Default Playing A-high at the Best Table Ever

So, I had a really great day today (as in, 120 BB good), which has greatly aided me in my current "build-a-bankroll-from-$50" experiment.

Tonight I managed to find myself at one of the best tables I've played in awhile. The table VPIP was 39, and featured two really big fish: a guy I had at 90/40/3 or something outrageous like that over 20 hands, and another very bad player who loved to argue and though he was much better than he was, though was like 60/5/.6 or something. The table had a 12 person waiting list at 4 am.

In the following hand, UTG is the first villain mentioned. He's a total freak. He had earlier three-bet KQo, proceeded to call multiple bets on a JJx flop and turn, then check-raise bluffed an A river only to call a three-bet from my AJ. So he's nuts.

MP3 is the second villain. The button and SB are like the many masses who make up the Party 2/4.

Final Pot: 13 BB


I'm open to all thoughts.

I like it all given your reads.

Build-a-bankroll-from-$50 experiment sounds weird.

Why not a turn-10BB-at-50/100-into-100k-bankroll instead? [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

The turn bet was magnifique. I would consider 3-betting (edit)pre-flop though I'd probably lean against it. Obviously what I thought about the other players you dont give reads for would decide me.

And ofcourse, you have to call that river.

That's more of a lifetime experiment. This is more of a "teach myself to not but a [censored] and spend my bankroll on food and drink" experiment.

Spending (not playing) over my bankroll is like DEFINITELY my biggest leak as a player... [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Geez you spend ridiculous amounts of cash of food too? I think learning how to cook will be +EV for many 2+2ers.

I don't have the patience for it. When I'm hungry I want to eat not cook, and when I'm not hungry, I want to work or study or watch the game, etc

Nice turn play. I assume if he doesn't raise and you get overcalled, you check and fold a bet from the other guys and check and don't overcall a bet from him?

considering what he has done with King high on a much scarier board, this is actually pretty standard. i would not play it differently; you never know, even maniacs catch a pair of deuces every once in a while so i wouldn't go 3betting the turn or anything(not that it may not be profitable against such a bluffoon, i just wouldn't do it). i think you got just the right amount of action as it played out. NH.
