Hand analysis from STT last night: would like some opinions
Hi guys, looking for some thoughts in regards to a few hands from a tournament last night. Will have some notes on each hand to try to put them in perspective, but would like to get everyone's take on a few of them. Thanks in advance

Final Pot: t1555 Notes on this hand: My table image was solid going in, playing very few pots but won a coinflip earlier on of two overcards versus an underpair hence the size of my chip stack. I figured I could close betting with a middle pair, and obviously missed the flop. Fired two barrels at it trying to pick it up and figured I was beat (CO showed AJ offsuit, so bad read on my part). Should I have fired only one shot?

Final Pot: t875 Notes on this hand: Image was the same as earlier, have played maybe 1 hand tops since the first hand. After seeing two calls after an out of position raise I wasn't sure what I had. No reraise so I figured on Middle Pair or big cards for a draw. Check / call I wasn't thrilled about, I didn't want to run a check / raise with no piece of it. Opponent had A10o Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (6 handed) converter Hero (t1350) BB (t1625) UTG (t575) MP (t1405) CO (t1395) Button (t1650) Preflop: Hero is SB with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, CO calls t100, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero completes, BB checks.

Final Pot: t900 Notes on this hand: I was figuring to close betting and see a flop (cost only 50). I probably should have NOT called on the turn with just a gutshot straight draw. I'm not feeling the whole 'fold preflop' here, but am not happy about the call on the turn.

Final Pot: t1400 Raiser who put it up to 300 had been on several steal attempts earlier from my reads. Was this too aggressive of a move? I had not put my chips at risk until this point. Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter Hero (t800) UTG (t1655) Button (t4275) SB (t1270) Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t400</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t800 (All-In)</font>, SB calls t400. Flop: (t1600) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Turn: (t1600) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: (t1600) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t1600 This was my last pot: 25% of my chips were in the pot with my BB, figured it was push with any 2...I wasn't able to move first with any authority, so I really wasn't sure what my options were otherwise. If I fold, I have a stack of 600, and then post a 100 dollar small blind, putting my stack at 500...less than 3BB. 2 hands earlier there was a min-raise when I had K5o, and after thinking of pushing (my stack was 1000) I folded and raiser showed AKo. Thanks for the thoughts guys, was on a self imposed break and per the suggestion of people here to put up some hands to analyze, I'd like some opinions. Thanks! |
Re: Hand analysis from STT last night: would like some opinions
#1...you have the chips to call the minraise IMO. check/fold the missed flop. #2...fold PF. It's still early and you still have plenty of chips. No reason at all to play this hand. #3...i don't even complete from the SB. I certainly would have folded the flop bet - you can't call off 20+% of your stack on an ISD. #4...not so bad w/ your read i suppose. but you'll be clear of the blinds shortly. i'd probably wait to open push with better. $5...meh, i suppose. me? i don't mind so much having a few cracks at getting doubled up w/T500 - i'd wait, but that's just me. |
