10/20 hand reading exercise

Preflop: 2 broadways, most probably suited. KQ, AJ, AQ.

Flop: Top pair, good kicker. KQ, KJ, AK.

Turn: KQ, KJ, AQ.

River: KQ, AK.

Perhaps I'm just dense, but what about the river play excludes AQ? Are you thinking that it's too big a bet? Given the pot size, a stack with the AQ may well get a call.

Not too much about his post makes sense.

My initial thoughts were A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] due to the bet sizing, but each time that I've started to formulate a reply I've started having doubts about everything that I wrote.

haha, me too


then I talked to her directly, and thanked god I didn't actually reply to the post

Ugh. I did it again. Started writing and then realized I was wrong. I need to do this more often. I seem to learn a lot even if I can't explain anything.

The only thing that hasn't changed too much in my mind is that duck's flop raise looks like it doesn't want action (either to protect against a draw, or because she's on a draw herself). On the turn it now looks like she's trying to keep the guy in.

I went and wrote more again and deleted it because once again I keep contradicting myself.

It would really help though to get an idea of what sort of preflop range we're working with for a limp/call UTG+1. Most of the hands she posts simply involve betting and raising so when I see calling I just get confused. =(

Typo on the AK. I meant AQ.

Good; so it wasn't just me. I don't know why, but I parsed your post carefully, and did nothing but confuse myself. The prospect of a typo never crossed my mind. Amusing.
