I finally cleared the Absolute bonus so I can leave that place for greener pastures... and graphics that don't give me a headache. Last Absolute hand:
I think button is very loose pre-flop and plays more than half his hands but I don't have many hands with him and I have no read on him post-flop. I have some on SB though, he has a VP$IP of 19% and a PFR of 8.3%. He is also slightly tricky, at least compared to the others at Absolute 1/2. He often tries to pick up the pot from the BB or SB when the pot is unraised and there is one or two limpers. I think he reads me as tight and a bit more aggressive than the others and he might have noticed that I usally don't wait for the turn to raise if I have something.
Absolute Poker 1/2 Hold'em (4 handed)
Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, Button calls, SB completes, Hero checks.
I saw the post on raising ATo and AJo from BB and I usally don't raise ATo when there is more than one opponent. At least for now.
Flop: (3 SB) J/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, SB calls.
The idea was to fold the button and pick up a flush/straight draw or an ace in which case I'd bet the turn if he checked.
EDIT: There was also a good chance that at least SB would fold for the raise.
Turn: (4.50 BB) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks, Button checks.
Didn't work and I would have folded for a bet.
River: (4.50 BB) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, SB calls.
I can suck out too.
Final Pot: 8.50 BB
So how about the flop raise? Bad idea?
