early in $25 turbo on PS, comments on play

newcool · #1 11-15-2007, 04:30 AM

Around 20 hands into a $25 turbo. Table has been tight and I have only played around 4 hands. I decide to mix it up a little and take the blinds.

All comments would be appreciated.

Thanks

Not a fan, fold.

If you are going to get out of line, at least pick a hand with a little more post flop value. Like JTs, or J9s. J3s is just garbage.

As played, I'd shove flop and pray I guess.

There was a post recently on bluffing in STTs which I think this fits into pretty well. You are doing this readless and just because you feel like it, and is the type of bluffing that IMO should never happen in STTs. If it is based on reads/opponents tendecies/etc then maybe you can find some spots for it.

As played I guess shove flop, and with the flop check you have to get in on this turn.

What devin said and also if you where opening here it might not be too bad but over an an EP limper i think its just plain stupid.
