Hand #1: Just sat at the table maybe 10 minutes ago. No reads on villain but haven't seen him do anything out of line. Comments on all streets are welcome.

3 folds, Hero raises to $35, SB (poster) calls $30, 1 fold.

Hand #2: Been at the table for 30 minutes or so. My image is probably a little on the loose side but nothing crazy. Villain is a little loose but mostly standard. Again comments on all streets welcome.

I'd also like some comments on how I played the hands. Specifically what do you guys think about the call flop/raise turn?

Fine.

Note that, because of your straightening outs, just calling the turn on hand #1 is also a decent play.

fslexcduck · #6 03-11-2006, 11:40 PM

fold, call.

hate turn raise in hand 1, you have outs, it is WA/WB, just call. spike a J and bust his 87.

pretty much sums it up

Turn raise in hand 1 is really really bad. He CMR'd you on the flop so he's got a legitimate hand and then he severely underbets the turn. Seems like your opponent is a moron who doesn't extract proper value with his big hands. Why help him?

If he weakly bets river, call. If he bombs river, he obv doesn't have Tx so you have an easy fold.

Spladle · #9 03-12-2006, 03:59 AM

I probably wouldn't raise the turn in hand 1 but it's not a terrible play. You should fold to the 3-bet without reads.

Hand 2 is an easy, easy call.

Yeah, I pretty much agree with what has been said here. On a related note. I just moved up to 5/10 from 3/6 (for the second time). I once read someone on this forum say that the 3/6 games and the 5/10 games are pretty much the same. From my limited experience this doesn't appear to be true. What do you guys think is the biggest differences between 3/6 and 5/10?
