I am putting a few hands for review for comments, this was from a Stars 2 table trny that I won tonight. Most players where the standard loose passive players, with a few bluffers and clueless in the mix.
Hand 1
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
BB (t1360)
UTG (t4410)
UTG+1 (t1395)
MP1 (t880)
MP2 (t570)
CO (t1235)
Hero (t2075)
SB (t1310)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG calls t30, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls t30, MP2 calls t30, CO calls t30, Hero calls t30, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: (t210) 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t60</font>, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Hero calls t60, SB folds, BB folds.
Turn: (t330) 2/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t30</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t240</font>, UTG folds.
Final Pot: t600
In this hand, I felt the bet was weak for anything but a draw. Plus If I was wrong and he had an ace I could break him with a 5 on the Turn. When he bet very weak on the turn I was pretty sure he missed his draw and put him to the test. Any thoughts?
Hand 2
FPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
SB (t1770)
BB (t1790)
UTG (t14875)
MP (t4160)
Hero (t2245)
Button (t2160)
Preflop: Hero is CO with 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif, K/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, MP folds, Hero folds, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop: (t400) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 4/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets t400</font>, BB folds.
inal Pot: t800
as You can see I folded here,but I am wondering How many of you Six hand here close to the bubble would raise 3xbb. Is this even close between a raise and a fold which I feel a call is very bad.
Hand 3
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Button (t1970)
SB (t1590)
BB (t14875)
UTG (t4160)
Hero (t2245)
CO (t2160)
Preflop: Hero is MP with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2245</font>, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, BB folds.
Final Pot: t2545
Pretty Standard here I guess, @ 11bb. Any other line that would be optimal ?
Hand 4
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
MP (t1970)
CO (t1490)
Button (t14075)
SB (t4760)
Hero (t2545)
UTG (t2160)
Preflop: Hero is BB with A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG folds, MP folds, CO folds, Button folds, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t2745</font>, SB folds.
Final Pot: t2945
I had been playing my BB pretty passive up till this point, and decided that I was going to no longer let him get cheap looks at the flop. Plus I felt that he would fold here a large % of the time, he was completeing nearly every time in a unraised pot. Standard?
Hand 5
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (5 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
BB (t3485)
UTG (t14025)
MP (t5410)
Hero (t2795)
SB (t1285)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG folds, MP folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t600</font>, SB calls t500, BB folds.

River: (t2660) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font>
Final Pot: t2660
This was a strange hand, First I felt that I would try to take down the blinds with a hand that would hold up well against most calling hands. With the call I figured to QJ-KJ or AA KK, Most smaller Pairs or KQ or AX is pushing back here. With the Flop call, I didnt know what to think. I really felt that I was building a pot for AA KK or a Better J, but I was pretty well pot commited after the flop bet. It turns Out he was playing a flush draw really badly, With Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif10 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif.
Hand 6

<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t800</font>, BB folds.

Picking up the aggression here, Standard Follow up bet took it down. Any thoughts?
