Entire HH from mini step 5

[yabastid]

I hear ya, but I just hate these kind of hands with so many to a flop. If I do hit two pair and the turn/river counterfeits my 3's I'm hating life. I play UBER tight early on and there's just too many ways to get in trouble with this hand. With so many limpers someone's gotta be lookin for a set and if it hits I'm just gonna feel like an [censored] for getting involed with J3o. Even at 10:1 I don't like it.

I'd make it 400 here, you must have a very tight table image here, and I don't hate a steal with this kind of hand.

I'd make it 500 or 600 here. Why 1k?

[nWirb]

Sorry, was looking trough your HH while you posted the 88 reply. If you make it 1000 you might aswell push, and think a push is fine here too, but I like a raise to 600 more.

This may be a preference thing, but I hate getting called or pushed on, having to give up the hand, and be at sub 10BBs. I agree with your table image assessment, but when I open up and start stealing I like to do it with higher blinds and I like to push. Normal raising with 10-12 BBs just doesn't feel right.
Thank you, nWirb, sir, for posting so many questions, it really gets me thinking.

I like you coming over the top of pokeridi0t, he seems to be loose. I probably would have gone all in no matter who raise as the blinds to stack ratio is high. Everyone needs a bit of luck (Coin flip and getting original raiser out of pot)

#Game No : 2402608988

Don’t think you can fold the all in reraise, and anyway it is your friend pokeridi0t. Nice double up, hope you start using your stack from now on.

#Game No : 2402621381

This raise was too small. I think you still would have been called, so you probably saved your self come chips.

#Game No : 2402628620

You are itm at this stage, so I also call here. You have ~1000 chips if you lose and chip lead if you win.

#Game No : 2402632651

I find this hand interesting. I have seen pokeridi0t fold to a reraise so I might try reraising. My only hesitation is his stack is nearly equal in size. I would have called ravman616 all-in if I was still in the pot. I would be interested to read the differing view on this hand.

#Game No : 2402651391, #Game No : 2402660188

Nice all in, I find it hard to respect any of pokeridi0t's raises.


From here on you got nice hands, push, push, push (As you did)

You are right it was too small. I was just hoping a miniraise could take it down. I did get lucky that I was able to get out of the hand easily with the allin. This indecision may be a leak in my game- although it worked here.

I HATE small PP in this situation regardless of who's raising. I think I fold this 99.9% of the time barring some insane gambool urge.

there are numerous poorly played hands in all honesty, your win is a function of having the best hands thats all.
