2 Questionable . . . $1/$2 Hands . . . Looking for advice?
Hand One
Im in the Big Blind with J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG+1 calls ... MP2 calls ... Button calls and SB calls.
I raise. All call. $10 in pot
Flop
K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
SB checks ... I don't know why but for some reason I bottled it and didn't bet out. I didn't feel comfortable betting out against 4 other people.
UTG+1 bets ... MP2 calls ... Button folds ... SB calls ... I fold.
Im not so worried about this particular hand ... UTG+1 bet out on the turn and river and won uncontested. But as a general rule should I come out betting here on this type of flop or is a check the correct play. If so how few players can I be up against to make a bet correct? I felt against a field of four out of position it was a tricky one.
Hand Two
Im in MP2 with K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
UTG+2 calls ... I call ... c/o and button both call ... sb calls ... bb checks.
Pot $6
Flop
A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
Both blinds check ... UTG+2 bets ... I call ... c/o calls ... and so does the SB.
Pot $10
Turn
6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB checks ... UTG+2 bets again ... I call (Im not sure whether or not I should have raised here because I didn't want to drive out the other players with such a strong draw ... Whats a more +ve EV play here a call or raise?)
Anyway ... c/o calls ... SB raises ... UTG+2 calls ... Once again not sure what the correct play is here? I call ... c/o folds.
Pot $24
River
3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB bets ... UTG+2 calls ... I fold.
In desperate need for advice. I dont feel I've made any major mistakes but would like to be more confident in my decisions next time round.
Sorry I've actually posted quite a few hands today ... I'll make sure I dont post so frequently next time.
