As Promised, Some Non-Bad-Beat Hands

Holdem manager has a nice mark hand feature which allows hands to be marked for viewing later. Yesterday I played 2k+ hands and couldn't find anything interesting when I did a cursory view. It's easy to find big pots, but ones that were medium sized that seemed interesting in the moment are harder to locate. So here are some I marked recently.

In this hand I raise to isolate the fish on the button, adn get called by the other fish in the bb. He plays 67/8/4 in a small sample. On the flop and turn he makes baby bets, and I assume as a rule that from a bad player that means he has bottom or middle pair. If the board hadn't paired 6s on the river I'd have likely value bet. I wonder whether I'm a sucker for not betting the turn, in fact.


I feel like this one is a typical spew. In the bb the player is 63/13/1. She calls on the flop and I guess she has a queen. I was wrong and she was stronger...but still with those numbers I don't know why I should assume she'll even lay down a queen. Dumb river bet imo.



Finally this one, which I'm kinda proud of. Folds to me on the button. The blinds are both under 20%vpip in 150+ samples, and both fold BB 80% of the time. The table is tight and I'm bored so I go for the steal. The BB 3bets and yuck, b/c I have 24, you may notice. But I look a bit deeper and see that he's 3bet out of the blind a whopping 16% of the time. Not that I needed stove to tell me, but when I look now, I see that includes such hands as KTo, QJo, Q9s, A5s, 66. I think most of the time he has a relativelyl junky hand, and I know that Holdem manager has informed me that I 4bet too infrequently. So...
