Sanity Check - Hand 2 AJo vs. suited trash
As I've mentioned before, I've gone on quite a downswing over the last 1,500 - 1,700 hands. It's due to quite a few of these hands. Is this pretty standard? I typically don't show the results of a hand, but I just want to know I'm playing good poker. I'm trying not to be results oriented, but these types of hands make it very difficult.
Villain is 73/15/2 and sucks at poker. He was bragging to the table about how he loses money online, but makes money playing live at the casino. Comments and criticisms are welcome...don't tell me not to post the results...like I said before, I typically don't post the results, but I just need a sanity check to make sure I'm not playing like a donk. Ultimate Bet No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.01./$0.02. 5 players Converter Stack sizes: Hero: $1.82 CO: $1.46 Button: $3.76 SB: $0.88 BB: $0.95 Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is UTG with J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.07</font>, 2 folds, SB calls, BB calls. Flop: 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($0.21, 3 players) SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets $0.08</font>, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $0.45</font>, SB folds, BB calls. I figured the BB was on a draw here so I popped him. If he had a set he would have (should have): A) Potted the flop B) shoved over top of my raise He did neither so I put him on a draw after he called me. Turn: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($1.11, 2 players) BB checks, <font color="#cc0000">Hero bets $1.11</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB calls all-in $0.43</font>. Uncalled bets: $0.68 returned to Hero. I shoved putting him on a diamond draw. I figured on the slim chance he had a set, then good for him (he can have my money). I'm not folding top two pair to someone who plays 73% of his hands. River: 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($1.97, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $1.97) Results: Final pot: $1.97 <font color="#ffffff">Hero shows Jh Ad</font> <font color="#ffffff">BB shows Qd 5d</font> |

Of course you played it correctly, this is very standard. It was a bad-beat, that's it. You don't have to doubt how you played a certain hand EVERY TIME you get beat... you played the hand as anyone should have.

Re: Sanity Check - Hand 2 AJo vs. suited trash
No. I didn't even consider that. Are we talking stack to pot size ratio here? If so, I haven't read the book yet. Apparently I should have posted this in the BBV for Life forum LOL [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

It's fine. With effective stacks that are only 4x the pot on the flop, you're basically committed once you catch TPTK.
