3:06am: The live session was yet another card dead affair. Finally, after waiting 5-6 hours to pick up some sort of drawing hand or hand with “possibilities” I picked up Kc10c, on the button, and called a $25 raise in a 6 way pot. The flop came: Qc 9c 4d.
Someone in early position led out for $75, and the original guy who raised called behind him. The call was a no-brainer at this point, and I even contemplated a raise. However, I didn’t want to scare a third person who would potentially pay me off (if it hit) away.
The turn: Kd
The initial bettor checks, and the original raiser bets $75. I decided that my hand is probably no good, but I am indeed priced into this pot from and odds point of view. The other man calls, and we see a river with over a $600 pot.
The river: 2s
Everyone checks to me, and I thought about value betting the King, but it really didn’t make sense. As I’ve discussed before, ONE PAIR usually does not take down pots of this size, so value betting the river would go against that belief, which is usually right more often than it’s not. Having said that, I checked behind everyone, and took it down - as both guys held a queen.
Following that pot, which was the only pot of “significant” size that I won all night, I decided to call it a night and ended the session up $500.
On to some heads up…
*EDIT*, Finished 2-0 in my heads up session. Up $700, and calling it a night. Good luck everyone!
