couple hands 50NL

Results 1 to 11 of 11

    Default couple hands 50NL

    This guy was running 57/24/3 over 90 odd hands.
    He made a nice river call with 4th pair in RR pot (flop and turn went check-check)
    I won a small pot off him when I raised his river bet with air (RR pot, flop and turn went check check)

    I did not remember the previous river bets when I decided to block river... sloppy but this was the only big pot we played.

    yes I can count to 2. Here is the 2nd hand

    This guy is a 30/0/1 Fish over 120 hands. He had position on me which was quite irritating, but not irratating enough to changes seats.

    His only pot this size he rivered a flush vs straight with OESD, did not raise river.

    Not sure why I c/c turn since I am so far ahead of his range, but I guess I was surprised that he called flop.

    BB ($9.50)
    UTG ($22.95)
    Hero ($202.85)
    Button ($66.55)
    SB ($15.45)

    Preflop: Hero is MP with K, K.
    UTG calls $0.50, Hero raises to $2, Button calls $2, 2 folds, UTG folds.

    Flop: ($5.25) 4, 8, 9 (2 players)
    Hero bets $5.25, Button calls $5.25.

    Turn: ($15.75) 4 (2 players)
    Hero checks, Button bets $10, Hero calls $10.

    River: ($35.75) 2 (2 players)

    Hero checks (?! as they say in chess).

    #1 any reads, what a pre minraise means here? i´d fold , he seems serious and im sure we´re beat here often enough to lay this down. only hands we beat like KJ or AT/A9cc wont raise the river.

    #2 hmm. dont know, boat or overpair. since lp´s tend to overplay overpairs and i see them rarely play the nuts this hard i´d like to show down. block for 20?

    Hand 1:
    Preflop: autofold
    turn: easy fold
    river: open fold

    Hand 2
    Shove the turn. As played, I call. Too often I've seen this done with A9 or some such.

    OOP isn't optimal in hand 1, but how are you going to autofold preflop when villain is 24% PFR. What would you mix it up with here?
    Zen, I think I call this. I don't see how the villain got here with a 7 after his PF minraise. 3:1 on the river, and he looks capable of doing this with air to an obvious blocking bet yes? He isn't value raising or I think it would be more here. Most of all your line looks weaker than TP if he is capable of paying attention. I also expect to lose this pot as much as I win.
    Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

    wow, I didn't even notice the PF min/raise when I posted it (hand 1) He could have QJ or a set here (or even 2 pair). I thought I was ahead on the turn, and I don't think the 6 helped him - but the value sized raise of the blocking bet to me is usually > TPGK. Depends on how much credit you give a 50/20 at 50NL! (he was up huge over this sample)... I don't give anyone credit for a bluff raise on the river.

    Preflop was mostly mixup squeeze.

    Pathetic bump:

    Hand 1, I fold obv. Raise was just too small for a bluff.

    Hand 2, I folded... looseish-passive villian shows down busted draw! 67, maybe hearts as well. I did not think player was capable of a move like this! But maybe that's what you get for underrepping your hand.

    the guy is a loose passive, and you check the KK turn ??? why???? bet pot and push any river. you MUST get value out of these guys

    Yeah I think I call in hand two the way it was played. Hand 1 is a little more tricky and probably the right laydown. FWIW, I dont think theres anything wrong with reraising pre here against this opponent. If you bet the turn it makes it easier to play i think.

    BTW, you mind sharing your Full Tilt screenname?

    For some insane reason, I thought he had a set, or a 4 or something. As near as I can tell - I was reverse tilting. I was on a major heater - these two hands were the only 2 I lost any significant money on the entire session.

    Why are we planning to check-fold TPGK after our c-bet was called on a wet board? Having said that, his PF minraise does seem pretty scary..
