I am the first to admit that I do not play at this level. I’ll do my best to respond throughout the week, and will post my own thoughts as well as results on Friday. Hero bets $220, UTG1 folds, MP raises to $625, Hero? Everyone else folds.įlop ($120 in pot) 7d 6d 3d. Two players fold, and then MP ($1800) calls. Hero ($2000) opens to $35 UTG with 9d 8d. I’m going to skip straight to the major decision in the hand, because I don’t think the others are terribly interesting, but feel free to ask in the comments if other actions surprise you. MP is a recreational player about whom I don’t know much. UTG1 is a pro who plays mostly 5/10, don’t think I’ve ever seen him at 10/25. At the very least, I expect they perceive me as a smart player who won’t take anything off of the table in terms of bluffs, hero calls, thin value, etc. I don’t have a lot of experience with either Villain, but there’s a good chance they know who I am (a lot of people at MDL, many of whom I’ve never spoken to, have turned out to be familiar with the podcast, blog, or Twitter account).
