running bad - 2 hands for review
I've had one of the worst online poker weeks of my life and I'd like some feedbackon a few hands. I'll resist the nearly overwhelming urge to post the obvious bad beats (all in gutshots hitting, 4 outers, etc.) and instead post a few hands I probably misplayed.
Hand 1: Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Button ($188.45) Hero ($149.50) BB ($180.90) UTG ($126) UTG+1 ($100) MP1 ($124.10) MP2 ($59.30) MP3 ($259.36) CO ($136.25) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. Hero posts a blind of $0.50. <font color="#666666">7 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero (poster) raises to $3.5</font>, BB calls $3. Flop: ($8) K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, BB checks. Turn: ($8) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $7</font>, BB calls $7. River: ($22) A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets $15</font>, Hero calls $15. Final Pot: $52 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> Hero has Ad Ac (three of a kind, aces). BB has Jd Th (straight, ace high). Outcome: BB wins $52. </font> I realize mistake #1 was not betting the flop. I check call the river cause there's quite a few drawing hands that beat me, and I actually feel I'm beat when the A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hits. Hand 2: Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx MP1 ($192.65) Hero ($103.85) MP3 ($260.80) CO ($135.50) Button ($98.50) SB ($106.70) BB ($114.65) UTG ($288.56) UTG+1 ($107.80) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Button calls $4, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: ($9.50) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $7</font>, Button calls $7. Turn: ($23.50) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $15</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to $30</font>, Hero folds. Final Pot: $68.50 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> No showdown. Button wins $68.50. </font> Is this fold too weak? I figure he hit his flush or hit a 4 on the flop. In retrospect, I guess I have outs (the 2 jacks, and probably any heart.) But then what would my action be on the turn if a blank hits? Check/fold? Ugh. Very frustrated right now and probably shouldn't be going back to the tables on tilt..oh well. Comments appreciated. iash |

Re: running bad - 2 hands for review
Hand 1: Never, EVER slowplay pocket Aces. Maybe if you flop a monster, but usually you want to play them near-full steam ahead. (But not recklessly.)
Pot the flop, 2/3 pot turn. Hand 2: I have no problem folding here. I wouldn't be worried about villain having a 4, I'd imagine high pocket pair (probably QQ) or a boat with 77. That or the obvious flush, but people usually play flushes slowly because everyone's scared of them. POT THE FLOP! You have a hand that can't take too much heat or pressure. As played, if a blank hits on the river, check/call any reasonable bet and expect to be beaten. |

Re: running bad - 2 hands for review
It's really better not to post results.
Hand 1 I pot the flop. This flop is really likely to hit someone who called a raise out of the BB, and there are several draws out there. |

Re: running bad - 2 hands for review
I like to see the results but only hidden so you can see later....but anyways why are you trying to slowplay AA with a possible 4 flush and straight draw on the board, checking gave him a free chance to draw out on you.

Re: running bad - 2 hands for review
Pot the flop in hand 1. It's better IMO to win a small pot than lose a big one.
Hand 2. Again, pot the flop. Are these plays standard? Maybe you are playing a bit timid because you have been losing? |

Re: running bad - 2 hands for review
Dont check the river in hand 1. Put out a river blocking/value bet and fold to a raise instead. You'll be sick when villain decides to check a K or Q there. Everyone's advice seems spot on. These aren't the places to get fancy with an overpair, so your line should just be to bet whenever you can.
