hand 1: raise flop?
hand 2: which one is 50/18?
hand 3: looks good. i don't know why you call yourself a calling station, i think the river wouldn't be that bad a call even.
hand 4: obviously you lost, a tag raising you on that blank turn means your top pair no kicker is likely not good. having said that, i'm not sure that you can fold the river either. you can with a stong enough read.

NLSoldier · #3 09-12-2005, 07:51 PM

hand 1-raise the flop
hand 2-i think its ok, id like a better read
hand 3-im assuming this river fold is a joke
hand 4-id probably raise preflop if UTG sucks. id strongly consider 3betting the turn. if you woulda folded the river i probably wouldnt even wasted my time replying to any of these hands.

looks to me like you are running bad and playing scared as a result.

in an unraised pot like this? I think hero is good here a ton of the time. TAG means tight AGRESSIVE, remember....

see? and you call yourself a calling station...

yeah i'm not folding this either. but the turn card was a total blank and he decided to raise... wtf is a tag limping utg then playing this way? since i don't know, i'm calling down. it's gotta be either a bluff or a monster i think. i just know he lost from the tone of the post. "do i have to call this river?"

oh [censored] by bad, I thought that the tag/villian was BB. now i def. dont consider 3betting the turn and am not so happy about calling the river.

Agree with what others said. You gotta raise flop in hand one and I think you must call that river in hand 3.
