Near the end of a typical Thursday session of running several hundred big blinds below AIEV I played what is now my largest pot to date at a 600NL table against a big donk. Truly the definition of a session saver. HH below followed by short commentary:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $6.00 BB (6 handed)
SB ($774)
BB ($766.60)
UTG ($982.90)
Hero (MP) ($728.90)
CO ($600)
Button ($825)
Preflop: Hero is MP with K♠, 10♠
UTG calls $6, Hero bets $24, 4 folds, UTG calls $18
Flop: ($57) Q♦, 8♦, 3♠ (2 players)
UTG bets $24, Hero raises to $66, UTG calls $42
Turn: ($189) K♥ (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $114, UTG raises to $892.90 (All-In), Hero calls $524.90 (All-In)
River: ($1466.80) A♠ (2 players, 2 all-in)
Total pot: $1466.80 | Rake: $3
Results:
UTG had Q♠, 7♠ (one pair, Queens).
Hero had K♠, 10♠ (one pair, Kings).
Outcome: Hero won $1463.80
I had played with the villain previously, and over 12 opportunities he had donkbet the flop each and every time which explains my flop raise. After I bink the turn, he was running around 50/20 preflop, so there are very few hands I'm concerned about as I'm fairly certain he's raising KQ preflop (and definitely AK). Since he didn't 3bet the flop, it's very doubtful he has a hand like 33 or Q8. Thus, if I'm behind the only hands that really makes much sense are K8 or KJdd, and he's a complete spaz so he can definitely be playing any type of draw as well as Qx this way.
Moving on, my girlfriend is out of town for eleven days starting tonight. As a result I really have no excuse for not putting in solid volume the next two weekends. During the weekdays I should also have lots of time to enjoy P3P and SC2.
