Some Hands from Today\'s Session (9/25)
Another really good session today - only 400 hands but I made $72. I'm thinking of going up to 1/2 - I've played at higher limits and lost money, which is why I'm now playing .5/1 - (though I do have a pretty big positive bb/100 at 2/4). In addition to any help with these hands, what do you think is a reasonable bankroll to be playing 4 tables of 1/2? Thanks in advance...
1) Does anybody fear a better hand than mine here? I definitly had a bad feeling about this, but forced myself to keep betting...wrong move? Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].

Final Pot: 28.50 BB 2) This was just a really fun hand... Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero calls, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, CO calls, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Final Pot: 19.50 BB 3) Here is another hand where I luck out - I semi-bluff the flop with bottom pair and a backdoor draw to the nut flush and get reraised. I feel obligated to call with the dollar amount in the pot and then turn a flush draw. Did I play this wrong? Should I have check/folded the flop?

Final Pot: 14.50 BB 4) Posted this one as it happened today - I'm a little angry at myself for being so scared of a flush on the river... Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

River: (11.25 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> UTG checks, Hero checks, Button checks. Final Pot: 11.25 BB 5) Here is an instance where I felt totally confused as of what to do. With all the betting and raising I was sure that, even if I hit my draw, my flush wasn't going to take it down. At what point should I have laid this hand down? Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG posts a blind of $0.5.

Turn: (9.50 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls, Button folds, UTG+2 calls. River: (15.50 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero folds, UTG+2 calls. Final Pot: 19.50 BB 6) I go for a blind steal with 86s and get called. Flop is AA6 - I have to bet this to at least represent the ace. Once he raises me, I go into check/call mode - is this wrong? Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.

River: (7 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 9 BB 7) Finally, some more stubborn calling - there were a lot of hands he could have been raising with that I beat, and I didn't want to admit he didn't have one of them - is this stupid calling or not? Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed) Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, Hero calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls.
