10 hands from my last 100

[Guido]

I've played 100 hands and played as good as I could with one or two big mistakes and a few slipups IMO. I have ordered them from AA to 22. Here are the first 10 hands I was involved in so here we go...

<font color="blue"> Hand 1 </font>
A /images/graemlins/club.gif K /images/graemlins/club.gif in UTG. I raise, MP and blinds call.

That's a bad fold in hand 3... 11-1? I would have capped preflop.

[rkiray]

HAND 1 : I'd definitely call the flop here. Can you give us any info on the sb. I don't assume he has a J and want to at least see the turn. If you don't improve and he bets again then I'd fold. If the sb is the type who likes to bet into someone who raises and there is no A or K on the board I might even raise. If nothing else it may get you a look at the river cheap.

Hand 2 : I like it.

Hand 3 : Once again I don't fold the flop. The pot is big enough that I want to see the turn for one bet. What site and limit is this? Can you give us some feel for the table. These things really make a difference.

Hand 4 : fine

Hand 5 : fine

Hand 6 : fine, co-1 should have folded preflop.

Hand 7 : you did fine. I wouldn't raise with KQo after a limper unless I'm almost sure the button would fold (and the blinds might fold, if the blinds defend their blinds most of the time, just limp). First in of course you would raise.

Hand 8 : Always fold KJo in early position.

Hand 9 : I'd usually fold this in the sb. This is a weak hand out of position. I'd play it from the big blind.

Hand 10 : Fine, if there was one less limper I'd fold it preflop.

Hi rkiray,

I play at Stars and the limits are 1/2.

Hand 1: I had no read on the SB because I moved up to 1/2 just this week and I wasn't that long at the table when this happened.

Hand 2: Split pot /images/graemlins/frown.gif

Hand 3: When I came at the table it was pretty loose passive but after a while it got a lot tighter untill some new players entered. Hand 1 I probably should have called but I don't know if I should call this one.

Hand 8: I agree and probably should always fold in EP, but like I said the table was pretty passive.

I will soon post the next hands.

Thanks,

Guido
