A couple early TPTK hands
I'd like to make an effort to start posting more hands rather than just responding, because... well, I am not really doing that good (~18% ROI over ~500 11s/22s).
Here are a couple early TPTK hands, one that I think is standard, the other that maybe I FPS'd myself into a fold. FPS! : Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter BB (t800) UTG (t800) UTG+1 (t800) UTG+2 (t800) MP1 (t785) MP2 (t800) MP3 (t785) Hero (t800) Button (t785) SB (t845) Preflop: Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">6 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t50</font>, Button calls t50, SB calls t40, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>. Flop: (t162.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t90</font>, Button calls t90, SB folds. Turn: (t342.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, Button checks. River: (t342.50) 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t350</font>, Hero folds. Final Pot: t692.50 Standard (3-Flush, TPTK): Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter UTG+2 (t800) Hero (t785) MP2 (t795) MP3 (t635) CO (t1105) Button (t800) SB (t710) BB (t800) UTG (t785) UTG+1 (t785) Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t75</font>, MP2 calls t75, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, UTG+1 calls t60. Flop: (t247.50) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Converter screws up. Hero bets t150. MP2 pushes. Folds to Hero, who calls. Thoughts? I'll explain my AQ hand in a bit (maybe it's totally standard), but first I'd like to hear why it sucks. |

Re: A couple early TPTK hands
Hand 1:
I think you have to bet the flop a little more aggressively to eliminate the flush and straight draws. Maybe 2/3 pot - pot sized bet. Why did you check the turn? KJ or 99 are the only hands that would make that card scary. I think not betting costed you the hand. Hand 2: I don't know if it's correct, but I would play the same. However, I could see a hand like A9 or A10 (with the A being diamonds) being played the same. |

Re: A couple early TPTK hands
i like hand 2 a lot ... a lot of PP players at 11s/22s will bluff at a lot of 3 flush flops
hand 1, TPTK, you should be betting 100 - 125 IMO ... although i understand you're trying to make it look like a continuation bet ... after thinking about it thats exactly what you're doing, and hoping that he takes a shot at the pot on the turn so you can c/r him, but i dont know if thats best way to take because if hes on a heart draw you just gave him a free card ... river fold is standard then after that |

Re: A couple early TPTK hands
Hand 1 I fire 200 on the turn rather routinely. This is a super draw heavy board, too many to check into what is now a medium to nice sized pot.
Hand 2 I play exactly the same as you. I mean exactly! Well, I could consider a fold if I knew the all-in raiser was super tight otherwise, but I don't mind racing one diamond with all that money in the pot already. Maybe it's too much of a gamble? P.S. 18% over 500 11s/22s is not bad! |
