Back to Hold'em

Played some hold'em during happy hour. Sat down at 4 tables of $50 NL, buying in for 50BBs at each table. Other than timing out a few times it was pretty easy. The play was the softest $50 NL play I have seen since the days of Party Poker. The players were all pretty straightforward, they would auto fold to c-bets (even in position) and would rarely bet/raise without a hand. If they did take a shot at a pot they'd shut down on the next street. It was pretty easy to figure out what they had. Here's one such example of a hand: Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold'em - 7 players - View hand 50308 The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter UTG: $50.00 UTG+1: $46.25 MP: $40.95 CO: $50.75 BTN: $198.00 SB: $99.30 Hero (BB): $24.30 Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with K A UTG raises to $2 , 5 folds , Hero calls $1.50 With the UTG raise I elected to just flat call in the small blind and take a flop.

Played a couple of tables on Full Tilt during "happy hour". Here's how it went. Full Tilt Poker $0.25/$0.50 Pot Limit Omaha Hi/Lo - 6 players The Official  DeucesCracked.com  Hand History  Converter CO: $24.50 BTN: $22.75 SB: $47.20 Hero (BB): $23.55 UTG: $26.25 MP: $60.60 Pre Flop:  ($0.75) Hero is BB with A  3  A  J UTG calls $0.50,  MP raises to $2.25 ,  4 folds , UTG calls $1.75 This was a preflop decision. No real reads, I elected to fold. Good? Bad? I know I have AA for high and A3 for low, but I can't say I'm too thrilled with the hand. It's very possible MP could be sitting there with A2xx so one of the aces is gone and my low hand is 2nd best.  Flop:  ($5.25) 9  8  6   (2 players) UTG checks,  MP bets $5.25 , UTG calls $5.25 I would have flopped the 2nd nut low with just an overpair of aces. If I had reraised preflop I would have been forced to get it all-in here. Turn:  ($15.75) 7   (2 players) UTG checks,  MP bets $15.75 ,  UTG raises to $18.75 all
