Tonight I had quads and faced quads, both with very different results. Anything I could have done in either hand to change the outcome for the better?
Hand 1
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 max, 6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
SB ($35.32)
Hero ($92.29)
UTG ($23.30)
MP ($8)
CO ($27.10)
Button ($28.48)
Preflop: Hero is BB with 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG folds, MP calls $0.50, CO folds, Button calls $0.50, SB completes, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $2</font>, MP folds, Button calls $1.50, SB calls $1.50.
Flop: ($6.50) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, Button checks.
Turn: ($6.50) 7/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, Button checks.
River: ($6.50) 9/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets $7</font>, Button folds, SB folds.
SB - "hit ur pockets huh"
Final Pot: $13.50
In hindsight, maybe the PF-raise was what killed me. I felt so transparent the whole time, but with the K on the board, I felt a bet would have made anyone fold, and I was hoping someone would try to slow-play the K, but it never happened.
Hand 2
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (6 max, 3 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Hero ($77.89)
BB ($48.75)
Button ($29.01)
Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
Button folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $1</font>, BB calls $0.50.
Flop: ($2) Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks.
Turn: ($2) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets $5</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises to $25</font>, <font color="CC3333">BB raises to $45</font>, Hero calls $20.
River: ($92) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets $2.75 (All-In)</font>, Hero calls $2.75.
Final Pot: $97.50
Results in white below: <font color="white">
Hero shows Js Ts (straight, ace high).
BB shows Tc Qc (four of a kind, queens).
Outcome: BB wins $97.50. </font>
The $25 bet may have been excessive (especially in light of the check-raise), but after Hand 1, I was hoping to get paid for a good hand. It was a pretty obvious Full House board as well. And as it turned out, at the time all of the money went in I was about a 73% favorite.
Also was I just asking for trouble by having a $77.89 stack?
