Two shitty hands.
Hello. Yesterday was a really shitty poker day. I lost two $50 buy ins in 90 minutes and didn’t recover completely so the day ended with about a $50 loss. I hate loosing. After the week end ultra-fishy home games my game is usually at it’s lowest on Mondays, since the fish drag my game down in the water to their level (well, not really, I doubled up Saturday night being re-raised and then called PF when I pushed AA, opponent had 8 9 o, things like that all night). So, I doubt my play was right in the two following hands:
Hand 1. $0.5 BB. 7-8 handed. I’m in BB with 66. My read on mp2 is that up until that point he is a frequent bluffer. And the way he bluffs is a bit unorthodox, he will re-re-re-re-re-raise HU with nothing. He will also try stealing pots by open betting post flop. I have about $50 and he’s got me covered. MP2, CO and SB limps. I check Flop 2 6 9 rainbow SB checks I check CO bets for $2 Fold Fold I call Turn is 4c. I Raise $10 MP2 raises to $15 I Call River is K (no flush possible) I bet $10 He raises to $20 I push for about $22 He calls Results later. I usually don’t slow play sets when the board is even semi-dangerous, but I didn’t really see a hand on this board other than a higher set, especially since both blinds folded. Should I have pushed the turn? Or should I have just called or even folded the river? What hands do you put him on? All advice appreciated. Hand 2 This hand I think I messed up even worse than hand one. .50BB. 9 handed. I’m in MP with Ac Jc. Villain is UTG with about $30, I have him covered. No real read. UTG limps I limp 2 limpers behind me and BB checks Flop As Ks Js UTG bets 5.50 I raise to 12 Fold Fold Fold UTG goes all in I call Turn 8s River 3s I really wasn’t thinking before calling here. After his opening bet I put him on A x, maybe x was a spade, but I later realized he could be on a variety of hands. AK? AJ? Right after I called I realized he probably had a low flush, wanting to protect it. How big underdog am I against a low flush here? I figured he could also be on nut flush draw, or flush draw+ straight draw. I really feel I shouldn’t have called his all in, but I’m also concerned if my re-raise on the flop was the correct move. Should I have called or folded or raised more? What is the probability of someone flopping a flush when 5 people see the flop and the flop is 1-suited? Thanks in advance everyone |

Re: Two shitty hands.
Not sure about hand 1, I think you played it ok.
Hand 2, I would fold this. |

Re: Two shitty hands.
I think you played the first hand alright. No straight draw, no flush draw. The only thing he could have is a higher set and then you're basically going to lose all your money anyway, so why not give him a free card to induce the bluff? I think thats fine. If you lost that hand, you're just unlucky.
Hand 2: You flop 2 pair and raise out of position with a lot of players in the pot. I don't like this. With four or five guys in the hand, there's an excellent chance that someone already has the flush. I would check/fold. When you raised and someone reraised, that screams "I have the flush!" No point playing back at him. Again, get out... |

Thanks. Well. As I thought, hand one I played alright but I should have folded to UTGs push on hand two or even to his opening bet. hand 1 MP2 had 3 5 s, and hand 2 had Qs 6s. Who calls from UTG with Q 6? This is one of my problems, I sometimes can't believe the hands people limp with out of position. Guess you can expect any kind of weird hand playing .25/.25 online. Is it just me, or is villian in hand two playing his flopped nut straight awfully from UTG? Making a 2x pot sized bet when flopped the nuts. Especially since there is a good chance someone is on a straight draw. Well, he got me, which I'm pretty dissappointed in myself for.
