I went through hands in PT today since I was bored. I know these are pretty standard spots but I have like 4 hands I just want to check. I am going to make 3 posts, and won’t make anymore for awhile. Hopefully that is okay.


Hand 1
<font color="blue"> No reads our history. I have been relatively quiet at the table. </font>
PartyPoker No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (6 handed)

SB ($700.90)
BB ($282.50)
UTG ($375.90)
Hero ($392)
CO ($196)
Button ($119.50)

Preflop: Hero is MP with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $8</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $58</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, UTG calls $50.

Flop: ($122) 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $70</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $140</font>, Hero folds.
-So is this a good board to c/b on? When you c/b this board are you usually happy? Thoughts on preflop? Folding to minraise has to be standard.


Hand2
<font color="blue"> Okay so now we have an AA in a 3bet pot on a mediocre low turn card. No history that I could remember with this player, he hasn’t been out of the line for the short time I have been at the table. </font>
PartyPoker No-Limit Hold'em, $4 BB (5 handed)

Button ($86.50)
Hero ($403)
BB ($398)
UTG ($894)
MP ($121.40)

Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">UTG raises to $14</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $48</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG calls $34.

Flop: ($100) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $74</font>, UTG calls $74.

Turn: ($248) 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets $281 (All-In)</font>, UTG folds.

I usually shove any turn card, but wanted to see what people think about checking the turn? Do you guys notice, when you check the turn in 3bet pots, people usually auto bet it so eh?
