I broke even in the session, but I feel like I saved myself a buyin by playing the AK hand pretty safely, and my opponent playing it very weakly. If he leads the flop, I'm probably forced into going broke. It's about 15 minutes into the video.

In the 88 hand, I wanted to get the money in on the flop before it became a lot more scarier for an overpair to continue.. or hell even me to continue. He claims to have folded QQ, but I don't know whether to believe that or not.

why didnt you think you should raise KQs with 4 limpers?

also need to raise AQo a few hands later

more later

Shibby · #3 03-17-2006, 09:16 PM

As soon as I called on the button, I realized that I should have raised. I get squeamish when I think about raising KQ over limpers, even though it was only one at the time.

I also don't think highly of raising AQ out of the SB.

3-handed AQ is a very strong hand, i don't think it matters being OOP

jmillerdls · #5 03-17-2006, 09:43 PM

I personally disagree..I think being OOP ALWAYS matters.

Shibby · #6 03-17-2006, 09:45 PM

I think it matters as well, but in the situation he's referring to, he's right, I should have raised pf.

KQs on the button with just 1 limper 4-handed, raise this. After the flop it's checked to you, no reason to believe anyone like this hand, throw in a PSB.

KJo in the BB, you need to raise this. So far the table is looking very passive. Even if it wasn't, SB completing and you holding KJ is a raise.

AQo in the SB, button limps, raise raise raise!

AKo, i like the way you played this.

KJs in the SB, i'd call that raise.

A50, raise 4x BB. Then bet the pot on the flop.

58o in the SB, why call on the turn and fold on the river?

89o OTB nice raise.

42s, i'd fold that myself. Checked to you, you've hit a nice flop, why not bet?

Full 6-max table now, i don't like that raise with 57s.

QTo, I probably would've cb'd that flop.

Unlucky with 88, you played it right though. "AJ"!

Thanks for making a video.

I agree with most of what was said.

I was especially happy with the river check with AK. I gave a second of pause as to whether or not to call with KJs, it's just dominated way to much for me to feel great about hitting anything, save a flush or straight.

I folded the 58 on the river cause I thought he might have been betting a pair+wheel draw on the turn, his overbet let me off the hook.

I love the raise with 75s!

Also, just making these videos makes me feel like I'm playing better since I know that people are going to be seeing this and critiquing the [censored] out of me.
