High Stakes Action

November 9, 2010, 10:40 pm

I promised to start posting some hands from my daily sessions so here's the first one.  I was playing $10/20 NL against a decent lineup.  The player in question here was another pro running 22/16 with an 8% 3bet.  We didn't have much history at this point but since we were somewhat deep at over 200 big blinds each, I read his smallish 3bet to be weak, so I decided to 4bet bluff.  Surprisingly he min-5bet me so I figured I'd take a flop given it was only $300 more and $1250 already in the pot.  I hit my bank card on the flop and given that we had no history I figured a check/call was good to potentially let him keep bluffing.  With less than a pot-sized bet left I wasn't too concerned about building the pot.  Turn checked through and I pushed the river where he snap called with AA.

Not a super interesting hand here but the one thing I'd say can be learned from it is that I'd probably fault the villain in this hand for making such a small 5-bet and giving me odds to call with my pocket pair given how deep we were.  Had he raised a little bit larger I likely would have folded without odds to call.

  • Never a good idea to play aces slow in my opinion, and it really cost this guy. Had a chance to win $1000 but just ended up losing $4000. Sitting that deep, would you suggest 5-betting to about $1000 in his spot? Is shoving out of the question? I generally play shallow stack (40BB), but am looking to start playing at deeper stack tables soon so I need to learn appropriate 4-bet and 5-bet sizes.
