Hero		($150.55)

SB		($50.00)
BB		($29.75)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is CO

2 folds, Hero raises to $1.75, BTN calls $1.75, 2 folds

Standard raise preflop on CO. BTN calls and both blinds fold. BTN seemed very loose passive preflop. I felt he was floating alot on me in position and would try to outplay me post flop with his 1/2 stack.

Flop: ($4.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, BTN bets $4.25, Hero goes all-in $148.8, BTN calls $25

I check intending to raise all in. I sometimes check/fold on draw heavy flops so I try to balance it out by check/raising with big hands/draws. I just check/shoved because he only had $25 left and felt he had to fold a lot of his hands he would do this with (overs, bottom pairs, mid pairs, flush draws, and bluffs) He called and we were basically flipping for $60.

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is SB

UTG raises to $1.5, 2 folds, BTN raises to $5, Hero calls $4.75, 1 fold, UTG calls $3.5

UTG raises and BTN 3 bets to $5. I call on SB with pock Q and intend to check raises a none AKx flop. No real reads on UTG or BTN.

Flop: ($15.5, 3 players)
Hero bets $9, UTG calls $9, BTN raises to $20, Hero goes all-in $58.4, UTG calls $37.1, BTN calls $9.05

Lead with a flop set on a A high flush draw flop. I want to make my hand look like a flush draw by leading out. I also don't want to get this flop check around and see a flush scare card kill my action. UTG calls and BTN mini raises. I shove and get called by both. Very sick cooler.

BB		($32.25)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is UTG

Hero raises to $1.75, 1 fold, CO calls $1.75, BTN calls $1.75, 1 fold, BB calls $1.25

Standard raise UTG. I get CO, BTN, and BB to call. No real reads on CO. BTN seems very tight passive preflop. I think he CC on the BTN with midpairs, suited connectors, and high cards. No real reads on BB.

Flop: ($7.25, 4 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $4.5, CO raises to $15.5, 1 fold, BB folds, Hero calls $11

I bet about a little over 1/2 pot 4 way. CO reraises and it is folded back to me. I thought about reraising but BTN was so tight passive. I thought he might have a set, tptk, or flush draw. I elect to call and evaluate what the turn brings.

Turn: ($38.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO checks

Ugly turn. I check intending to fold to a big bet because it completed alot of str8 and two pair type hands. I felt that if he betted, he would have one pair beat. Luckily he checks behind the turn.

River: ($38.25, 2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $12, Hero calls $12

I check intending to fold to a big bet again. He betted so small that I call hoping to catch a missed flush draw or a thin value bet.

Hero		($55.70)
SB		($38.25)
BB		($19.70)

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 6 players) Hero is BTN

2 folds, CO raises to $2, Hero calls $2, 2 folds

I usually 3 bet this on the BTN but I decided to just CC and outplay him post flop. He seemed quite Laggy and I felt that he would 4 bet me preflop.

Flop: ($4.75, 2 players)
CO bets $3.5, Hero raises to $10, CO goes all-in $49.3, Hero folds

I knock his c bet up to $10 and hope to take it down on a low dry flop. I would play a set this way vs an Lag in position. However, he must of had an overpair and shoved. I think this play works alot against tags/lags who can read hands.

Final Pot: $24.75

CO wins $62.85 ( won +$11.55 )
Hero lost -$12.00

Pre-flop: ($0.75, 4 players) Hero is SB

2 folds, Hero raises to $2, BB calls $1.5

I make it 4x vs the 1/2 stack BB. BB seemed to be loose passive and weak post flop.

Flop: ($4, 2 players)
Hero bets $2.5, BB raises to $5, Hero calls $2.5

I c bet 2/3 pot and get mini raised. I'm never folding to a half stack so I just call and give him rope to hang himself with a bluff or smaller ace. I don't think he has AK because he would usually 3 bet it preflop. He could have a set but I'll just pay him off if he has it.

Turn: ($14, 2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets $5, Hero goes all-in $44.6, BB calls $11.2

A decent turn, and I check to induce a bluff and raise all in.

I check intending to raise it up big on this draw heavy flop. I want to make my hand look like a str8 or flush draw that doesn't want action. BB checks to BTN and he bets/shoves. Easy call with no reads.
