A few non-holdem hands
Haven't played much lately. Ended up skipping the SCOOP event because I was sick Tuesday and spent all day in bed. Got to play a little this weekend, jumped into 3 different games, here's one interesting hand from each.

Was pretty much goofing around in this game, bought in for the minimum and was killing time during happy hour trying to pick up some Full Tilt points. The player to my left had been pretty aggressive PF, so I wasn't giving him any respect here, I was going to play nice initially but after his raise I figure I'm ahead so I push all-in.
Flop: ($30.95) 6 2 K
Turn: ($30.95) A
River: ($30.95) 7
Final Pot: $30.95
MP2 shows 7 J Q A (two pair, Aces and Sevens)
Hero shows K T J A (two pair, Aces and Kings)
SB shows 9 6 K Q (two pair, Kings and Sixes)
MP2 wins $1.25
Hero wins $28.20
(Rake: $1.50)
I did have the best hand but only 37% going in. I'll take it of course.

CO: $25.00
BTN: $38.10
SB: $16.80
Hero (BB): $43.05
UTG: $19.40
UTG+1: $42.40
MP: $108.65
Pre Flop: ($0.75) Hero is BB with 3 K 9 A
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, MP calls $0.50, CO calls $0.50, 1 fold, SB calls $0.25, Hero checks.
Alright, back in my comfort zone playing some hi/lo.
Flop: ($2.50) A 3 Q (5 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $2, UTG+1 calls $2, MP folds, CO calls $2, SB folds
I flop two pair and a backdoor diamond draw. I have nothing for low, but I'm hoping they all had A2 or 23 and will go away after my $2 bet. I get two callers.
Turn: ($8.50) K (3 players)
Hero bets $5, UTG+1 folds, CO calls $5
Hero bets $5, UTG+1 folds, CO calls $5
I improve to top two. If they're on low draws, I want to make them pay, so I bet $5. One call.
River: ($18.50) 9 (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $12, Hero calls $12
That's a pretty safe card for me. Only TJ got there, an unlikely holding. The lows missed. I do decide to check though, don't think I would extract value from worse. I check, and CO bets $12. Again, JT is unlikely though he could have something Like AQJT or A3JT. Also, I had a pretty weak image at this table. I had been playing pretty tight, not having picked up much hands, and the few times I did find something and raise, someone would shove all-in and I would have to fold. I think it was likely I was being bluffed by a missed low draw. I called pretty quickly.
Final Pot: $42.50
CO shows A 6 Q 2 (HI: two pair, Aces and Queens)
Hero shows 3 K 9 A (HI: two pair, Aces and Kings)
Hero wins $40.40
(Rake: $2.10)
He had AQ, so he made my value bet for me.

3rd Street:
Seat 1: xx xx 7
Hero: K J A
Seat 3: xx xx 6
Seat 4: xx xx 2
Seat 5: xx xx 2
Seat 6: xx xx 9
Seat 7: xx xx K
Seat 8: xx xx 4
Seat 4 brings in for $0.15, Seat 5 calls, Seat 6 folds, Seat 7 calls, Seat 8 folds, Seat 1 folds, Hero calls, Seat 3 folds
I have a one way hand here but i was in late position so I threw in the 15 cents. My cards are for the most part live and I have the A up which will help me represent on 4th if I catch another wheel card. If I pair one of my hole cards my opponents will think I missed.
4th Street: (2.8 SB) (4 players)
Hero: K J A 3
Seat 4: xx xx 2 T
Seat 5: xx xx 2 Q
Seat 7: xx xx K 5
Hero bets, Seat 4 folds, Seat 5 calls, Seat 7 calls
Hero: K J A 3
Seat 4: xx xx 2 T
Seat 5: xx xx 2 Q
Seat 7: xx xx K 5
Hero bets, Seat 4 folds, Seat 5 calls, Seat 7 calls
Everyone else bricked from what I could see, so I bet this. I get 2 calls, but A high could be the best hand right now.
5th Street: (2.9 BB) (3 players)
Hero: K J A 3 7
Seat 5: xx xx 2 Q 3
Seat 7: xx xx K 5 Q
Hero checks, Seat 5 checks, Seat 7 checks
I catch another low card, I should probably bet here and represent a 7 low, but I check and it gets checked to 6th.
6th Street: (2.9 BB) (3 players)
Hero: K J A 3 7 8
Seat 5: xx xx 2 Q 3 J
Seat 7: xx xx K 5 Q 8
Hero bets, Seat 5 folds, Seat 7 calls
Now I do have a legitimate low draw, I have to bet this and represent a low. Seat 5 who I thought could have a flush draw folds, which is a relief, seat 7 stays in. He might have a pair of Ks or Qs, possible a low draw as well, having started out with two baby clubs in the hole.
7th Street: (4.9 BB) (2 players)
Hero: K J A 3 7 8 J
Seat 7: xx xx K 5 Q 8 xx
Hero checks, Seat 7 checks
I pair my J but I can't value bet this, I check it down.
Final Pot: 4.9 BB
Hero shows K J A 3 7 8 J (HI: a pair of Jacks)
Seat 7 mucks 6 5 K 5 Q 8 2
Hero wins 4.7 BB
(Rake: $0.20)
Nice river suckout by me. Pretty successful weekend, winning about $35 playing 3 short sessions.
