BB ($318.3)
UTG ($948.39)

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2.
UTG calls $4, Hero raises to $20 - an bit of an overbet against UTG limper. Does anyone have a problem with this?

2 folds, UTG calls $16.
Flop: ($46) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG bets $80, Hero calls $459 (All-In), UTG folds.

Final Pot: $585

Background - I am going to have a hard time defending this play, but here goes. This was a very fast table, villain was taking large stabs at far too many pots, and following up with hefty continuation bets.

My image is rock solid.

MP ($372.2)

(Fold preflop.... yeah yeah)
