uNL Hand Reading Practice

[z28dreams]

Wow, I really nailed this pretty good.

The only 2 I was off on were the Ah2h that backed into a flush draw ( though it does make sense, and it was a slightly loose PFR UTG ).

The other hand I have a question on:

Hand #7 the board is 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] with 2 flush draws. Villain leads into you, and you just flat call with JJ here.

Could you elaborate on why you don't raise here?

I guess I'm just always worried about the draws catching up - and in this case, there are a lot of them. Of course, they'll probably end up calling our raise anyway.

Grunch

Hand 1: AQ, 77, perhaps AKhh. I don't see many other combo draws playing the turn aggressively.

Hand 2: 44, 55, mayyybe AA. I don't see you flat calling with 68dd or any non paired 3 pre. Also, I don't think that you play 66 that aggressively on the turn.

Hand 3: AQ, KQ

Hand 4: KQ is really the only line I can see you taking a pot control line on the turn with and betting for value on the river.

Hand 5: A set, AJ, or 78dd, 67dd, 79dd, KQdd.

Hand 6: Most likely hand is 66. I don't think that you are betting anything less than a straight for value on the river, and hands that you limp behind on the flop (suited connectors, mid pairs) aren't raising the flop and value betting the river.

Hand 7: Likely an overpair.

Hand 8: 66-99

Hand 9: Set it and forget it, possibly QJ.

Hand 10: Im going to say 88, maybe a set.

Hand 11: KQ, AQss, 66 or 33

Hand 12: Some one pair type hand, prolly AK

This is a concept that is true in limit where it is correct to protect your hand. However, in NL, you should focus on protecting your stack.

Hate trying to read hero, would rather read villan - Then we have cards to help us [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]


Hand 1
Turn: Weakest is prob AhKh or AcKc, strongest is AA. Total range is A7/AQ/A9/77/99/QQ/AA and other strong hands i've missed.




Hand 2
23 seems unlikly. Looks like 44/55mainly, perhaps you calls A4s/A3s but i doubt it.


hand 3
Hmmm... Looks like you may have Qx, perhaps QJ and you call after looking weak. AQ seems more likly though [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

hand 4
Line looks wierd here again, 44 that improves or you hit a BDFD, not sure you'd do this with QJ hand but perhaps.
so 44/BDFD i think, unless youve got AhTh and youre getting fancy :|


Hand 5
JJ/77/AA - In that order, perhaps AJ but less likly same applies to QdTd all unlikly.


Hand 6
Quite a wide range with the limp behind from 66/88/TT/T8s/68s/79s not in any specific order.

hand 7
Wider range, but mainly things like 99/TT/JJ/A8 perhaps.


Bored now gonna play, bbl

[critikal]

Tried to be more specific when I thought I could.

hand 1-AA, QQ, 77, 99, AQ
hand 2-44,55
hand 3-KQ, one heart
hand 4-AK, AJ
hand 5-77,JJ
hand 6-not really sure what you're trying to represent here. I'd guess something like 89s with a pair and a gutshot?
hand 7-77, 99,TT,89
hand 8- 55-99
hand 9-AQh, AJh, JJ, 66, 55
hand 10-78,89,A8
hand 11-66,33
hand 12-AT, JT, KT, JJ-QQ
