    Ive been playing fairly solid, Havent got out of line or bluffed or been overly aggro. Villain calls everything pre-flop, no matter what the raise and will play from the flop onwards.

    Stacks: Hero 395
    Villain 250~

    I'm on the button. I havent been button raising with crap, in fact I havent been raising at all with crap ( not that this villain would notice)
    PRE FLOP
    I have 99 suits unimportant.

    After usual Flurry of limpers I make it 12 to go.
    4 Callers,

    Pot €50

    FLOP:
    KQ9r

    Checked into me, I bet 35(sizing?)
    Villain Dwells, looks confused and calls.
    2 folds.

    Pot €120
    Turn 5

    Villain Checks
    I bet 95( sizing?)
    Villain takes a while, thinks a bit, counts his chips and calls.

    Pot 300
    RIVER: 3

    Villain bets out all in 100

    I????
    4-1, insta call??? But my questions really regard the action and bet sizing?

    Hand 2:
    Same Villain, 1 hour later.

    Stacks
    Mise:150
    Villain: 130odd

    Mise in CO, look down at KK

    Limped around (3 People)
    I make it 12 to go

    Villain Calls
    Spew monkey who talks a good game calls.

    Pot:36
    Flop 7Q7 two hearts.

    Checked into me.
    I bet pot

    Villain Calls. 1 Fold

    Pot:108
    Turn 9

    1: instacall
    2: checking and shoving river is good here

    your bet sizing seems fine generally, i would shove 2 now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,191 ✭✭✭Dr_Colossus


    bet sizes on hand 1 look good, you don't want to frighten him away.
    I'd be inclined to bet 65 or so on the turn in hand 2, it's effectively the same as pushing but villain might be more inclined to call.
    By the way what is the cash game action like in the Jackpot, what time do the games generally get started and is there much action? Is it always pot limit or do they run nl also?
    Thanks

    Action? Saturday is fairly gambly as is friday, monday..... if you stuck a lump of coal in the average players arse you'd be a very rich man. Or accused of being a freak sadist who likes to stick coal in peoples bums.

    Games generally start at 11 or so.

    NOW back on topic,

    I think you have to snapcall in hand 1 and i doubt you are behind because if he had the straight made he would ship it on the turn knowing you probably have to call as its only another 100,


    may i say that is some quality binning of chips from both of you as its impressive how small you're stacks have gotten in an hour.


    just ship it in hand 2 and hope he has a dodgy queen and not a seven

    Binning=Spewing then yes..... but binning= taking money off table then NO, unless its for the wheel.

    I figured that but i was trying to be nice about the decrease but believe me i have done a lot more a lot quicker

    I like betting 2, good chance he has hearts. Think you played 1 fine.

    Whoops didn't see the flush draw in hand 2. Shoving turn sounds good now


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,254 ✭✭✭fuzzbox


    1. instcall - tough for you if he tables JT
    2. shove


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,039 ✭✭✭Theresalwaysone


    Results?

    HAND 1:
    Well I snap called in hand1, he had j10,

    pwned

    I don't think Im ever gettin away from it, MAYBE if he raises the turn I would think twice but I doubt Im folding and if I am Im sure its -EV.

    He slow rolls me.

    Incidentally, If I bet river in hand 1 and he comes over the top, am I still snap calling? I realise stack sizes are of vital importance here and I really cant fold for the amount in the pot but if we were deeper? I know in tis particular hand with these stacks Im getting much better odds to call but is his hand not entirely pinned down as j10 or does he do this with KQ? 33? 55? Any King with a missed gutshot?

    HAND2:
    I do shove the turn. I wasnt entirely sure why I shoved the turn hence why I posted the hand. I didnt shove because I think he would call with hearts.

    Anyway he has 67, and slowrolls me again. Prick

    Unlucky you played both hands well

    Hand 1: The bet on the flop looks good to me. If a villian check calls me on the flop, i am betting the full pot on the turn most times. This is a call on the river. Check call, check call, bet..wtf is this except the nuts. I think you played it well, checking the turn would have been to weak and you have no option but to call the river.

    Hand 2: The good thing about villians like this is they will call with a Q more often than not. The bad thing about villians like this is they dont raise and will only call with a seven. You have to assume you are ahead, push


    Edit: Just saw results
