Ok. Here is an example of why I'm having trouble with .10/.25 NL.
I changed my game a bit tonight and took home some good $$$ but I would appreciate an expert player giving me some analysis on this hand. The why kind of alludes me . Why did I call to the river and etc etc. I was 3 tabling so no reads on this guy other than he had nearly a full buy-in. And he had a dumb name. Hero has $20 in SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] .10/.25 NL Limped around to me I raise to $2 MP calls LP calls Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] pot=8 I bet $4 Mp calls LP folds Turn: 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] I bet $5 Mp raises to $10 Hero calls River: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Hero bets $5 All-in MP calls MP shows T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] WTF This is why I have trouble at these stakes. I'm trying to think more about the long run than one single hand at a time and tonight it certainly help me find my balls. I doubled up with QQ on another table earlier. I just wonder if I'm good enough to play 3 tables at one time. I think I should go down to 2. Let me know how you think I played it. I probably should have pushed all-in on the turn. MP said that he put me on AK ....ace high and that was the reason he called to the river. What do you think ? I need to be thinking what MP is thinking of me ? MP thinks I'm weak therefore I call his raise, etc. |

why are you underbetting the pot so much?

Half pot bet. Gives improper odds for a flush draw and gauges where I'm at. Turn bet is too small, I admit. Not sure why I bet so small there. He had 5 outs, though. 8 to 1 and he definitely wasn't getting it.
Do you think someone with trips would raise that $4 bet on the flop or just call ? What about the turn. He minimum raised my $5 bet. Ideas ? Am I thinking about this all wrong ? |

Well flopping trips with a pocket pair is 8:1 and flopping trips with unpaired cards is something like 54:1

My thinking is, he raised YOU on the turn:
Because he put you on a hand he could beat, to represent a Q, and/or possibly for a free showdown which you wisely didn't give him. Poker is gambling and looks like you both took your shots on that hand, well done! 1 for you, 0 for opponent. As for you pushing on the turn, if you had went in all for $15 then, he would have likely folded, he tried to steal the pot with a reraise, failed, and you're AI river bet took control away from him, just thankfully his hand was weak. I think the fact he DIDN'T put you to the test on HIS turn raise might have been a tell that he wasn't strong, why let YOU have all of $5 left? >TW< Here's a listing of odds I quickly found: http://www.flopturnriver.com/phpBB2/...hp?t=9366& and a lengthy discussion afterwards. |
