Session review

[jt1]

you should have picked up on balsen early in this game. He's a LAG big time. game 600300906, you have ATs and the flop has 2 Kings and a 3. You're on the button against 3 other players and it's checked to you. You probably have the best hand. Bet fold unless the raiser is balsen.

btw...playing on and off pro for the last 2 years at different levels..right now 3/6

I don't have much 6-max experience just a lil at .5/1 but I thought I'd have a look anyways. Just started looking through the hands you lost on so far. Sorry for the ugly post, didn't see a converter for prima.

hand 600282597
you have K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG, you raise 4 stay.

6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] flop (9sb)
checked around, button bets, sb raises, so its 12sb to you.

With a paired board, Loose opponents, an only K high is this the correct call?

hand 600244454
you have J 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in sb, button raise, 3 to flop

2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] flop(7sb)
you bet, CO calls, button raises, you call, CO calls

5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] turn(6.5bb)
you check, CO bets, button raises and you're forced out.

with the LAG button and top pair would a flop 3-bet not be in order and lead out turn if flop isn't capped? Like I said, I'm new to 6-max but I don't like folding TP this easily.

I'll look at the rest later and post if I see much else.

pair of queens with an ace on the turn, possible straight, possible flush and you folded the river to one bet....i'd check his aggression level...it's not a terrible fold, but i'm looking for an excuse to call - pot was big

[jt1]

600295095

T2s in sb, you flop tp. good cr...lead the turn

[jt1]

very next hand: AJo in bb, one pfr folded to you - you call and flop a gutshot. check his numbers and consider check raising and leading turn. your play may have been correct for the situation but my line is also sometimes correct

hand 600315376: I don't mind just calling here, though, I'd strongly consider raising. It depends on the aggro factor of my opponent. If the board didn't need a TJ to complete a straight then I'd raise almost all the time. People love to play TJ

(KQs on the button)

Agreed
I considered a raise, but this guy was fairly passive early on in these hands(His AF increased graduall through the session).

A raise was a serious consideration though.

board is paired and you have the other card. Bet it! You probably have the best hand

[/ QUOTE ]

Disagree
its 2KK flop, i hold T2, I may not even have the best two(Minor worry).

HOWEVER, These guys WILL NOT FOLD and every card in the pack bar 2 twos(Unless someone has a KING) can ruin my hand.

Torn on this one, I feel two of my opponents wouldnt fold(The two MAJOR LAGS/LPPs). Also others liked to slow play with these guys around the table so i felt a bet would be spewing with very little fold equity.

Agree
My thinking was, he loves to bet when checked to and he likes to bluff. If i bet he may respect it and fold, Checking i thought would induce a bet from him on the turn(After he passes the turn, he seems to go to showdown with anything). Also as i 2paired up river bet was obvious(Tempting C/r though).

Hmm
I don't like it because i dont see him folding, Although yeah i guess C/r and bet turn has more chance of a fold.

It's 3 way and you have top two. Going for a cr is good poker but check folding the very probable best hand because 1)they could catch you on the turn or 2) there hiding a better hand is playing scared.

You're getting 12:1 to make 2nd best hand.

Because the board is paired, there is only a small chance that someone hit. Anyone except Balsen who did not hit on this flop will fold. Thus, you can safely check through the turn and fold the river UI against everyone but Balsen. But in essence, it's a value bet. You'd prefer it if Balsen folded but you rather him call with air then give him a free card. Besides, you have plenty of outs to improve against a pp or a 5's and a bet should give you a free card if one of the other players called along with Balsen.
