[/ QUOTE ] I'm a newbie to NL too, but the books I've picked up so far are: 1) Professional NL (Flynn/Mehta/Miller) 2) NLHE: Theory & Practice (Sklansky/Miller) 3) Harrington -- for tournament strategy So far I think the Flynn/Mehta book is going to be the most applicable to practical advice for cash games. |

Re: First hand post in new forum
A river bet would practically amount to a bluff.
Probably I check the turn after getting called on that flop, with the plan of folding to a river bet unless it's a very small bet or I improve. (Mainly, I'm worried about Kx.) With a read that UTG was very loose, I might start liking my hand a little more, but as it is, I hate my hand once I get called on the king-high flop (my turned OESD does cheer me up a little, though). I haven't read what Private Joker wrote yet, so now I guess I'll look and see if we agreed or not. Edit: Oh, I guess PJ just talked about books. His list looks good to me. |

I'll be the one asking questions until I don't totally suck anymore. |

Re: First hand post in new forum
Yeah, to tie this thread together, in NLHTAP, one of the concepts in Part 2 is about turn checking behind being a much better thing to do in NL than LHE - actually a perfect concept for this board. (It's #54 - just looked it up.)
Besides not liking to be c-r with a good draw, a turn check can induce a river bluff from some type of busted draw (that part doesn't really apply to this hand though.) |

Re: First hand post in new forum
Seems standard with no reads. A typical player isn't likely to dump a weak king here. And you would simply be feeding more dough to a slow played monster.
I'm guessing he limped with 88 and you are cursing yourself for not three barreling him out of the pot. First attempt at analyzing a NL hand from a limit player in the process of converting BTW. Did I do OK? |

Re: First hand post in new forum
i probably wouldn't bet the turn. after turning an OESD i wouldn't want to be check raised off of it.

Re: First hand post in new forum
I think its limit tendancies like 2nd barrelling that i need to get off, cuz looking at the hand objectively now, i think i 2 barrell too much, and like charlie said, i dont want to be pushed off my draw now.
Thx for the book suggestions Joker |
