AQo CO
 

OK, to brake the ice, here is my first hand post. i would like to know what do you think of my reasoning (any mistakes, discutabe points, ect)

I read quite a few books, but have trouble applying concepts on actual situations.


BB is 16/3/4 (32hands), UTG is 75/6/0.5 (32 hands), MP2 is 83/3/0.6 (but FAF 1.2) (65 hands)

Table $0.50/$1 - Limit Hold'em (9 handed)
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Hero[http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/ac.gif http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/qd.gif]

<font color="green">UTG calls $0.50</font>, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="green">MP2 calls $0.50</font>, MP3 folds, <font color="red">Hero CO raises to $1.00</font>, BTN folds, SB folds, <font color="green">BB calls $0.50</font>, <font color="green">UTG calls $0.50</font>, <font color="green">MP2 calls $0.50 </font>

*** FLOP *** 4 handed, 9SB [http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/2h.gif http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/qh.gif http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/kh.gif]

*i have somewhat good hand, but vulnerable, so:
if BB bets, I call (i can't protect and can't fold);
if MP2 bets, I raise (i can protect);
if UTG bets, I call if MP2 calls (can't protect) and raise if MP2 folds (can protect)

any raise makes me consider folding


BB checks, UTG checks, <font color="red">MP2 bets $0.50</font>, <font color="red">Hero CO raises to $1.00</font>, BB folds, UTG folds, <font color="green">MP2 calls $0.50</font>

*** TURN *** HU, 6BB [http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/5c.gif]


MP2 checks,

*he probably doesn't have a flush yet and for a king this is also somewhat passive (plus he is just too loose), so i bet, i can't give a single heart a free card (plus it's for value against such a LP)

<font color="red">Hero CO bets $1.00</font>, <font color="green">MP2 calls $1.00</font>


*** RIVER *** [http://www.stevedawson.com/pokercards/3s.gif]

MP2 checks
Hero checks

*OK, now i think i should bet again here (for value); there were no surprises so far, river completes a very unlikely draw (plus i shouldn't be too afraid of a king since the villain is so L&amp;P

thanks for comments,

Re: AQo CO
 

I like everything except not betting the river. But I suck at this game so lol.

Re: AQo CO
 

well played, i'd play the same, expect to i'd see K sometimes but more often not [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

EDIT: sry didn't see you haven't bet the river...

you really have to bet it, because like i mentioned above you're more often ahead than not and worse hands will call you, you can fold to a raise pretty safe in this situation...

Re: AQo CO
 

I play it the same but I raise the river for value.
Stats of MP2 don't look as if he is able to check/raise.

Re: AQo CO
 

Nice hand, sir.

And your thinking is right on the river -- given villain's looseness, you could consider betting the river.

Re: AQo CO
 

I bet the river against someone with station-like stats. Everything else sounds perfect.
