What to do?
Thought I'd post some hands. I am having problems lately ...
HAND #1: Party 10+1, eight left, BB T50. Hero is CO w/ T585, w/AdKd LAG w/1125 to my immediate left bets 175 (No read on SB, who has T560, but BB is serious LAG and has 1493) Hero ... HAND #2: Three left, BB T300. Lots of steals preflop. Button - T5100 SB - 950 Hero is BB, T1950 w/ AcKd Button raises to 600 SB folds. Hero ... HAND #3: Four left. BB T300 UG - 1700 Button - 2765 SB - 1495 Hero - 2040 UG calls, two folds, Hero has 4c 5s and checks Flop comes: 9h, 4c, Ac Hero checks, UG checks. Turn comes: Ts Hero ... (should I try to steal here?)

Re: What to do?
(1) Allin. Please don't post bad beat stories [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
(2) Allin. (3) No, you should check. That ten was not a blank, a ten is a frequently played card, plus there are plenty of draws down now. Also UTG has behaved very curiously this hand. Firstly he limped UTG for 300 with a stack of 1700, which is bizarre but not unheard of. Secondly he checked behind on a flop which screams "STEAL ME!". Either he is incredibly passive, in which case if you are winning you may well get to take down a checked down pot anyway, OR he is concealing some kind of monster and you're drawing dead or close to dead. General lesson: Be careful "stealing" versus opponents who look passive if you have a hand that might be winning anyway. On the other hand, there's a very convincing argument for the steal. With a four of clubs in your hand and another one on the table, you can move in and take it down if he folds, while if he calls you can table the 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and declare a misdeal [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I played the first two correctly, but am making mistakes on hands like the last one. I did try to bluff and finished OTM.
