A few hands I thought were worthy of discussion.

On this hand: Do you push with 2 pair on the flop( not top two pair)with a straight or flush draw on the board or raise the pot not on the turn (as i did) but on the flop. How do you play these hands short handed?

On this hand: Should I have called his raise on the turn. And if he puts me all in ,I fold on the river I guess. What if he raises the same amount as the turn leaving me with about 700 chips if I call and lose?

Ok last one!

Should I fold here? Minimum raise seemed suspicious. I busted out the next hand thinking of this one

Thanks for reading these. I hope they were descent enough to post.

Edit -

OK actually looked at the hands for real now.

You seem to have a habit of not betting your hands when you're ahead and aggressively betting them when you're behind - reverse that around.

[Jauron]

I'd advise you to refuse to slow play any hand for a few weeks or months, learn how to extract money without doing it. Once you do that, you can start to consider slow playing again. I am not sure you understand WHY you slowplay or why you do not.

Multiway limp pots are not the time to slow play bottom 2, top pair or trips with no kicker against random villains.

First hand, get something in on that flop, anything. I don't care if you push (silly IMO but at least you are putting money in the pot) bottom two + slowplaying in multipot is a great way to go broke.

2nd- I don't get limping with AK, checking the flop when you hit and then pushing the instant someone shows an interest in the pot. Is everyone slow playing AQ?

3- Treat trips (not sets) like TPTK when it comes to betting. in other words until/if you fill up don't slow play it in this spot.

Last hand is the only interesting one.
Hand 1 fold preflop. bet flop.
Don't bet 400 on turn.
I guess shove river once you get there.

Hand 2 raise preflop.
Bet flop.
Call turn c/r.
Probably bet flop in hand 3.
Turn is fine as played
Barf and call river hand 4.

Hand one fold pf.

As played pot the flop the overbet is ridiculous. As played shove turn?

Hand 2 raise to 60 or 80 pf, as played checking the flop in position is terrible, please bet 2/3 pot

As played turn bet is ok, but you can bet more here when you raise pre and follow throuh on the flop, as played shove over the r aise can be paying off so many hands that got to hit 2 pair for free on flop and turn

Hand 3: Bet the flop, as played you have to call the river but i would be check/calling there

[tessek07]

Thank you all for the responses so far. You all had good advice. After reading a few of your posts I came up with this.


Hand one: I think betting the pot on the flop is right as you all say. On the turn Maybe just push with my two pair. Rather than wait till river.

Hand two: Definitly PF raise to 100 as you all mentioned. On the flop bet 2/3 or even the pot. Another 200 or so bet on the turn should give me a real idea about what he has. Check/Raise river.

Hand 3: Consensus is call the river.
