Default Razz-caution or coward?

Ever since I went broke and had to reload, I think I've gotten awfully wimpy. I used to be too aggro, I think. Not sure if I went too far the other way or am being reasonably cautious. Need to be yelled at by better players, please. I just sat down at this table and never saw these players before.

Razz ($0.50/$1.00), Ante $0.05, Bring-In $0.25 (converter)

you probably went broke from your consistently poor 4th street calls and the compounding effects thereof

Hand #1 was that really a bad call on 4th? Now on 5th when you are drawing to an 8 and he looks to have a made 8 and drawing to a 7 I can understand the fold.

Fold hand 1 on 4th. He called your early position raise, so he probably has good cards. The 7 probably didn't pair him, since there is a 7 out and he probably started with better cards than that.

4th in the 1st hand seems pretty bad to me

[/ QUOTE ]LOL! I actually went broke from my A23s being followed by 4KK and the compounding effects of tilt, thereafter!

As to all the 4th st commentary - if was playing 5/10 I'd have folded the brick. Or even 1/2, most likely. But at .50/1 on Stars - even not knowing the players - it's about 50/50 they have a brick in the hole. HU I always call unless I know the player. So, I agree with everyone, but not in this situation.

[/ QUOTE ] I didn't fold. I thought my play was bad because I either didn't bet or didn't raise. There was never any chance of me folding at this limit in this spot.

At this limit you're giving the villain far too much credit. If the 7 was an overcard to his starting hand, 90% of the time he would have raised on 3rd to begin with. Also, where's the plug for prax limping with a monster on 3rd st?

Fold 4th on the first hand if you like to be loose. A call on 4th means you are hoping for him to brick 5th, so it's a definite fold on 5th when he catches again unless you have a read that he paired. If you have a read there then the line you took is fine.

Hand 2 is fine, check the river.

IMO, bet the river in the 2nd hand.

Almost certainly, he did not have a made 7-5 on 6th street. If he had 7-4-3-2 (or better) on 4th street, that's pretty much an automatic bet even against scary two-card boards. (Even if he's reraised, he's not that far behind, and 5s and 6s are very live.)

Maybe he had a made 7-6 on 6th street; checking 7-6-4-3 on 4th street might be reasonable looking at those boards. But if he had that, or a worse hand, you're good unless he rivered the win.

He's almost never going for a check/raise on the river. You check/called 6th street; the chance that you actually bet the river is pretty small.

Bet/call the river after he checks to you. If he does check raise, he's doing it with a smooth 8 or a 7-6 or with total air often enough to call him.

Thank you. And would you raise the river on the first hand?
