Spew checkup, a bunch of hands
I am rebuilding from scratch (again, due to my spectacular money management skills) and I think I need a check-up.
I played baby no limit while building from $100-$2,000, but for the last week or so I have just been stuck in a rut, going up and down a few hundred but making no progress. So, I decided to take the two grand (which I generally consider to be a good starting bankroll for online $2/$4 and $3/$6) and try to grind my way back up through limit. Unfortunately, I seem to suck at limit now so please help me review for major leaks, missed bets and general stupidity. Thanks.
Mostly PartyPoker $2/$4 and $3/$6, standard low limit online players unless otherwise noted. Please forgive the massive influx of hands but I am suddenly feeling very uncomfortable with my limit Hold'em skills.
-------- Hand 1 --------
I raise interracial Kings UTG+1, player directly behind me three-bets, cutoff calls three cold, blinds fold, I cap, both call.
Flop: 473 rainbow.
I bet, player behind me raises, cutoff calls, I reraise, player behind me calls, cutoff calls.
Turn: Ts, putting two spades out
I bet, both call.
River: Offsuit 8
I bet...
Really, really, really standard, right? Pay off one raise? Overcall if player behind me raises and cutoff calls?
-------- Hand 2 --------
I open ATs two off the button, only the small blind calls.
Flop: T82
Small blind checks, I bet, he calls.
Turn: Offsuit 4
Small blind donks into me.
Raise this silly little bet? What if I raise and get three-bet?
-------- Hand 3 --------
I raise KK UTG. Late position player cold-calls, big blind calls.
Flop: TJK
Blind checks, I bet, late position player raises and the blind now check-three-bets, I cap [?].
Turn: A
Blind bets, I call, late position player calls, leaving himself just over one big bet.
River: Blank
Blind bets. Just go away here?
-------- Hand 4 --------
Bad player (earlier, limped UTG with A6s, called two more after I raised and the small blind three-bet with no one else in the pot then called again when I capped; proceeded to check/overcall my bet on a T24 flop with one of his suit, donk and call a raise on an offsuit 2 turn then check/call my river bet with his Ace-high) opens from middle position. I three-bet with AQo in the cutoff.
Flop: TJK rainbow.
Raiser bets into me, I raise, he calls.
Turn: T
Raiser bets, I call.
River: Brick.
Bet/call.
So, so, so weak, right? Easy raise somewhere in there, especially if I had read my own note on him. What if I raise and he three-bets? Easy call down?
-------- Hand 5 --------
UTG limps, UTG+2 limps, I raise in middle position with red Queens. Both limpers calls.
Flop: JXX, two hearts.
UTG bets, UTG+2 calls, I raise, both call.
Turn: Small heart
UTG checks, UTG+2 bets, I raise. [Call here? I felt UTG+2 was full of poo and I wanted to put pressure on UTG.]
River: Small heart
Check, check, check.
I was really tempted to bet my flush but I had a queasy, wimpy feeling.
-------- Hand 6 --------
UTG raises, I reraise AKo, cutoff cold-caps, small blind calls it all, raiser calls two, I call one.
Flop: 327, two clubs (I have no clubs).
Checked to the capper who bets, we all call
Turn: As, putting out two spades.
Check, check, I check [Stupid, stupid, stupid, right? I was displeased with myself the instant I did it.], cutoff checks.
River: Red Jack.
Limper bets, I just call, cutoff thinks a while then raises, bettor calls and I fold.
-------- Hand 7 --------
The table is five-handed at this point. UTG posts a big blind+$1 dead. I raise ATo UTG+1, blinds fold, UTG calls.
Flop: AJK with two diamonds (I have no diamond).
UTG bets, I raise, UTG three-bets. [Cap? Call?]
Assume the turn is a blank and I get bet into. Am I drawing to four outs or possibly less? Should I bother calling?
-------- Hand 8 --------
I am dealt QsTs in the big blind. UTG+2 open-limps, the small blind completes and I check.
Flop: Q87 rainbow. I bet, limper raises, small blind folds, I three-bet, limper calls.
Turn: Offsuit T.
I bet, limper calls.
River: J
I... Check/call? Check/fold? Bet/call? Bet/fold?
-------- Hand 9 --------
Two limpers to me and I raise with AQo. Small blind calls, limpers call.
Flop: A47 rainbow.
Limper bets, I raise, small blind calls two.
Turn: 3, putting two hearts on board
Check, check, I bet, both call.
River: Offsuit 6
Check, check, I... Do I find a value bet at this point?
-------- Hand 10 --------
A late poition player opens and I three-bet right behind him with AcJc. We take the flop heads-up.
Flop: ATX, two spades, no clubs.
Opener leads, I raise, he reraises. What's my plan? Give it up now? On the turn? Call down?
Thanks for taking the time to reply. I'll post results if anyone is interested but for now I will keep them to myself.
