Am I starting to get out of the kiddie pool ?
So I've been playing a little different lately. I've been doing well too but not playing as much but I'm going to start playing more now since my bankroll is getting hit hard with the bills.
How you like this move ? Old me would never do this. .10/.25 NL Villain has $67 HEro has $25 Villain is 19 % vpip villain in EP Hero in MP Party Poker (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>. Flop: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> pot = $3 Villain bets $3 Hero raises to $10 Villain folds Final Pot: |

out of position its not good, with position it's mandatory.
check/call or bet/push. checkraising OOP is how i identify buddies real quick. fim |

I know the converter is not working perfectly, but do you think maybe you could flesh out the action a little more? I'd find it easier to comment if the sequence of betting on the flop was clearer.

woops, you are right. I was in SB and didn't have position. I just realized it. What difference does position make ? He can either call it or not.

Re: Am I starting to get out of the kiddie pool ?
They play you made is a pretty standard one. Personally I think its an ok play. When you do these kind of things it pays to think about what your table image is and who your opponents are. Many good players recognize these sorts of raises for what they are and will call or re-raise with something like A8.
My opinion is that these plays are more effective if not overused. In most situations I would make the raise you made about 1/3 of the time and I'm generally a real bastard. One other thing to remember is that from the point of veiw of someone betting a marginal hand out of position (villian's position) a smooth call can be as scary as a raise. If you smooth call you will often have an opportunity to take the hand on the turn when he checks or bets, even if you don't make queens, jacks, or the flush. Passion. |

I think that calling and milking after hit brings more money in the long run.

Yeah, if you 35% chance hits. Why not take the pot, and make even more if you get a call and hit your outs?

Because folding equity is very small at SSNL and you shouldnt put money in the pot when you are underdog. Oh, and you wont make more because raising with flush draw is so standard play that not many Villains will be more willing to pay you off than after calling.

Best wishes [/ QUOTE ] The problem with calling with a flush draw is that only the very worst players are going to give you any action when the draw hits. Although there are definitely LAGs at these stakes, I am starting to realize that there are a lot of weak tighties as well. Ive gotten more comfortable being aggressive with draws because it provides nice deception and it increases the chances of taking down a decent pot. For those that think deception is useless at small stakes I will say that although the opponents dont care too much about your hand, it is amazing how many of the table coaches show up when you make a play like this and they do remember. |
