View Full Version : Critique My ITM Play Please (long)


08-29-2005, 11:27 AM
I'm having a lot of trouble with this--lots of thirds. Please look over these hand histories and critique rudely. I put a ** by hands that I think are questionable, but I suspect that I missed some opportunities and didn't even realize it.

**Hand 1:

Hero (4730)
Villain 1 (2475)
Villain 2 (2795)
Blinds 100/200

Hero is SB with 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif8/images/graemlins/spade.gif
Villain 2 folds
Hero limps (I always do this early ITM with a hand that likes a flop to test the water. Good/Bad?)
Villain 1 minraises
Hero calls

Flop:
5/images/graemlins/club.gif6/images/graemlins/spade.gif2/images/graemlins/spade.gif

Hero checks
Villain 1 bets 480
Hero pushes
Villain 1 folds


**Hand 2:

Hero (5610)
Villain 1 (1595)
Villain 2 (2795)
Blinds 100/200

Hero is Button with K/images/graemlins/spade.gif8/images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero folds (because hero's too scared to push after last hand. Dumb?)
Villain 1 minraises
Villain 2 folds


**Hand 3:

Hero (5610)
Villain 1 (1795)
Villain 2 (2595)
Blinds 100/200

Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif6/images/graemlins/club.gif
Villain 1 miniraises
Villain 2 folds
Hero calls

Flop:

Hand 4:

Blinds 150/300

Hero is Button with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Hero raises to 600
Villain 1 folds

(I made this play because I thought I wanted to isolate, getting 1.75:1 with J7o against a random hand. I had no real interest in busting shorty as I don't expect to place third, and he folds a lot on the SB. Good/Bad?)

**Hand 6:

Hero (4860)

try posting 1 or 2 hands at a time in order to get better (or any, in this case) responses. few people have the time -- and fewer still have the motivation -- to wade through all these hands and provide a helpful critique.
