Standard Hands

wuarhg · #1 12-08-2004, 09:45 AM

Villain is TP-A 6/2 after 250 hands. Postflop agg arount 1.7-2. I'm having a bit of a downswing so i'm posting standard hands to see if I really am doing it right.

I'm trying to get my blind steals up to about 25-30%. Is K8o a legitimate blind steal hand against 2 tight blinds? BB is TA-N 18/7.

Don't have alot of hands on villain but he seems to be LP-P. River fold O.K? I tried to cr the flop but I was ok with it being checked around so I could bet.

I like. obviously you bet your straight

sthief09 · #6 12-08-2004, 10:43 AM

this is ok. you could've bet the flop. I like your line just fine though.

Hands 1 and 2 are ok and you surely bet the river in hand 2.

Hand 3 I probably bet out on the flop and play the same if the action is still the same on turn and river.

Are you really considering not betting your rivered straight? You made a steal attempt, and lucked out on the river, so take advantage of it! I would recommend you bet a set here, two pair, heck, I'd even bet top pair for value in this situation. Your hand is much more powerful than these.

Why not call flop raise and then raise the turn? He is in earlier position, so he'll be forced to bet the turn.

I got the straight man. Bet! A call a raise for a split pot. Cry if you lose to Q8 or KQ.
