The duo are back

Well, the Sng god is back from Thailand and shared his experiences with me. Been a while since we last met up, went for a game at Andy's place, was rather interesting as we playing 7 handed, as we usually go to a full ring game. The host, Andy, was very gracious, providing loads of drinks on the house and not asking for any contributions at all. It's a very cosy setting, a table that can comfortably sit 7-8 people, has a green blanket which is really like felt, shall ask him where he bought it. Thought there's no aircon, there's 3 fans blowing at us so no problem there.

So we played 1/2 blinds for the night, played about 4hours only, but boy was there action. Andy's friend came slightly later, so we started off 6 handed, loads of preflop stealing, with Jason being a total irritant always stealing my blinds as he sat to my left. Let me go through one of the major pots i played.

I was UTG, i limped in, Jason folded, Danny folded, Aggro raised to 10, Andy called, SB, BB and I called.
I had TcTd.
Flop, 368, all hearts.
SB check
BB check
I check
Aggro check
Andy bets 75
SB and BB folds
Bao Ying folds out of turn while i was thinking.
I had about 335 left in front of me, Andy had about 370
Well, with a bet of 75, i was certain he didn't have a flush, so i pushed it all-in.
I was right, he showed 36, and thought about it for like 15mins before decidng to fold.
That 15mins seemed like the whole night to me man LOL.

Last hand of the night,
I was in the on the button, called Aggro's raise to 12 and was heads up.
I had JQo
Flop 3dTdks
Aggro bets 50
I call

Turn Jh
Aggro bets 100
I call

River Th
Aggro goes all-in for 160
I fold

Felt he was on a flush draw, but that all-in at the end kinda gave it away or i would've called. He repeated all-in 3 times (LOL) think he thought i didn't hear him or something but he was really confident so i figured he at least had a T at the end. After the game he revealed that he had a full house, T3. Well, at least Jason and I ended the night in the green. Of course Jason went on to nag that its so -EV to play live for him and felt that it was rather boring. Who can blame him right?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The next day, Andy invited us to go back for another session, as expected Jason felt that it was -EV for him to only play one table at a time let alone to see this whole cards once every 10mins and stayed home to grind. So i went alone with CW and Daniel, my dear neighborhood mates whom I have met recently and have built quite a nice friendship with.

It was 6 handed, same guys -Jason, same blinds.
Let me share some memorable hands.

Hole cards AcKd

Daniel folds
Bao Ying calls
Dealer, Danny calls
SB, Andy folds
BB, CW raises to 32
I call
Bao Ying and Danny folds

Flop 9hJh4c
CW bets 50
I gave it a nice thought.
He had only 110 left.
But i was pretty sure he was holding the way hand or was drawing for a flush.
But i felt he was rather committed and might have called if he was on a draw.
Being the donkey I am, I gathered up the couraged and went all-in for about 160 more.
CW folded.
Whew :)



Another memoriable hand
I limped UTG with JdJh.
Bao Ying raised to 12
Andy calls
I raised to 42
Bao Ying moves all-in for about another 120 more.
Andy thinks for a while with his 33 and folds.
I only had about 90 left and called.

Bao Ying shows 9d9c
Flop was TcQc7s
