First NL live casino game: how'd I play?

[CaptainNoBeard]

hand 1- seems fine.

hand 2- a little more information (stack sizes?) would help, but it seems fine.

hand 3- easy there. encourage some action with AA... you won't get nearly as much as you'd like with 7.5XBB openers. 3 or 4 XBB is a fine open-raise.

Most of the guys had stacks in the several hundreds. I felt a little intimidated having to make a 50 dollar bet against these guys, but looking at JJ I knew what I needed to do and get heads-up against shortstacked villain to win his 23 dollars.

Yeah I thought so, I knew it was an overbet. Since I was under the gun, I had planned to leave the table anyway after that hand. I was just so delighted to see AA and maybe unconsciously, I did what I did so I could grab the blinds and get the heck out of there. Oh, careful what you wish for...that's exactly what happened and nobody played with me.

Thanks for the feedback.

Dont show your cards. What do you hope to accomplish by this, letting everyone know to fold when you have AA?

yeah, probably the worst thing you can do is let the table know you're playing scared

Okay, point taken. Though, I knew I was leaving right after that hand (they didn't know that). It was just fortunate for me that I got AA on the last free hand before I needed to pay blinds. Maybe they will never ever see me again, I don't get down to AC much (and they never saw me before). Hopefully I'll slink into the shadows of anonymity for a while [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

I wanted to "bolt out of there" not only because I was slightly scared. There were other factors--I needed to get back to the hotel to pack and check out. With a "juicy" game such as that and given more time, maybe I would have stuck around for more orbits.

But I'll definitely keep the no-show thing in mind. Thanks.
