50NL - 3 folds

[swiggidy]

I dropped 4 buy-ins at 50NL. I felt like I was getting kicked in the nuts repeatedly. Flop monster, everyone folds. Flop 2nd nuts, loose to nuts. Maybe it's variance, I don't know, I don't think I've done anything that wrong. I'm going back to SnGs to clear the PokerStars bonus and take a break from ring.

Anyway, here are two folds that maybe I lost value on? They seemed pretty standard to me.

Hand 1: No reads at the time. He couldn't have had any on me either.

All of these hands you played solid aggressive but folded because your running bad.

Hand 1 looks easy fold the way you played it. Bet about 6/7 on turn as a feeler.

Hand 2 could give a reason for folding. Is this guy new, sometimes these guys like to come to the table firing at scare cards when you've showed weakness, they've got aq with a diamond and push you out.



Hand 3 easy fold the way you played it.

Try to raise a bit more preflop especially on hand 2/3.


What do you want me to say I see nothing drastically wrong with any of these hands.
Your definately playing these hands more tight then aggressive not saying its a bad thing becauase of you running bad.


I do like how the topic says 2 folds, when its actually 3. Definately will get more responses this way. Great advertising.

What do you want me to say

"Goodbye".

I think the opposite is true. If I was running better I would have folded the turn in Hand 3. If I was getting lots of opportunities for $$ I would have felt good about laying these down and finding a better spot.

[LeFou]

I agree that villain will show AQ or similar enough times to make a call profitable there.

1 & 3 are tough folds but probably right. The way fnord's been talking recently, though, I'd like to hear his thoughts on those.

[cardsman1992]

I go broke in hand two with 10 outs to the nuts. I push. What's the saying? If you didn't lose the most with a flopped set you played it wrong?

Hand one and three look okay to me postflop.

Preflop you gotta pop it more though. $1.5 on hand one is WEAK in the face of limpers. Make it $3 or $3.5. Hand three goes to $3.5 or $4 PF for me. I have been opening for $2.50 at these same tables and still get action.

Yeah, in hand three the check call is the worst move in that situation.

I make them too and flat call min raises on flop. Pr0bably the biggest leak.

Hand 1 is bad. PF raise is too weak. Keep your standard opener at $2, and add bb for every limper, so make this $3-3.5 to go.

River bet is weak. He knows you fear the A on the turn IMO.

Hand 2 he senses weakness on the turn. Do you really think he bets that large with a made flush? I think he has Ad here with a draw to the flush 90% of the time.

Hand 3 looks good

[swiggidy]

I have no idea what happened pre-flop in hand one. My standard opening is $2, after that many limpers I would probably go to $3 if not more depending on the table. The hand would play way different post flop.

[zook]

Raise more pre-flop in 1 & 3.

1. Lead turn, fold to raise. Checking the turn is begging him to push you off your hand.

2. I'm probably going broke here. I might check/push the turn and give him a tough decision if he doesn't have the nut flush.

3. I think I lead the turn for $13, fold to a push. Tough call though.

Don't play while you're posting on FTR

[Turska]

Hand 1: Preflop is asking trouble with KK.
Hand2: I could push this with 10 outs. Board is
really scary though both fl and str8 draws. I think fold
is not so bad either its a coin flip at best. Tough decision.
Hand3. Easy fold.
