definitely not used to this structure or SnG's...

should i be raising PF? i've been trying to avoid that unless i have a monster, or i'll be able to push.

Didn't know what to make of that small turn bet.. so i decided to call it and then call a smallish river bet. Then he bet (near) pot and i didnt know what was good.

This an alright line? or did i fold the best hand here too often?

Hey Exit - I think the buyin amount would be helpful. Different answers to different buyin amounts.

Exitonly · #4 10-23-2005, 08:39 AM

$10.

(and i suck at these. Hard. Don't get it)

Doylestown · #5 10-23-2005, 08:46 AM

It's been a while since I've played a $10. I think playing the hand stronger from the outset is probably the right answer. The $10 players will chime in and let you know.

I'm uber weak tight level 1. That said, I fold AQo preflop UTG+2. I don't know, maybe I'm losing chips doing this, but it's easier for me to just wait til the blinds are higher or when I have better position.

Exitonly · #7 10-23-2005, 08:54 AM

I was really considering this, and think i might start folding this that early.

With the blinds so low, I try my best not to get involved without monster hands. I play ridiculously tight for the first couple levels. So I would have folded AQo early position.

I think you played it good from the flop on.

Exit thinking more about it the only thing I really don't like is the limp. Raising or folding seems better preflop. Don't want to take AQ against too many opponents OOP. Seems the $10 players are advocating a fold here.

You'd feel a lot better about your fold if you had raised the turn.

That said, I'm usually raising this preflop. Most of the time you will see a bunch of folds but most likely when you do get callers you will be in position (the blinds or the limper).
