2 Hands = No Clue
Been dabbling in the Party 15/30 game when a table looks good. I still struggle with the best line for these hands.
Hand 1 MP3 had open raised the previous hand with A-3s. No read on the button. I post in the CO and am dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. Folded to MP3 who raises, I 3-bet, button caps, blinds fold, MP3 and I call. Flop [A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]. MP3 bets. Hand 2 J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in the CO. UTG raises, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, I call, both blinds call. 6 to the flop for 6 BB's. Flop [K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]]. Blinds check, UTG checks, MP1 bets, MP2 calls. Raise or call? I just called, SB folded, BB called, UTG called. 5 to the turn for 8.5 BB. Turn [K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] giving me 2 pair. BB checks, UTG checks, MP1 bets, MP2 raises. Action? Thanks! |

Re: 2 Hands = No Clue
raise hand 1. MP3 could have ace anything, and the buttong capping could easily have KK, QQ, 1010 or even another AQ.
hand 2 Since you are just stepping up and learning I would fold this preflop. Alot of value from the call here comes from outplaying your opponents postflop, you dont have good enough feel yet. So you should fold preflop, raise the flop, Fold the turn. Edit: Had pot odds messed up. |

[/ QUOTE ] Heed this advice. Having to ask the questions about raising the flop and the action on the turn, this is a hand that you're probably better off mucking and analyzing how you WOULD have played it. This hand picks up more than it's fair share in lots of situations, but you definitely need the post-flop lines to be your best. As for these hands... Play hand 1 fast. Raise hand two on the flop, fold the turn. |

Re: 2 Hands = No Clue
Hand 1:
FLOP: Any reads on the button or MP3? You could be ahead against MP3 but the button might have a big pair preflop. I don't know what to do with flop either since there are several draws to beat you if your not beaten yet. The only hands I can see button having by capping preflop is AA-99, AK/AKs. Since MP3 is semi-loose, he's likely to have the flush or straight draw, or Ax rag. I'm probably going to raise the flop in hopes that CO folds a better holding. If he cold-calls I am convinced that I am beat, probably check/folding the turn. THOUGHTS? Hand 2: FLOP: Since you were the last to act I'll raise in this position. Your raising here because if your position and because you already made a mid pair and you have two backdoor flush and straight draw. TURN: Its real close, your getting enough odds to chase the 4 solid outs for your full house but you won't know if a reraise will happen from the players who checked. If you think that a reraise will not happen because the players who checked is passive then the call is OK. I just hate cold-calling here because the T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] came and that makes straight and flush draws on the board. |

Re: 2 Hands = No Clue
I think I made a small error on Hand 1. I think instead of folding the TURN if button cold-calls, the better play would be to fire out again. Preflop, he could have a big pair even AK. If he doesn't show any aggression postflop I'll consider my hand to be good and play it standard.
Any comments what to do if button 3-bets the flop after you c/raised MP3? I'm considering a fold here, my Q could set someone up for a redraw. I don't have much outs either since the flush draw is on the board. |

Re: 2 Hands = No Clue
1 raise; can there be a better flop?
2 fold; probably beaten at the moment; you need a J or T if not already against a set or better two pair and beaten if the river brings it. odds against you about 11:1 and pot odds don't justify a call. |
