Two hands for your consumption -$25pl
I'm a novice at the pot limit game, and hence frequently find myself in situations without a clue. Here's two
hand 1: Game #924312063: Texas Hold'em Pot Limit ($0.15/$0.25) - 2005/08/24 - 17:32:51 (ET) Table "Fern" Seat 10 is the button. Seat 1: Gary02052 ($44.10 in chips) Seat 2: scooby do sits out Seat 3: Withey ($27.55 in chips) Seat 4: 91scully ($42 in chips) Seat 5: Mach001 ($29.70 in chips) Seat 6: playittig ($7.85 in chips) Seat 7: phil123 ($22.37 in chips) Seat 8: Hero ($22.10 in chips) Seat 9: Clarkeytg ($50 in chips) Seat 10: Cboggs ($18.25 in chips) Withey: posts big blind $0.25 ----- HOLE CARDS ----- dealt to Hero A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 91scully: calls $0.25 Mach001: folds playittig: folds phil123: raises to $1 Hero: raises to $2.50 Clarkeytg: folds Clarkeytg sits out Cboggs: folds Withey: calls $2.25 91scully: calls $2.25 phil123: calls $1.50 ----- FLOP ----- [8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] Withey: bets $0.25 91scully: calls $0.25 phil123: calls $0.25 Hero: raises to $7 Withey: calls $6.75 Mari12051 joins the table at seat #2 91scully: folds phil123: folds ----- TURN ----- [8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] Withey: bets $0.25 Hero: calls $0.25 ----- RIVER ----- [8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Withey: bets $0.25 Hero: calls $0.25 ----- SHOW DOWN ----- <font color="white"> Withey: shows [Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] (Two Pairs, Queens and Eights, Nine high) Hero: mucks hand Withey collected $24.25 from Main pot </font> His 25c bet looked weak, so I thought I'd represent a big pair. Should I have raised less or simply called? Hand 2: Game #924151483: Texas Hold'em Pot Limit ($0.15/$0.25) - 2005/08/24 - 17:19:20 (ET) Table "Fern" Seat 1 is the button.

But what else to do? Pot the flop? Check flop and pot no diamond river? I've been stacked before with top and bottom pair and this was even worse, so I went into calling station mode hoping to hit a king or a two |

Re: Two hands for your consumption -$25pl
Hand 1: Two people cold called your reraise preflop plus the original raiser. Doesn't seem like a good spot for this sort of play--I think a lot of players at this level will call with any overpair which is a very likely holding given preflop action.
Hand 2: I probably would fold this preflop, but if you're going to play it I think you have to make one decent sized bet on the flop. If no one has a flush yet, you probably have the best hand and need to make people pay to draw. If you get any action, I'd probably shut down. |
