Last night I was lucky enough to get AA twice and KK twice in the space of 15 minutes.
All four times I lost between half a buyin and a buyin.
Let's say you have J2s on the button at £50NL 6max. It's folded to you and you raise to £2. Fair enough. Then the SB re-raises to £5. Are there any occasions (assuming you don't have a read on villain that he's a total donk who you can beat post-flop with any 2 cards 100% of the time) where calling or 4-betting is a good move?
He thought so. Especially when the flop came J92. Though he was decent enough to let me bet off my whole stack by the river (another 2, just to give me two pair and to rub it in).
My one plus of the night was beating a certain $200NL+ FTR regular who was slumming it for an evening. I get 88 in the SB, villain is on the button and, with 28/28 stats at this point, a raise is hardly a surprise. So I repop it to £5; he ups it to £13; naturally, I 5-bet to £25. "JJ no good", he types, before reluctantly folding. Result.
