After a long poker break, I'm back to playing some low stakes full ring.
I've put in a few solid sessions so far, and these two hands came up.
First hand:
(I butchered this one good)
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
9 players
Stack sizes:
UTG: $53.45
UTG+1: $51.35
MP1: $34.50
MP2: $16.50
MP3: $45.75
Hero: $52.10
Button: $48.75
SB: $71.05
BB: $15.55
Pre-flop: (9 players) Hero is CO with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif T/images/graemlins/club.gif
2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, Hero calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB checks.
I limped pre flop, simply because there where so many limpers, and I would hate to play an inflated pot even with position.
Flop: T/images/graemlins/heart.gif K/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($3, 6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP1 bets $2</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#cc0000">MP3 raises to $5</font>, Hero calls, 2 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.
So I hit middle set, someone bets and is called and then raised, I'm not sure I like my hand very much any more, but I call.
Turn: 4/images/graemlins/club.gif ($23, 4 players)
MP1 checks, <font color="#cc0000">MP2 is all-in $11</font>, MP3 folds, Hero calls, MP1 calls.
A blank falls, shorty pushes. And I go ?!!? I guess he has QJ and wants the FD out, but I call thinking that MP1 proberly folds. But he does not.
River: 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif ($56, 2 players + 1 all-in - Main pot: $56)
<font color="#cc0000">MP1 is all-in $18</font>
Another blank, and MP1 open pushes. I am sure one of them has QJ and my hand is nothing but a bluff catcher, so I fold.
How bad is this?
Second hand:
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.25/$0.50
7 players
Stack sizes:
UTG: $29
UTG+1: $77.60
MP1: $27.95
Hero: $60.75
Button: $48.35
SB: $61.10
BB: $17.20
Pre-flop: (7 players) Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif J/images/graemlins/heart.gif
UTG calls, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $2</font>, 3 folds, UTG calls.
Folded to me, and I make my standard raise.
Flop: 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif ($4.75, 2 players)
UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $3.5</font>, UTG calls.
I make a standard contiunation bet.
Turn: 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif ($11.75, 2 players)
UTG checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $5</font>, UTG calls.
Ugly card, and I dont like my hand so much anymore. I bet $5 simply because he usually raises if this helped his hand in any way, and if I bet $10 I more or less comitteted to call if he pushes.
River: J/images/graemlins/club.gif ($21.75, 2 players)
<font color="#cc0000">UTG is all-in $18.5</font>
He just called, and now he open pushes. I think that he might have flopped a set, he might have a hand like AJ, obviously he could have a str. But I figure I'm good here more than 33% so I call.
How bad did I butcher this one?
