I am a recreational player who lurks on these boards a lot and still have so freaking much to learn from you all. I have decided to improve my game I need to start posting some hands for people to rip apart (or comment on at least). Couldn't find a converter for Full Tilt so if anyone knows of one please help me there too.
UTG has played 4 hands before this one, calling a 3xbb bet in the BB and raising from UTG+1, MP, and Button each time 3xbb. Only hand he showed down was J9s from BB after hitting trip 9s on the flop.
FullTiltPoker Game #236809460: $10 + $1 Sit & Go (1515454), Table 1 - 25/50 - No Limit Hold'em - 23:54:51 ET - 2005/09/30
Seat 1: SB(2,550)
Seat 2: BB- HERO (1,670)
Seat 3: UTG- VILLIAN (2,950)
Seat 4: UTG+1 (1,565)
Seat 5: MP (1,225)
Seat 7: CO (2,215)
Seat 8: Button (1,325)
SB posts the small blind of 25
HERO posts the big blind of 50
The button is in seat #8
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero [5d 5c]
Villian raises to 225
All fold
HERO raises to 1,670, and is all in
------------------------------------------------
Thoughts on this push? I'm honestly not a huge fan of the small pocket pairs but during the hand I convinced myself that this was the best move. His raise here was a bit abnormal from his previous hands. I put him on a big A or a small pocket pair. It made me feel like he just wanted everyone to fold. Really, this was an attempt to push him off his hand.
Dumb move? Should I just fold and wait for a better situation?
