Hey all,
I have read a lot, but haven't yet posted anything. I have been hitting some walls lately that have me questioning how I am playing. I just sat down at this table and didn't have any reads on folks. I have been seeing hands like this a ton, and want to see if anyone would have played it differently. Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, Hero calls, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB checks. Flop: (5.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font> BB checks, UTG+2 checks, <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP3 folds, Button calls, BB folds, UTG+2 calls. Turn: (4.25 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, Hero calls, Button calls. River: (7.25 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">UTG+2 bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, UTG+2 calls. Final Pot: 13.25 BB Thanks! |

raise preflop, the rest looks fine to me.

raising pf would have made this hand easier to play. given you didn't, the rest was played fine.

Pray tell, why do you think this would have made the hand easier to play and what is the reasoning for being even more aggressive than SSH recommends (and Ed is aggressive - he recommends a call here)? Thanks! |

Agree, raise preflop. The rest of the hand is fine.

[/ QUOTE ] You assume there is some sort of plan here. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Honestly offsuit holdings from AJ on down have been terrible for me (consistent losers). Limited numbers of hands, but since I obviously misread SSH and my history had proved it out to be weaker than it actually should be I need to correct the error. In any case I do care what Ed has to say. Smart guy, good book, and has access to hand databases that I certainly do not. A good place to start. In any case, here are the results of the hand: Hero shows [ Ac, Jh ] two pairs, aces and jacks. Button doesn't show [ Ah, Qh ] a pair of aces. UTG+2 shows [ Kd, 6d ] a flush, ace high. UTG+2 wins $12.5 from the main pot with a flush, ace high. MHING, and this has been endemic the last bit or so. I have dropped 70+BB in a frightenengly short time with lots of hands similar to this (lots in, nothing out). This is a good sanity check, thanks. Sand |

i'm surprised UTG+2 didn't re-raise the river with the nut flush. at least he saved you another BB
