Hands from an EX-multitabler
A little background info:
Used to play real actual thinking poker, then I sadly became a multi-table whore. Finally this June I took the advice of this forum and stopped all the crazy 10 table crap and got back to poker. Best advice ever. I hardly ever posted hands before but am trying to change that bad habit as well. All hands are 400 NL party 6 MAX. FWIW hands 2 and 4 deserve the most attention. <font color="blue"> Hand 1 </font> Villain has been overbetting pots. Way too aggro, no one has caught a hand against him yet. Hero ($479) SB ($441) BB ($318.3) UTG ($948.39) Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $2. UTG calls $4, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $20</font> - an bit of an overbet against UTG limper. Does anyone have a problem with this? <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG calls $16. Flop: ($46) K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets $80</font>, Hero calls $459 (All-In), UTG folds. Final Pot: $585 __________________________________ <font color="blue"> Hand 2 </font> Background - I am going to have a hard time defending this play, but here goes. This was a very fast table, villain was taking large stabs at far too many pots, and following up with hefty continuation bets. My image is rock solid. BB ($400) Hero ($388) MP ($372.2) CO ($400) Button ($1289.07) SB ($434.35) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $4. SB posts a blind of $2.

(Fold preflop.... yeah yeah) Flop: ($52) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks, MP checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $35</font>, SB folds, Hero calls $35, MP folds.

Re: Hands from an EX-multitabler
I can agree with this, looking back I'm suprised I did what I did with THAT many people seeing the flop.

Re: Hands from an EX-multitabler
Hand 1, I think a flop call gives you more options. If you think he will bluff the turn OOP however, probably best to test him there and then. Also, if you think he's semi-bluffing or flat out bluffing (which I assume you do with the allin), I prefer a min-raise to let him put more money in with a weaker draw.
Hand 2, raise or fold the flop. Hand 3 looks fine. Hand 4, I don't think you're going to push him off much. If he's got a made hand on the turn and he's calling a turn raise of above the pot he's also calling a 2/3 bet of the river pot. If he's missed a draw, you've probably got him beat with A high..So I check the river. Turn bet is fine |

[/ QUOTE ] The pot is too big at the point. A min raise to 160 leaves me with 299 for example but also re-opens betting to villain. Villain can call-push any turn. (say 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] comes on the turn and villain pushes....your action?. Against this opponent I would call flop all in after the min-raise, but I wouldn't like it.) [ QUOTE ] Hand 2, raise or fold the flop. [/ QUOTE ] I thought my opponent would call sometimes here if I raised. I wanted to see the turn. Most turns I check and see what opponent does.

Turn bet is fine [/ QUOTE ] I agree now with checking the river, or betting significantly less to push off a miss. At the time I had noticed a tendancy for opponents to fold to larger sized river bets and call much more often if I say bet $80 instead on of $115 the river. At least I had an easy decision after that.... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] |

Re: Hands from an EX-multitabler
Hand 3: Do you normally overbet with a made hand?? If you don't, I'm very suspicious. 1/2-3/4 pot should have gotten same result w/ less risk. Right?

Re: Hands from an EX-multitabler
Hand #4, I would've bet the flop, then checked the turn if called. You both have enough behind to call a sane flop reraise.
