I hate hand 15, preflop min-3bet? Shove that.

First hand looks weird too, why go for a flip right away?

I probably bet more on the river on hand 8 too.

Kalledrengen · #3 07-30-2007, 05:16 PM

Hand 1:
I 3-bet him here, rasing it to 300 cause I think that's what makes the most money on average.

Hand 3:
Seems standard. However I must say I raise Q8o pf in sb more often than I just call. How many inhere raise Q8o more often than not aswell? (Just curious if other people tend to raise or call such a somewhat boarderline -but imo strong HU- hand)

Hand 4:
Hmm, if I'm up against the right type of villian I also raise Q3o aswell in SB unless the flow of the game is against it (villian being extreamly aggro lately ect)

Else it seems standard, sometime you minbet it after he checks sometimes you don't.

Hand 5:
This is read dependant + knowledge about the last couple of hands. Without such info you played it correctly imo.

Hand 8:
I would probably make a 350 valuebet on the river rather than 250, but that also depends [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hand 10:
It might just be me, but I'm really not a fan of such all-ins (same with hand 1). I prefere 3-betting because of 3 things mainly.
1 - I might win without risking too much.
2 - I might induce a reraise AI bluff vs aggro villian
3 - Gives me a chance to fold if a a passive nit pushes all-in. (that is if you are confident you can grind him down, why take any 50% chances?)

But wether it's more or less correct is so dependant on how the game has envolved so far and how villian has played, so really tough to give any advice on such hands without reads ect. But in both cases it isn't a terrible play no matter what, matter of preferences I guess.

Hand 11:
Raise PF

Hand 15:
Would probably raise him a bit more than 425.

------

This is my opinion on the hands, however I'm not a very experienced HU player yet, so take those advices as you want [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Ya wtf with the overpushing the AQ and AK yet minraising JJ when it's actually appropriate to push???

frede89 · #5 07-30-2007, 06:13 PM

Lets just say the AK overpush is a bad habbit from the $11s [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

And thanks for the feedback. I definitely need some help getting my game together [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
