Too aggressive with steal?

ZManODS · #1 10-04-2004, 09:21 AM

This was a decent flop for my hand but how far should i go with it?
Should i give up after the flop or continue betting?
Was this just a dumb move in the first place?

Please comment on my play.

I think you played fine. You definitely cannot fold the turn. I would have check-called the river - but turns out your play worked!

Yea i was thinking about check calling the river but by his weak turn bet i figured he didnt have much so my 9 was probably good.

I figured if i checked and i was beat he would go all whereas if he is unsure about his hand he would check. Putting him all in makes me win when im ahead and do the same when im behind.

i like every street except pre-flop. if your hand were a little stronger or you were in the cutoff or button, it's a raise, but i would just limp in here.

It worked out fine, but I would be very cautious with K9, suited or not. There is a reason it is called the "sawmill." It is one of those hands that, if it gets any action, is very likely to be second best.

Well it was one of those moves that i would rarely make to vary up my play. I wasnt playing many hands, just when i did play a hand it was usually aggressive. It was supposed to win the blinds preflop but then a decent flop came so i had to continue firing.
