NL10: Two suited connector hands, 1 OESD and 1 FD

[ElectricWaffles]

Hi all. Here i'm posting two hands I played involving suited connectors. I'd appreciate your input on prefolp and postflop play.

Hand One:

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.05/$0.10 Blinds - 10 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $2.00
BB: $20.14
UTG: $10.00
UTG+1: $3.75
UTG+2: $1.70
MP1: $10.00
MP2: $5.37
MP3: $10.42
CO: $12.19
Waffles (BTN): $10.75

Preflop: Waffles is dealt 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (10 Players)
UTG calls $0.10, UTG+1 calls $0.10, 3 folds, <font color="red">MP3 raises to $0.30</font>, CO folds, Waffles calls $0.30, 2 folds, UTG calls $0.20, UTG+1 calls $0.20

Flop: ($1.35) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 Players)
UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP3 checks, <font color="red">Waffles bets $1.00</font>, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls $1.00, MP3 folds

Turn: ($3.35) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG+1 checks, Waffles checks

River: ($3.35) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG+1 checks, Waffles checks

Pot Size: $3.35 ($0.16 Rake)

Reads - UTG is 44/3.4/1.2 over ~60 hands. MP3 is 42/14.6/3 over about 50. It's a small sample but it gives a rough indication. This hand was a while ago so I dont remember any specific plays they made before.

Should I have bet the turn or river?


Hand 2:

Party Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.05/$0.10 Blinds - 10 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $1.80
BB: $7.90
UTG: $10.00
UTG+1: $1.85
UTG+2: $6.10
MP1: $10.62
MP2: $9.90
MP3: $9.05
CO: $13.04
Waffles (BTN): $9.85

CO posts $0.15
Preflop: Waffles is dealt J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (10 Players)
UTG calls $0.10, 2 folds, MP1 calls $0.10, 2 folds, CO checks, Waffles calls $0.10, SB calls $0.05, BB checks

Flop: ($0.60) 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (6 Players)
<font color="red">SB bets $0.20</font>, 3 folds, <font color="red">CO raises to $0.40</font>, Waffles calls $0.40, SB folds

Turn: ($1.60) T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
<font color="red">CO bets $0.30</font>, <font color="red">Waffles raises to $1.50</font>, CO calls $1.20

River: ($4.60) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
CO checks, <font color="red">Waffles bets $3.00</font>, CO folds

Pot Size: $7.60

Should I have raised this PF?

Reads - UTG and MP2 are both donkeys (around 40/5) but with high post flop agg. factors. CO seems tight at 12.8/7.7/4 so far this session. I've been playing similar to CO so far this session.

Is the river bet inspired or moronic? What about raising the turn?

Any input welcome

Hand one looks fine, I don't imagine you fold anything that beats you. You can reraise these from time to time on the button for a ghangeup too.

Hand two I raise PF definitely. I like your line. Turn raise is fine. On the river you have repped a big hand and really need to follow through.

Hand 1: I'm betting $2 on the river. He's check called your flop bet, then checked too you twice, i doubt he has anything.


Hand 2: It's fine, he missed his FD so your good too steal.
