Re: DESPERATE - LINE CHECKS NEEDED
1-3 std, unlucky
4 i wouldnt usually bet the turn, don't think he's folding a K 5, meh I think this is fine against an unknown folding wouldnt be bad either. |

Re: DESPERATE - LINE CHECKS NEEDED
Hand 1, bet more on the flop, bet more on the turn making your river push easier.
Hand 2 very very very very nice, especially raise amount on the turn. Hand 3 is solid Hand 4 is pretty solid post-flop, pretty bad pre-flop. Hand 5 is pretty high variance and you are at the lowest part of the range that a standard player would do this. 3-bet more btw. If you have a read this is fine, but most of the time folding is best. |

[/ QUOTE ] ok thanks man I respect your comments with regards to the T8s pre-flop, I had stats on the people behind me all having high fold to cont. bet %s among other things and in Hand 5 I forgot to mention I had a possible tilt-image, which kinda got me to call. edit - in Hand 5, that's a pot sized re-raise; what do you recommend and why? |

Re: DESPERATE - LINE CHECKS NEEDED
Don't ever use the pot button =P.
As with everything in poker, knowing "why" is the crucial element of the equation. You want to 3-bet harder for a few reasons: 1. Cut down on implied odds 2. Make your squeezes more believable 3. Potentially fold better hands (you hold AK villain has 77 for instance) 4. For value As a general SSNL observation I've noticed that when you raise strong, people are much less inclined to bluff you pre-flop. For instance, 2 limpers before you and you are on the button with a marginal hand like 77 or KQ. Assuming $100NL, if you make it $6, the blinds are going to fold a multitude of hands. Same with 3-bets. I've noticed that when I repop huge with a 3-bet, most players won't shove AK over me because of the strength I have shown (not always though). |

Re: DESPERATE - LINE CHECKS NEEDED
Hand 1 - pot turn so river push is smaller bet, obv shove river
Hand 2 - fine Hand 3 - I bet more on flop, but standard Hand 4 - its 5 handed, preflop is fine! ignore the hating nits. Postflop is good too Hand 5 - Seems fine, i often just mash the pot button, but since you have position and a good hand you don't need to raise it that much harder, making it 3-4x his range is fine either way. I get allin here preflop vs most players, stats on him help. Based on these hands you play well |
