Stars 30 - a couple of questions
So, been running terrible lately, and of course, I'm doubting everything I do. So, let's post some hands and get feedback. Here's a couple I wasn't completely sure about:
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t150 (5 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Relevant read: Villian here seems pretty normal (at least up to here). Although he made a comment about losing to someone's 3 outer when it was actually a 6 outer early on, so wasn't sure how stupid he really was. Hadn't made any ridiculous plays though. UTG (t3537) Hero (t1870) Button (t3443) SB (t395) BB (t4255) Preflop: Hero is MP with 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t400</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, BB calls t250. Flop: (t875) J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero ??? <font color="black"> PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t400 (3 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Relevant read: Villian here has been very tight. Not stealing as often as he should, and hadn't seen him resteal once before. Hero (t4660) SB (t5390) BB (t3450) Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t1225</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB raises to t5390</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero ?? <font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> <font color="black"> </font> |

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
First hand, I would need a read on bigstack to raise his blind with 33. Fold preflop. Check flop.
Second hand I call. AJ is nice 3 handed. |

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
Yeah, the raise with 33 was more of a steal attempt than anything. Wasn't wanting a caller for sure. But once he smooth-called then checked that flop, is a push there right?
With the AJ, that was VERY close to me. Against most people, its an instacall, but when a guy hasn't restole all game, do you give him credit here, get back to stealing blinds (which has been easy)? |

[/ QUOTE ] I would never try to "steal" from UTG+1. And no, I would not push the flop. Checking to a preflop raiser is not always a sign of weakness. |

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
So, you view it more as UTG+1, and I view it as the CO with a pair... maybe that's where my flaw lies.
So, hand as it played out, do you check behind the flop and fold to any bet on turn? What's your plan? |

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
Look at who you are stealing from. Does not look like a good spot at all to me without a very good read.

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
I don't think hand 1 is tough at all on the flop. Don't put in any more money unless you think you can bluff him out. What are you beating here? Overcards without a club, thats it. If he will let you check it down, nice.

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
Hand 1 - Fold preflop, trying to steal from the big stack is normally not a good idea.
Hand 2 - Push preflop. |

Re: Stars 30 - a couple of questions
