zaxx19 says "Get out of the Kiddie Pool and make some moves", so I do - Page 4

KC50 · #31 03-30-2005, 08:31 PM

texture/reads have to be all correct in order to attempt many "moves" besides "raise with trash, bet the flop".

This is exactly what I mean when I told you "situational" play.

Am I out of the kiddie pool yet?

Maybe but keep playing like you're not.

Good reads and play (except I feel raising the turn would've been possibly a bit safer).

I would say you were out of the kiddie pool, but you blatantly lied in your thread title since this hand happened before zaxx's post

Ok Ok, so you caught me... this hand did happen before his post. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Yeah I definitely fall under this category as well. It's always easier to criticize other's play after minutes of dissection and thought than it is to play your own cards in the 15 seconds at the table. With that said, I'd be an even WORSE player at the table without critiquing posts!

Yes, I play ten orders of magnitude better than I did before I started posting here.

Working on it...

According to Jason at least, 2/5 *is* the kiddie pool. BTW... he was in for $260 tonight and racked up $2200 when our table broke. He sure knows something about beating this game that I don't.

Soah,

You are definitely a quality player. However with all do respect, you are correct.

I think a better line for this hand would be to raise the flop (pot-sized-ish), check behind on the turn, then bet the river. The raise flop/check turn screams draw but, since they don't know you're really drawing at the straight and not the hearts, there are a ton of river cards that win you the pot (and your flop raise might win it right there). If you make your straight on the river with a non-heart, there's a good chance you can win a very large pot as your big bet there will look like a busted heart draw. When the heart hits, it looks like you're value betting your flush and you can pick it up with a smallish bluff.
