August 12 & 13 hands

Three hands above 80BBs for the last two days. Luckily they've all been winners. I tend not to get stacked too often with my style, which is great.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.50/$1 Blinds - 5 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com http://www.legopoker.com/hh)

SB: $151.35
BB: $43.10
Hero (UTG): $105.00
CO: $154.45
BTN: $90.50

Preflop: Hero is dealt Kd Kh (5 Players)
Hero raises to $3.50, 2 folds, SB raises to $10.50, BB folds, Hero raises to $30.00, SB calls $19.50

This guy was a total fish playing around 70/15. I thought about flat calling, but that makes it so much harder to get it in post-flop. I alos wanted to get as much in pre-flop so he'd make bigger mistakes post-flop.

Flop: ($61) 4h 2d 8s (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $36.00, SB calls $36.00

Fantastic flop - any 99-QQ has to be felted for him now.

Turn: ($133) Qh (2 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets all-in for $39.00, SB calls $39.00

Easy turn push. Nice hand sir.

River: ($211) Kc (2 Players - 1 All-In)

Pot Size: $211.00 ($3 Rake)

SB had Ah Jc (Ace King high) and LOST (-$105.00)
Hero had Kd Kh (three of a kind, Kings) and WON (+$103.00)

Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $1 BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from http://www.flopturnriver.comFlopTurnRiver.com (Format: Plain Text)

CO (Villian) ($100)
Button ($123.30)
Hero ($108.10)
BB ($108.15)
UTG ($104)
MP ($98)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Kd, Kc.
2 folds, CO (Villian) raises to $3.5, 1 fold, Hero raises to $14, 1 fold, CO (Villian) raises to $45, Hero raises to $122.1 (All-In), CO (Villian) calls $58.50 (All-In).

This villian is a solid Cardrunners member and I was really worried when he put in a 4-bet pre-flop. I seriously considered folding, but I felt he probably knew I was a solid player and could be 3-betting lightly to his button open. I didn't see any point in calling and shoving / check-raising the flop as he was already committed, so I shove. He shows AKs. Full Tilt put out a scary turn but I hold up.

Flop: ($208) Jd, 7s, 8c (2 players, 2 all-in)

Turn: ($208) 5s (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($208) Td (2 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $208

Results below:
Hero has Kd Kc (one pair, kings).
Villian has As Ks (high card, ace).
Outcome: Hero wins $226.60.

Easy 3-bet here. This guy is relatively TAG and looks reasonable. He calls.

UTG+1 bets $27, Hero raises all-in $191.2, UTG+1 calls all-in $58.
Uncalled bets: $106.2 returned to Hero.

I flop top set and he leads into me for almost full pot. I put him on AA, KK or JJ here (wanting action from AA or KK). I just shove and he shows a horrible hand to see. I manage to hold up though.
