Plugging Some BB Leaks 3 Hands

soda · #1 05-26-2007, 09:23 AM

Ok, well, the title says it all. My BB is at -0.22 over the last 30k hands. It's probably because I like to supermultitablemax and fold my BB like always.

All games are online 10/20 6 max.

HAND #1

Villain is 34/18/1.9 and seems a completely competent, but probably losing player in this game.

I'm wondering about the standard line in hand #3. Is standard line, B/R this flop, bet all three streets unless raised even when whiffing? Then, only deviate based on read?

Thanks,

soda

Is this the standard line for any weak hand with showdown value? Or is this board simply too scary, too high chance of being or becoming second best to get lots of bets in OOP?

Also, if the board were 235 two tone, then the level of aggression I took in this hand would be much more appropriate, correct?

Thanks,

soda

once he 3bets your flop cr in hand 1 he's going to sd like always so capping is pretty bad.

hand 2 is whatever. fine i guess.

hand 3 bet turn and give him a chance to fold the huge number of hands that peel that flop.

also 30k hands that means you've got like 5k for each blind? pathetic sample. in my new database my bb is (.11) and my sb is (.10) and that's over 72k total hands.

Without looking at above comments:

Hand one would be a good semibluff opportunity if you had like 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img],T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], but with marginal showdown value and a good draw, just check and call the flop. You're not getting a better ace high to fold. Usually check raise the turn once the ace hits.

Hand two looks fine.

I'm 3 barreling hand 3 or I'm not raising the flop.

gehrig,

i c/c here alot too, but surely you can't say that c/raising is always bad here... ie, that you can never do any % of the time. so assume you did c/r. do you just call the 3b, c/c the turn. then say you improve. donk or try to c/r river?

Hand 3...

I was wondering about this also, obviously I totally crapped this hand which is why I posted it. But when I look at the texture of the board, so many hands will call two barrels and then fold to the third that it seems like a pretty obvious raise, three barrel opportunity. Do most people agree that this is a good three barrel type hand?

Thanks,

soda
