($11) Awful play w/55; how to improve?
<font color="blue">I'm starting to feel antsy with the antes getting to t50 and t100; I'm making the occasional steal, but not really playing hyper-aggro yet. Here, a routine blind-steal goes horribly awry. How can I play this one better?</font>
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (7 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx BB (t1060) UTG (t1350) MP1 (t1715) Pokey (t885) CO (t1885) Button <font color="orange">(Villain)</font> (t615) SB (t490) Preflop: Pokey is MP2 with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. 2 folds, <font color="red">Pokey raises to t300</font>, 1 fold, Button <font color="orange">(Villain)</font> calls t300, 2 folds.

I cut my losses and ran.</font> Final Pot: t950 <font color="blue">Berate me if necessary, mock me at will, but please let me know what I could have done better in this hand, even if the answer is "don't play this hand."</font> |
