HANDS

Lately, there's been a trend towards barreling boards that hit one person's range more than another.  I guess tops on the list would be the Axy boards, because most cold callers would have 3bet AK or even AQ preflop.  So when I sat down at a 5/10 game and saw that villain's aggression stats were 2+x normal (on my admittedly limited sample), I knew what was coming.  FWIW, villain looked like a reg preflop.

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $10.00 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

Button ($424.80)SB ($864)
Hero (BB) ($1000)
UTG ($1903.25)
UTG+1 ($1313)
MP1 ($1119)
MP2 ($1597.95)
MP3 ($2255)
CO ($677)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 7, 7
3 folds, MP2 bets $25, 4 folds, Hero calls $15
[Ya.  Normally, set mining oop vs 1 person is bad.  Too bad he made such a tiny pre-flop raise.]

Flop: ($55) A, 5, 7 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $20, Hero calls $20
[I could raise, but what would be the point?  I'm 90% certain he's barreling.]

Turn: ($95) K (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $60, Hero calls $60
[Again, I could raise, but it looks fishier if I wait for him to barrel the river.]

River: ($215) 10 (2 players)
Hero checks, MP2 bets $1492.95 (All-In), Hero calls $895 (All-In)
[So now, I'm wondering, "WTF?!?  Did I just let QJ or TT get there?"  AA and KK seemed unlikely because of the pre-flop raise size (altho I hadn't played enough with him to notice what his standard was).  And I think KK bets more on the flop.  Even if he had those hands, would he really shove river 4+x pot to get value?  Because my hand pretty much should look like a weak Ace that can't call.  Well, too bad for him and his monkey aggression - not enough realistic combos of AA, KK, TT or QJ for me to fold.]

Total pot: $2005 | Rake: $3
Main pot: $2005 between Hero and MP2, won by Hero

Results:
Hero had 7, 7 (three of a kind, sevens).
MP2 had 8, 5 (one pair, fives).
Outcome: Hero won $2002

And that is how you make money at poker with a zero Aggression Factor, Ricky and Ringer.  ;-)
