A good session of 4/4

$4/4

Fortunate situations

9handed..
Wait, no point in showing this one, my AA vs KK.

9handed
Hijack, CO, button, SB call
I check in BB w/ AdQd

5d 6d Td !

CHECK..checks to button who bets $9
I call, CO calls

5d 6d Td Kh

CHECK.. checks to button again who bets $47
I call, CO calls

5d 6d Td Kh 2h

CHECK.. checks to button again who bets $80
I raise all-in to $335
CO folds
Button has me covered and calls, Jd7d

Blind battle

8handed
SB (me) 8h7c I call
BB checks

Jc 4h Th

Check, check

Jc 4h Th 9d

I bet $6
He raises to $18
I reraise to $36
He calls

Jc 4h Th 9d 2d

I bet $80
He calls and shows 94o

I'm slightly concerned with Q8 but there's a much higher chance he has two pair, a set, or my hand.

I'm proud of this hand because I knew what my opponent had by the turn.

9handed
UTG+1 calls
UTG+3 raises to $17
Hijack, SB (me) w/ 56h, BB calls

3h Td Jh

Checks around.. at this point I'm pretty sure the raiser has AKo or JJJ.

3h Td Jh Qh

I bet $40
UTG+3 calls

3h Td Jh Qh 2d

I bet $160
UTG+3 thinks and calls, shows AK


7handed
UTG calls
UTG+1 (me) w/ TT raises to $18
Only UTG calls

5c Qs Qd

Check, check

5c Qs Qd Ts

He slightly delay checks. At this point I figure him to have a hand like QJ or a slowplayed KK/AA.
I bet $40
He calls

5c Qs Qd Ts 9h

He checks
I bet $150
He calls and shows AA


This next hand is an example of moves I've been making more and more. So far they've been going well, I don't take down every pot but many of them I do.

9handed
UTG calls
CO (me) 33, SB calls

5h Js 9c

Checks around

5h Js 9c 8c

SB bets $4
UTG calls $4
I raise to $24
They fold

This type of play used to get me into more trouble especially if they call on the turn. I would then almost always bluff the river but I've gotten much better at knowing when my opponents are stubborn and can't get away from the hand.

Donk plays

These are a few donk plays. The first hand speaks for itself. However, hand two upsets me because not only can I not fold, but I move all-in. At $4/4 and up, hands like this that aren't laid down are the difference between breaking even (maybe even being a losing player) and showing profit.

9handed
UTG calls
UTG+2 raises to $18
CO (me) w/ AA, UTG calls

4c Th Qc

Checks to me
I bet $35
UTG raises to $200
UTG+2 folds
I go all-in for $516 and have him covered
He calls $122 and shows K7o

4c Th Qc Kd Ts


9handed
UTG, UTG+2 (me) 44, button, SB call
BB checks

5h 4h Qd

Checks to me
I bet $15
Button and SB call

5h 4h Qd 3d

Check
I bet $50
Button calls
SB raises to $165
I run out of time after thinking and praying for 54 and move all-in for $331 total
Button folds
SB calls w/ 6d7d

5h 4h Qd 3d 2d

$867, bad.
