Re: uNL Hand Reading Practice
I'll probably start with just a few of these. Damnit AJ.
Hand 1: A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] all in on river hand
Overall line: raise pf, bet flop, b3b turn - aggressive
preflop: range is super wide here, raising from the button
flop: still pretty damn wide as this is an easy c-bet
turn: you bet and were called on the flop, and when checked to were willing to take another stab. You were also c/raised, and willing to shove on top.
I'd say your range on the turn now is pretty tight. 77,QQ,AA,AQ. A9,99 also possible. The board is really drawy, so I'm not sure if you'd play AK this way, esp. since you're facing a turn raise. I suppose it's possible you have something like K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], but you probably would have just called the turn raise.
Best guess: AQ
---------
Hand 2: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] all in on river
overall line: cold call preflop, bet flop, bet turn, raise river all in. very aggressive.
Preflop: You're cold calling here on the button to a CO raise. Due to the lack of a reraise, I'm ruling out QQ-AA, and AK. Possibly even able to rule out 99-TT and AQ.
Flop: 3 players to the flop, and you're not afraid to bet. Here your hand looks like A9,AT,AJ, possibly Ax suited (A5,A4). Diamond draws are also possible ( KQs,KJs,JTs,98s,87s,76s, etc). Sets also very possible - 44,55.
Turn: The board has 2 FD's, and it's checked to you. If you were drawing here with diamonds you probably would check behind. You bet though, so it looks like you are probably holding a big hand or an ace (44,55,A9+)
River: This is an interesting card. A 3 now gives anyone the straight - of course it's not a likely holding preflop.
After 2 streets of check/calling, the SB comes alive and fires 1/2 pot.
What do you have? A;spade:3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] quite possible since you bet the turn. You'd probably just call with 2 pair here, but I'm not really sure. Hmmmmm....
Best guess: [censored]. I dunno. 55?
-----
Hand 3: Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] passive line
overall line: raise pf, bet flop, check turn, call river
- this feels like a WA/WB line without even reading the details.
Preflop: CO raise the limper, broad range here
Flop: Only 2 to the flop, very wide again because we could c-bet
Turn: The board has 3 hearts out, and we check behind. It's now unlikely we have a Queen or a big hand (set, 2 pair, etc).
River: The ace is an interesting card. Villain leads here after playing very passive, and we're willing to call. There's no raise, so we didn't make the flush draw. I'm guessing you have something like 99-JJ or a weak queen (QT,QJ). An ace isn't unreasonable either, given the c-bet / check turn / call river line. This could be A9-AK.
Best guess: AJ
----
Hand 4: K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] pot control
Overall line: raise pf, bet flop, check turn, bet river
preflop: UTG raise here is quite strong. This puts a lot of pairs in your range, as well as high broadways
flop: you bet when checked to, again broad because of c-bets.
turn: you check behind villain when the queen comes. It's a drawy board for straights, so you probably don't have two pair (KJ,KQ) or a big hand (33,JJ,etc)
river: here when checked to you decide to bet. This really feels like you're trying to get value from a 2nd pair.
best guess: AK
-------
Hand 5: A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] ape [censored] on flop
overall line: raise pf, call r/r preflop, raise flop, call 3bet on flop - very strong
Well, you're will to call a reraise preflop, and get it all in on the flop.
In a reraised pot we're not really ever folding top pair. Also, because villain 3bets flop AND reraised preflop, we can't go very far with QQ-KK.
I'd say it's pretty safe to say we have either AK, AA, or JJ here, with a slim chance of having 77.
Best Guess: AK
----
Hand 6: T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
overall line: limp preflop, raise flop, bet turn, bet river
strong because we had options to check behind
preflop: a limp here on CO is pretty weak. you're probably raising most pairs, and you'd never limp in with Ax or Kx here. You very likely have something like 76,87,98,JT, and some one-gappers
flop: 6 to the flop here and you raise a bet. I think most draws here just call rather than raise because they can be pushed off a hand with a ton behind. Looks like you could have T8 or 86 here. Also possible is a made straight like 97. JT wouldn't raise here, it would just call or even fold I think.
turn: you have the option to check behind, and again bet. Feels like you have T8 here
river: villain checks, you shove.
Best Guess: T8s or 97
------
Hand 7: 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
overall line: raise pf, bet flop, call turn, call river
feels like a top pair type hand
preflop: button raise means nothin
flop: heads up, this is gonna be bet a lot
turn: villain c/c'ed your flop bet, then led into you, and you feel strong enough to call here. It's also worth nothing that you didn't raise, so you're not afraid of this drawy board (22,88,55,66 are now ruled out)
river: villain bets again, and you just call with no raise. I think a hand like A8 or 98 here make the most sense.
Best guess: A8
-----
Hand 8: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
overall line: raise preflop, check flop, c/c turn, check river
very weak
pf: utg raise is strong. again, lots of pairs in this range.
flop: no c-bet from hero, which is strange. I'm assuming villain here is a station, or hero wants some pot control and wants to check/call with something like T9.
turn: hero checks again, villain takes a stab, hero calls
river: hero still doesn't love his hand, villain checks behind.
Best guess: T9
---------
Hand 9: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
overall line: raise utg, bet flop, b/3b turn
-strong-
pf: utg raise here is strong - lots of pairs and high broadways, along with small pairs
flop: standard bet
turn: getting raise on the turn here is a little scary for hands like KK-AA, and even AQ.
This looks like 55,66,JJ,QQ to me. None are really more likely than another, so it's hard for me to give a best guess here.
Best guess: set. I'll say JJ for the hell of it
-----
Hand 10: 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
overall line: raise pf, bet flop, bet, call 3b-ai on turn
pretty strong
preflop: CO raise is wide
flop: when checked to hero bets. it's an ugly board though, so who knows
turn: this should narrow the range. the board now has a 1-card draw to a straight, and BB raises all in. anyone with 0-level reading can see the straight is possible. Hero HAS to have an 8 here to continue. Villain could easily hold 2 pair.
Best Guess: 98 or 87
-----------
Hand 11: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
overall line: cold call pf, donk flop, b3b river
super-strong
preflop: we're calling an UTG raise in the CO, so we're pretty strong here. lots of pairs, maybe a few good suited connectors, maybe AJs-AKs. JJ-AA unlikely because we'd reraise. Some people cold call AK to an UTG raise, others re-raise, not sure how AJ likes it [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I'll assume he reraises though and take this out of his range.
Flop: hero donks into this. A Q isn't too likely given his preflop calling range. I'd say 66 and 33 look pretty likely here.
Turn: villain c/r's villain, hero shoves it in without thinking.
33,66 most likely here - AK would be in an ugly spot if we cold called preflop, but we'd probably have to call here. KQ is a possibility, but less likely to call preflop unless it's suited.
Best guess: 66 or 33
-----
Hand 12: T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
overall line: raise pf, bet flop, check turn, call river
seems like a one-pair type hand
pf: co raise, wide range
flop: c-bet when checked to , wide
turn: 3rd flush card comes, and we don't bet, so we probably didn't make the flush here. It seems like if we had a ten we'd bet here.
river: King comes, and villain bets small. We just call.
Best guess: c-bet got called down, we luckboxed with a King on the river. We didn't raise though, so probably not KT. I'd guess KJ,KQ,AK
How'd I do AJ?
