So I have been reading all about 3betting light and right before I hop into a session I read a 2p2 thread about blind stealing and basically raising the shit out of the button. Anyways I get in the game with this crazy mind set to play real aggressive and man did it backfire. 1st table I sit at I get 72s in BB and flop flush. HU pot I pot flop, over bet turn and river only to be called by 89s for a better flush. Next hand 88. Suited board no 8 I bet flop insta call. Turn, insta call. off suit 8 on river hello set. I over bet like a donk. Honestly if he doesnt beat my set I doubt he calls unless he has a PP and puts me on a bluff. Yup he turned a set of Queens. Insta stuck, ok regroup no big deal. Table breaks and I attempt to regroup. Was 3 betting way to much and even made some insane 4bets when I was 3 bet. After all was said and done 4hrs 1000 hands
-190. Not too bad. I did have a few suckouts when I got it in ahead so even after donking the shit out of it and feeling out the 3bet and 4bet play I am not that disappointed. Here are a few of my failed attempts.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1259112 me thinking I am muddywater. Honestly my play wasnt that bad in my opinion just probably unessecary. Also this guy was a super fish as you can tell by the call I could have just picked a better spot.
http://www.pokerhand.org/?1259115 insane flop play. min bet reraise? WTF? Can you say no FE. I simply should call and check fold my missed draw.
If only i was always thinking through hands am playing them this well. http://www.pokerhand.org/?1259116 Villian was 45/9/2 or something. It checks to the river and I decide to value bet as I feel I have the best hand as this point and might get a call from JJ or 1010. I didnt think the C/R villian had the goods as he was pretty agro and I dont see how he checks all three streets with a better hand then me.
When 4 bets go wrong http://www.pokerhand.org/?1259119 , http://www.pokerhand.org/?1259121 .
After looking at just how poor I played tonight I did pretty fucking good all things considered and I got to play in some insanely sticky spots which will help me for the future. What a fun fucking job this is. Even if I lose money when I go to work. I may have lost 200 but overall this session was way +EV. Figure that out.

I think your crazy, but I like it. The light 4 bets are a little more than I want to get into at the stakes we are at. But I like what you are doing with lighter 3 betting and more btn aggro. Keep it up.
H2: If you ignore the minrase = monster, you'll like pay for it.
H3: Doesn't checking the flop negate half the point of the aggressive three betting?
H1: When the fish sees a hand he sticks with it. A good play if it was a normal player. A tad risky though but in the long run it should work.
H2: Minraise and getting the odds would be calling. How ugly it might be.
H3: As mentioned by Rasputin or were you worried that he might have had the ace?
4-betting, I wont be doing that without the goods (on my level)
Hand 1: There are definitely better spots. I can't believe his play tho' it's pretty bad.
Hand 2: Yep calling and check folding looks good to me too.
Hand 3: I agree w/ Rasputin, maybe a flop bet is good here. They did check to you, and folding to a C/R wouldn't be hard.
Hand 4 / 5: These will definitely add up.
Btw: Please add me to your blogroll. Thanks!
Hand 1: 3-betting A9s vs a UTG raiser?
Hand 2: I think I just call along on the flop and hope to get paid by a worse draw or a poorly played monster. Just bet strong when you hit the turn.
Hand 3: Nice read. Flop bet would probably make things easier though.
I think those are bad hands to 4-bet, but I have no idea how to play 4-bet pots.
ps, I don't even like the open with K9o, especially deep. Unless the blinds were tight and your image was decent.
