NOTHING I can do here except reraise more on the flop, right? Still, that prolly wouldnt have done anything since he called the turn pot bet.

Did I get too aggressive here? If I acted after him, chances are I would have checked behind on the river. But, I feel like I win this enough times against busted flush/str8 draws to say that this was OK though it didnt work this time.

Final Pot: $121.50

SB shows A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] for the nut flush, and BB shows KK for the full house

I felt this hand played like BB has A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and is drawing. SB has either a set or a lower flush. Do the relative stack sizes make my allin a bad move? I HAVE to think that I'm ahead almost all the time here.

Hand 1: pssssh you know that this is just a bad beat.

Hand 4: pssssh again, you really think that you're going to get away from this?

Hands 2 and 3: I need reads on your opponents to help you out.

amoeba · #3 07-14-2005, 03:51 PM

on hand 2, I 1/2 pot the turn, check call the river.

on hand 3, I don't think you have enough to get away. if you were deeper, it might have played out differently.

hand 1 is just bad beat post.

hand 4 is unfortunate, oh well. most of the time I think you are good here.

1)Villain's all-in is bad news, but you're in too far. I agree with other posters that it might be different if you were deeper-stacked.

2)Again, this may have gone differently if you'd been deeper-stacked, but by the time the river rolls around, you've already committed most of your stack to this hand...plus the fact that the Villain never gave any indication of where he was...could've had a weak A or something...I dunno...tough hand.

3)I would say a smidge too aggro. You don't have a heart for a possible redraw, so any two has you, but I can't tell b/c I don't know how the SB called you...if it was immediate or he thought about it, nor do I have reads on him.

4)The only problem I have is that on the flop, you didn't slow down against the reraise after your raise to think. I'm not saying that I could've gotten away from the hand, but pushing here seems to be silly when there is a very obvious hand that beats you. A reraise here does not suggest a set, especially in the light of your raise. I'm not saying lay it down, necessarily, but at least hold up a minute, maybe wait 'til the turn and see how reraiser acts.
