Some tricky hands from my first .5/1 limit session

The Legend · #1 03-16-2005, 02:25 AM

I just started playing limit (after playing 25NL and 10+1 NL SNGs). Just read SSHE and wanted to try it out. Lemme know what you think of how I played these hands.

In hand 1 I wouldn't cap the flop. If he checks the turn, I bet. If he bets the turn, I call down.

In hand 2, fold this preflop.

Fold pre-flop facing a raise in hand two.

Hand 1: After capping the flop, SB obviously thinks he's still good or is overplaying a good flush draw (AKs,KQs etc). But the pot is too big, you have to call it down.

Hand 2: Fold preflop. Postflop looks good.

Yea, calling that raise with 22 was a hangover from NL implied set odds... I won't do that anymore. But, after that, how would you play that set with the 3 flush on the board?

Depending on my read of SB, I 3-bet that turn.

SB shows the ol' 22 for a flopped set, takes it down. Very next hand, I get the 22, and also flop a set. However, SB had 96 of hearts for a flopped flush and beat me. So, most of you think that the main mistake was calling with 22 pre-flop, but other then that, nothing big. Coo. Thanks a lot
