View Full Version : 22 mini-step2 3hs betting too big?


11-19-2005, 08:10 PM
Three hands from mini-step 2s. They seemed like just bad beats, but someone after I left said "He should learn to bet smaller". Am I overplaying these?
No reads, but people in general were raising with little, and not folding to routine (4x) raises.

Hand 1.

Hand 3 is so awkward.. I'm not sure if I could raise 5xbb with JJ when it's a third of my stack. You'd be better off pushing from the get-go or even trying to limp-push.

P.S. Don't post results.

You should also make sure the converter is converting your histories properly. Each hand is a little confusing as each are missing action.
