4 of a Kind
Playing 1-2 live, six handed. This is early in the session, players are still joining and will for a while. I think of this as the warm up period where we play a little more normally. Most players are either on their first $60 buy in or have rebought up to $200.
Cast of characters:
BB has $150 on a $60 start. He is the perfect calling station, very sticky very passive.
Hero is UTG playing $250 on a $200 start. Hero has been over aggressive with ace high and paid the price for that (and got some rewards too) This is the part of the session where hero takes actions with advertizing value - things that might not be wise with deeper stacks later on.
The Alpha Male holds the button and $350 on a $200 start. As always, Alpha wants to be table captian in his LAGgy way. He always wants to play when {easy money} Hero puts in a raise.
The hand:
Hero finds himself holding red rockets,
and raises to $12. {normal raises are $5 to $8, but hero wants a lower SPR and maybe a thinner field}
Folds to the Alpha Male who calls. SB folds, BB calls. $37 in the pot, three way action.
Flop:

BB checks, action on Hero. Bet or check, if betting how much and why?
