Anybody interested? I can post them in this thread, or post the histories to download into PT.

Stick them in here, especially if you have comments on each hand. Let's try it as an experiment for a new Microposter format. I think I'll hold off on making this a sticky, however. Let's get some feedback on this, see how it works, and then we may port over to this new system later. Thanks for doing this.

Does anyone think it would help to have people request certain game conditions or the like?

Such as "I'm having trouble playing in really loose games, anybody have a session for review?"

You could maybe do the same for really tight games, to help when people play absolute or something.

Or you could request sessions from a given limit so that people can take a look before jumping up.

let's see 'em ben. i know you've had some frustrations learning 6-max.

Jefzter · #5 09-30-2005, 06:47 PM

Let em fly. I play full games so I would love to see action at the 6-max tables while keeping my $$ to myself!

One request please... can you number the hands 1, 2, 3, and so forth? The format of the current micro-poster hands with 69 digits is ridiculous.

OK, here's 16 hands. I took out all the obvious folds. Let me have it.

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is CO with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
2 folds, Hero raises, 1 fold, SB calls, BB calls.

Blind steal.

Flop: (6 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, SB calls, BB calls.

Continuation bet, but I think I could have checked this.

Turn: (4.50 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero checks.

Take the free card.

River: (4.50 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB checks, BB bets, Hero folds, SB raises, BB calls.

Final Pot: 8.50 BB

-----------------------------

Preflop: Hero is MP with J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

I hate the open limp here.

Flop: (5 SB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (5 players)
SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets, CO calls, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds.

Standard bet.

Turn: (4 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, CO folds, Button calls.

Standard, i presume. If I had met some resistance here, I think I would have called down.

River: (6 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero bets, Button folds.

Value bet.

Final Pot: 7 BB

------------------------

Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 4 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is Button with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
1 fold, Hero raises, 1 fold, BB calls.

Value raise/blind steal.

Flop: (4.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks.

I felt BB could c/r me with any part of this flop, so I choose to see a free flop.

Turn: (2.25 BB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets, BB folds.

I'm pretty much betting any 2 here as BB would have bet this turn with anything, when he checks, I bet and check behind the river if he calls.

Final Pot: 3.25 BB

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].

Raise here? I wasn't sure, oop I took a free look.

Flop: (3 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, Hero calls, Button calls.

Here I'd seen SB bet a few flops and fold to any aggression on later streets. My plan was to call here and raise any scare card.

Turn: (3 BB) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (3 players)
SB bets, Hero raises, Button folds, SB folds.

Final Pot: 5.50 BB

-----------------------

This one I'm banking on FE I might not have. I'd been playing tight this far and not showing down any weak hands, so I think my table image was good enough to pull this off.

Final Pot: 3 BB

This hand I got stuck in and should have folded on the turn. Didn't expect the action I got.

Final Pot: 15.25 BB

-----------------------------

This hand was fun. I went with my gut and my reads. I'd seen button overplay top pair, and the other LP's could be coming along with any part of this. Too much aggression?

A little loosish preflop on this one, but got the flop I was looking for.

Ya ya.

Turn: (3.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, Button folds, Hero calls.

Hmmmm, 3 bet here? Is he slowplaying a Q and hit his kicker? Semi bluffing a flush draw? This guy was new to the table, so I didn't have anything on him.

River: (7.50 BB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
Hero checks, BB bets, Hero folds.

Allright, I don't know if this is a call or not. After the turn raise, I just couldn't. If he was semi bluffing, MHING.

Can you say......luckbox? OK, how bad was this hand. I know the cap preflop was bad, cold calling the flop was meh, but on the turn I picked up a butt load of outs.

Question about the first hand…I haven’t read any other hands yet but wanted to ask this as soon as possible.

You tried for a blind steal, do you do this much at these low levels? I had heard that blind stealing was kind of pointless at micro levels but please correct me if I’m missing out on potential money making opportunities.

I do like to steal blinds like a fiend when in a NL tourney and your hand was the kind I look for. Betting the flop was the right follow through though with it still at small bets your not getting rid of the calling stations. No use betting the turn since flush and straight draws already have the odds to call.

This wasn't my first hand at the table. Maybe my 10th or 12th. I had a semi tight image, so I thought the result might be different. It was a partial steal/partial value raise.

milesdyson · #9 09-30-2005, 07:41 PM

1 J8s: fine
2 J8s: raise/fold preflop
3 K8s: must bet flop, no excuse
4 A6o: pretty awful. fold the flop, fold the turn. calling the flop is very bad.
5 QJo: it's fine, but i would probably just call the river.
6 J9o: check the turn, hope to get a free look at the river.
7 T8s: ??? standard unless you want to fold preflop
8 AKo: check fold the turn. please fold to bb's c/r. you're drawing dead.
9 86o: 2nd nuts bet raise bet raise standard
10 AKo: standard
11 T3s: i'd fold the turn
12 AA: ?
13 QJs: yup
14 QJo: mostly i fold preflop, and yeah i mostly value bet that river
15 A9s: my pfr cutoff there is ATs unless i feel frisky
16 TT: cap preflop is pointless and the flop call is thin but probably okay.

#10 09-30-2005, 07:45 PM

Ok.. lessee now.

I don't like the AK hand.. on turn you gotta fold when BB raises.. I mean what could he have that you can draw to and win? I'm not sure if I'd fold the flop already, but that may be too weak.

On the AA hand, slowplay on flop seems an option.. depending of course if any reads of the villain are available

The TT hand... I wouldn't cap TT. And I'd fold the flop for two bets there are 2 spades on board and you don't have any yourself.

In the whole I'd say I'd play those hands quite the same way.. some of the steals seemed brave, but I have yet played only a little of 6-max so can't really comment on that.
