A few hands im not sure of

HighestCard · #1 08-16-2005, 08:19 PM

So, after a nice 10 OOTM streak (5/4/9/4/4/5/4/4/4/4) I figured its time to find some leaks in my play. Ill post my thoughts to go along with the hands. All hands are out of the same game, a pokerroom 10+1.

Hand 1

Seat 1: str8playa27 ($1,490 in chips)
Seat 3: realdigits ($1,890 in chips)
Seat 5: ozziebod ($2,445 in chips)
Seat 6: mb.valentine ($2,578 in chips)
Seat 7: RZARECTA420 ($1,209 in chips)
Seat 9: marykate0528 ($2,888 in chips)
Seat 10: HERO [ 10C,10S ] ($2,500 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
RZARECTA420 posts blind ($75), marykate0528 posts blind ($150).

PRE-FLOP
HERO bets $350, str8playa27 folds, realdigits calls $350, ozziebod folds, mb.valentine folds, RZARECTA420 folds, marykate0528 folds.

FLOP [board cards QD,2C,AD ]
HERO bets $225, realdigits folds.

SHOWDOWN
HERO wins $1,150.

My concern here is the hand before I had QQ, did a 2.5x bb raise, and everybody folded. The hand right before that I tripled up with 4's. Did I get lucky here that I only got one spite caller that folded to a continuation bet, or is this a standard play?

Hand 2

Seat 5: ozziebod ($2,570 in chips)
Seat 6: mb.valentine ($3,418 in chips)
Seat 7: RZARECTA420 ($2,118 in chips)
Seat 9: marykate0528 ($3,644 in chips)
Seat 10: HERO [ AD,KS ]($3,250 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
marykate0528 posts blind ($100), HERO posts blind ($200).

PRE-FLOP
ozziebod bets $2,570 and is all-in, mb.valentine folds, RZARECTA420 folds, marykate0528 folds, HERO thinks long and hard but folds.

Villain here is very LAG. Likes to bully around by pushing. The only hand I could put him on was ace king... [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Hand 3

Seat 5: ozziebod ($3,290 in chips)
Seat 6: mb.valentine ($5,142 in chips)
Seat 7: RZARECTA420 ($2,918 in chips)
Seat 10: HERO [ KC,8H ] ($3,650 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
HERO posts blind ($200), ozziebod posts blind ($400).

PRE-FLOP
mb.valentine folds, RZARECTA420 folds, HERO calls $200, ozziebod checks.

FLOP [board cards JC,4C,7C ]
HERO checks, ozziebod checks.

TURN [board cards JC,4C,7C,6H ]
HERO checks, ozziebod bets $800, HERO calls $800.

RIVER [board cards JC,4C,7C,6H,KD ]
HERO bets $800, ozziebod bets $2,090 and is all-in, HERO folds.

I should be folding this preflop, but since I didnt... Same LAG villain as before. I had first put him on a jack or two pair, re-thinking the hand its suprising he checked preflop due to his previous agressive activity (almost always betting the flop) so I'm guessing he flopped his flush. Thoughts???

Hand 4

Seat 5: ozziebod ($5,890 in chips)
Seat 6: mb.valentine ($4,542 in chips)
Seat 7: RZARECTA420 ($2,918 in chips)
Seat 10: HERO [ 9C,AS ] ($1,650 in chips)

ANTES/BLINDS
mb.valentine posts blind ($300), RZARECTA420 posts blind ($600).

PRE-FLOP
HERO bets $1,650 and is all-in

Standard push?
The blinds have only seen one flop each since we have been 4 handed (Out of about 20 hands). Same LAG villain on the button. (I would be using SnG power tools if I had the non demo version)

Thanks in advance.

 I think it's fine. You have the chips to chase out the rags...not overly committing yourself to a reraise (which i would dump). Absent an Ace, I might just check a two-broadway board. Here, I think you're given an oppportunity to CB, representing the Ace. It looks a tad small on the surface - but if we 'know' an Ace isn't folding, and a non-Ace "might" not be continuing, I don't think it's so bad. You played the hand semi-strongly, and were rewarded apporpriately.

 I generally abide by the 'better to be the aggressor, than the aggressee'. But considering your read here...I'm imagining his range is a little wider than AK/strong PP. It's understandable to not want to put your good standing at risk for a coin-flip, but against LAG, I don't think calling is wrong. A nice gamble to take a COMMANDING chip lead.

 I could fold or push PF. If you haven't raised his blinds yet (or much) - I'd probably push. Given your complete, I would be checking this down - including folding to the 2x on the turn despite your flush draw. On YOUR the river? I would check into him...probably another t800.

 Absolutely push. You have less than 3 BB's...about as good an 'any two' as you'll get. 

Standard push?
The blinds have only seen one flop each since we have been 4 handed (Out of about 20 hands). Same LAG villain on the button. (I would be using SnG power tools if I had the non demo version)
