PS $500k Full Report w/ hh (Finished 8th)

[Matt24]

Here is my complete hh(any hand I played or anything I felt I probably should have played when the blinds got big, my notes are in bold. I somehow skipped over a few hands, but thats to be expected going through almost 400 hands. This is super long, but if anyone has an interest in it, here it is. A couple people who read my blog wanted it, so figured I'd post it here too. I would like some help on a few hands though, I feel I played pretty badly when the blinds got big, not use to Stars structure at all.

This is the first hand of any note of all. Basically the flop was loaded with draws as was the turn and the T9/AT got there on the turn as well. My river plan was to check to induce a bluff from some busted hearts or busted clubs and I was prepared to pay off a big bet if someone had the nuts as well.

I should have bet this flop, I have no idea why I checked, nor do I have any idea why I checked the turn. Very poor.

I don’t know about this hand at all. The flop was drawless besides for gutshots so he surely has an ace or a set. I may have had the best kicker, but once he fired again on the river, I was pretty sure I was beat.

Would raise here 50% of the time probably, fired on the flop as I figured it missed everyone.

Same hand back to back, this time I decide to limp with it. I lead this flop a lot, but decided to check here and probably just call the flop bet. I didn’t expect him to be checking behind there and I wasn’t sure what to make of it. I should have led the turn, I suck.

I considered calling here as he had a stack I could double through if the flop hit me right and he played that previous hand very weak.

I like to sometimes just call with AA and even KK and let them fire a big bet on the flop and then shove. I reraised here though, no action.
