Several hands (long)

SomethingClever · #1 05-25-2005, 12:23 AM

Ok, it's been 10k hands and I'm still down a minor amount. I've had a 20k run of essentially breakeven poker before, so I know it's not the end of the world. But I feel like I suck.

Here are a bunch of hands. I know it's more than I should put in one post, but oh well. If anyone wants to look them over I appreciate it.

Here are my thoughts, useless as they may be:

Hand 1

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 1 fold, CO 3-bets, 2 folds, Hero calls.

Hero bets, CO raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 10.70 BB

[/ QUOTE ]

I would generally fold this preflop from UTG. Given that you didn't, I prefer a check-raise on the turn, folding to a three-bet. Finally, I would have folded to the river raise. Given how passively you played it, and your desire to get to showdown, why not check/call the river even with the possibility that it gets checked through?

Looks fine to me. I assume you led the flop anticipating the button raise to drive out the BB?

[/ QUOTE ]

I am torn here. I tend to discredit the preflop 3-bet by CO given his open limp. The dynamics of the situation may have come into play in this one - had you been liberally raising your button with limper(s) in front of you? While I have a hard time convincing myself to cap this preflop, I have noticed other (winning) players doing this. Beyond that, I've noticed that you are playing a lot of these hands fairly passively post-flop. Perhaps a raise on the turn to see where you stand?

Another hand in which you lead the river and call the raise. Again, I would try to define things better on the turn.

Overall I think that you are too determined to get to showdown without defining your opponents hands. I may be way off.

Thanks for your comments.

Couple things. I am trying to get to showdown more, as my wtsd is only like 31. At other shorthanded levels, it's more like 34 or 35.

These are also somewhat unusual hands; I am not a passive player. My aggression stats are approximately 2.9, 2.9, 1.8.

Hand 6 is either a misclick or converter error. I don't normally defend my SB with K9o like that.
