My biggest hand to date, should I even have been involved?
Game is a fishtank. Critiques welcome on preflop and flop play. I think preflop might be OK?!? And on the flop, I played that with my eyes closed while holding my breath, but I think it was the right line, no?
Hero ($210)--bought in $250, lost previous hand AQ vs all-in shorties 77, didn't reload yet. MP1 ($650) MP2 ($550)--big fish CO ($166)--average player: if I set up, won't be able to let go of TP or overpair. $1/$3 NLHE 8-handed (1/3 blinds, $6 is minbet on turn) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $1. Hero calls $3, 1 fold, MP1 calls $3, MP2 calls $3, CO raises to $18, 3 folds, Hero calls $15, MP1 calls $15, MP2 raises to $36, CO calls $18, Hero calls $18, MP1 calls $18. Flop: ($144) 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (4 players) </font> Hero checks, MP1 checks, MP2 bets $31, CO pushes all-in for $130, Hero calls $130, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $99. Turn: ($534) 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (3 players, 1 all-in) </font> Hero pushes all-in for $44, MP2 calls $44. River: ($622) 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue"> (3 players, 2 all-in) </font> Results in white: <font color="white">Hero shows 66, three of a kind sixes MP2 shows JTo, for Jack high. CO shows JJ, for one pair of Jacks Hero scoops the biggest pot he can remember taking down, $622</font> |

Re: My biggest hand to date, should I even have been involved?
without looking at the results i like it - the c-c on the flop mightve been a little dangerous, but everyone was aggro so it worked out.
you're probably going up against AA and JJ or somethin' nh. .edit (in white as not to spoil) <font color="white"> JTo - WTF????? </font> |

preflop i lay this down to the initial raise. you're on the high end of the 5/10 rule, out of position, and getting poor pot odds. The second time around its an easy call.
I really like the flop check. 3 players behind you, 2 of them raised preflop, and you're in no rush to build a pot. I think pushing is better than calling when it comes back to you, but thats minor. |

Re: My biggest hand to date, should I even have been involved?
My first reaction was to lead the flop, but as I considered the preflop betting and stack sizes I think your check was the better play.
The only negative I see is calling 15% of your stack preflop. You're a 7 1/2 - 1 dog and you want to get 10X your preflop when you hit these. Very poor odds to call this, but how sweet it is when you hit. When you lead a good clean life you get breaks like this. Where do I find this game? |

Re: My biggest hand to date, should I even have been involved?
I think the rule of 5 & 10 makes preflop a clear fold, but I must admit that given your position, the structure and the huge overlay, I would have been very tempted to call too.
Was this a live game? Edit: Oh, aside from the preflop action, the rest seems fine to me. |

Re: My biggest hand to date, should I even have been involved?
No, it wasn't live...happened about an hour ago online. (am playing a $2/$5 game at the moment following a few of these fish around) [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
Preflop. $15 to call first one. Barely within 5/10, no? And second call has to be made I think regardless of 5/10. EDIT: sat down at this 2/5 table with the MP1 and MP2 of the OP hand. I played one orbit, paying blinds only, didn't get a hand. Within that orbit MP1 and MP2 dropped about $500 between them and left...and so I left too, back to where the waters are calmer for my current temperment and bankroll. |

I think you got squeezed pre-flop but always made the right decision. Ignore this if you haven't looked at the results and I know its not kosher, but could you tell us MP2's screenname? He would be on my buddy list for life.
