Hand History for Shorthanded Speed STT (Example of Low M Play)

[Jaded]

To illustrate a few points, history of a game I just played. Hand 1: 48o, fold. Hand 2: ***** Hand 637993150 ***** 15.00/30.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - Sunday, June 03, 2007 3:06:38 PM 5 Player $5 NL Speed (Real/Tournament) Seat 1: error11 (1470.00) Seat 2: Sebii (1380.00) Seat 3: plutonfox (1485.00) Seat 4: MrJaded (1500.00) Seat 5: Prinzipess (1470.00) plutonfox post SB 15.00 MrJaded post BB 30.00 ** Deal ** error11 [N/A, N/A] Sebii [N/A, N/A] plutonfox [N/A, N/A] MrJaded [6s, 9c] Prinzipess [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** Prinzipess Call 30.00 error11 Fold Sebii Call 30.00 plutonfox Call 30.00 MrJaded Check *** Flop(Board): *** : [5d, Jh, 7h] *** Bet Round 2 *** plutonfox Check MrJaded Check Prinzipess Bet 30.00 Sebii Call 30.00 plutonfox Fold MrJaded Raise to 180.00 Prinzipess Fold Sebii Fold *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 210.00 error11 Fold Win: 0.00 Sebii Fold Win: 0.00 plutonfox Fold Win: 0.00 MrJaded By default Win: 420.00 Prinzipess Fold Win: 0.00 Check to start off with as the hand is crap and there's 3 in. On the flop, gutshot straight draw is all I have, so I'm almost certainly behind, but 57J can't have hit many people too hard, and prinzi could be trying to protect a flush draw by betting so little. Sebii could be correctly staying in with 2 hearts, or could be slowplaying an actual hand - one way to find out. I bet, getting ready to run for the hills if anyone comes over the top of me, which would have to signal top pair decent kicker at the very least. No one has anything, and a nice profit. Hand 3: T5o, fold. Hand 4: T3o, fold. Hand 5: *** Hand 637997351 ***** 25.00/50.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - Sunday, June 03, 2007 3:09:45 PM 5 Player $5 NL Speed (Real/Tournament) Seat 1: error11 (1110.00) Seat 2: Sebii (1050.00) Seat 3: plutonfox (2625.00) Seat 4: MrJaded (1635.00) Seat 5: Prinzipess (1080.00) error11 post SB 25.00 Sebii post BB 50.00 ** Deal ** error11 [N/A, N/A] Sebii [N/A, N/A] plutonfox [N/A, N/A] MrJaded [7h, 10s] Prinzipess [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** plutonfox Fold MrJaded Raise to 150.00 Prinzipess Fold error11 Call 150.00 Sebii Call 150.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [Qd, 5d, 5c] *** Bet Round 2 *** error11 Check Sebii Check MrJaded Bet 300.00 error11 Fold Sebii Fold *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 450.00 error11 Fold Win: 0.00 Sebii Fold Win: 0.00 plutonfox Fold Win: 0.00 MrJaded By default Win: 900.00 Prinzipess Fold Win: 0.00 T7o, not the greatest hand by a longway, but worth a shot after the first guy folded. Standard 3xBB raise is pretty much the only one I ever use, because it disguises whether or not I have a hand. 2 callers is not what I want to see, but Q55 flop isn't likely to be dangerous. Feeler bet of 300, and they're outta there. Note by this point I'm on nearly 2000 chips, nearly 1/3 up on what I started with, despite my 'best' hand having been T7o. Hand 6: 73o, fold. Will do 6 at a time or so, try and get them done tonight because otherwise I'll forget/lose interest.

Once they're both all in, see ya! Pluton plays it well. Hand 8: 62o, fold Hand 9: Q7o, fold to a 2 x BB raise. Hand 10: **** Hand 638001839 ***** 50.00/100.00 Texas Hold'em (No Limit) - Sunday, June 03, 2007 3:13:42 PM 5 Player $5 NL Speed (Real/Tournament) Seat 1: error11 (2135.00) Seat 2: Sebii (2850.00) Seat 4: MrJaded (1585.00) Seat 5: Prinzipess (930.00) error11 post SB 50.00 Sebii post BB 100.00 ** Deal ** error11 [N/A, N/A] Sebii [N/A, N/A] MrJaded [8d, Ah] Prinzipess [N/A, N/A] *** Bet Round 1 *** MrJaded Raise to 300.00 Prinzipess Fold error11 Call 300.00 Sebii Call 300.00 *** Flop(Board): *** : [Kc, Kd, Qs] *** Bet Round 2 *** error11 Check Sebii Check MrJaded Bet 600.00 error11 Fold Sebii Fold *** Showdown *** : Rake: 0.00 Total Pot: 900.00 error11 Fold Win: 0.00 Sebii Fold Win: 0.00 MrJaded By default Win: 1800.00 Prinzipess Fold Win: 0.00 Decent raise called by 2 people, at this stage I'm guessing they're likely to be on mid pairs, Ax, or 2 high cards. Flop is scary as hell, but on the plus side, if they ARE on mid pairs or Ax, it's very bad for them. If they've got a Q, still has to worry them that I could be on the third K, and a K is unlikely with 2 on, so I'll take the chance of losing 600 if they play me on it. The fact that they both checked means they're presumably either lumbered with crap that missed, or are slowplaying the third K or Q's full of K's. I take the lead and bet out to see where I stand, and they fold - a great result. Hand 11: J3 in BB, fold to a 4 x BB raise from chipleader in SB.

Should've either min raised, or called, and hoped prinzi had something which would get him/her to go in. Still, the chips all help.
