A couple of hands

Fryguy · #1 09-07-2005, 09:28 PM

Did I missbet on the river in hand 1.
Did I miss value in hand 2?
Was the turn check-raise OK in hand 3? The Q I thought might give the opponent an opportunity to make a move on me. It turns out it worked, but I'm curious if it's the right play against a TAG.

BTW, in hand 3, calling the raise preflop was a misclick (what a fortunate misclick), so no need to tell me about how playing pocket pairs for a raise preflop is -ev.

Give me just one more raise on the turn in hand 2 before we find the call button, and I think they're all played fine. Yes, I just praised your cold call with 55. No, I am not particularly good at dispensing free poker advice to people trying to learn.

hmmm...hand #2 i'm putting another raise on the turn. if MP2 caps, i'm calling down. i really want to raise BB's donkbet here. looks like 2 pair, but i guess going for overcalls on MP2 is probably more prudent.

I'd fold the fives pf. I like a river call in hand two, I think BB had AQ or AJ and got scared by the turn heart, but I'm not sure enough to raise the river, nevermind Mp2. Hand one seems standard.

I wasn't sure about betting the turn in hand 1, as it completes a flush, and puts 3 to a straight out there.

Hand 2 I considered raising the turn again, but I wasn't sure if I was ahead or not, and so I decided to slow down then.

Got shown a straight in the first hand, both players showed a pair of aces (one was AK, other was some garbage A) in the second. And I don't remember what was shown in the 3rd hand, but it doesn't really matter [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
