Ooops. But I'm not ashamed -- I stand by all of my errors with great pride of workmanship.

I misread it when I posted and thought the board had two 6s instead of a 6 and a 7. Either way, I took the pot, and that means I must have played the hand perfectly, right? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

HEY!!! I thought you said you were never supposed to admit to making a mistake! Shouldn't you say that you made the boat comment to see if the newer posters would catch that and it was really just a simple exercise in hand reading skills? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

[epdaws]

THIS is why you re-raise with SCs sometimes.

PP NL 100, 6-max

Hand 1: Hero is dealt 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the Button. Villain who is 41/12 raises to $3, Hero raises to $11, Villain folds.

Hand 2: ONE ORBIT LATER, Hero is BB with $118; Villain covers. Folds to Villain, Villain raises to $3, Hero has A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Hero raises to $11. Villain calls this time.

Flop: ($22) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Hero leads for $13, Villain raises to $26, Hero shoves, Villain calls.

Turn and River are bricks.

Villain shows Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], a pair of tens.

Hero wins $233.

AJ, THIIIIIIISSS IS HOW TO RUN GOOT AT $200NL.....CHECK OUT THE SEXY RIVER PUSH


[/ QUOTE ]

Oh man, I don't think you could possibly run any better than this. What did you put him on by the river? What would you do if you didn't fill up?

[Dan Bitel]

merc,

trust me man...earlier today I was running like [censored]. Dropped 3 buyins. Couldn't hit anything. Not1 of my cbets worked. Opponents hit 2 outers all over the place. So this evening was a welcome relief!!

I pushed the river b/c given his range, i think he has a missed draw, or a hand that calls the river push a lot. Maybe a river C/R would've been sexy, but I like my line. If I didnt hit my 4outer...i got no idea. I'd like to say bet/fold, but I'd prob bet/call

Tickner,
I think you played that A8o hand well. But WTF on the turn 3bet in your JJ hand? He's not folding, and you're not ahead.

[/ QUOTE ]

Eh. I'm kind of MEH about that hand.

I do not think its an easy spot to fold. The pot is $90 when he raised $30 more. Im gettin 3-1 on a call. I could call, however many cards are scarey. I have an open ender, and an over pair. I've been getting min-raise bluffed a lot lately at $1/2. Its a very different game than $100NL. Players are more agressive (but not necessarily better). I have had to make quite a few adjustments to start winning at this level consistently. I call here often, but against this particular player, I felt that I was ahead of his bluff and I did not want to face a big river bet. Either I make a move at the pot now or I fold. I dont like folding an overpair getting 3-1, but I dont like him drawing cheaply for a free showdown when I am ahead either.

Those are my thoughts. Perhaps I should have folded. Im kinda MEH. I have a feeling a lot of you will say insta fold, but I have been doing a number of things lately that this forum might disagree with and are improving my winrate.
