    Default Tough hands

    Here are three hands that I thought I played fine by getting my in while ahead, results just weren't good. Anyone see anything wrong here? All these players were loose. I was on some great tables tonight (after the huge disconnect that knocked 90% people off Party Poker). These are full ring at 25NL, I just trimmed it down since it's multiple hands.

  2. #2
    Hands 1 and 2 I think you played fine, you got all your money in on the flop where you are almost certainly ahead.

    Hand 3 i definatly raise that flop, There are a lot of draws out there and two players left to act, ~$10 should get them out but keep KQ / KJ interested. (probably would'nt have helped here tho)

    Hand 3. nice. I still might bet that flop just a little, make it look like a weak bluff but give good odds to chase their draws (They don't know their drawing dead ). This way you get more value even if they don't hit and if they do...
