I would raise preflop, fold flop. As played, raise turn bigger. I'd feel comfortable getting all in on the turn given your short buy in.

You play limit, don't you?
Edit: That said, the difference between folding and calling is probably pretty minor. |

Re: My Ist hand post - 2/4 NL Stars
nah, not a limit player by trade.
but a pair + overcard and backdoor draw against a really weak-ass continuation bet and a passive call of the c-bet. and we have position throughout the hand? i call. hah, but hey, you're the pooh-bah. teach me. |

Re: My Ist hand post - 2/4 NL Stars
Ooh, I'm scared by the responsibility. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Honestly, calling isn't bad. Generally speaking, I dislike passively calling small bets into big pots, I prefer to either raise or fold. With a bet and a call on a coordinated board, Hero isn't strong enough to put in a proper raise without being committed with a marginal hand, so I would generally fold.
As far as the pot odds go, if I recall correctly from my limit hold'em days, a 5 out draw needs 8.2-1 to take a card off. 5-1 immediate isn't enough to justify a call. We probably have the implied odds to continue, this just isn't a spot where I'd typically do so for the reasons outlined above. It really doesn't matter very much though, to be honest. |

Thanks for the responses. Not alot of thought really goes into my poker game at the moment. But I'm trying to work through some old HHs looking for frequent mistakes and places where I can improve, so getting these critques should be a huge help. Malachi- why raise pre flop?

Re: My Ist hand post - 2/4 NL Stars
What are you trying to acomplish with the all in bet on the river? Are you representing the flush and trying to get trips to fold? Once villan has checked to you to make any money on your bet he has to call with a worse hand than yours, either a lower two pair or 1 pair, since there is an ace on the board he probably won't call with 1 pair and by the look of it that isn't what he has. The only 2 pair hand that he would raise with pre flop and would fit this board is 9 10 or 78, as 78 beats you are you putting him on 9 10?.
I think villan has trips and you've just wasted $90. |
