This is at the same table as my 49[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] bluff (or value bet [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), and is the sequence of hands right after. I just sat down, so these hands is all I have as far as reads (no hands left out after the 49[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] hand.

My question is basically about the last three hands. Also remember that villain 2 in the last hand is the same guy who open limped AA before. Also I think I lost big value on the Q6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hand, just couldn't figure out what to bet on the river and should have either made it $8 or pushed.

EDIT, MORE HANDS. Ok, fast forward in the session. No big hands have been played during this time. In the last hand I posted by the way, minraising villain had QQ for another limped big pair and took it down against 99 who ended up all in. Onwards we go about two orbits. I've been card dead and been raised PF, so I've taken down one hand PF but that's it.

Wondering about the first ahd third. These also all happened in a row. None of these villains had been in a hand with me in the previous set.

the hand with QK is an easy fold.

mother_brain · #3 08-02-2005, 08:05 PM

Yeah the damn turn minraise. I hate to say it but i keep on finding it to be true. I still can't fold, but i keep gathering evidence that shows i should.

Yes, normally I fold this to the river bet, but I have this great image and I hate to waste it, so I play not goot.

calling here won't help your image though. most NL25ers will make this call. if anything they'll be like "wow, he plays like me, he's the greatest ever."

I meant that he probably doesn't think I have much.

At 25$ NL, I believe Goblue is correct and it's a fold. However, if you want to see a showdown I would've led for a 1/2 pot bet and folded to a raise and saved myself a little extra moolah.

Btw, what were you doing playing Q6 sooted in the first place? You weren't drinking were you? I probably bet half the pot there because I don't think he's strong enough to call a PSB.
