Go easy on me here, gang. This is only my 3rd hand post. I've read Jones, HE for Advanced Players, and have been playing on line for about 3 months now. Consider myself average but improving.
This hand was too early to have any reads on the other players. Ultimate Bet 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, SB calls. Flop: (8 SB) A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, SB calls. Turn: (6 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises</font>, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG+1 calls. River: (12 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 folds, Hero calls. Final Pot: 14 BB Next one primarily screwed up, I think, when I wiffed on an attempt at a turn check raise. Was that a moronic idea in that spot? Ultimate Bet 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, Hero calls. Flop: (4.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls. Turn: (4.25 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, UTG+1 checks.

Hand 1 isn't really a blind defense persay, since you were the preflop raiser. You could maybe have used a bet/fold line on the river there, as it seems unlikely that the Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] is out there and you'd hate for this one to get checked around with nobody holding the flush. But I don't hate check/call either when you're getting 13:1 closing the action.
As for Hand 2, I'm not at all familiar with the typical level of competition on UB 2/4, but I don't dislike a turn c/r if you can pull it off there. Although actually I'd go with a stop & go and lead the turn...you actually do have a very strong draw, and that J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] is a big-time scare card. Given your bet/call on the flop I have to think that he's folding UI overcards if you lead the turn. |
