I thought about simply posting a photo of this board on the outset (forgoing the strat aspect), which should tell you that it was already photo worthy. However, I would actually be interested in finding out if people might have taken a different line with this hand...
Playing $.25/.50 NL, currently 8 handed late in the 8 hour session. There's more than the usual "limped" pots tonight (a tad soft), but if someone makes a reasonable bet, there's plenty of people who will call. Opening bets have been varied from $1.25 to $3.50 for bigger hands. a few occasions the betting has opened up in the $8-$10, but this was rare. I've had nights where nobody opens for anything less than $5, but tonight is different for whatever reason.
OK, cast of characters/action:
Button: New player (not a lot of experience playing against this guy). He's been up and down, and is into the game for $100. His stack is currently $100. He's semi-agro, but has been getting all the monster hands (boat over boat, boat over nut flush, flopped quads over boat, just crazy. The fact he's not in possession of ALL the chips leads me to believe he has a few leaks, despite being a decent player. I don't think he's a very cerebral player, and just goes on instinct and has gotten extremely lucky on getting the upper end of a ton of coolers.
UTG: Old Nit Charlie: Somewhat nitty, but solid regular player to my game. Usually has it when he bets. He's played a lot, and usually does well. Plays TAG for the most part, but is capable of mixing it up some. He's currently sitting on $100 on his second buyin (in for $100). ONC is UTG and limps for $.50.
Limps around to hero:
Hero: Loose table image, sitting on $150 on a $40 bi. Hero was up big, but experienced several hours of card dead and was close to even 20 mins ago. Hero is now on a mini-heater picking up crazy monster hands. The last five hands have been all top tier starting hands, so hero is opening, and I'm hoping people aren't going to give hero credit for having monsters. Hero is in the LP and looks down at
. Around 5 limpers in the hand so far, B, sB and bB yet to take any action.
Hero bets $4.00, button and ONC calls (~$14-15 in the pot).
Flop comes
ONC checks, Hero is betting, but how much?
