How bad is the coldcall prelflop? After that its pretty standard right?

This is a boring hand. Preflop is fine.

THe preflop call is a bit loose for the average 2/4 game (but probably only slightly -EV; possibly even slightly +EV for an EXPERT player). The rest of the hand looks very good.

PF is fine.

Nediam,

You're nuts. Not calling here would be a farily sizable mistake, even if you don't play that well postflop.

This hand looks very standard to me.

The only thing I was unsure about was the PF call, I'm just starting to get into limit again, so its hands like this that give me trouble. A quick follow up question, what do I do if a 2 or 3 hits on the river?

I keep on looking at my SSH chart but I don't see where it says i can cold call in middle position in a tight game with QJs regardless of the number of people in the hand.... thats why I said what I said.

Niediam · #8 02-05-2005, 04:22 PM

You play it the same... you hand will still be good far more times than somebody will have outdrawn you there.

Yes bad preflop call. But the rest you played good

Cheers,
Pots
