johnnyBuz: nice catch

[vqc]

ill give u an overall guide

stop raising when u have 10xBB or less, u should be pushing or folding.

[mcatdog]

In the future if you're posting hand histories, you should go through and number the hands, it makes it easier for people to give you feedback. I'll just quote the hands I'm commenting on I guess.

Just fold to the original raise. AJ is not a hand you want to be calling raises with because a lot of times people are raising with JJ,QQ,KK,AA,AK,AQ which leaves you in bad shape.

If you're going to play this hand, you should just go all-in. Putting half your chips into the middle and then folding is terrible. I would lean toward folding preflop but it's close. If the blinds are 150/300 instead all-in is clear.

Just go all-in. What would you have done if he'd just called you and the flop had been something like KQQ, I do hope you wouldn't have folded your last 475 chips.

I would not bet this flop, people often call raises with aces so you should be worried that he has one. Just check behind and take the free card for a straight. Making a bet on the flop, that is smaller than your raise preflop, looks extremely weak and a good player will reraise you whether he has anything or not. But a decent-sized bet of 800 on the flop, consumes too much of your stack, so you should just check behind. On the river you have to call.

The rest of the hands looked fine to me, but you need to fix some problems with your game when the blinds are big. You will probably lose money at this game if you frequently raise half your stack before the flop and then fold on the flop.

[johnnyBuz]

Thanks for the indepth.

VGC, my reasoning behind raising and saving another 300-400 is in case you are called and lose the hand, you have another 300-400 to still use for the tourney.

It seems to me there is a point that people won't call beyond the BB, whether it is 4x, 5x, 6x, etc. Isn't it better to bet that amount then to go all-in?

that doesnt make any sense.
if u raise to 3xBB and lose the hand u still have 400 chips left. That just means u had the person covered in the first place. Which means that going all in would have resulted in the same thing.

There are very few hands that would merit raising half ur stack and then folding preflop. Actually I can think of NO hands that would merit raising half ur stack and then folding preflop.
