Three winning hands from last night - did I play them well enough?
I had a pretty decent night last night - certainly compared to lately. However, I know that to be really good I'll have to maximize my winning hands. Could I have played these better?
(Note - I will be posting both winning and losing hands in the future - I think I can learn a lot by posting both). (1) I was thrown off by BB's check-raise on the flop - I thought he had trips or something like that. Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (8 handed) Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB checks. Flop: (7.50 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(7 players)</font> BB checks, UTG bets, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls, Button calls, BB raises, UTG calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, Hero calls, Button folds. Turn: (8.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font> BB bets, UTG calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls. River: (12.75 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(4 players)</font> BB bets, UTG calls, MP2 folds, Hero calls. Final Pot: 15.75 BB Results in white below: <font color="white"> BB shows 8s Qs (one pair, queens). UTG shows 3h 6c (one pair, sixes). Hero shows Kd Qc (one pair, queens). Outcome: Hero wins 15.75 BB. </font> (2) I tried a check-raise on the flop - is that a good idea?

Outcome: Hero wins 16.25 BB. </font> (3) I remembered hand (2), so I wanted to make my move at the turn - good or bad idea?

Re: Three winning hands from last night - did I play them well enough?
Hand 1: Ok played. I would probably raise the turn and see what the BB would do, but I understand that you might be afraid of the trips seeing how he checkraised.
Hand 2: I would wait for the turn to check-raise to gain big bets instead of small bets. Hand 3: Good, this is how you should have played Hand 2. |

A suggestion, use the highlight bets and raises button on the converter.
Hand 1- I don't like your call of the c/r unless you knew the guy as a maniac. If you thought he had trips, you were drawing dead, why call? Hand 2 is good. Hand 3- I'd lead, if only because based on the hands I'm seeing at this table, it was so loose they'd call anything. |

[/ QUOTE ] I'll remember to do that next time I use the converter. Hand 1 really confused me - there's a good case that I should have folded, but the pot was going to be pretty big - it was one more SB to call, then I had top pair with a nice kicker at the turn, then I was stuck. I was stunned when I won the pot. |
