NL25 A couple of hands from last session

[kris_p]

During my last session I couldnt really tell whether I was making the right decisions or just playing badly.

So I cut it short and decided to try and look at some of the more awkward hands.
The ones I cant decide whether i did the right thing are below, any comments on them would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

On the 25 or so hands I had on UTG he was running at 6/3/0. Not many hands, but its better than nothing.

Post 1 hand per thread please.

Hand 1 is a call usually, unless you have a read otherwise.

Hand 2 Raise 1.25 preflop, Bet the pot on the flop, I probably call the all in. I hear villain saying. "That ace didn't hit you and I'm gonna push you out of the pot." Plus you made a half pot bet which says "I am bluffing."

Hand 3 is a check, and a check/fold on the river if you don't improve to a FH

I recomment raising 4xbb + 1bb per limper preflop.

[LearningCurve]

Hand1: Fold as a limp/raise is almost always AA or KK.

Hand2: Fold. Your weak flop bet told him you didn't have an A. It's possible that he is just trying to push you around, but because of how we played the flop and the fact that any old A beats us, I'm folding and moving on to the next hand.

Hand3: ICK! Boards like that are frustrating when you have a set. I'd check turn as you are drawing slim now to any [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Frankly even if you hit a FH on the river there is little likelihood that you are you are going to be able to extract anything. Bummer...

Hand 1: Im leaning towards a fold. A player with those stats isnt doing this with any hands were dominating, and I think AA and KK are definitely large parts of his range (maybe QQ+ and AK?)

Hand 2: Easy fold. Just think about what youre doing if you call here. A read would be nice.

Hand 3: Easy check. Hope to boat on the river. The good news is that if the SB is just on top pair no flush, theres a good chance hell let us check the river through as well.

[Ryanj37]

Hand 1: Call because its a short stack, otherwise this would be a fold.

[jetsetboy]

Hand 1: Never ever fold AK for less than 40bb preflop except without a HUGE read (something like 10k hands against vilain, he is 6/3/0 AND I have seen him flat call with AK and when he rr he always had AA/KK).

Hand 2: I think it's a fold but it might be different at NL25

Hand 3: Check behind and hope for the board to pair. A bet here would be turning ur hand into a bluff. I don't mind a PSB on the river UI if SB check again AND u actually seen him fold before. Providing no read no bet and call nothing more than 1/3 PSB on river if UI.

Hand 1
Preflop I would raise to 1.25 and I would call this short-stack. I have
seen shorties doing it with any pair 77+.

Hand 2
Again raise more preflop and bet more flop. I would fold it.

Hand 3
Refill your stack. I would check.

Thanks for the responses [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Sorry for putting 3 hands in one thread, didn't realise I wasn't meant to.

Well I called the first one, was KK.
Folded the second and checked the third.
