Hand 4 - It's probably not a bad idea shoving the turn.

senate83 · #3 06-05-2007, 08:10 AM

all look fairly standard...probably c/f 50% and shoving 50% of the time on hand 4....all depends on if you know anything about that guy

BadBeatsCrewDerk · #4 06-05-2007, 08:10 AM

Hand 2 if you have some info about the reraiser it makes it easier... I am just not a huge fan of getting all in here over a minraise and reraise.

Hand 4 raise an extra BB preflop and push turn. Your hand is good enough, plus you may get someone to lay down a set or 2 pair.

Everything else is standard I think.

EscapePlan9 · #5 06-05-2007, 08:54 AM

I think the "raise an extra BB PF" advice is results-oriented. Raise 3x except when you're going to have multiple-callers, then go back in time and you raise 4x instead.

Regarding OP... you played them all fine.

RexWoo · #6 06-05-2007, 10:21 AM

1. Standard
2. Standard
3. yes but I bet a bit less on flop. I like a cbet as all A/K would be bad for you
4. yes. Shoving the turn might be a better option (that I never take but probably should) as the 4 probably did not help.
5. ZOMG 4 callers ! looks good.

sixfour · #7 06-05-2007, 10:28 AM

1 - standard
2 - hmm, I'm torn between shoving and folding. Folding is probably better but I might just quickly scope the reraiser to see if he's a donk
3 - I limp this pre (I probably play way too passively with JJ early, but w/e) but as played I like the c-bet, but think 200-225 achieves the same here.
4 - preflop and flop look nice, turn card sucks, can't see what he has apart from 77/44 that beats us (unless he's a donk that's playing things like 87 or things that hit random two pair), I might lay this down but it looks close.
5 - standard, got to love people who can't use anything other than the pot button.

All look fine, hand 4 I would probably have folded too, but would have been pissed soon after. I really dont know what I would do on hand 4.
