grr, nits

Right, today's session wasn't a whole lot of fun because it basically went grind grind grind grind cooler grind grind cooler grind etc. I think I actually played okay except for maybe a couple hands which will be posted below.

This is like the fourth hand. Checking turn behind to keep queens around and pot control vs trips. Rivered boat o rly. I have to chop about 2/3 of the time here for this to work, plus he might have a queen trying to rebluff. Plus, I mean, quads/royal?

Slowplaying your good hands? Hm, that checkraise seems like a draw. If it's the NFD, kudos, but if not or you actually had a jack go away now.

It looks really gross to call the turn and fold the river brick, but the guy wasn't double barreling his bluffs, meaning that while I think he's checkraising air (granted, could be 97 but I think he leads flop) a lot of the time when he bets the river he's got top pair beat.

At least the turn wasn't the 7d...either he had a ten or a draw on the flop. Or maybe a seven. Betting basically violates the prime rule, so I think just checking behind and calling a river bet on a nondiamond river is best. That four is bad because it gives 86 a straight, too. I dunno what I would've done had he bet; probably crying called but I'm not sure if it's +ev.

Quads you right back, MFer.

Right, so that ended up busting that guy. I nuked two shortstacks and started playing this guy:

Not really a whole lot I can do here. I like checking the turn more than betting because I think he folds all non AK hands if I bet but might bet a queen or maybe KJ or just air. I'm pretty sure folding is just terrible.

This was only interesting because of the minraise on the hand where he had kings up. His line looks bluffy, but I don't think he's aggro enough to call 97 and then shove it, so he either has a ten, which I think is unlikely, or a weakish ace.

Guy was fairly tight postflop, but I'm still not sure about this one. Like, I think he calls ace high once but not twice because that's what most people tend to do, so I don't hate it on the surface, but it still feels spewy. I quit him after this because it was a long session and I wasn't sure if I was playing optimally.
