NL100: AA utg + 3 Callers + MUBS = Too Passive or Pot Control?
Greetings All…
Just coming off a downswing (-550BB in four days)…half of it was variance (one/two outer’s – kings losing to aces – aces losing to kings – kings to sets - straights to flushes…yada-yada-yada.) but most of the rest was self-inflicted… I’ve been overplaying unimproved big pairs (AA/KK) – winning small pots or losing big ones (notably in losing sessions following a suckout)…also seem to have developed a case of the MUBS (monsters-under-bed-syndrome). After a day off, 4 hours of hand analysis, renewed confidence from finding a leak, and arming my monitor with the following new stickies: “Big Pots/Big Cards” “Pot Control is Your Friend!” “Unimproved AA/KK = 1 pair!” I was dealt this hand… Thoughts on all streets are appreciated… Been at the table 40 hands or so...limited reads: Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) CO ($166.62)– 57/17/1.84 seems to play any two suited/gapped cards Button ($93.35)– fairly passive 32/4/1.4 SB ($35) BB ($112.82)- is pretty solid - 25/11/1.44 Hero ($90.05)- I’m 22/14/1.80…pretty much ABC so far (no showed down hands to speak of) MP ($87.82) Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB posts a blind of $0.50. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to $4</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls $4, Button calls $4, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls $3. <font color="#CC3333">After the third caller I begin to chant "Please Flop an Ace...Please Flop an Ace!"</font> Flop: ($16.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">After whining about not being dealt the Ac, wondering if someone flopped the flush or hit their set, I curse the poker gods, read my NEW stickies (refer to top of post), and check.</font> BB checks, Hero checks, CO checks, Button checks. Turn: ($16.50) 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333"> I figure I'm likely good here, but still have concerns that one of the two loose oponents behind me may be sitting on something that beats me or likely would call a pot sized bet with a high club. I read my stickies again and decide to check/call a reasonable bet behind me</font>. BB checks, Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $10</font>, Button calls $10, BB folds, Hero calls $10. River: ($46.50) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets $15</font>, Button calls $15, Hero calls $15. Final Pot: $91.50 <font color="green"> </font> <font color="green"> </font> Way too passive or appropriate pot control? |
