A read on an opponent can be just as valuable as your position. [/ QUOTE ] Case in point. I could never have done this without a read. Bonus: I got called a donkey for the first time ever.

I think this is a pretty horribly played hand and definitely not worth it. Also if you're going to bluff the turn, raise 3x at least lolz. |

[ QUOTE ] [ QUOTE ] I would never make a floating play like this on the flop at such an early level. [/ QUOTE ] 1. Well I would, and did. I take risks. I'd rather take my risks early than late. I have a lot of weaknesses at this stage in my poker "career" (beginner). I don't know all the +EV plays, I don't have stats on people or even myself. But I know I can read people. I read betting patterns, the time it takes someone to bet, past behavior, etc... 2. When villain bet the flop, I knew he didn't have a Jack. I figured he had a two. If I didn't get the king on the river I would have bet. As it stood, I figured I'd just showdown my king and win. [ QUOTE ] I think this is a pretty horribly played hand and definitely not worth it. [/ QUOTE ] 1. Definitely worth it - in terms of table image. 2. Villain was on tilt for the rest of his short time in the game. 3. I won the SNG. Here's another "read" hand that I'm sure you'll find equally horrible. Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20 (6 handed) Hand History converter Courtesy of PokerZion.com MP (t1500) CO (t1500) Button (t1500) SB (t1500) BB (t1500) Hero (t1500) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 6[[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]], 6[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]]. Hero calls t20, MP calls t20, CO calls t20, Button raises to t40</font>, SB calls t30, BB calls t20, Hero calls t20, MP folds, CO folds. Flop: (t200) 9[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]], 3[[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]], 8[[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] (4 players) SB checks, BB checks, Hero bets t50, Button calls t50, SB folds, BB folds. Turn: (t300) 3[[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]](2 players) Hero checks, Button bets t160, Hero calls t160. River: (t620) 8[[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] (2 players) Hero checks, Button bets t620, Hero calls t620. Final Pot: t1860 Results in white below: Button has 7c As (two pair, eights and threes). Hero has 6h 6d (two pair, eights and sixes). Outcome: Hero wins t1860. |
