5 hands for review..

[Poker blog]

Hand 1: I'd call the flopraise, and then fold if you don't hit. This isn't a big deal though.

Hand 2: I'd probably check the river, but then I'm used to inducing bluffs shorthanded. It's prolly a good valuebet.

Hand 3: Ouch. I'm okay with how you played it though. It's generally better to raise preflop unless the ep will limp good hands, eg AJo.

Hand 4: I wouldn't raise preflop. Wouldn't play it at all. The cap is debatable. What do you put him on? AK, KK, AA? Would this guy 3bet with AA or AK? If he would, you cap. If not, you don't.

Hand 5: You picked a line and went with it. Ok.

I don't think you have any major leaks from anything here. Except maybe the QT preflop. I hardly ever play QT or KT, as I hate them.

Hand 1: I would've [censored] myself if that happened, but you made the correct play. that's far more important than you getting lucky and catching runner runner quads.

Hand 2: checking when the flush card hits would be terrible.

Hand 3: I'd muck preflop without hesitation, but I like how you played it postflop.

Hand 4: I'm confused by this preflop raise. QTo is crap. it's not the type of hand you want to use to try and isolate an UTG limper at a loose and passive table from the cutoff. the rest looks fine to me.

Hand 5: easy river cap. it's tough to give someone credit for a backdoor flush.


it seems like you're stuggling a little preflop, as far as understanding the strength of your hands. the good news is that you seem to play well postflop, which is a lot harder to be good at.
