I think I got the money in there for the right odds, though not quite sure. I think I'm down 3 buy-ins in the last hour to hands like this. Am I playing them right?

Both hands look fine. Hand 1 you can maybe find a fold on turn. I have no idea how 2c/4c plays these days so I have no idea what range to give SB.

Hand 2 is played well. When you get raised on the flop just shove

fold pf - why are you playing 67o as sb?

nebuer · #4 10-24-2007, 10:54 PM

i called 2c in an 18c pot, for the chance of a 2 pair or straight, or 3 of a kind, why not?

JereLock · #5 10-24-2007, 11:06 PM

b/c its 67o and your oop and you have 2 players behind you that could make it a 4way ...

completing here is very very standard. I'm fine with both hands.

nebuer · #7 10-24-2007, 11:15 PM

I usually limp in SB with any 2 suited, any connectors, any ace, any king, is that bad?

Agreed. Cant see a reason not call here especially at 2c/4c

Agreed, no reason not to complete with 67o in the SB.

Hand 1:

I think you can fold the turn here. It was you who took the lead preflop and on the flop, so you've shown plenty of strength. Despite this UTG shoves the turn. I'd assume he was ahead of you there, with something like KT or a set. If he had some other hand take a note. FWIW I dont always raise KJo preflop there, although I think many other people do. I think at these stakes you can play tighter than a duck's arse, and still people will stack off with garbage against you.

Hand 2:

Preflop - Good.

Flop - The dumb end of a straight really sucks balls, but betting the pot first in is good there. When MP2 raises and CO calls I'm not sure. I'd probably do exactly what you did and 3bet hoping that he's doing this with a set. I'm hoping CO is drawing, but I think he can have the nuts here also.

I'm not good enough to lay down a flopped straight so I think I'd 3bet, as you did, thus the rest of that hand basically plays itself (arrr in!). It'd be nice to hear from one of the strat/theory experts though i think.

After you've 3bet you cant fold because you're in too deep.
