interesting 55 hand.. thoughts?

[Ryendal]

I don't really understand why you played this hand is this way. I would have fold preflop without any read. Then until the river could hav played it , in the same way and finally called his 350 bet. It could be a bluff since you show some weakness at the turn.

You answered to gumpzilla it wasn't your idea to call at the river.

meh, in some instances its tough to describe my thought processes. i autochecked on the flop for some reason.. and hte turn i actually almost just folded. i decided to call and play a river out, with the plan to fold to just about any bet over 100. lemmme see if i can dig up some results..

holla

the results dont really matter. the point is not the fact that i made a good river fold. the questioning was about the play of the hand. this is definitely NOT the traditional method to play the hand. i will bet that flop probably 90% of the time. my brain flips sometimes and controls my body on its own accord, hence the autocheck. anyways, it worked out. thanks for the input. i played 8 sngs today and am up 10 dollars. what now. holla

well, as i said, this isnt my traditional way to play the hand. but.. im not a very traditional person.. sometimes i get tricky. his river bet made me sure i was beat, and i got to find out anyways [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

as for the flop check.. it was one of those feelings ya sometimes get where yer body just moves without thought on instinct.. usually works out well for me though. wish it happened more often. holla

Ok, I need a little 'splainin' done. I play low stakes, and the info I've gotten here (for instance, Aelo's guide) tells me that AJos is trouble--surely not worth raisingin MP, right? Does this generalization change at the higher buy-ins? Is that because of the opponents' play or because Raptor is just a badazz?

You're in CO. AJ is not a great hand, but certainly worth raising folded to you in LP, along with a bunch of other hands.

AleoMagus's is a bit weak-tight, and tends to undervalue the power of position. Raising when folded to you allows you to pick up blinds, buy the button, and generally allow you outplay your opponents for cash.

Well, it's not quite enough for a real car, but you could get a matchbox car or some Legos to build a car.
