Some 25NL hands

Gospy · #1 09-13-2007, 01:19 AM

Ok, so I had a pretty rough session today, anyway here's some hands I could use some advice on:

-Hand 1-
Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

Hero (SB): $32.55
BB: $22.50
UTG: $10.55
MP: $71.10
CO: $26.35
BTN: $23.80

Preflop: Hero is dealt 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (6 Players)
4 folds, Hero raises to $1.00, BB calls $0.75

Flop: ($2) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero bets $1.50, BB calls $1.50

Turn: ($5) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero bets $3.50, BB raises to $7.00, Hero calls $3.50

River: ($19) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
Hero checks, BB bets all-in for $13.00, Hero calls $13.00

Pot Size: $45.00 ($2.25 Rake)

This guy was 35/13. Didn't seem too good. Is the turn minraise enough to fold the river? Is this just value towning me?

-Hand 2-
Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $0.10/$0.25 Blinds - 6 Players - (LegoPoker Hand History Converter)

SB: $30.80
BB: $25.00
UTG: $51.40
Hero (MP): $25.00
CO: $24.65
BTN: $33.40

Preflop: Hero is dealt K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (6 Players)
UTG calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, 4 folds, UTG calls $1.00

Flop: ($2.85) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $2.25, UTG calls $2.25

Turn: ($7.35) 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG checks, Hero bets $5.00, UTG raises all-in to $47.90, Hero calls all-in for $16.50
Uncalled bet of $26.40 returned to UTG

River: ($50.35) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (2 Players - 2 All-In)

Pot Size: $50.35 ($2.50 Rake)

This guy was about 60/5. He was really bad. Very loose calling station, he would play any two pf. I was pretty sure he didn't have any ace here. However, I guess I don't beat much here, dunno.

UTG checks, Hero checks

River: ($5.85) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 Players)
UTG bets $10.25, Hero calls $10.25

Pot Size: $26.35 ($1.30 Rake)

This guy was running about 50/5. He would overbet the river any time he hit a piece of the board. Anything at all.

I guess today I just found myself out flopping players and then they would catch like bottom pair and turn a set or whatever. I was gonna post some other hands, but they seem pretty much standard or are just coolers.

Basically my question is, how could I have played these 3 hands differently?, and can I get away from them?

Hand 1: I hate the turn & I hate his minraise. I don't think I could get away from this. And if you are calling river UI, I would just put him all in on turn. If you think you could get away if another club came, then as played is fine, but homeboy might get away if board pairs, although probably not at this level.

Hand 2: How aggro is he post flop? If he's really aggro, then I guess this is fine, but I still hate betting out this turn. I just check with my tail between my legs. I definitely fall to his shove. We beat like... pocket pairs & 3x. I dunno how much of his range this is, but given action, I doubt it's that big of a %. Just check behind on turn & call reasonable river bet (up to 2/3rds pot, if he's that spewy).

Hand 3: Gotta bet this turn. Fold river.

Hand 1: With his VPIP I think he defends blinds with all kinds of junk, on flop his call doesn't narrow range much. Turn completes two draws, also makes two pair quite a bit. Maybe he's slowplaying overpair + FD. Seems like the kind of card he is betting/raising no matter what. I consider c/c here if he's aggressive. B/c passive. Didn't run any equity calcs but seems like you have odds to fill up. Mostly folding river when shove comes.

Hand 2: Not betting turn. Loose, station can clearly have worst hand at this point but you cannot call raise IMO. Drawing nearly dead if he pushes. You say he's a station so I expect him to check river mostly on busted draw.

Hand 3: I would bet this turn and call push. As played if he actually overbets every river with any part of board, regardless of how strong/weak his hand is this seems like easy call. I have never seen this kind of player though.

My 2c.

Thanks mook, I really don't think I can get away from the first hand. Second hand. Problem is I've seen him literally play anything. In this case he had 56. His range is so wide. In retrospect, I guess I was playing what my hud said and not the board, I guess I should have just check folded the turn as that's probably a better long term play. Hand 3, same sort of thing, villain was just sort of getting under my skin, cause he did this before with air. So, thanks again. I just need to think more long term.

I only fold the river against that particular opponent if I had bet the turn.
