Re: Turning Stone 5/10 No Max: Hooks
Luckychewy, I only played friday night (St. Patty's Day). It was my first trip to T-Stone and my first time playing live. I posted the hand just to find out if people call there if they believe they are against 2 pair. I also wanted to know if people bet more on the turn if they think they are against two pair so there is no question on the call or if they check call. I'm fairly new to poker and not a huge number cruncher. When I played the hand I thought it was a bad call if I had him on two pair. But when I thought about it later, I changed my mind and thought that it was an ok play to call there if I had him on two pair.
The reason I gave him a little credit for air is the fact that we were chatting it up a little bit and that he had folded to my bets in the last few hands we had played. His all in bet just really felt weak to me.
To be quite honest, I really wasn't playing all that well. I posted the hand because it was my first time playing live and I thought that I was in a fairly interesting hand.
okay player, your logic on the 22 seems very reasonable to me. I'm sure that he does limp 22 in retrospect, but for some reason I didn't think he would.
Also, I'm a sucker for big pots. I bet the turn with the intention of pushing the river if called so in my mind I was commited to this pot. I know this is probably not the best way to think but I'm just being honest.
Again, I think I misplayed the hand. I agree that I should have raised preflop. Any input on my flop play would also be appreciated.
Lucky, I did feel like I might have the best hand. It was weird. Logically I thought he must have two pair. But my instincts said call. I'm not a pro by any means, just a recreational player trying to improve.
