Two hands for review
These are from a 10+1 MTT on stars.
I start on a good table and am able to build my stack to T2700 in the first 20 minutes mostly by taking small pots without a showdown. Then the poker gods curse me and break my table. The first thing I notice at my new table is the player to my left has over T8000. I soon see the he is playing almost every pot. Both bilnd have been play somewhat tight. So this leads to my firts hand. Blinds 25/50 hero is in CO with A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Play is folded to me. With the loose big stack on the button knowing he will call with a lesser hand I decide to put in a bigger the average raise to get heads up with him. Hero bets T225; button calls; SB folds; then the BB raises all in(1500). Total pot 2025 now it will cost 1275 to call; plus I almost sure the button will call. I figure that I'm a coin flip at best while possibly a huge underdog. so I fold. I now get cold carded for the next half an hour but right before the first break I finally get a new table. I continue to hang around but am getting short stacked. With blinds at 100/200 I double up to T2700 UTG when my AQ beats 99. My next hand is Blinds 100/200 Hero is BB with Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG+1 limps; CO limps; Hero checks.Pot=T700 Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Hero bets 500; UTG+1 calls; CO folds.Pot=1700 Turn: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] hero goes all-in for 2000. Read on utg+1: Loose player/passive. He has called bets on the flop 3 or 4 times only to fold to a turn bet. But a few hands before this he flopped the nut straight and only checked and called his oppenents bet on the flop and turn then checked again on the river. |
