A couple of hands I played tonight
 

Just for discussion. Maybe some unorthodox plays, maybe not. I think that my decisions are correct.

Online 6-max (5 handed)

I'm UTG+1 and am dealt A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG folds and I raise. SB and BB both call. They both suck. Probably like 50/5 for those so inclined. I didn't have a HUD running.

Flop is 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

They check, I bet, SB calls, BB folds.

Turn is 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks and I check.

River is 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB checks and I bet.

Same table, two minutes later.

I'm dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the SB.

UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, folds, Button raises, I call, BB folds, UTG and UTG+1 call.

Flop is A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Checked to Button, he bets, I raise.

Button is decent. Probably like a 30/8 guy (but not the good kind of 30/8) for those so inclined. I didn't have a HUD running.

Edited by the moderator so the flop accurately reflects the flop posted by OP later

hand 1: bet the turn and check river. since you checked the turn, I would check/call the river. you will probably only get called by a 2 or low pp.

hand 2: I probably bet out and try to get some action for a FD, since I think we need to improve to win.

Re: A couple of hands I played tonight
 

Hand 1 I think I really like the Turn Check and the river bet.

I like hand 2 as well, but I really want to know your reasoning behind the raise.

Re: A couple of hands I played tonight
 

DUDE your site is rigged! (hand 2 has 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 2X)

Hand 1: I use this line often. The turn check looks like you are fearing the flush with a made hand.

Hand 2: Uh, turn and river 2 more 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for the super duper jackpot wheel of fortune bonus.

Re: A couple of hands I played tonight
 

turn check is fine usually, but I can't see value in a river bet in hand 1

Re: A couple of hands I played tonight
 

hand 1 is easy. I'd have to be pretty sure he's willing to let his 2s get checked through to not bet.

hand 2 is a lie. I'm assumin it's A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] on the flop though, so it's good too.

Really, this is just another place for me to tell you how lame your name change is.

Re: A couple of hands I played tonight
 

Hand 2 correct flop is:

A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

This change might alter some of y'alls thinking.

I think that betting the turn and checking behind on the river in hand 1 is not as good as my line. I did, however, consider it. And yes, that is a river value bet.

I don't think you're ahead 55% of the time that you get called. I think only A high or better calls, and I can't see him having A-high 55% of the time he calls.

Re: A couple of hands I played tonight
 

hand1: I check behind the river

hand2: what is the blind structure? not sure I like preflop .. flop looks good

Even better. Check-raise away.
