Two hands for your amusement/critiques. Both from Friday night at the Foxwoods 1/2 game. Hero is in the 2 seat, different villains in each hand.
Hand One
Hero [$350] is in the SB w/ 8
7
Villain 1 [$280] is in seat 3. Nice but mediocre college kid.
Villain 2 [$300] is in seat 10. Decent unimaginative player.
The rest of the table has their initial buy in or less ($100).
2 limpers, Villian 2 raises to 15, Button calls, Hero calls, Villain 1 calls.
Flop [$66] 9
6
4
Hero checks, Villain 1 checks, Villain 2 bets $25, Button folds, Hero calls, Villain 1 raises to $50. Villain 2 folds(!). Hero calls.
Turn [$191] [9
6
4
] T
Hero bets $100. Villian 1 says "That hit you didn't it. I just can't get away from this hand." Villian 1 goes all in [4
4
]. Hero calls and river is a blank.
Hand Two
Hero [$700] is on the button w/ A
9
Villain 1 [$180] is in seat 7. New kid, no real reads.
Villain 2 [$150] is in seat 10. Donkey that I've been itching to get a hand against. He was up to $500 at one point, but donked it all away to other players.
2 folds, Villian 1 raises to 10, 1 fold, Villian 2 calls, 1 fold, CO calls, Hero calls, both blinds call.
Flop [$60] 8
7
3
Villain bets $50, Villain 2 calls, Hero calls, 3 folds.
Turn [$210] [8
7
3
] A
Villian 1 goes all in ($120), Villian 2 calls. Hero calls. Villian 1 is unhappy with my call, and asks if I have a set or 2 pair. I calmly shake my head no. I had put him on an overpair, but apparently he must have had AK/AQ based on his reaction at the showdown. Maybe he still had KK/QQ/JJ. I wasn't worried about Villian 2's hand, so I also thought my A may be good.
River is 5
. Hero scoops the pot. Villian one storms off saying something about donkeys.
