first post (steaming)

[martinimagic]

I am super steaming.. table is full of fish. I usually let things roll off.. but today I am so furstrated. Knew I was cooked at the flop. Lost all my gains for the week in just a few hands.

Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB calls, BB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 3-bets</font>, MP2 folds, Hero calls, Button calls, SB calls, BB folds.

Trying to get more aggressive for once.

Flop: (15 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls, Button calls.

I figure SB has got two pair.

Turn: (13.50 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
SB checks, UTG+1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls, SB calls, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls, Button calls, SB calls.

At this point I figure UTG+1 has same straight as me.

River: (21.50 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, Hero calls, Button folds, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 caps</font>, Hero calls, SB calls.

Now I think I am in trouble, but I call because UTG+1 wasn't all that aggressive.

Final Pot: 33.50 BB

Cap the flop, get in as many bets as possible on the turn, river is fine, if you think you're beat. Otherwise, I 3-bet.

You have the nut straight, dude.

[Shillx]

So you didn't 3-bet the turn because you knew that you were going to lose and you might as well save a few bets? Then, you proceed to put 4-bets in on the river without the nuts...come on meow.

It's quite easy when you play this badly. Cap the flop. Cap the turn. If you capped the flop and the turn and all of a sudden it's 2 bets to you on the river when the board pairs, well then, you've got to play poker, but I doubt that's happening with a hand you beat. I'm pretty sure at thtat point you've got SB tied, but UTG+1 is something to worry about. If he's a nutball you can hope for JTs or something, because the pot will be huge enough at that point that you're probably getting commensurate odds to call.

ps. who thinks i will make carpal/tunnel on this post alone?

[martinimagic]

I was lost. I know it was weak, but this is why I am reading all these posts.

UTG+1 had AA for the boat.
SB had same straight.

OMG, you butchered this. Cap the god damn flop.

Cap the turn, too, even if you think you're chopping.
