What would you do here? Would you re-raise? call? or go all-in?
dhgvsu12 raised 4 times pre-flop. I didn't got to see his cards so I suppose it would have been high cards or high pairs ...

What would you do here? check? raise? or all-in?
The problem with the all-in is the big stack ...


Thanks!

Hand 1 - this early I just flat call and play a flop.

Hand 2 - limping behind 3 limpers is OK, raising preflop would be bad here. Flop is an easy fold, $5.50 players LOVE to limp A-crap or KT meaning you might not have too many outs here.

Hand 3 - check and see a flop. Push flop if you hit better than one pair or a good draw like OESFD, pair plus flush draw, flush draw plus gutshot.

hand 1 call probably

hand 2 fold preflop
call flop just becuase ur getting ridiculous odds
ull most likely fold the turn

hand 3
i probably check and then prepare to fold the flop.

Hand#1: I would call and lead on any non A flop
Hand#2: Intersting position, you have to call 60 into a 420 pot, but the problem here is counting your outs. There is no doubt that you are behind, the question is by how much.
T is a definite out for you, probably splitting the pot. The remining 2 Qs are also possible outs unless you are facing a made set or a made str8. I dont think the K's are outs for you, since it is very possible you are facing better two pair or a made str8.
So you have 6 outs, 12% to hit on the turn, which is about the correct pot odds, and you have implied odds if you hit your str8.

I guess I am calling here since I am closing the action. The thing is that you have to assume that you are still behind if a K hits and play very carefully even if a Q hits.

Hand#3: Unless limper is very tight I guess see a flop here

Thanks for the comments guys!

Hand 1:
I shoved ... Actually, I thought he had something like AK/AQ/AJ or a high pair ... and I was hoping for high cards and a race ...
He showed KK and I lost.
Very bad play, especially early on the tourney ... No excuses. Just bad play!

Hand 2:
I folded, didn't want to risk in this tricky flop.

Hand 3:
I shoved and he called with A2 spades and neither of us paired the board and I lost. Again very bad play, mainly against the big stack ...
The interesting thing is that looking into PokerStove I saw that I was 42% to winning the hand ... that was not bad

Greetz!
