Re: entire sit&go review.HELP! (long)
Too long Jay, give us the short version, no bad beats, wich site we're talking about(looks like stars) and tell us how much (the buy-in).
Then perhaps... but the answer is most certainly the 78% rule. Take care, William |

On hand 2 with all those draws out there on the flop why did you underbet the pot? And why didnt you bet the turn?

Re: entire sit&go review.HELP! (long)
there arent many *bad* beats. atleast not in my estimation. the reason i posted EVERY hand is because im afraid maybe im weak tight, maybe im jsut the worst poker player on the planet.
pokerstars 10$ single table. ive officially deemed them impossible to keep my own sanity. no matter how hard i try i cannot beat this game. and i dont mean i cant consistently beat it. i mean i cant win a 3 hands. this isnt over a 1 game sample. its over a 60 game sample. which is still reasonably small. but over 60 games you think id atleast stumble into 1st place once. |

Re: entire sit&go review.HELP! (long)
i bet weak on the flop hoping he'd move in on me.
on the turn there was a reasonable chance he already made the straight. this is why im posting, am i growing too weak/tight? or is it that i just plain suck. |

1) I don't see anything unusual here.
2) 100 pre-flop is too little. try 180. 500 or more on the flop. 3) no comments, you just didn't get any cards run once into a big pair. [censored] happens, nothing unusual. Don't despair. W. |

Fear sets, overpairs, better kicker and that kind. Straights, flushes... you shouldn't worry about them, Assume nobody has them. And yes, it seems you need to be more agressive with your good hands. William PS. jay, I have edited the post and deleted the part about the bet on the flop as I misunderstood your statement. I thought you were commenting the pre-flop action. Sorry about that. |

Re: entire sit&go review.HELP! (long)
I don't like the bet weak to get him to move in on you. Its early, the stacks are deep and if he has a draw you just priced him in.
On stars I would say that more than 75% of my bets are pot sized bets. Unless there is a reason not to bet the pot got ahead and do it. On the turn I would make another bet and if you get raised I think you have to think about folding. But you can't be worried that people have made a straight just because one is out there. How many hands can he have to call a raise with preflop that have a 10 in them? TT and AT are the only 2 that seem reasonable. If you are behind there I think its to QJ more times than not. On that flop there are a lot hands that are drawing very live against AA, winning the pot on the flop is not a bad thing. |

Re: entire sit&go review.HELP! (long)
in a 10$ game, when he already had 20 committed he's likely to call with T8,T9,TT,JT,QT,KT,AT. maybe even T7 if its suited. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
i think williams right, come harder preflop. i just wanted to suck one in for the flop. i dont know why i played it so passively, probably that tilt say i raise to 100 preflop with AKs and 2 people call. i hit my money card. A or K high flop. the pot is 300. 1 calls. how do you bet the turn, assuming its not a scare card. the pot would now be 900. thanks. |

When the pot is 900, you are satisfied with it. Now is the time make a substantial bet (probably all-in). if he wants to chase, he must pay the price. If he has you already beaten, bad luck. If he folds, the pot is big enough. William |
