sometimes I just call the flop, and raise the turn.

readless, i guess i call down.

i hate this spot

I think you played the hand fine even though its likely that the bb has you beat. At the very least if you lose the pot you gain some information about your opponent.

Thats because hands without reads are the toughest to play.

ldo, seriously.

gvasa you already made your own thread about reads-based hands. here's one for you from the "well played hands" thread the other day. vvv boring

reads based hand:

<u>notes on player</u>
1. does not raise 55/66/99/QQ/KK preflop.
2. does not raise K5/K6/K9/KQ preflop.
3. does not raise 65 preflop.
4. does not raise Q5/Q6/Q9 preflop.
5. does not raise 95/96 preflop.
6. does not raise JT preflop.
7. will cap flop and turn w/ oesfd.
8. will cap every street with TP with suited hole cards.

so my thoughts are as follows -

1. i am only beaten by 55/66/99/QQ/KK, K5/K6/K9/KQ, 65, Q5/Q6/Q9, 95/96, JT, and 87. however, he will not raise preflop with 55/66/99/QQ/KK, K5/K6/K9/KQ, 65, Q5/Q6/Q9, 95/96, or JT.

2. thus, i only have to worry about 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], whereas I beat all suited kings (except for chopping with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] or K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]).

3. doing combo analysis, this makes every street very easy. there is only one combo of 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], but there are so many suited kings I beat. see the results for proof - he has K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

4. this is an example of a reads-based play (i know all the standard lines fwiw).
