Default quick 1/2 hand.

Not exactly high stakes for most of you guys but...

$1/2 on Stars. Very first hand. Know nobody at the table.

I get Kh9s in the BB. 2 MP limpers ($27 and $86) and the SB ($46) completes. I check ($200). 4H to flop of:

6h 9c Td.

SB bets 2 into the 8 pot. I call. ?
MP1 calls, MP2 makes it 8. SB folds, I call (too fishy, since I'm behind?). MP1 folds.

Turn Ks. I check raise his pot bet to set him in.

Whatcha think? Chocolate pudding or boiled cabbage? Routine or ugly?

maybe i shouldn't have since your crap is the only response.

PS: your post is troll-like, fishy. You should try and fix that. Thanks for the input though.

I'd say it's a pretty bad play, no offense. You've gotta realize that the $2 bet is either a weak lead with a strong hand (9T, a set or 78 for the made straight) or a weak semi-bluff with JQ. The $8 raise sounds like he's got a T, and if he has KT, your 2 pair are no good, and if either of those guys have 78 or jq, you're still screwed. I probably would have bet outright for information and folded to a considerable reraise.

I put the flop raiser on a very likely ten and played to catch 2 pair or better. Raising the initial small bet may have let me find out where I'm at more easily if I'm really toast.

It worked out vs AT, but I thought I caught a whiff of fish coming off me after [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img].

dog if you visted this forum a lot you'd realize there are a lot of posts like yours that start out of the same tag line.

just post in the small stakes forum, that is why it is there.

oh man.

I don't know about others but i come to 2+2 to learn some poker. I see 1/2 hands in both mid-high and low stakes PL/NL, so i post here hoping to get the best responses.

If you're only concern is elitism and snitting, then I definitely should post next time elsewhere.

Why spend your energy writing these posts guys?

Credit to PoBoy321 for actually wanting to talk poker.

signing off,

this hand is not mid-high stakes, it belongs in the small stakes forum.

go ahead and post some $3/6 limit hands in the mid-high stakes limit forum because "you want to get better responses" and see what happens.

i don't have any problems with elitism and snitting, because the highest i've played is $200NL with $2/4 blinds, and only about 2,000 hands worth. In fact, I don't even play NL cash games for the moment.

I spend the energy writing these posts so that you'll learn to post in the correct forum, and not to throw a fit when people are just trying to let you know that.
