an astonishingly low turnout to today's tourney, 5 handed.
The games are noted for tight passivity by most, aggression warrants something, but it could be small!
everyone has ~500 chips, level 1 (blinds a paltry 1/2).
Hero is CO with A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 5 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
UTG folds, Hero calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB checks
Flop (T7) 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif
BB checks, Hero checks (mistake?), Button checks.
Turn (T7) 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
BB checks, Hero checks (too scared?), Button checks.
River (T7) K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
BB bets 7, Hero raises to 21, Button folds, BB calls
Final Pot: T49
Results (in white)
<font color="white">
BB shows 6d 7d
Hero shows Ad 5d
(Button Mucks 7s 2d)
Hero wins T49
</font>
The real questions are:
a) with the blinds so low, was it worth jamming the pot on my draw?
b) with a paired board, was raising fine? opening up the possibility of a boat was less scary to me than seeing monsters under the bet, so i raised the A-hi flush.
Comments welcome. I seem to play more tight when in home games than online, but is the small blind level justified?
Was the raise not big enough? Too big? unwarranted?
Comments appreciated,
