Three Huge hands in a row, $4, 180-man Stars
Hey !
I just busted out of a $4 180-man sit-n-go on Pokerstars. This is my first post here, and I'd be thankful for some comments on these few hands which eventually led to my demise about 5 hands later (all in w/AK but thats another story). Anyone want to read this and comment on my play ?

Re: Three Huge hands in a row, $4, 180-man Stars
Hand 1: Good
Hand 2: I'd make it 3xBB preflop rather than minraise. I'd raise the flop. I know you want to slowplay that, but with a flop having 2 connected high cards and 2 of a suit, there's a ton of draw possibilities. I wouldn't slowplay, I'd repop the flop to 300. The turn seems fine, you might have been able to get a little more value there, maybe 400 or 500 instead of 300. River is fine. Hand 3: Looks pretty good. Preflop I'd raise to 4xBB instead of 3xBB, with 3 limpers in I'm not too worried about everyone folding to that sized raise. Flop looks fine. I guess that T on the turn gave him trips, oh well. |

Bet more every street of hand 2, raise more preflop hand 3.

Re: Three Huge hands in a row, $4, 180-man Stars
if your gonna reraise on hand 2, do it on the flop. not a big fan of letting him get free spades. and well the min raise... no comment. raise to 250 PF on hand 3, your begging for a 3 way pot here.

THanks.
The reason I chose to slowplay the aces is because it was against the same guy who just lost to my queens. i guess that reasoning was bad. |

I'd think, if anything, you can afford to play faster against that guy who just lost to your queens, he probably won't think you have a premium hand twice in a row. I dunno. I'm not sure what metagame things are worth worrying about in a situation like that, but that board is scary enough for me to play fast regardless of any other factors.

the biggest mistake you can do at low level buyins is trying to slow play something, if the fishies hit TPNK your AA will be money - don't be scared to raise 4x bb you'll still get action. Again avoid 3 way pot on hand 3, they will probably think its a steal because of your rush anyways.

I'll slowplay a flopped set (or better) fairly often and get paid off well. But you have to be very selective about it. I would almost never slowplay an overpair to the board, especially on a board with any sort of draw possibilities. I might consider trying to slowplay AA on a K83r board or something like that. |
