Help me get my groooove back (some 5/10 hands)

Moonshine · #1 05-31-2007, 02:18 PM

I've been a little spew-happy lately and haven't worked on my game in a while.

Hand 1: Vs enoball, pretty good TAG. I don't think he has any reads on me.

Good card to fire at again right? How much?

Hand 3: Vs. Andy Pandy, 3 handed. He's been raising a ton. I've been playing back a lot but not an excessive amount so he's kind of been having his way with me.

I think I'm good a lot on the turn when he has air but that he's also bet/folding a lot of hands on this board

Novles · #2 05-31-2007, 02:41 PM

Hand 1 I'd just fold the flop. Don't like any other options - c/r just looks like air on this board and will often get floated/3-bet. I'm not sure I understand your call though. What was your plan on a blank turn? And I'd just call the river. I don't see a better hand ever folding here. Unless it's for value from a jack. I'm confused.

Hand 2 psb left? if you're gonna fire, gotta shove, right?

Hand 3 I call. 3 handed, blind battle, he's been running you over, etc. I might bet more on the flop though.

Hand 4 What hands that beat you are bet/folding that turn? What strong hands would you play this way?

cts · #3 05-31-2007, 02:43 PM

what happened to the Sir ?

Jay. · #4 05-31-2007, 02:52 PM

Hand 1.

I like the float, i'd lead the turn though, i think thats a must. The river i don't like, i'm sure he's struggling to put you on a hand.

Hand 2.

If you're completely unknown to him i'd bet 400.

Hand 3.

I drop.

Hand 4.

I don't know this guy, but i don't think he's betfolding much you beat.

i just like the less formal, more affectionate "moonshine"

Moonshine · #6 05-31-2007, 02:57 PM

Jay, you wouldn't bet/fold AJ against an unknown there?

you're right though that it's certainly not "a lot" of hands...i only have to take the pot down a little over half the time with the raise to be profitable though, is that unreasonable here?

jfish · #7 05-31-2007, 03:08 PM

1: flop float is decent, maybe even good. turn play is good. river is very spewy. c/c or c/f. there are no other options here. he is defnitely not folding Ax ever given your line and there is a chance you are good.

2: shoving is fine.

3: i cant see folding.

4: i like a flop raise more.

aw, stop greg, you're hurting my feelings

good2cu · #10 05-31-2007, 04:52 PM

I'm totally lost on hand #1. Can you explain your reasoning Moonshine? I think you're either good here or villian has an ace and is going to call you since it's extremely diffcult to put you on a hand. How many 2s do you defend with? After re-reading this hand I think I fold againest enoball's. Vs most people i'd c/c here.

I'd bet like 400 I think on hand #2 unless this commits you? I'm too lazy to do the math but if it commits you I'd probaly just shove. Otherwise bet/fold. I think betting 400 here looks stronger then a shove.

Hand #3 is totally flow/read based. Will he ever shove KQ no clubs here? Can't really comment without knowing the flow or villian.

Hand #4 - I much perfer a flop raise. After he bets this turn I doubt he is folding all that much.
