Comments on Hand
Any comments or suggestions on if I played this hand correctly. I'm a new player, so I'm trying different things in an effort to learn what I can get away with.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) converter MP1 (t1450) MP2 (t1675) MP3 (t30) CO (t2725) Button (t1325) SB (t1960) Hero (t1460) UTG (t1015) UTG+1 (t1860) Preflop: Hero is BB with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, CO calls t30, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, SB completes, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t120</font>, CO calls t90, SB calls t90. Flop: (t360) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t300</font>, CO folds, SB calls t300. Turn: (t960) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks. River: (t960) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> SB checks, Hero checks. Final Pot: t960 Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF"> SB has Qs 4s (one pair, queens). Hero has Js As (high card, ace). Outcome: SB wins t960. </font> I felt with the pre-flop bet I could take down the pot, but didn't really like getting two callers. After the flop, I had a lot of outs, and might already have been ahead, so I bet fairly strong because of 2 players still in. I would have been happy to take the pot right here. Once I got called by SB on my post-flop bet, I felt that SB must have caught at least a piece of the flop. I would have never guessed he was drawing to the flush based on the pot odds I gave him. Decided to take the free card on the turn and river to try and catch the flush (or an A) as I felt I was beat at this point based on how the hand had played out. I thought about trying to steal on the river, but thought I would only get called if I was beat. Is my thinking ok on this hand? Thanks in advance, I've learned a lot from this forum in only a few weeks. John |
