A Fun Hand

Over the weekend I struggled, ran fairly poorly, and made around $1k total. Half of it was rakeback, which sucks.

I did however have one really great hand awhile ago, likely on Thursday night against a massive donk. He was running something like 60/20, and loved to bluff overbet rivers. We had recently played a pot where he limped in MP, I raised from the BU with AJ. Flop came AQx and I bet, he called. Turn T, check check. He overbets ~$40 into a $25 pot on the blank river. I call and he shows T7o, I scoop.

I'm not sure how he ran his stack up after the previous hand left him with $50 or so, but note that we are 150BB deep here.

Poker Stars, $0.50/$1 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 8 Players
BTN: $89.75 (89.8 bb)
SB: $127.10 (127.1 bb)
BB: $64.30 (64.3 bb)
UTG+1: $150.50 (150.5 bb)
MP1: $132.30 (132.3 bb)
MP2: $100 (100 bb)
Hero (MP3): $153.95 (154 bb)
CO: $114.45 (114.5 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is MP3 with 3h 3s UTG+1 raises to $2, 2 folds, Hero calls $2, 4 folds

Standard.

Flop: ($5.50) 2s Js Jh (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks

No reason to bet here, especially against a big donk.

Turn: ($5.50) Qh (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero checks

Same as flop, likely no value in betting unless we want to induce a spaz raise and call down, which doesn't seem fun.

River: ($5.50) 3c (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $5, UTG+1 raises to $53, Hero raises to $151.95 and is all-in, UTG+1 calls $95.50 and is all-in

Best river ever. I expected him to raise my river bet with air here a lot, but when he raised so much I got all tingly. When he called my value shove I half expected to see a random Q or something of the sort. Instead he slowplayed three streets with trips only to get owned for 150BB pot on the river. NH sir. Thank God he didn't have quads.

Results: $302.50 pot ($3 rake)
Hero showed 3h 3s (a full house, Threes full of Jacks) and won $299.50 ($149 net)
UTG+1 mucked Jd Th (three of a kind, Jacks) and lost (-$150.50 net)
