You might want to consider putting your opponents on a range of hands before hitting the bet/raise/reraise button.

hehe. True.
Cut me some slack, eh? I have just barely passed my 1000 hands free trial in PT and thus I'm totaly new to the game. This is a skill I will develop [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Re: huge pot for micro - how\'d I play?
 

not the biggest mistake to raise preflop.but still better to call. you arent going to force anyone out with your three bet and your hand is not that strong so you made second best decision here. definately cap flop. slow down on turn. probably bet first and if reraised call then check river.board pairing should put warning signs in your eyes considered the strong flop action.

Dude, you flopped the nut flush and got as much money into the pot as you could. Where's the question, here?

Yeah, well that's how I felt and that's why I posted it. I was just wondering whether is was a bad beat (likely) or if I'm not paying enough attention to my opponents (more likely).

I guess it's not a good idea to space out on what your opponents are doing so you can go post on OOT between decisions?

Mwahahahahahaha! Good point, although for me it's usually SS or micros.

In terms of serious critique, SB played this hand super-freaky, and unless I had some sort of pretty strong read on him (e.g. "he won't go nuts postflop without the near nuts") I'd keep chucking money in. Look what MP1 showed down, he wasn't even beating TP!

You like the cold-call+cap line preflop?

Sigh I suck, I just saw the cap at the end. No I don't like it. Post-flop is perfectly fine.

That is pretty much my exact read on most of my micro opponents. They are all too loose and too passive and I'm not going a million bets with a flush on a paired board when all they've done postflop is raise every chance they could. The original poster in this thread has some big misconceptions and telling him "you flopped the nuts keep raising" isn't going to help them.

To original poster: (1) This isn't about tight or loose, its about passive or aggressive. 3 betting preflop is too aggressive for the situation, folding preflop would be too tight. Calling the raise preflop would have been an appropriate level of tightness and aggression.

(2) postflop, put me in your head here, what were you thinking during the hand? I don't mean this in the "WHAT WERE YOU THINKING YOU RETARD?? way, I mean what was your thought process so we can use that as a stepping stone towards a better one. It seems to me you did little more than think "i have a flush i will raise now" and poker is too complex a game for that to fly.
