My blind defense sucks
Hi all. My losing streak continues into epic proportions (details in the BBV forum...I've dropped over 1k BB's now amazingly enough...Hooray for me!!)
I continually struggle with blind-defense and over-card situations so i'm going back over my last session and grabbing 3 hands I think I mis-played for your perusal. FWIW - because of my losing I've been trying to call-down less when I'm pretty sure I'm beat. My previous leaks have included calling-down WAY too much...but it's possible I'm over-compensating a bit here. Hand 1 - 2/4, 5 players button is 44/2/1.5 and I haven't caught him in any bluff-raises or anything overly suspicious post-flop. Hero is in BB with A9o UTG and CO fold. Button limps SB folds Hero raises button calls Flop: 872r Hero bets, button calls Turn: 2 Hero bets, button raises, hero folds (too weak?? I'm trying to avoid major blind battles) Hand 2 - Opponent is 89/36/1 3/6, 6players Hero has J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in BB (fold) MP calls (fold fold fold), Hero raises, MP calls Flop: T [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] hero bets, MP calls Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] hero checks (??? hmmmm), MP bets, hero calls River: T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] hero c/c's (probably indicative of my general fear of losing yet again....looked pretty bad to me) hand 3: this one isn't blind-defense but whatever. villain is quite the maniac..but is still somewhat aware actually. 68/44/2.5 hero has A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the button. 3/6, 5 players UTG folds, CO raises, Hero re-raises, SB folds, BB folds, CO calls Flop: 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] CO checks, hero bets, CO calls Turn: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] CO checks, hero bets, CO raises, hero folds I mean even against a maniac I don't think you can call-down with that...but there is a VERY real chance that he is C/R'ing with total air and if I 3-bet he might even lay-down right there (it's happened a couple times when I had hands worth 3-betting in that spot). |
