Here is an interesting set of hands that maximize value from the metagame. I am playing two tables simultaneously. Both tables are 9-handed $3/6NL and many of the players are the same on both.
This is the preamble hand on table 1:
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Fuel55 raises $12 to $18 from EP with [8c 8d]
MP1 calls $18
MP2 calls $18
Victim raises $72 to $90 from the button
Fuel55 calls $72 (not sure if he is squeezing or has a hand)
MP1 folds
MP2 folds
*** FLOP *** [4s 3h 5c]
Fuel55 checks
Victim bets $1147.85 and is all-in (this reeks of AK, AQ, AJ)
Fuel55 calls $866.40 and is all-in (not an easy call but I have to assume I am 3:1 favorite)
*** TURN *** [4s 3h 5c] [Jd]
*** RIVER *** [4s 3h 5c Jd] [Th]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Fuel55 shows [8c 8d] (a pair of Eights)
Victim mucks hand [As Qd] (as expected)
Fuel55 collected $1954.80 from pot
Then about 30 seconds later on table 2, I get into a pot again with the same guy who was the victim above:
*** HOLE CARDS ***
MP raises $6 to $12
Victim raises $30 to $42 from button
Fuel55 calls $39 from SB with [5s 5h] (set mining 101)
MP folds
*** FLOP *** [5d Tc Kh]
Fuel55 checks
Victim bets $78
Fuel55 raises $126 to $204 (I know he is steaming from the hand on the other table so I give him a chance to stack off)
Victim raises $478.35 to $682.35 and is all-in (on queue)
Fuel55 calls $424.35 and is all-in
*** TURN *** [5d Tc Kh] [Kd]
*** RIVER *** [5d Tc Kh Kd] [Qc]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Fuel55 shows [5s 5h] (a full house, Fives full of Kings)
Victim mucks hand [Kc Ad]
Fuel55 collected $1355.70 from pot
Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !! And that kids is how you make serious profit in retardly donktastic $3/6NL on PokerStars.

*** RIVER *** [3c As 5c 8s] [Th]
timewarper checks (he's likely given up)
Fuel55 checks (like a wuss I check since I am not interested in being checkraised on this board)

No lost value since he wasn't calling any bet on the river. At least by checking I could confirm my read (aka lame excuse for checking!).
