Slight Downswing.... Checkup

These were played at a combination of the 20 and 30 Party Sngs. Wanted to see if anything looks out of line.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (7 handed) converter

UTG (t730)
MP1 (t1060)
Hero (t935)
CO (t2010)
Button (t1355)
SB (t640)
BB (t1270)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
1 fold, MP1 calls t30, Hero raises to t125, 1 fold, Button calls t125, 2 folds, MP1 folds.

Flop: (t325) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets t200, Button calls t610.

Turn: (t1135) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)

River: (t1135) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)

Final Pot: t1135

I figure he would autobet if checked to, not sure what he would call my preflop raise with, but loose calling standards. I don't think he traps with monster but not positive. I'm not afraid of big pocket pairs.

Preflop: Hero is CO with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises[t645]

Too early? Or is this ok? No reads.

Another question, how many tournaments should I play before I start to give a damn about my PT stats?

I'm no pro, so if someone contradicts me, take them seriously. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

First hand, I don't like the PF raise. In late position, I'd limp and save my chips if the flop doesn't connect.

On the flop, considering you did raise PF, I don't think you have the pot odds to even call here with your draw. You've got 10 outs to make TP or better, but really only 8 outs because K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] could give villan a flush.

Second hand, probably too early to make a move. At this point you're still > 10BB. How long 'til the blinds raise?

I would fold both of these pre-flop.

I might limp with AQ, but be ready to get away from the hand if there is a lot of action, even if you hit.

Fold the KJ. You're short, but the blinds aren't big enough to change that.

I hate folding the AQo, I usually limp. I think folding is just too weak with so many idiots desperate to give away their money.

Also I don't like to open allin with KJo there with over 12x the BB on the cutoff.

KingDan · #6 05-10-2005, 06:14 PM

I forgot to note blinds raise next hand with KJ.

I only have 80 or so tournaments in pokertracker at the 20s, how many tournaments need to be played before the stats are useful?

I would reconsider folding AQ PF here (in almost any position and especially not this one). Of course party might be different in this regard so as always, take what I say with a caution.

love a limp...and raise isnt awful either.

KJo I would fold/...blinds arent worth it yet.

i dont like the raise of 125 with AQ offsuit....and pushing with JK offsuit in the cutoff is pretty reckless considering you still have over 10BB's
