Re: Still Running Bad - 4 hands
I'm not complaining; I'm just trying to figure out if I overplayed them and lost more than I should have.

Re: Still Running Bad - 4 hands
Hand 1 - Can you honestly say you wouldn't do the same thing if the exact same sutuation came up again?
Hand 2 - I'm detecting a theme here. Hand 3 - Yowza. Are you a religious guy? Someone's out to get you. I would have put him an overpair too. Hand 4 - I’m UTG+1 and have A A I didn't even get past this line. I can guess the ending. I would very likely have lost the same. I'd say take a few days off, but you and your wife have this whole trip planned, so... |

For what its worth, I'd of played them about the same. Just got some very bad breaks and they sure do hurt when they string together like this. I do know the feeling.

I think you played these fine, the only different play I might have made is on hand 3, I might've led out on the turn and called the raise (he's LAG, so could have an 8 -- A8, K8s, 88, 82o [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]). May I pick one or 2 of these for www.RiveredAgain.com ? |

Hi Barry
Putting the results aside, does everyone three-bet the river in Hand 2? I would've figured I was chopping and just called it, but since no one has mentioned it yet, I'm now wondering if that's too timid. Aces McGee |

Re: Still Running Bad - 4 hands
Looks like the story of my life in the last month and half at party 5/10. I'm also on 150BB slide, but determined to climb back. The games last night were good. I might not checkraise the turn in hand 1, but overall I think you played these fine and with the proper amoung of aggression. I'm trying to decide whether to go up to FW this weekend or play golf. Tough life. |

Re: Still Running Bad - 4 hands
The thing I find kinda funny about this forum is so many opinions seem to be "rock hard" always and never opinions, which is simply not realistic. If they really play "always" and "never" strategies, they're putting themseleves at a disadvantage to being booked. "Usualy", "mostly", "seldom", "rarely", "sometimes" are much better ways to approach evals and poker in general.
I think that indiviual moves in hands like these are gonna be "depends" type moves. Sometimes I will, sometimes I won't. I don't think he did anything "wrong". |
