Hand reading exercise

I have noticed that many are making 'deep analysis'. By that I mean putting villain on a range and then calculate EV for different lines. This is very good but I think there is one part of hand reading many are missing. Try to put these players on ranges in these hands I played last night.

Good luck!

Relatively useless stats, so I'll just assume UTG is basically sane/passive and SB is LP preflop and randomly aggressive postflop.

Hand 1
Hero holds {AJs, KJs, A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], can sushi fold an overpair on the river for two bets? Maybe also QQ}
UTG holds {QQ-JJ with an outside chance of AA-KK and 77}
SB holds {Who knows... maybe some silly hand like QJ, 76s, I don't see many hands that contain a 2 that would get that far}

Re: Hand reading exercise

Wanna show me the 30 hands before this? Then I can Daniel it.

Hand 1 you have pocket 10's, UTG holds AJ, SB is stupid even if he wins

Hand 2 who cares they both have full house likely and they are both stupid.

Hand 3 hero has two pair, mp1 has flush straight draw probably AJ diamonds and makes a stupid call on the river or misplayed AKo earlier, BB spikes runner runner with Qx of spades.

Re: Hand reading exercise

Hand 1
Hero holds {99-1010}
UTG holds {66-77 or JJ}
SB holds {22 32 or 72}

Hand 2
SB holds{any 2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]} hopefully 57 or 710 also could be 98-9Qs
UTG holds {97-92}

Hand 3
BB holds{Kx [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]}
MP1 holds {99-JJ}
Hero holds{KJs}

So these were my guesses, I don't think any are even close but I took a shot.

Crap... missed the pocket pair with gutshot for sushi.

Edit: Wait.. ummmm... there's no gutshot and I'm a moran for glancing quickly at the other responses without referring back to the OP.

Re: Hand reading exercise

I assume hero is a good solid player (you?)

Hand1: Hero has TT or AQh/AKh, since he bets again on the turn.

Hand3: KQd makes most sense to me, why not cap flop. I don't think hero would cc KJd pf. He might cc ATd/AJd, but i don't see him calling A high on the river.

Re: Hand reading exercise

what's up with everyone who thinks hero should call a turn c/r with TT (or 99) in hand 1. xhad postulate ftw.

Re: Hand reading exercise

After reading the responses in hand 1 it looks like AK or AQ [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. For hero, that would be a better hand to b/c with than 99 or 10. Still, hero could call a raise with 99 or 1010 on the turn because thats how I would have played it.

Give ranges not single hands. If the correct hand is in the range u stated you get points. The narrower the range the more points. But if the correct hand is not in the range at all u score zero. Very clear rules, now Gogogoggogogo!
