I've mostly taken a break from SHLHE for the past few months, but I decided to play some tonight, so here's the first of a number of interesting hands...


Bodog 8/16 LHE (5-handed)

Cobalt is SB w/ A A . Second hand at the table, so no reads.

Pre-flop:
UTG raises, 2 folds, Cobalt 3-bets, 1 fold, UTG calls

Flop (7 SB): 9 9 4 (2 players)
Cobalt bets, UTG calls

Turn (4.5 BB): K (2 players)
Cobalt bets, UTG raises, Cobalt 3-bets, UTG caps, Cobalt calls

River (12.5 BB): 5 (2 players)
Cobalt checks, UTG bets, Cobalt calls

Final Pot: 14.5 BB

I like it, but then again I play 1/2.

it's unfortunate it was only the 2nd hand, otherwise I would've bet the river or check-raise for value

since:
the way he played, doesn't look like a flush
I'd be surprised if he raised utg w/a 9 in his hand
just looks more like KJ,QK,orAK to me

Standard.
