1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

I'm a limit player that's just starting to learn some no limit (playing shorthanded only), so this is my first post here. My turn play was really weak, and by the river even 78 got there. What do you do here on the turn?

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

CO ($107.75)
Button ($98.50)
SB ($136.80)
BB ($102.20)
UTG ($216.56)
Hero ($218.80)

Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50.
UTG calls $1, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $5</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, BB calls $4, UTG calls $4.

Flop: ($15.50) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>

UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $22</font>, UTG calls $22.

Final Pot: $132.50

I'm also kinda curious on my stats, since they are completely different from limit (at which I've been playing from 10/20 to 30/60). I've only been playing the 6-max games and my stats over about 10k hands are

VPIP: 26.6
PFR: 16.9
WTSD: 20.89 (this stat has been falling as I've been getting better)
AF: 2.28 (total)

Are these in the right ballpark? Too tight/loose? Thanks for the feedback.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

For 6max you'll most likely level off at 30/20 or so. That said, your VPIP and PFR look fine. Is your AF total including preflop? If so, thats fine. If its just postflop you might wanna get that a little higher, but dont just concentrate on bumping stats, do what's natural.

As for the hand, I'd check behind on the turn and call a small bet on the river. A few reasons would be to keep the pot small because you only have a very mediocre hand, and to allow him to bluff on the river if he's got air. Gets you a cheap showdown.

My aggression factor is including preflop (which is 1.51). Checking the turn and calling a small bet sounds reasonable, I was trying to avoid giving a free card to a straight draw or if somehow he made it to the turn with clubs. Thanks for the response.

Bet more on the turn, call river as played.

First of all, youre playing .50/$1 NL ...not $1/$2 NL

Raising that much in these small stakes will get you killed. This opinion is not shared by most 2+2ers, but my database says otherwise. Of course my database (like poker in general) is full of morons.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

Check turn.

You pretty much have to call the river here getting 5 to 1.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

Once I got to that point I'd call the river for sure, but obviously wouldn't be expecting to win the pot.

Where do you think I raised to much? I thought the spots I raised (preflop, flop) were pretty standard. Sorry about the limits, I was playing some 1/2 as well and got this hand mixed up with them.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

check turn

Call river bet

lol, I never realised how [censored] iceman was. He was good enough to beat ssnl and thats it, nothing involving more thought than basic tag.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

God this is a bad hand OP. Just quit poker and save yourself some money.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

iceman is a [censored] nit. he just set mines and plays AA/KK. for serious.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

The first poker site I ever found was iceman's, and I thought to myself I never play this way, I must suck.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

holy [censored] this might be my favorite post of all time.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

cts u should prob stick to .5/1 (.25/.50 blinds) for a bit till u get the game a little better. GL w/ your progress.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

i was reading the op 3 times to get the joke until i realized its a bump... nice thread anyway.

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

I'd bet/fold turn for like $38. You're turnbet sux. On riv, I'd still call. You're TT could seriously still be good; I would expect someone with trips or a straight on the river to bet a little bigger, so sometimes you'll see a blocking bet here from 6s or something, or just complete air in all honesty. CALLCALLCALLCALL

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
 

i think you should look him up on the river. how are you ever going to play high stakes if you are scared to call 25$ on the river?

Re: 1/2 6m Overpair Fold
