Yea or Nay? Trying something new - not covered in SSII
I am trying marginally amazing starting hands now, provided they don't get me in trouble, and I am in position.
1) Good starting choice? 2) Excellent fold? Seabrook ($.50/$1 Triple Draw 2-7) Hero: Ts 5h 3s 7h 8d First Round: xxxxx folds. yyyyyy raises to $1. lucas9000 re-raises to $1.50. Hero calls. xxxxx folds. xxxxx folds. yyyyy calls. yyyyyy takes 2 cards. lucas9000 stands pat. Hero takes 1 card. Hero: 5h 3s 7h 8d Qc MysteriAce: -- -- -- -- -- lucas9000: -- -- -- -- -- Second Round: yyyyy checks. lucas9000 bets $.50. Hero folds------------------- |

Re: Yea or Nay? Trying something new - not covered in SSII
let's assume you could put me on a pat 9 at worst here. would a call be correct for you to draw to your 8 in that case? or would that be too risky since your 8 is rough and i could of course have better than a 9?

Re: Yea or Nay? Trying something new - not covered in SSII
I actually assumed you had a pat 9, or rough 8. 75% of the time thats what an opponent would have in this situation. I think (and I could be wrong) that it would not be correct to draw to the 8. I cannot determine the odds of triple draw, so all I have is a logical deduction without the theory to back it up. Interesting TOP question for sure!

Looks like Lucas is on a rough 8, maybe 9. In position I would play this the same way. You're drawing a little rough and Player Y could still be involved (and if I remember right mysteriace wasnt awful) which makes a call look less attractive.

I don't like it for three bets. [/ QUOTE ] For 2? What if I was 3rd to act against 2 limper's, would you raise? I think I've been too tight pre-flop in some situations, there are many combinations I am leaving out hence why I said what the hell.. lets try something stupid.

Re: Yea or Nay? Trying something new - not covered in SSII
There are some players I'd play it against for two, or maybe even reraise -- I don't like this hand in a multiway pot at all, but since I'm likely at least a card ahead, and in position, there's a decent chance it doesn't get shown down headsup. I'm generally folding this if two people have shown interest in their hands. In the right game conditions I might overlimp and draw two against two EP limpers.
I've been spending a decent amount of my time lagging up the .25/.50, trying to determine what hands I should be adding, and which ones are stupid. One thing I've determined is that entering multiway pots without a deuce is trouble. |
