...or maybe just the first part.
Played a little $25PL on PP last night, two hands that I wanted some input on:
Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (7 handed)
MP1 ($16.20)
MP2 ($126.21)
Hero ($34.50)
Button ($78.10)
SB ($34.65)
BB ($6)
UTG ($25)
Preflop: Hero is CO with Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. UTG posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG (poster) checks, MP1 calls $0.50, MP2 folds, Hero raises to $2.75, Button raises to $10, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP1 folds, Hero folds.
Final Pot: $14.50
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: $7.25, won by Button.</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: $7.25, overbet by Button.</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
No showdown. Button wins $14.50. </font>
**No read on the button at this point, although I later realized he was good. He also sat at our five-man table willingly, a sign that should have had me watching him closer I think.
Second:
Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (7 handed)
MP2 ($163.71)
Hero ($49.95)
Button ($63.40)
SB ($24.85)
BB ($13.50)
UTG ($11.15)
MP1 ($45.38)
Preflop: Hero is CO with A/images/graemlins/heart.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls $0.50, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2, Button folds, SB calls $1.75, BB calls $1.50, UTG folds, MP2 calls $1.50.
Flop: ($8.50) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
SB bets $3, BB calls $3, MP2 folds, Hero calls $3.
I think this was my first big mistake. I now think I should have doubled his bet or folded. Agree/disagree?
Turn: ($17.50) 3/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets $5, SB calls $5, BB calls $5.
Semi-bluff. I was hoping the SB was trying to buy the pot before and saw the checks as weakness. Probably should have bet more for a steal, right?
River: ($32.50) 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB bets $14.85 (All-In), BB folds, Hero folds.
Blah. I hate my play in this hand.
Final Pot: $47.35
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: $32.50, won by SB.</font>
<font color="#990066">Pot 2: $14.85, overbet by SB.</font>
Results in white below: <font color="white">
SB doesn't show.
Outcome: SB wins $47.35. </font>
I'm amazed how poorly full-ring players play when it gets SH. Our 10-man table dropped to 5 and I started walking all over these guys who were still playing the same % of hands and loved folding to PF raises. I more than doubled up during this time. The table was amazing for about 30 minutes, but then a few good players showed up. I gave a litte back before I realized the new table texture and left. Next time I'll try to make the adjustment faster.
