Tenbob Session Pt. 1

Sorry for the amount of time, I've been real busy, haven't even played much poker myself apart from the team games recently, but I've done half of them, only important hands included here. Didn't figure I should include hands where you fold 95o UTG.

This is interesting. Not a lot of money at stake but after the flop check you probably have the best hand just against the BB. I may tend to checking
this turn as well, just because this bet simply folds out what we beat and gets calls from what we don't. A check here may induce a bluff on the river
from a worse hand but then we'd have to commit to paying off better hands, which we're doing here already (a call from a better hand or raise and we
can't really continue). You won the hand, and at worse it costs you $2, but I think a check would be better here.

This is where I wouldn't mind a preflop raise. We're likely to miss the flop and the call shows some weakness preflop. I assume we're not calling
a preflop raise, so we may as well put the bet in preflop. Most of the time we pick it up right here (and we save rake, although that's negligable),
and if we get call we've got a decent enough hand that we could hit the flop. As played it's ok but I still prefer the raise preflop here.

This is a good fold, something a lot of people mess up on. People will get married to their top pair not realizing that there are people in preflop
and there could easily be future betting. Lots of strange 2-pair hands are possible as well as sets. As it played out, you actually had the best hand
on the flop, but first off you didn't know that, and second off you had no idea what turn would help any of your opponents, and if an over or an 8
comes, you have no idea what to do. So good fold.

If you hadn't explained this, I'd be wondering what the hell you were doing here. Apparently you thought you had a set, but really had nothing but a gut
shot straight draw. So as played this is horrible, but I think you already know this. If this were a set though, I really like how you played this.
you slowplay the flop, and because of the check behind you put out an almost pot sized bet. This looks a lot like a steal attempt and will likely get
called by anything decent. If they don't have anything decent you're not getting any money here anyway. Of course first you should learn to read the board
But in the future you can also use this play because they've seen you make a crazy bluff with air.

Good play, decent hand with decent position. You hit the flop, the idiot with QT calls the cbet and the all-in after turning 2nd pair.
My one comment here would be the turn bet though. I agree we don't want to check here, we're practically pot committed because of his stack,
and letting the opponent make the decision whether to put it in or not is bad, but I would actually make a smaller bet here. We're committed,
no matter what the river brings we want it all-in, so why not make like another $6 bet on this turn and put it all in on the river?
Not a horrible play here but we are getting FE here that we actually don't want because we're not folding out any better hands

preflop toss-up between call and 3-bet. Fine as played, hit the flop and take down the pot. Depending on reads you may want to check-raise here, because
you get more when he bluffs and find out you're beat if called or raised.

Well played, with this flop we're only really worried about overpairs. He's most likely cbetting with just 2 overs and we take the pot down right here

Is the reason we don't play this WA/WB because villain's range is mostly unpaired overcards that have 6 outs against us, plus the possibility of a flush draw?

Just makin' sure.

^^^^ c9, i dont think we can count this as a wa,wb situation, since we generally need to protect against those overs. If an overcard hits on the turn such as a jack, suddenly we have no idea where we stand in the hand. I prefer raising and taking it down

Good play, decent hand with decent position. You hit the flop, the idiot with QT calls the cbet and the all-in after turning 2nd pair.
My one comment here would be the turn bet though. I agree we don't want to check here, we're practically pot committed because of his stack,
and letting the opponent make the decision whether to put it in or not is bad, but I would actually make a smaller bet here. We're committed,
no matter what the river brings we want it all-in, so why not make like another $6 bet on this turn and put it all in on the river?
Not a horrible play here but we are getting FE here that we actually don't want because we're not folding out any better hands

This guy if i remember was a total donk, I was semi-hoping that he would decide to make a stand on the turn and shove will little or no FE. It was something he'd been doing on the table, shoving on weak turn bets. More a read dependant play.
