Playing in a live 20/40 with a half kill yesterday (30/60) and wanted to post a couple of hands that are giving me nightmares.


I'm MP with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

One horrible limper limps in EP, I raise, and a solid CO calls.

Flop Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

horrible limper bets, I raise, CO cold calls, limper calls

Turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

Limper bets, I raise, CO cold calls again, Limper three bets, I call, CO calls

River 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Limper bets, I call, CO calls


The raise on the flop is an attempt to get some straight draw backdoor low to fold.

On the turn, I figured sometimes the limper isn't betting the nuts, so what the hell maybe I can get the CO to fold some sort of low draw.

BTW, that was a "kill" hand

Thoughts???


Second hand

I'm the button with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Two limpers, I raise, both blinds call as do the limpers.

Flop

J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

checks to me and I bet, BB calls, as does one solid MP who limped

Turn

8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]


BB checks, MP bets, I raise, BB cold calls (I mutter something about getting quartered under my breath) and MP looks flabergasted that the rock in the BB cold called 80. He folds.


River

7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]


BB checks, I think he has A 2 xx, so I bet, and he calls.


Thoughts?


The turn raise was aimed at getting another low to fold, and as it turned out it got the solid MP to fold a Q-high flush because the rock in the BB cold called. Either way, I figured most players dont cold call 2 BB's in a small pot with just the low figuring they're usually quartered.



Comments appreciated.

The first hand limper showed the nuts and the CO showed a better low than mine.


In the secind hand, I got quartered on the river when the "rock" cold called with a pair and the nut low on the turn and the river made him two pair to quarter me.

This hand was very interesting IMO, because a rock checks the nut low when the flush gets there on the turn, another very solid played bets a Q high flush and I raise trying to run out another low. The rock thinks I've got the nuts for me to raise the solid player who bet into me, so he cold calls with the nut low. When he cold calls on the turn the solid player with the Q high flush figures he might be drawing dead, because he figured me for a low hand, and he figured the rock figured me for a low hand, too, which means that it this were true a Q high flush was no good.
