Overall I really only think I played hand 7 bad. Tilting a little. It got pretty frustrating get called with some of this crap(2,4). The 3 hands I put my stack at risk(3,6,8) I had the best hand. I couldn't fold Hand 8 for some reason **tilting**, but in the end it worked out according the the Theory of Poker.

The tables finally loosened up this weekend and this is my result.

Ya I think I would bet the turn and fold to a raise. Hand 4 is sick.

Well, you got quite some positive variance coming your way now

Regardless of the results, I dont like your line in almost all of these hands, why are you playing for stacks with TPTK and weak overpairs?

Well the TT and the AQ hand I was against semi shorties. Either I am way ahead or way behind. The AQ hand I just value bet him AI by the river, when he happened to hit his 3 outer...The TT hand I had one chance to push him off so I took it. The only time I played for MY stack I was way ahead. Hands 3, 6, and 8.

And of course hand 7 was crap.

You were ahead in Hand #8, but does no one here want to get out with that much action and only an overpair? Usually it means you're behind I've found.

Hand #7 was really easy to get away from but you were tilting obviously.

And rest are the poker gods smiting you I guess. You suck out on a one outer recently or something?

After I called in Hand 8 I thought I tilted, but as it turned out I was ahead.

How would you play these hands?

I think you're giving up way too much. Top pair should be felting raised pots 50bb deep.

*bump*

the only hand that i really don't like your play in is hand 7, i fold the turn.

The other questionable ones are against shorties so you can't really do shit about it.

I think jackvance said it best, you have some positive varience coming your way.

seriously?

Fold the last hand after that much action. You're behind more often than not. Oh and hello everyone, I'm back (sort of).

felting?

bets with the intention of feeling where you're at?

Felting - Willing to "take your hand to the felt". Planning to go all-in at some point in the hand barring any unusual developments.

Definetely fold hand 8 after the UTG calls BB raise.

I expected AA in hand 8.

I stack off with TPTK against 50BB stacks alot of the time unless I have a tight read.

Hand 2 I think I take a free turn and try and hit TPTK. Its tough because you have to decide if A high is ahead. With his stats hes calling with any pair and any draw. Im undecided as to whether or not to cbet without connecting. If with any 2 on the flop then obviously cbet for value. If hes a bit more selective then its probably best to take the free card.
