Welcome to

So the past couple of weeks I haven’t had a ton of time for poker so I’ve mainly been playing low limit cash games online when I have some free time. I’ve compiled a list of funny/interesting/big hands that I will be putting up in the next few posts..Below is a couple with some analysis and my thoughts…More to come.

PokerStars Game #9861622377: Hold’em No Limit ($0.50/$1.00) - 2007/05/11 - 17:50:26 (ET)
Table ‘Mimas II’ 6-max Seat #6 is the button

Seat 2: BostonShaker ($56.90 in chips)
Seat 3: Maleck13 ($66.65 in chips)
Seat 4: kolobokk ($110.30 in chips)
Seat 5: jansa720 ($67.85 in chips)
Seat 6: MafiaPrince ($89.80 in chips)
bv2804: posts small blind $0.50

jansa720: raises $1 to $2

*** FLOP *** [5s 7s 8h]
jansa720: checks
MafiaPrince: bets $6
jansa720: calls $6
*** TURN *** [5s 7s 8h] [Td]
jansa720: checks
MafiaPrince: bets $21
jansa720: calls $21 Call kind of scared me but at this point I put him on a spade draw. I didn’t think he had a straight because I feel like he might have just pushed here in case I was on the spade draw…
*** RIVER *** [5s 7s 8h Td] [Jd]
jansa720: checks
MafiaPrince: bets $20 Kind of a shitty card, but I didn’t put him on the straight draw so unless his spade draw had a 9 I think I’m good..By betting here I’m also taking away a very difficult decision if I were to check and he were to push
jansa720: raises $15.85 to $35.85 and is all-in Didn’t like to see that at all, but there was a lot of money in the pot and only $15 more to me to see what he had..I figured that if he had it he had it and I’d be able to look back and see what I did wrong. My river bet is basically committing me to the pot so I called.
MafiaPrince: calls $15.85
*** SHOW DOWN ***
jansa720: shows [3c Ac] (high card Ace) No pair, no draw the whole way….Interesting
MafiaPrince: shows [Tc Th] (three of a kind, Tens)
MafiaPrince collected $134.20 from pot Thank you for the money
*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $137.20 | Rake $3
