50PLO AAxx SB

thisnamedoesntfi · #1 10-12-2007, 08:08 AM

I have no reads on main villain here, and no stats. I'm sitting with 50BB because I haven't really moved up to 50PLO, but I do play some FR games there when certain players are there. MP1 and Button are on my list. This is the second hand since I sat.

This is terrible IMO. You choose not to play the hand aggressively preflop, so when you don't connect with the board you have to fold the flop. Although the turn potentially helped your hand a lot.

I obviously raise this hand 95% of the time , but doing so in the SB says "look at me!!! I have AAxx". I just chose to limp with it this time, mixing up my play, as I often try to do.

There's nothing wrong with limping it, but you have to fold the flop when you don't connect. c/r here more or less amounts to a bluff, because you don't have a strong hand. Your play looks like some kind of inability to fold a good starting hand.

Not raising pf seems kind of really bad when you're playing with half a stack no?

wow, raise preflop and wtf are you doing on the flop

this hurts my eyes..

i would reopen the betting with a mini raise here and i would be doing it with more hands than AAxx, so it dosent always scream AAxx. as played i just fold the flop - its a FR game and you havent connected in any meaningfull way with the board - you could actually be drawing to 1 out here

converter is broken, it looks like you are button? I don't mind limping this in SB but not in order to stack off on all kinds of silly flops.

I definitely got out of my standard line here from the start. I went for the donk bluff on the flop, then value bet the turn. Looks like I succeeded in creating the image I was looking for.

Thanks for the responses.

Case Q came on the river giving villain Q's full of 8's. I'll post results when I can get converter page to load properly.
