* no reads on these players (something is up with my G+ software)

** TURN play went MP player checks to me-- I PUSH (I had less in chips than the pot was here...maybe like 3/4 of pot if I recall correctly)/ ---

*** is my play correct here...or too aggressive? what should i be thinking here?

i guess what i was thinking was that I had the ebst hand the whole way and perhaps the guy was playing like kj, aj or something...

could anyone give advice on this?

the flop action is unclear as well. YOu bet $10 and MP called $14.20?

Anyway, if he just called you on the flop I think your turn push is reasonable. I would have made a pot size bet on the flop I think.

3-bet bigger preflop. Many of your opponents will way, way overpay to see a flop, and then the remainder of the hand is very easy to play.

Always be aware of shortstacks in a 3-way pot. If you bet more than half of their stack but less than the whole thing, their allin will bloat the pot without reopening the betting for a raise from you.

lol- yeah ya know its funny-- i wanted to raise more pre-flop-- and i tried and looked up to see I must have accidentally entered a POT LIMIT game rather than NL...my error.

Does anyone know why the turn is not written in the converted hand? Also, the glitch in the flop where I pay $10 and it says the other guy calls $14.20, when what he did was go all in there for $14.20.

Am I missing something when I convert?

thanx

There's a new converter that works the same way but doesn't have these problems.
