Table Talk on Tuesday

2-5 nl at MS. Three lags at the table. What is it about Tuesday nights that brings out the wolves? Of course, the big superstack even at the Sun started on Wed.

I posted a straddle, but intended to make it my last hand of the night. I have 450$
utg +1 limps with only 80$ behind. folded to lag on button with 600$ he raises to 55$ all fold.

I find black 10s in the straddle, I call, utg calls with his 25$ behind...

Flop Q 9 2. I donk for 100$, utg calls, button calls. oh brother.

Turn is low card. I don't like how this hand is playing out but I didn't want to give a free card to AK or a str8 draw or whatever wild hand he could have.

I bet 150$, and he says "Well, I guess you have me but I think we'll just put the rest of it in."

I insta-folded. I wonder if I should have pretended to think about it, or grabbed my turn bet back and sprinted out of the room.

River 8. LAG turns over a set of 9s and limper mucked. SHould I have counter blasted pf??

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

- A few hands hands later The Lag (A) opens for 25 from late position. I look down at AJo and shove all in over the top. Now I get to give a speech "Well, send me home." He said 'you probably got me' and called with KJo. Got me a trip to double upsville, and more importantly went off tilt from the 1010 hand.

- A half hour later, that took on lag B. B raised to 30 and A called. Flop Qc Qd Jd. check, B bets 200$ (full moon I think) A check raises all in for about $1,000 total.

B thinks about it and then calls with black AA. To his dismay the board comes Qc Qd Jd Jc 10d.

A shakes his head, flashes the 6d and mucks and leaves, B finished his 3 hour session with about $3.2k in his stack.

Gotta be the full moon.

Yes, repop it preflop (~$200 or just shove) so your postflop commitment decision is a lot easier. (Maybe you even shove dark if he calls $200) Bottom line is: You're out of position with a strong hand against a maniac and would like to see more money go in preflop.

As played I check the flop. This and the JJ hand are tough spots no matter what.

Hmm. If I check the flop he c-bets nearly 100% of the time. I guess this is why the earliest aggressive path usually sounds like the correct one.
