    Default Analysis of my tilt session

    Ok, I was looking over the more costly hands of the session I dropped a big chunk of my $$$ in during my tilt last week. I'd appreciate some added insight into the plays. I've put commented my thoughts as well, but would like to hear what others have to say:

    Was I too aggressive? I figured I was beat when he reraised/pushed on the turn, but figured my odds for a 3, 5, or 8 justified calling, given how much was in the pot at that point.

    Hand #4372785-19483 at Crystal (No Limit Hold'em)
    JGB146: 5d 5c

    Pre-flop:
    JGB146 calls. Caprilee calls. Dowsy88 folds.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    And here, not aggressive enough, given the draw - correct? Obviously given the lack of aggression I showed on the turn, I should have bet/folded the river.

    ----------------------------------------------------------------

    I'm thinking I should have bet out on the flop here, and just folded to aggression. Possibly even raised preflop, given that it was folded to me. How would you have played it?

    Caprilee posts the big blind of $.50.

    Hand #4372785-19485 Summary:
    $.75 is raked from a pot of $15.
    Caprilee wins $14.25 with three fives.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Too small a bet on the turn here, or should I have just check/folded (or bet smaller) on the river?

    JGB146 posts the big blind of $.50.

    Stop playing Axo when you are not the BB or you will run into trouble. The other times, proceed very cautiously since your starting hands are iffy. These are tough hands though. Sometimes they just go that way. Just remember that at least one other person limping in probably has Ax too.

    I'm assuming that AJo isn't grouped into Axo for you. The other times an Axo were listed above was A5o when I was big blind and A9o. I don't think A9o is that iffy a hand, if you're willing to let it go. As 'rilla has previously said, any Ax hand can be a monster if you can limp make 2 pair. Since no one did anything that hand, I was pretty confident at that point that I had the best hand. And notice that I didn't lose to a higher kicker, I lost to someone who caught his flush...my question about my play there wasn't related to starting hand choice, but to if I should have raised more.

    Thanks for the comments. I'm really looking more for advice on post flop play, I think.

    Yes, AJo is good. A9o is marginal. Sorry. I just noticed that that as a common starting hand theme. But still in each hand, you only had one pair which doesn't hold up well in most cases - except with the AJ hand - which no matter what he's not folding unless you bet 2/3 pot or more on the flop.

    Default ...

    heya,

    I woulda folded the all but the last hands when u meet action.

    the last one I would have played excatly like u did, just bad luck there I think.

    Hand 1:

    I agree with limping in and betting the OESD. I think if you are going to bet that much on the turn, however, you might as well go all in there. Your're pretty much pot committed. Calling the re-raise was to be expected.

    Hand 2:

    I'd probably bet pot sized or at least 2/3 pot sized bets on the flop and the turn to chase away flush draws. I'd have folded the re-raise on the river.

    Hand 3:

    Bet either pre flop or post flop. I don't like going into the turn blind.

    Hand 4:

    Got nothing.

    Just my $0.02
    <Buaidh no Bas>
    Victory or Death
