PP 200NL - First time ever playing

Big TR · #1 03-18-2006, 03:53 PM

Good afternoon, I decided to move up from my normal $50 and $100 to try $200 for kicks. This is about 10 hands into my first session. (I had already taken a $100 pot with trip queens) Therefore, no reads. Comments? I overbet the pot on the flop to make Villian think I was on the draw and wanted him to go away.

Do you think I walked into a trap, or played this well when bricks showed up on the turn and river?

All is well here... Maybe betting slightly less on the turn looks more callable, but no worries. Obviously you get it in with top two.

My initial bet on the flop would be higher probably 10.

I probably bet slightly less on the turn, other than that it looks just fine.

BTW, nowhere in this hand did you overbet the pot.

If you go 70-75 on turn, then the river bot is 240-250, and you only have 90-100 left anyway.

Man, did that guy overplay his hand or what!!?! With no reads, you seem over-aggressive. Against a maniac, all is well, but no sane pokerplayer should call that turn bet with TPMK (meaning you're only gonna get called by 77).

I'd sooner make it 2/3 on the turn and slightly under 1/2 on the river. That's much more callable with KQ / K7.

as played, shove turn

All comments were appreciated.

I wasn't too concerned with a set of 7's. I figured nobody would min-raise this on the flop. I figured I was up against a K with a high kicker. Luckily for me I was right and he showed KhTh and mhig.

As UTG+1 would anyone of called/raised PF?

How would you have played it during all the streets?

To the person who said no one should call turn pot+ size: Would you of called the PS raise on flop?
