AA hand from 2+2 mix table

Shillx · #1 11-29-2004, 05:11 AM

For those of you in playing micro games who are looking to improve their game, I highly suggest that you play in 2+2 tables when you get the chance. My line in this hand would be strange in a typical .5/1 game, but I feel like it might be correct given the game conditions.

On to this hand. THe table was about half 2+2er's and half regular party players...they had no idea what was hitting them. Button is a loose-passive (60/2) and has been a donator the entire night. MP3 is a 2+2er who I had never played with before. I think that he had a much harder time adjusting to me then I did to him. His stats were 25/12 over about 150 hands, but he played in a pretty ABC fassion.

So how did I do? Comments appreciated on all streets (the preflop limp-reraise was sort of an inside joke between me and some other 2+2er's, but I still had other valid reasons for doing it).

I probably play this the same...except I bet the river.

The raise from the LP-P player is somewhat scary...I think he might have aces beat - but I still think I bet this river.

Yeah her 3-bet scared me (censored)less. I had the auto-raise button clicked. That is why I checked the river.

Makes more sense now.

How does one find these tables?

I skimmed some money and have dropped back down to 0.5/1.

I don't understand your flop play.

I have a feeling that Button got the last laugh on this one. Flopped set. The other 2+2er probably had AK or high pair not KK and was looking isolate you with the raise. Interested in what the results were.

Result:
2+2er had AK
Button had K8
And MHIG

By playing this hand passively, I got MP3 (the 2+2er) to overplay his hand on the turn. By showing strength on the flop, both players probably would have just called me down. The button turn 3-bet really scared me, as you probably figured out.
