Some hands to chew on

[JoeU]

These hands all came up today in my .50/$1 game at Prima. For the most part, games were typical loose/passive with almost 5+ players to every flop. Ocassionally, someone would get out of line, but the game stayed true to form for the most part. I will post all results in white.

Hand 1:

I amin MP2 with A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. I open raise. Folded to the CO who 3-bets (unknown player). Button calls, I call. 3 to the flop for 5BB.

Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img](K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img])

I check, he bets, I raise, he 3-bets, I call. 2 to the river for 14BB.

You'll get better responses if you don't include results.

Does prima have a heads-up cap on betting?

[JoeU]

They do have a cap. 4 bets total.

I posted the results in white because with a 1 year old, it might be a couple of days before I get to post the results.

When will the converter work for Prima? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

When will the converter work for Prima?

Some day.

I would cap all streets in hand 1. raise the river in hand 2.

Regarding Hand 4:
You had turned the nut straight, yet you did not raise it. While there is a flush draw out there you must still make the others in the hand pay for their draws. I would have raised as much as possible on the turn and river....hell, after the turn they were both drawing dead anyways, you need to take advantage of their poor play.

[JoeU]

I agree. When I replayed that hand in pokertracker, I thought to myself "what the heck was I thinking"!

Thanks for the comments.
