I've commented on all the hands I would have played differently... I am, of course, an all-knowing expert. Follow my advice at your own risk!

Hand 14: If the game was as loose as you say it was the semibluff was probably wrong b/c it's unlikely you'll force out your opponents. Checking and folding wouldn't be a bad play, although checking and calling wouldn't be bad either b/c 1) of the pot size 2) if you catch a pair it'll probably be the best hand

Hand 21: I probably would have folded A3suited here, but I play fairly tight, and the loose, passive nature of your table probably makes this borderline call o.k.

Hand 24: What a tough beat. Good job of not going on tilt afterward.

Hand 26: I call here with the suited king. Counting the BB you'll have at least 4 buddies on the flop, probably 5 with the lb. Being on the button here you are in the best position, and, more importantly, you'll be getting great odds on the (almost) nut flush draw if 2 hearts flop. You may also win if a king comes.

Hand 28: If the UTG raiser is a loose raiser or the table was short (I get the feeling both were the case) you made the right play reraising. If the table was close to full & the UTG player has sensible raising standards I'd fold here. I like your post flop play.

Hand 29: With the pot this size I'd call with the overcards. With a rainbow flop you don't have to worry about hitting a pair & losing to a flush.

Hand 36: I'd raise here.

Hand 40: I would just click the bet button. An autobet out of the blue might make our opponent suspicious about the strength of your hand. However, if you vary when you autobet and when you click the button that might be a good way of messing with your opponents heads.

Hand 48: Fold on the flop. Even with AK, you know you're up against at least 1 legitimate hand when the action is bet and raised to your pre-flop raise.

So that's how I would have played those hands.

Hand 48: Fold on the flop. Even with AK, you know you're up against at least 1 legitimate hand when the action is bet and raised to your pre-flop raise.

He's got four cards to the nut flush and overcards to TPTK. I think he made the right play.

[Uston]

Hand 14. Trying this crap when you're out of position and have no backdoor draws against multiple loose players isn't a good idea.

I'd fold hand 28, raise hand 36, and usually fold the flop on hand 48. Based on these hands, you play well enough to beat Paradise 2/4.

[lil']

Uh-oh, that's 2 people who would fold the flop on hand 48. Am I missing something? Doesn't he have the nut flush draw with the pot laying him 7.5:1 odds on the flop? Even without the aces and kings as outs he still has 9 outs to the nut hand.

[Uston]

No, I'm the one that missed something (the club draw).

"Hand 36: I'd raise here."


I think what your pointing out is that my play tightens up significantly after I win a pot. I'll have to go review a few more logs but I bet your right. I know why this would be the case in a B/M game (something about playing while stacking chips) but I wonder why on an online game.

This is giving Dynasty's advice a shot. That hand got so many callers I wish I had been in the BB because I would have made it two.

"Trying this crap when you're out of position and have no backdoor draws against multiple loose players isn't a good idea."

I should have this on a T-Shirt. Or maybe emblazened on the inside of my eyelids.

"I'd fold hand 28" UTG was raising suited connectors, suited aces, and any 2 face cards all night. I was hoping to isolate him. In a tighter game man AQo looks pretty poor to me with a raise in the pot.

"raise hand 36" - I agree, I can speculate why I didn't but it's not because it wasn't correct to do. I just didn't want to play that hand, it felt very wrong to me.

[Lost Wages]

slavic,

Haven't read the other responses so I may duplicate/contradict them.

14) Too many limpers for this play plus you may not even have any outs to fall back on. Try it with fewer limpers any a hand like AQ where you outs are likely clean and you many even win unimproved.

28) Fold AQo to a UTG raise unless you have a specific read on this player.

35) Many on this forum advocate calling 1/2 with any 2 suited. I tend to throw away the truly terrible ones like 82s.

36)Raising is OK if you are comfortable with it.

40)Nice hand! And well played.


That's it.

The other posters are right about hand 48. I didn't see the club draw... IMO you played the hand nicely.

[slavic]

It's funny but hand 48 is the hand that told me this session needed to end. I had a run of unbelievable cards and when I flopped a monster draw, I felt like I didn't want to pour more money into this hand, even though all things were right in the world. Once I start feeling timid I think it's time to quit.

It's a shame too because I'll never find that table again.
