Default Re: A Couple of $25 Hands

Hand 1: Nice flop action. On the turn, either check-call or lead the pot. Putting a medium-sized bet out there is just going to build a pot when you either want to keep it small at this point (check-call being the best option) or take it down without a river (lead for pot).

Hand 2: Preflop, I would just call the raise. Disguise you hand, keep chips behind so you can check-raise the player who raised PF when you catch a nice flop, and get away from a flop of say 9QK cheap. 4-low-card hands can get expensive if you're sticking in big re-raises PF. I prefer A23K to A234/5. On the flop, I know you're now committed, but why not just check-call? You're not going to pick up the pot with this bet; therefore, the best option is to try to get maximum callers. But the PF re-raise is the biggest problem with this one.

Hand 2--At small limits I would only raise with hands that can scoop the whole pot and A235 all offsuit isn't it.

*for the record* 2 of the wheel cards where suited, making it slightly better than a completely offsuit hand*

I do appreciate the advice though.

In the first hand you appear to be in early position but with your hand is it still not a pot bet pre flop to try and clear out trash like cybermonkey9? If not why raise pre flop in the second hand out of position? I am still new at pot limit, can anyone clarify.

I wanted to encourage someone to pot if pre-flop as a steal so I could re-pot it, very aggressive table. That was my only chance as I had awful position. Making it .85 isn't really going to discourage a person who likes to play garbage hands for .25

But it does make them pay over 3x as much to play it. Pot it.

I hate to say it, but the spiteful villains at $25 know that a raise to .85 in EP spells Aces, and gives them more incentives to hit their 2-pair.

I almost hate to see Aces UTG for pot reasons. I really feel you have to limp and pray for raise/re-raise at a full table. Even with UTG+1 or UTG+2 you make a respectable raise. Howver, in LP or on the button you can really juice it up.

A dry 2 pair is usually a slight dog on the flop to AA with a low draw. I pot it preflop and I don't care one bit if they call with J975 to hit their 2 pair and actually hit it. They are still going to be putting in a lot of money on the flop as a dog. I raise quite a few hands besides AA from EP.

That's why you raise other hands too.
