Hi all
Been reading these forums a lot lately but not really felt I had much to say until I played these two hands today and really started wondering whether or not I play high pocket pairs to fast. I just recently moved from limit to no limit and wouldn't be too surprised if I'm way off on many things.
All input would be appreciated, torture me with your wisdom.
I tried to find some hand history in the application (expekt.com) but couldn’t so this is the way I recall it:
Game is no limit, 10 handed, big blind = $0.10 and buyin = $10
I had never seen villain before and he was my opponent in both hands. For the past 20minutes he had done nothing to make me believe he was any better than the rest. It was obvious that he was very loose as far as starting hand selection was concerned since he played many hands.
He is seated two seats to my left.
Hand 1
Hero has $9.x
Villain has $6.2
Hero is delt KK
Everyone folds to me in middle position.
I raise to $0.40 (This far the game had been really passive with no raising at all pre-flop)
Villain calls in late positions. Everone else folds. Pot is $0.95
Flopp is Q, 7 and 4, two clubs (neither of my Ks are clubs)
I bet $1
Villain calls. Pot is $2.95
Turn is J (not club)
I bet $2.5
Villain calls. Pot is $7.95
River is 7
I check
Villain goes all in $2.3
I call
Result in white:
<font color="white"> Villain has A7o </font>
Hand 2
10 -15 minutes later.
Hero has $9
Villain has $14
Hero is delt AA in middle position
Player UTG call the blinds for $0.10.
Hero raise to $0.40
Villain and UTG calls. Pot is $1.35
Flop is 10, 9, 7 mixed colors.
UTG checks
Hero bets $1
Villain raise to $2
Hero re-raise to $4
Villain makes it $6
Hero folds
