On my immediate left is an off duty dealer who I would think is very familiar with my play. When ever I raised preflop, he would make it three bets. He has seen me fold quite a few times after raising and getting three bet. Of course with him I adjust by tightening up my raising range and open up my three bet calling range.
Depending on how often you open raise, and how often he three bets you, I'd be considering 4 betting him on occasion as well.
Or, perhaps finding a different table. :p
I should have just asked for a seat change button and gotten him to my right. I used to ask for a seat change button the minute I sit down at a table. If a better seat opened up, I'd move to it. I've gotten lax and need to get back into that habit.
Anyways here is a hand from tonight's session that I picked to do my off table work. 2-10 spread. Table is 8 handed. Suits don't matter in this hand. UTG("under the gun"/first to act) limps. I make it 12. Young kid on button calls. UTG makes it 22.
I have AQo and I call, kid calls.
No reads on the young kid. UTG....some gal who I don't think likes me very much because every time I enter a pot, its been for 12 and she has had to muck after limping in for 2. She was a little mad that I didn't chop with her earlier(I don't chop....ever). I have seen her play before...I note that she calls way too much but can be aggressive and tricky.
Flop: J T 9, UTG bets($10), I call, kid calls.
Turn: a brick, UTG checks, I bet($10), kid calls.
River: a brick, UTG checks.......
Pot is about $126
The pot is big, but I whiffed it. I have feeling UTG whiffed it too. Its the kid I am worried about the most. I bet it hoping they both fold. At the time I figure if they both fold 10% of the time, the bluff breaks even. If they both fold more than 10% of the time, the bluff makes money. Off table I figured the bluff bet breaks even if it works 7.3% of the time. The break even formula for a bluff(if anyone is interested) is: Bet/(Bet + Pot).
Anyways kid folds, UTG calls. I turn over AQo making a comment "If you can call me you have me beat"....and she mucks! I'm shocked as the pot gets pushed too me. The kid realizes he folded the best hand...but takes it pretty well.
What hand(s) do you think she mucked?
My guess:
My 3 bet/over the top range with this gal got a lot wider.
