Too Aggressive?

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
4 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Hero raises, SB calls, BB calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (12 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets, CO calls, Hero raises, SB folds, BB folds, MP2 folds, MP3 calls, CO calls.

My rational for this raise was to try and thin the field. I figured that if I spike a ten or an ace on the turn or river then I'm in a better place with fewer players. Plus, if a blank come on the turn then I might get a free card.

Turn: (9 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
MP3 checks, CO checks, Hero checks.

River: (9 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
MP3 bets, CO calls, Hero folds.

Final Pot: 11 BB

hey sandman-

you played the hand fine, although i would probably just limp preflop.

Prior to reading SSH I would have too. But since reading that book my play over all is much better. Something just clicked and I have a much deeper understanding of this game than ever before. And I had read several of Sklansky & Malmuth's books before this one. Thanks for the input.

i am not sure i understand. i dont think raising here is correct (if you were the CO, then yes)

Why would raising at CO be okay but not at the button. BTW what does CO stand for, I know it's between MP3 and the button.

CO= cut off It's the seat the dealer offers a cut to if you play a hmoe game.

If you raise from the CO you might buy the button.
