Whoa. That's a lot of hands. In general, you'll get much better results by posting just one hand than by posting 12(?). Also, if you're serious about getting better, I encourage you to respond to posts rather than posting your own, ala this challenge. Continuously testing your understanding of the fundamentals (and learning from your mistakes if you post a wrong answer) is much, much more useful than getting spoonfed plays or pats on the back when you post a bunch of standard hands.

2. Don't open in EP with small off-suit aces
5. I limp here. You're not in a position to isolate, and you have Q-high.
8. Bad raise, bad followup.
10. I peel the flop.
11. What? But I raise PF w/A9s on the button with one limper.

You should check up on your preflop hand selection relative to your post-flop skills. I think you might be putting yourself in marginal situations where you end up spewing chips, or conversely not continuing enough when you don't hit. Additionally, you may be playing hands that are generally unprofitable overall in bad position.

#4 12-12-2005, 02:24 PM

1. I fold.
2. I fold.
3. Well played.
4. I call. I check the flop.
5. I fold. Rest is okay, donk river call a raise.
6. Sometimes fold, but playable from the button. Well played.
7. Looks good.
8. UTG played this like a donk, but preflop you were just as bad.
9. Good laydown.
10. Looks good.
11. Did you fold preflop? I call.

I think you're too LAGgy preflop.

Salva135 · #5 12-12-2005, 02:27 PM

Played bad. I would say that of the 12 hands you posted, at least 8-9 of them should have been pre-flop folds, and the ones that are playable are too weak to be open-raising from MP.

Fantam · #6 12-12-2005, 02:32 PM

As suggested by Mr. Wookie, you will benefit by responding to other players hand posts. Also you will get more responses to your own hand posts, by posting one hand at a time.

Overall you seem to be playing too many weak or marginal hands from poor positions preflop. For example, A8o is a fold preflop under most circumstances.

Also you need to connect reasonably well with the flop to continue, when you have a lot of other players in the hand.

Welcome to the forums. Your play will improve by continuing to read and post here. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I posted that much hands, because it is my complete session where I lost 20BB in that 12 hands.Now I know where I am. :-(

Thank you for comments to all.

I apologize for my english.

Guthrie · #9 12-12-2005, 03:41 PM

Grunch.

Hand 1. Raise preflop.

Hand 2. Fold preflop.

Hand 3. Fine.

Hand 4. Check the flop.

Hand 5. Fold to the turn raise.

Hand 6. Fold preflop.

Hand 7. Meh.

Hand 8. Fold preflop.

Hand 9. Cap preflop.

Hand 10. Raise the flop.

Hand 11. Raise preflop. Are you even in this hand?

kiemo · #10 12-12-2005, 03:49 PM

You must have some kind of reads to make the plays you did

1. Why are you cold calling this? If you think MP3 is capable of raising crap then 3 bet, but this is a fold the majority of the time

2. I have to think you are trying to steal here and you had some kind of read that the table was tight enough to do it, being Party Poker though I dont see how this is possible. Standard play here is too fold

3. Standard play.

4. A little early for a isolation raise, again table dependent. Usually a call from this position is warrented. If you are going to bluff the flop, then go ahead and bluff the turn and hope for a free showdown. If he raises at any point you can bail

5. Again a raise from mid position with a pretty weak hand. Rest of hand is pretty standard. I like to just bet out this river, becuase I dont want the button checking it through becuase of the scare flush card.

6. Fold preflop.

7. Fine. Been nicer if button and SB came along though

8. See hand 2 for preflop. Bet the flop, if he calls, check/fold the rest of the way UI.

9. This is probably the hardest hand you posted. Standard is cap preflop and lead out the flop. However reads are very important here.

10. I give you about a 5 outer and getting 6-1 (maybe 7-1) I donk off a small bet. Fold the turn UI then.

11. Given the hand makes no sense. Here is good spot to isolate raise a middle position caller. Failing that, limp and fold the flop.
