HAND 17: why did you shove instead of flat calling OOP, or making a standard raise?

HAND 17: why did you shove instead of flat calling OOP, or making a standard raise?

[/ QUOTE ]
I could make a smaller reraise or flat call with QQ. The push was not that much of an overbet and is pretty much the same as a smaller reraise. I don't mind if villain folds and 77-JJ generally calls.

KingDan · #4 01-27-2007, 07:31 PM

you should really cut out the "fluff" IMO
You raised took down the blinds... just taking up space.

Anyway, more PF in hand one if you decide not to raise the first time.

6) PF is kinda shaky but WE... I'd also stick it in on the flop also doesn't matter all that much

7) Fold pf

Wow these are really boring.

17 is obv fine (as are some others) but I'm not pushing any of my range there. Pushing is not the best play there but not OMG bad.

Here is the summary Travel Channel / ESPN version where I eliminate some hands with little action. Still, some are pretty obvious, but I thought it was interesting to give the whole picture.

1. I know the limpreraise has the danger of giving away my hand, although I might try this without a big pair. Atleast I didn’t get stacked.

Hand 1 You should bet the turn. In this spot he had a set but checking there loses a lot of value.
Hand 4.
Bet the flop and if your betting the turn make it like 180-200.

Hand 1 You should bet the turn. In this spot he had a set but checking there loses a lot of value.
Hand 4.
Bet the flop and if your betting the turn make it like 180-200.

I was proceeding cautiously in Hand 1, because I figured villain knew it was likely I had a big pair and I thought he had a small or medium pp.

Hand 4. I was also proceding cautiously because of the dangerous board. by the turn I was pretty sure I was ahead and was value betting.
