As I look at it NOW, it starts to appear to be dumb. Should I have bet the flop? How's the call on the river?

.5/1 posts should generally be posted in the Micro-Limits forum.

Fold this hand preflop. Even though it is 6 handed you are best off letting this go against an UTG preflop raiser.

Bet the flop.

Raise the turn.

The river call is ok. I think you'll be good here better than 13% of the time so it's fine. Although being more aggressive on the early streets would give you a much better idea of where you were at.

Don't post your results in the initial post. It tends to affect the responses.

Just wanted to say that you answered that beautifully. In this type of game, I'd rarely call a raise cold with A9o, even with posiition.

no offense, but this type of thing is unacceptable. if you're going to post hands here, then at least do your homework and make some attempt to get better. if you read any decent book, you'd realize that this preflop call is awful, as is your flop play. hands like this just clutter this board.

and post these hands in the micro limit forum for now on please.

you should never cold-call with A9o, ever, no matter what type of game. you can raise a steal raise, but fold it to everything else. fold it preflop too unless you have the button or unless you can bring it in for a raise. with a crappy hand (and A9o is very crappy), you need to have some sort of advantage. either have the button or have control of the hand.

PF- don't call, fold
flop-don't check, bet
turn-don't call, raise
river-don't let yorself get into this position, you need to be much more aggressive earlier in the hand

I haven't read the results yet. Overall, I don't think you played this hand well. I actually don't agree with a single street.

Against a maniac, I reraise with this hand. That is along the lines of what I meant. I never would simply call.

Hey Josh, I nominate you as our SS police-person, since you're like our most zealous poster anyway. From now on, posts that should be in micro, assinine bad beat whines, and other posts that clearly indicate a total lack of understanding about how SS rules should only be responded by Sthief09. One response, minimal clutter, on to the next one.

Go get 'em.

poor Josh has his work cut out for him. Thanks to SSH there is now way he will be able to deal with the influx of this kind of stupidity. Gone are the days of "i love you ed, can i have your love child", hello the days od "calling UTG raise wit A9o and check/calling to river".

the SS forum is harder to deal with than 5/10 at party.
