Re: What do you think of my play on these 3 hands?
All three look pristine...obviously, no way to escape the last one as I might even push PF if villain has been just calling often and seems tightish as far as HU play is concerned...but checking and catching ANY piece of a flop, u have no option with that stack.
1st two hands look right...KJ, in that po with that stack and blinds, its pretty pushable. |

I would fold second one. That limp look scary. With the blinds the way they are limp is not an option unless You hold a monster.
The other hands I'd play the same. |

[/ QUOTE ] Many bad players limp with high blinds just like they would with low blinds. Playing at low buy-ins, you have to be careful not to give your opponents credit for being thinking players unless they give you a good reason to. Afterall, there are plenty of people who play like this. |

Re: What do you think of my play on these 3 hands?
oops...excuse me, im brain fried today. I thought BB called the raise in #2.
Ok...that changes it a bit. This goes from a fairly decent push to a borderline play...now it only depends on your read of limper...how had he played up until then? If anything is to be said for that hand it is UTG's indecisiveness on HIS hand...Im usually scared of UTG minraise...this WANTS action wheras a limper (obviously could be a trap SOMETIMES) is in between on his thought process and ends up farting as is evident here. These limps if not traps are usually medium low pairs...AK and hands that dominate you will raise here...I still like it, bc u still have fold equity and that combined with 46EV and your stack size of 6BBs you made a +EV play IMO...close though. |

Re: What do you think of my play on these 3 hands?
I'm iffy on the first hand. I'd much rather be pushing than calling here. The board is very coordinated espcecially for a raised pot. It figures to have hit someone and the SB is still pushing into two opponents. You're a favorite over JT and JJ, but that's pretty much the only two hands where you're not a significant dog. Against AK you have 9 outs. Against a made two pair or set of tens you have 8-11 outs so the pot odds are close, but I think you might be able to wait for a better spot.
Hand 2 looks good. Hand 3 I think is player dependent. If your opponent has been playing tight and not pushing without top pair a fold might be in order, but if you think he'd play overcards the same way then by all means call. |

1 and 2 are good. In 1, his most likely hands all have a J in them and you have most of them beat. You're also beating a lone king or QT; not a bad spot. I make the second play all the time and usually don't regret it.
Hand 3 is a fold for me unless he's done that before. |

the push screams weakness on this hand...IMO |
