Default 2/4 full session, review and enjoy!

This is a session I played a few days ago, and I thought I played well. There were some very interesting hands including heads-up, call down with trips, folding TPTK, busting fish etc. I have earlier reads on both forcewithme9 and jdp131s. So, some hands might look weird at first. Also, the table is a very good mixture of fish, regulars, and aggressive dangerous semi-fish.

Post hands that are interesting here. This session can be very good for discussion. I played this some time aroung 1-3AM in the night, so I still might have made some mistakes.

Fire away!

P.S. Randy, this will be a good candidate for featured cash game play section.

The AQ vs AK hand not involving you was quite hilarious. A hand just brefore that when you held K7s, I think you should have called the river bet if you're checking the turn like that when you do hit. The first hand when you flopped the straight draw with 45o, I like checking behind the turn more than betting since he may have check called with middle pair (which it looked like after you got CRed) and you're simply never going to fold out a Jack on the turn.

Most of it is fairly standard so far, though I think you may be a bit spewy with Ace rag HU.

Loved agext.

I'm at hand 110. You call a lot in places where I would reraise or fold, like with the QTs, there I prefer a fold, and a few hands later you coldcall with 67 suited on button against a cutoff raise where I would 3 bet. You made a good read with middle pair or something when that guy went to war with the flush draw. forcewithme9 looks like a good player, and jimbo beam, apart from one hand I think I saw played iffily, otherwise looks pretty solid.

Regarding calling raises instead of 3-betting or folding, I am trying to change my game a little bit by taking more flops in position against certain players. It's more +EV actually as long as you play flops well. forcewithme9 is really good. Jimbo Beam looked like some one who is accustomed playing high stakes playing smaller stakes.

Can you specify hand number and then your comment? That would be easy for me to follow.

I got to hand 133. Couple questions.

Hand 79, What were your thoughts here? I know that guy is a donk but I'm not sure about the action.

Hand 123, Is this a 'because the board is so dry' type play?

EDIT: Some of the play here is atrocious. Are there reads I'm not picking up? Some of the shorter stacks really are donkeys.

He is not really a total donk. But, it felt like he had a draw there. Also, regarding limping on the button was right against this guy, as he was calling raises anyway, and I didn't want to bloat the pot. Many people limp with suited connectors EP, though they should be raising.

Nope, his bet sizes. Notice his bet sizes in previous hands. He always bet very strong, and then suddenly he goes small, small. He also was slightly less aggressive against after my JJ call down. He probably didn't want to mess with me afterwards. My hand is totally irrelevant. Board is good to raise as well.

You mean, my play or others' play? Most are donkeys, but they are not giving away money as easily as in the lower stakes.

The other players. The bigger stacks all seemed solid but some of the shorter stacks made some real 'wtf' moves.

Anyway, I posted my own replay because no one has really looked at my game critically in a while. The link is [url=http://www.ridgepoker.com/replayer/Replayer/1016:1nux2klr]here[/url:1nux2klr]

If you could take a look at that I'd really appreciate it, if you get time. There's about 20 hands in there of like monkey tilting, but I got back on track.
