some .5/1 hands

Most of the villains are fairly solid tags, lots of 3beting/sqeezing/blind stealing going on.

#1 raise preflop, fine
#2 is pretty bad, just call preflop or fold
#3 is close fold unless you've seen him do it before light
#4 is fine

RasTa

Ahh questions on my levels.

Anyway

Hand one: is fine, no comments needed

Hand 2: I wouldn't play a 100bb pot with 88, your flipping at best. I don't see the point in the 3bet pre-flop?

Hand 3: Meh

Hand 4: I think I find a fold here, although it's marginal. Could be trying to steal it, after you checked behind on the turn which I don't understand why. Actually I call the river.

Hand 5: Bet every street.

Hand 6: Fine.

Not too much wrong with any of these hands, apart from the 88 which seems a bit wild to me.

Captain Tom

hand 1 is standard.

hand 2 seems ok to mix it up like this occasionally but i certainly wouldnt make a habit of it.also wouldnt do this without reasonably strong read.

hand 3 seems standard from what ive heard about how frequent 3/4-betting is on fll tilt recently.

hand 4 looks fine.id expect to be ahead enough of the time to make this a profitable play.

hand 5 i v/bet river.

hand 6 i expect to be behind here a decent % of the time but going broke for less then 100bb's with QQ isnt criminal.

Hand 1 - Fine
Hand 2 - Cant comment as this is read/flow dependent. Against an unknown it's very ugly
Hand 3 - Again cant really comment
Hand 4 - Played it well
Hand 5 - I'd bet the river for sure. I think checking 2 streets is fine there.
Hand 6 - Looks ok.

Ste05

1 - Fine
2 - Not sure I like the 3-Bet against the BB for half his stack, if it had of been the SB I'd prefer it, at best you're flipping, at worst you're a 4:1 underdog, probably just call or fold to the original re-raise. It would all depend on what was happening at the time.
3 - Without a read I just fold, but again it would depend on what has gone on recently.
4 - Seems fine as played post flop, but I just fold to the re-raise pre-flop some times. We're unlikely to get paid much on an A hi or J hi flop by a worse hand.
5 - I'd probably bet either the turn or River, but I don't think there's anything wrong with checking the whole way on a board like this, it's good for our image.
6 - Seems to have played itself, unlucky if you are beaten by AA or KK.

I checked the turn because I'm not getting value off a worse hand, I lose the min when I'm beat, and he might try and bluff the river.

bops

lol it's a funny old game!!

you either won all of them or lost all of them - both are v possible.

you played them all fine - this 3/4 betting lark is getting a bit popular.

i'm really thinking that you won them all and that $1k is in the bag!!



...your too young to remember kill 'em all ?????? god i love the old sh*t

Aye I got that whilst typing out my reply. Hence the advocate of the river call.

pok3rplaya

I get the feeling you're over-compensating for the preflop aggression increace in these games.

phantom_lord

There's been a fair bit of history in the button vs blinds battles, where I've defended, or they've defended against my steal or whatever. anyway, results.


Villain had...

1. 1010 :rolleyes:
2. QQ
3. 99 :rolleyes:
4. 88
5. 1010
6. AA

I run bad.


88 was a bit overly agressive, calling would have been better.
qq, hmm, he had stolen a good deal, and I had played back a bit, this was the first time he had 4bet it, came very close to folding pf/

RasTa

Still think you should bet flop and turn in hand 5.
What's your aggression factor?
