A group of 5/10 hands + Intro to forum

bigballz · #1 06-13-2006, 04:14 AM

I'm a pretty successful turney player (mtt & sng) but I'm getting annoyed with sng's and want something to go along with mtts. I played a bunch of low limit NL when I first started off and have played 2/4 and 3/6 when I don't feel like playing sngs. I'm ready to master this stuff, so here are some hands I think I misplayed or arn't sure on during my first real 5/10 session tonight.
I'll add my thought process for a certain hadn if you would like

Now that I think about it he did a good job getting a cheap river with his hand. I called flop with the intention of c/r all in on turn, but I doubt that's the best play here. On to the river, does my bet scream "plz jsut call I have an overpair" ? Fold to his pretty quick push? The only real read I had was taht he was multitabling.

villian was iconoclastic. I think he's a regular and I can't see how that river shove is not for value. I don't fold sets ever on boards like this in turnies, can you fold sets in NL? Is he shoving enough 2 pairs to call this?

eek, butchered this terribly. I know the turn bet looks real donkey but I figured he would tell me there if he had the Q and I was trying to get as cheap a river as possible.

Villian was ansky. I don't think he knows who I was but probobly thought I was just a random donk after this hand. My turney insticts say flop is a push/fold (my bet is the same thing as a push), calling seems gross. I'm pretty sure I can push him off pairs under JJ and probobly QQ too. Still, this line seems like spewing.
