It’s coming to the end of one of sessions. I see a table with some big pots being played. Averaging at $7 per hand. I decide to opt for a short stack strategy until I get a feel for where the aggression is coming from.
Seat 1: Gene34117 ($21.35 in chips)
Seat 2: fedrozzo ($13.70 in chips)
Seat 3: tomaxito ($12.10 in chips)

*** FLOP *** [Ks 2h Qs]

I don’t have a big hand but in a limped pot it seems good to me.

McKorl: folds
Gene34117: folds
fedrozzo: calls $0.50
*** TURN *** [Ks 2h Qs] [4h]
tomaxito: bets $0.50
Caught in a sandwich here I don’t want to grow the pot but there are now two flush draws and straight draws out there. I’ll just keep it small and see what happens.
Phillberto01: calls $0.50
fedrozzo: calls $0.50
*** RIVER *** [Ks 2h Qs 4h] [4c]
tomaxito: bets $2
None of the draws have arrived. I doubt that 4 has helped him. It now meansa split seem pretty likely so I call.
Phillberto01: calls $2
fedrozzo: folds
*** SHOW DOWN ***
tomaxito: shows [Ts Jd] (a pair of Fours)
He didn’t bet enough to fold a King and picked a bad card to make a move on.

Phillberto01 collected $7.85 from pot
Here we go again.

swiftkatana joins the table at seat #4
sirkubi: checks
Kinsky’s stack size makes this awkward. Heads-Up I would be happy to push. I opt for a small c-bet. I’ll fold to a raise from sirkubi but can call kinski.
Phillberto01: bets $1
kinski72: raises $1 to $2
sirkubi: folds
Pot odds justify at least a call. I doubt I’m folding much so just call.
Phillberto01: calls $1

kinski72: bets $2.70 and is all-in
I hit one of 15 outs and stack off.

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Phillberto01 [4h 5h]
Gene34117: calls $0.25
fedrozzo: folds
tomaxito: raises $0.25 to $0.50
A speculative call on my part but risk 0.50c to possibly stack him if I hit a surprise hand. Why not.
Phillberto01: calls $0.50
I_muck_smuck: folds
McKorl: folds
Gene34117: calls $0.25
*** FLOP *** [Td 9h 6h]
Gene34117: checks
tomaxito: bets $1.25
A flush draw. Will I make enough if I hit. Doubtful and a pretty loose call.
Phillberto01: calls $1.25
Gene34117: folds
*** TURN *** [Td 9h 6h] [7d]
tomaxito: bets $1
That looks weak to me. Two flush draws on the board. One to a straight if he had it I think he would protect his hand. Even if he has a ten it may be a difficult call and I still have 15 outs. I think my fold equity is good here.
Phillberto01: raises $13.50 to $14.50
tomaxito: folds
He ponders calling so he has something but folds.
Uncalled bet ($13.50) returned to Phillberto01

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Phillberto01 [Ts Tc]
fedrozzo: calls $0.25
tomaxito: calls $0.25
Phillberto01: raises $1 to $1.25
A big blind less than my normal raise. I’d like to get some money in but not much before I see a flop given the stack sizes.
I_muck_smuck: folds
McKorl: folds
Gene34117: folds
fedrozzo: calls $1
tomaxito: calls $1
*** FLOP *** [8s 9c 5d]

Well the flop couldn’t have been much better. No point in messing around.

Not a great call but I think he was still pissed off about being folded off the last one.
Phillberto01: shows [Ts Tc] (two pair, Tens and Fives)
Phillberto01 collected $13.15 from pot
