3 Hands w/ thoughts

[Ralph Wiggum]

Hand 1:
I'm mostly interested my comments on my flop play.
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (12 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, SB folds, BB calls.
How's this raise? If BB has the Ace, he'll c/r me. I'm just looking to spike a K or Q, and go into check/call mode the whole way, hoping he has the 8.

Turn: (8 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
BB checks, Hero checks.
Add a J to my list.

River: (8 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls.
Like I planned.





Hand 2:
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (7 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, CO calls, <font color="666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MP2 calls, CO calls.
I got MP2 on the FD or a SPed 6. CO on the 6 or a Q.

Turn: (9.25 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, CO calls.
MP2 is most likely on the FD, and CO feels like a Q now.

River: (12.25 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, Hero folds ...
Easy fold right?





Hand 3:
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, BB calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (9 SB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">SB bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">BB caps</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.
Nice, a K on the flop to keep these guys around hopefully. No fooling around w/ 2 clubs there, let's pound the pot. BB's cap made me think 2 diamonds.

Turn: (10.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero caps</font>, SB calls, BB calls.
BB bet out? Makes me think he has the K or 44, and maybe even AA, but highly unlikely. Hmmmm, SB w/ a check/3-bet? I was thinking that meant AA or KK. Let me cap the turn, and call if he bets out the river. I know I have BB beat.

River: (22.50 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero ??? ....
Should I bet out now?

Final Pot: 28.50 BB
