Made it back to the River Spirit casino tonight. Started at $1/$2 NLHE, where I doubled up while waiting for a LHE seat. Played LHE for three hours and basically broke even. When the LHE table broke at midnight, went back to NLHE, where I went broke (QQ vs 88, flop 877 and we get it AIOTF), re-buy, and then doubled through three times for a nice profit. Still need to work on my game when it comes to big calls. That being said, I did fold ATs on a 3T7r flop where I led the flop for $10 and BTN raised to $40. It was a limped pot where I was in the big blind and checked my option. BTN was a newcomer and I had no read, so I just let it go. Also folded an under-full house on the river to an overbet, meh. The players here are a bit wild and can be hard to read as a result. Pretty much all of my double-ups came from TPTK hands, though, so maybe calling an all in is the right thing to do against wilder players.
For example: I'm the button with QTo. Two limpers, HJ raises to $15, CO reraises to $50, I fold, SB calls, folds back to HJ who goes all-in for $155, CO calls, SB calls. Flop 674r. CO checks, SB goes all-in, CO calls. Turn 7, Riv 2. SB shows 62hh and wins the side pot. HJ shows KK and wins the main. Who calls $155 pre-flop with 62s?
Example #2: I'm the HJ with AQhh. 4 limpers, I raise to $12. 5 callers incl both CO and SB. Flop 244hh. I bet $25, 3 callers. Turn Ad. Checks to me, I bet $60. CO calls, SB and MP fold. River 9s. I bet $75. CO calls and shows A5o.
Still feeling my way through it all as I'm more of a LHE player and don't have much history with the NLHE crowd. Mainly just happy that I'm not playing scared and showing good results so far.
