Mainly concerned about preflop on this first one...Stars has those turbo 6-max, and I think I started going LAG a bit with the speed (4-table) what do you think?

Preflop: Hero is SB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
UTG calls, MP raises, 1 fold, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls, UTG calls.

Flop: (10 SB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (5 players)
Hero bets, BB folds, UTG folds, MP calls, Button folds.

Turn: (6 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, MP calls.

River: (8 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, MP checks.

Final Pot: 8 BB

I think preflop is questionable, and It seems I really couldnt make up my mind what I wanted to do on the river...lol.

I wonder how many of my 10 outs were already mucked. If it wasnt for busting 89o on the river I'd feel bad...seriously pretty bad turn call yeah?

Hand 1: Value bet the river.

Hand 2: I like it. If the guy's an unknown I'm often looking him up on this river UI. That donk-bet is usually an attempt to fold you.

Wow Im surprised nothing about the K9o SB to a raise. I remembered HFAP saying something about K9...and thats really the only reason I called. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I would have dumped this more times than not I think....is this good on a table of mostly unknowns in this position?
(I guess full-ring habits are hard to break)

I missed that preflop raise in hand 1, You wanna fold there. K9s isn't even strong enough to get involved with here.

k9s is definitely strong enough to get involved.

Having to cold-call 1.5BB's and be OOP the entire hand? No thanks.

So you started with SH, went to the high-speed tables and played 4 of them?
Doesnt sound like a good plan [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

livinitup0 · #8 08-01-2005, 01:58 AM

Only played the 4 turbos first session...I like 'em...but not 4 of them. Too much.....btw (especeially anyone who read my first day of sh post yesterday.)Day 2, first 200 hands of the night....+24BB, that's 183BB in 1200 hands of SH..they werent kidding about varience. it reminds me of smelling rain and knowing the storm is coming. Thanks for he advice on the hands guys.

Hand 1 I bet the river

I like the way you played 2, sometimes I raise the turn and checkthrough ui~
