1 - Guy was like 23/6/1.5 , I think should've raised the flop, but didn't want to scare the other guy who was 45/1

2- I always feel like a donk when I got AK and the hand goes like this one. Villian was 45/11 and I thought he could throw away whatever crap he had.

4- MP2 here is 60/0/0.8 , is the 2x raise at the end ok as he was just calling all the way or should I just call? My reasoning was that I had him beat and could win a side pot, I really didn't know about the shortie.

5- Guy was 20/8 I called river because the bets felt akward. He made them very quickly and I felt like they were too large, especially river's

6- This villian had already 3bet me twice at other tables he was 14/12/8. I felt he was playing back at me a lot at that moment so I was confident to put my money in with KK there

1hand to a post leads to better discussion,

donkmagic · #3 06-19-2007, 07:55 AM

i only read the first hand but why the [censored] did you fold to a 45/1?

bottomset · #4 06-19-2007, 07:59 AM

hand1: easy flop raise, you want money going in

turn is a joke?

hand2: don't like the flop raise

hand3: preflop is pretty meh, I like 3betting

flop raise is a little small, rest looks ok

hand4: I'd think about a flop raise

river I'd just shove instead of your weakraise

hand5: I'd just give up on the turn

hand6: looks fine

canarymofo · #5 06-19-2007, 08:19 AM

In hand 1 the guy who raises me on the turn is the 23/6 not the 45/1.

Yep, and now that you've explained which is which it makes the flop line pretty bad as well.

Erudito · #8 06-19-2007, 12:41 PM

I agree. Hand 1 fold is horrible. Playing scared money.

MarcusT · #9 06-19-2007, 01:51 PM

Hands 4 and 5 I fold on turn. Do you think it's weak?

Hand 6 I play the same and I guess villain made a flush.

Dennisa · #10 06-19-2007, 10:27 AM

I stack off almost 100% of the time with 2nd nut flush on a 3 flush board. It would have to be a mega nit to fold this hand.
