6.60 Stars (6-handed) AT0 + new here!

Dommelen · #1 06-15-2007, 07:55 AM

First of all, I want to say that I am new here. I am already reading some material since last weeks, and learning a lot from it. So a big THANK YOU to all posters and repliers!!!

I am trying to build a bankroll by playing SnG's. I started $1.20. Recently I am playing 6.60 (6-handed) with a bankroll of $280,-. I love the 6 handed games after a negative spiral at 9 and 10 handed games. Don't know why, but they are just better for me.

In future I will post some hands to learn from them. If you have any critique, please post it, so I can learn from it. Here's the first one:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com

Hero (t3242)
UTG (t2158)
Button (t1605)
SB (t1995)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
2 folds, SB completes, Hero raises to t300, SB calls t200.

Flop: (t600) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero checks.

Turn: (t600) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets t200, SB calls t200.

River: (t1000) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
SB bets t200, Hero folds.

Final Pot: t1200

Was a continuation bet appropriate on the flop?

that flop needed to get bet. turn bet is obviously bs. I wouldnt be surprised if sb didnt even have anything and you just got floated.

If you raise pre, I think you need to bet the flop. And not t200, more t350ish.

Thanks!

Problem with cont. bets is that when you get called/raised, that you're shortstacked right away (edit: in the beginning of a trny. Now I'm the biggest stack, so that would be no problem)... But indeed a big cont bet might be appropriate here...

BTW, what means bs? Blind steal?

Bull ? Sh*t ?

i thought ur english sounded a little funny.
your turn bet is bad.

LOL, I come from Holland, maybe that's why my english sounds funny for you Americans. If you have any corrections, then say so. I'm also still learning english, just like poker [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Preflop is ok, probably?

First rule of speaking English is to be rude. You're way to polite. Tell people that if they don't like your English to F off. There, now your English is 10X better.

Your preflop raise is fine. I make it 275, but 300 is fine.
