Master

I am the master of my life. Everything I have gone through in life both good and bad I created. Yesterday was one of them days where I went ape shit and lost too much money being stuck in negative land. Bad vibes equal bad times. Life is too short to let negativity slip in.

I mean shoot this blog is titled Positivity & Poker for a reason.

I will stay positive.

Thin call down here?

$0.50/$1 Ante $0.25 No Limit Holdem • 6 Players

Generated by weaktight.com.

Hero	$104.75
UTG+1	$100
CO	$261.10
BTN	$105.25
SB	$164.13
BB	$100

Pre-Flop ($3, 6 players)Hero is UTG

Hero raises to $4, 3 folds, SB calls $3.50, 1 fold

Flop ($10.50, 2 players)

SB checks, Hero bets $6, SB calls $6

I decide to Cbet here for protection and some value. I can XB and bluff catch later but we hadnt played many hands at this juncture.

Turn ($22.50, 2 players)

SB bets $13, Hero calls $13

Here I was a bit confused as to what villain leads. I assume 45 XR so it feels alot like a FD with overs or a Pair+FD. Sometimes it can be a Tx hand trying to protect from a XB I assume.

River ($48.50, 2 players)

SB bets $28, Hero calls $28

Here villain thinks for awhile and bets. I need 27% equity here. Have to think a bit about this. may have been an easy fold in hindsight.

Final Pot: $104.50

SB shows

Hero shows

SB wins $101 (net +$49.75)

Hero lost $51.25

Send it!

Pre-Flop ($1.50, 6 players)Hero is SB

4 folds, Hero raises to $4, BB calls $3

Flop ($8, 2 players)

Hero bets $7, BB raises to $14, Hero raises to $38, BB calls $24

Villain may have a monster but so be it. I have to 3bet here being OOP IMO and given the board texture along with the number of worse Qx hands he can have.
