Before you read and reply, let me say that I had this guy for AK-JT, no pocket pair, suited cards as well. And yes, I'm still tilting. Thanks in advance

maybe bet a bit more on the turn, looks ok though.

take results out of the op.

Hmm I can't really see anything I would do different if I put villain on those hands... If I wasn't to sure, I would make a slightly higher turn bet to get confirmed if he was serious with the hand or was just on a draw of some kind.

If he would bet the turn, I would push right away. What do you guys think about that option?

Exitonly · #5 11-22-2005, 05:57 AM

i would have probably bet more on both the flop (~2000) and the turn (probably put him all in). but it probably doesnt make much of a difference. Tough brreak.

betgo · #6 11-22-2005, 11:14 AM

I would bet more preflop. With 2 limpers, make it atleast 5xBB rather than 4xBB. JJ is not a hand you are deperate for action with. Also, it is standard to make a big raise if you are going to raise at all from the blinds, because you don't want to just build the pot out of position.

I would bet a little bit less than the pot-sized bet you made on the flop.

If I were villain, I would have reraised allin or put in a big reraise on the flop with pair plus flush draw.

You realize that villain was the slight favorite on the flop. He wasn't calling you with nothing.

It is possible that a bigger raise preflop or a push on the turn would have gotten villain to fold, but that is results oriented. You basically lost this due to bad luck rather than bad play.

I appreciate all the feedback. Still a little steamed about it because I was playing some of my best poker up to that hand. I had not lost a showdown up to that hand or very many pots that I had been involved in. I'll take a few days off for the holiday and re-cock for the Paradise Million 2.

There is nothing that you can do to avoid losing a lot of big hands. If someone else is putting in money, they probably are ahead or have a lot of outs.

You just have to "roll with the punches" as the song "The Gambler" says, and try not to get steamed.

Most tournament I am doing well in I get busted out before the significant money on some hand where either I run into a big hand, I lose a coin toss, or my opponent draws out on me. Sometimes you get lucky and win several of these big hands and make the final table; most of the time you don't.

see nothing wrong here, except the outcome.

#10 11-22-2005, 02:14 PM

Recently I have been adjusting my pre-flop raises to account for how many limpers there are. My raise range is 2.5BB-~4BB, but I have been adding 1BB for each limper. I have found this to work pretty well. It gets the loose players to fold a few more hands, and others will fold behind unless they actually have something. So, in this example, I'd raise to about ~1000. On the flop bet about 2/3 pot or so, and if no heart on turn, a big bet, maybe all-in. But overall you played the hand alright. Most of the time, the BB lead out bet on the river is going to be a bluff from a busted flush draw. In this case it WAS a busted flush draw, but he had a backup plan which came through. Unlucky, nothing more. Don't let the result of this hand make you afraid to keep playing the way you played it.
