i still suck at sixmax

first hand as I sit down.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $1.
UTG calls, 1 fold, Hero (poster) checks,

had a limper, so I couldn't steal-raise.

Button calls, 1 fold, BB raises, UTG calls, Hero calls, Button calls.

BB likes his hand vs two limpers and my unraised random two cards.

Flop: (8.50 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (4 players)
BB bets, UTG calls, Hero calls, Button folds.

Cant raise this for value vs the aggressor. Can't get away either here right?

Turn: (5.75 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB bets, UTG calls, Hero calls.

turn's a brick. same logic as flop.

River: (8.75 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero...,

check behind? bet for value? what if I'm raised here? whats the capital of vermont?

Final Pot: 14.75 BB [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

*grunch*
You have two pair with QUeen kicker... I bet this river, if you get reraised I would call -_-

IMO, an easy bet for value, call a raise, Montpelier.

1. I wouldn't call this raise pf.
2. Any pfr hand that beats us (AA, QQ, AK, AQ) does not check this river.
3. There is a decent chance we're chopping.

postflop is fine, but why did you call preflop?

Guruman · #5 10-06-2005, 10:15 PM

i was the poster

why did you call preflop?

Guruman · #7 10-06-2005, 10:28 PM

because I still suck at sixmax!

honestly, I'm still figuring out pf - and calling with a naked ace is probably something I should do right off the bat. My poker brain went "Ace! Ace! ...and position to boot!" then called and shut off.

do you value bet this river? What's your plan on a raise?

milesdyson · #8 10-06-2005, 10:32 PM

call a raise, but i wouldn't expect to be raised here more than 5-10% of the time.

Guruman · #9 10-06-2005, 10:41 PM

and you expect to be ahead of a 5% or 10% raise enough to be profitable? What losing hands check/raise here?

No. We expect to split.
