Razz- I know I played this wrong but take a look and tell me why

[Murakawa]

As soon as I finished the hand I thought. Wait.... raise? Why didn't I do that? On fourth st I know it's okay, but A35 is a good draw and only a couple of my cards were dead far as I know. At least that was my reasoning. As you say I need to make up one big bet, but my math and razz thinking in Razz are'nt quite at that level yet.

4th street you can call if you expect the other guy to limp along - you need to make up one big bet between 3rd street and 4th street to have the correct pot size to do this (around 7 SB or implied odds that the villain will see 1 more street if he bricks 2x). If you don't start raising that river vs this opponent you need to quit, thats such an easy raise!

In short, I would call rather than raise on seventh because the opponent knows more about my hand (best I can have is 7) than I do about his (he could have wheel or six).

Considering who the opponent seems to be, I'd raise and cal a 3-bet - and STILL be a long term favorite. Does that make it easier to swallow? I wont raise vs an expert opponent who knows I am capable of folding to a 3-bet. I like to get value on my marginal raises [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Thanks for the further explanation.

Actually, you played this hand quite well in fact. Stick to this kind of play and you'll become a very good player.

Villian, he's agro and plays with bricks in the whole.

at a .50/1 table, just about everyone plays with bricks in the hole. but given you've noticed his tendency already, you're call on 4th is certainly justified (esp. since he hits a 5, of which only one is dead. Another story entirely if he hits the case A or something). your bet on 5th is good here, since you're probly way ahead and even if he is perfect in the hole you're only a small dog (p.s. given his possible hole cards, i don't know HOW he called here). River is trickier. Vs. a logical player, smooth calling is best since as Tricky says, he's got to put you an a 7 here and would rarely pay you off without having you beat. If you have seen this guys play enough tho, I would defintely raise, since there's no way he's laying it down on the river with anything short of playing a pair.

sounds like your only "mistake" was posting the results in your original post [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
