PL 5CD MTT: first hand

[THEjDonk]

greenage helped me sort out the error with the convertion of this hand. There was something about the line breaks in the hand history.

Here's the first hand of my first PL 5CD tournament. Is it ok to call with kings here against an unknown opponent?

Tournament: Pot Limit 5 Card Draw (10/20) (converter)

SB (1500), Seat 2
Hero (1500), Seat 3
UTG (1500), Seat 5
CO (1500), Seat 6
Button (1500), Seat 1

SB posts 10. Hero posts 20.

Hero is BB with [4c Kd 8h Kc Th]

Round 1: (30)

<font color="#666666">UTG folds. </font><font color="red">CO raises 40 to 60. </font><font color="#666666">Button folds. </font><font color="#666666">SB folds. </font><font color="green">Hero calls. </font>
Hero discards 4c 8h Th. CO takes 2.

Hero has [Kd Kc 7s Td 6s]

Round 2: (130)

<font color="green">Hero checks. </font><font color="green">CO checks. </font>

Pot: (130)

I think it's OK.

I agree. Even if you lost the hand, you learned whether this guy raises and falsecards to a pair w/kicker or if he raises with low trips, draws 2, and checks down.

After having read my own post, I realized that I'm getting better than 2:1 on the call [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]

I guess that's a pretty easy call, then. I'm not used to pot limit, but I realized that my opponent didn't pot it. After having put in the 20 for a call, he can raise another 50 I think. I suppose it's still a call if an unknown did that.

I'm trying to get used to the pot limit structure. In limit I normally call if I have a slightly better hand than my opponent's minimum raising requirement. I have to be a little tighter about calling pot sized raises, of course. I think I might call a raise from CO with queens in limit, but I suppose I should throw them away after a pot sized raise.
