Presto is Gold (Part 109) and Other Stuff

A 4-hand sequence in 2 orbits at $10/$20, 9-handed:

Hand 1: First I suffer this hand:

*** HOLE CARDS ***
Kilak calls $20
Fuel55 calls $20 from MP with [Ac 8c]
bigN20 raises to $120
zda21 calls $120
Kilak calls $100
Fuel55 calls $100 (damn pot odds)

*** FLOP *** [Qc Ad Jc]
Kilak checks
Fuel55 checks
bigN20 bets $300
zda21 calls $300
Kilak folds
Fuel55 calls $300 (damn pot odds)

*** TURN *** [Qc Ad Jc] [4s]
Fuel55 bets $1,060 (no point check calling – praying for a little fold equity here)
bigN20 calls $654, and is all in
zda21 calls $738.80, and is all in
Fuel55 shows [Ac 8c]
bigN20 shows [Qd Qs] (puke)
zda21 shows [Jd Js] (puke)
Uncalled bet of $321.20 returned to Fuel55

*** RIVER *** [Qc Ad Jc 4s] [7d]
Fuel55 shows a pair of Aces
zda21 shows three of a kind, Jacks
zda21 wins the side pot ($169.60) with three of a kind, Jacks
bigN20 shows three of a kind, Queens
bigN20 wins the main pot ($3,369) with three of a kind, Queens

Hand 2: Then I raise AA and get no action. Fawk!!

Hand 3: But then I get a little Presto redemption against a shortstacked fish:

*** HOLE CARDS ***
zda21 raises to $40 from UTG
Fuel55 reraises to $120 from MP with [5d 5s]
zda21 rereraises to $169.60, and is all in
Fuel55 calls $49.60
zda21 shows [7d 7h]
Fuel55 shows [5d 5s]

*** FLOP *** [Jd 5h 4d] (GIN!)

*** TURN *** [Jd 5h 4d] [3h]

*** RIVER *** [Jd 5h 4d 3h] [As]
zda21 shows a pair of Sevens
Fuel55 shows three of a kind, Fives
Fuel55 wins the pot ($366.20) with three of a kind, Fives
zda21 is sitting out

Hand 4: Then I bust a chump holding Presto and get back to where I was before the A8s hand:

*** HOLE CARDS ***
thorladen raises to $70
Fuel55 calls $70 from CO with [3d 3c]
ICE_NY calls $60 from SB

*** FLOP *** [6h 3h 2s]
ICE_NY bets $360, and is all in
thorladen calls $360
Fuel55 raises to $720 (isolation time ...)
thorladen folds (good boy)
Fuel55 shows [3d 3c]
ICE_NY shows [5c 5d]
Uncalled bet of $360 returned to Fuel55

*** TURN *** [6h 3h 2s] [Jc]

*** RIVER *** [6h 3h 2s Jc] [7d]
Fuel55 shows three of a kind, Threes
ICE_NY shows a pair of Fives
Fuel55 wins the pot ($1,307) with three of a kind, Threes
ICE_NY is sitting out

All is mathematically and karmically OK …

I saw the hand where thor donated 360. Why would you only min-raise him there and not try to get more value? If he's got two hearts you are giving him odds to draw with the min-raise.

Also hand 4 should go under presto is good for ME not YOU category.
