$11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

Because of advice here I cut back to two tables and I read analyze more instead. (I have played poker for 1,5 weeks now)Anyway, the title says it, I have trouble with what to do with nonraised pots I get to see as big blind.

Poker isn't for you...just trust me on this one, ok?

Would you care to elaborate on that one?

you...are...retarded.

Clear enough? Or do you want a heads up match? hahaha

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

tp ragk is a bad hand... a lot of times it's often better to not bet the flop, but even if you do, you don't want to be betting the turn in hand 2. Actually hand 1 you might be able to get away with a bet and fold to a raise... but honestly if you're unsure of yourself and what types of players your opponents are it's often best to just let these hands go...

It is nice that you laugh yourself so that people can understand that your replies are witty and clever.

Its good that you create dumb poker threads to show everyone how retarded YOU are.

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

I'd rather just check/fold top pair no kicker vs multiple opponents. Especially when top pair is ten or lower. And I think it's really lame that people don't have the balls to flame on their normal account. They have to create gimmick accounts just to be dicks.

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

You aren't losing much value if you just check fold these hands. If you play them on the flop, don't continue on the turn.

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

Yes, when two people with the word "suck" in their nicknames you know that you definately are doing something wrong... or right?

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

Thanks for the answer. I'll just let the loose players take most of these pots and then break them when I get a hand...

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

with 4 people in the hand you're rarely (far) ahead with top pair no kicker. especially in the second hand when your top pair is a 6, it's really not unlikely that people limp with pocket 7s to 10s. first hand you may be ahead, but i'd be done with (both) the hand after the flop bet is called.

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

Just my 2 cents.

Hand 1) The board is coordinated enough that donks at this level will call with too much for your bet to take it down I think. Maybe if I was acting second to last or better yet, last I may lay a pot sized bet to hopefully take it down as the last money I put in.

Hand 2) That puny lead bet by the chip leader could be many things. I just wouldn't bother tangling with her here especially since your reraise represents such a small percentage of her stack.

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

Yeah, what everyone else said. You should probably play these hands like you would with 2nd pair.

Betting out on the first flop is not a crime, but if you do, 140 is too much. Bet 1/2 pot, like 80.

Your raise on the 2nd hand is a bit big too. Raising there in an 11 probably isn't a good idea, but what the hell, maybe you were bored or something. Once you are called, betting the turn is not good. I'd just shut it down and hope for a 3.

The other thing about the 2nd hand is that your top pair is so low that you could easily be up against an overpair like 77 that limped preflop.

Re: $11 sng\'s post flop when in limp pot when I am BB
 

Early levels I hope that both my cards hit the flop else its Check/Fold or re-evaluate a checked flop.

If you lead the flop like in Hand 1 and get it HU then checking the turn is bad with a marginal Hand especially with the card that fell. Lead again and fold to a reraise.

Checking turn and then checking the river is for when you have a monster and want to induce a bluff.
