Four handed abomination
ABOMINATION #1: Villian has been aggressive recently, and I haven't seen too many of his hands 3 handed. He takes his time but I've seen him do some stupid things.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (4 handed) converter Button (t1785) Hero (t2925) BB (t3760) UTG (t5030) Preflop: Hero is SB with 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to t300</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls t225, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>. Flop: (t750) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets t450</font>, Hero folds. Final Pot: t1200 ABOMINATION #2 JUSTIFICATION: I'd gotten the big stack by raising to 4BB and watching them fold. Now I'm at a point where if I raise to 4BB and they push, I have to call. So I'll save them the trouble and push myself. Does this make sense? PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t200 (4 handed) converter Hero (t7115) SB (t1475) BB (t1590) UTG (t3320) Preflop: Hero is Button with J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t3000</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls t1365 (All-In). Flop: (t4440) A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Turn: (t4440) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> River: (t4440) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players, 1 all-in)</font> Final Pot: t4440 I'm probably viewed as annoyingly aggressive throughout. I seriously need some help here. I hate to ruin the ending, but even with that huge stack in HAND #2, I finished OTM. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] Thanks in advance.

Re: Four handed abomination
Hand 1:
Check-raise all in. I don't see why you're even calling the PF raise if you won't even commit your chips on that flop. Hand 2: Try min-raising to steal blinds and folding to pushes as a way to mix it up. I find this can be effective. All told, I think the push was fine.

Re: Four handed abomination
I think the first hand is about as bad as it gets, how can you put him on an overpair with nothing more than a raise PF and a continuation bet. Especially when you said he was aggressive. A raise is in order on the flop at the very least.
Hand two I don't think is that bad, you're the big stack, blinds are decently high, and QJs is a decent hand. I'd be shoving there too.

Re: Four handed abomination
Personally I don't mind the first hand. You're getting 12-1 or something on your money to flop a set and stuck to the plan (There was a plan right?) of getting away cheaply if you missed.
It's limit dependent, but certainly in the lower limits I think this play is fine. Lori
