Been having a bad month, wanted to post some hand examples to see if anyone can pick up on any patterns. Sorry, no reads. (Pokertracker coming soon) I'll number the hands for easy reference.

#1
check the flop its kinda small u have top pair weak kicker 5 outs if ur not current best hand so call a bet if u end up getting 1-9

rest i think is fine just i think T beat u

#2
PF good
Flop good got raised so might be behind
u can either call down the rest of this board or take a shot 3 betting the flop, not sure how this guy plays but based on turn looks like he was going for a c/r

id fold the river w/ 3 spades out, Q too, i just don't see how u may be ahead w/ the action of BB

#3
PF good
Flop id reraise call 3 bet
Turn C/C
River C/C

#4
PF good
Flop id have to go for C/R here if it gets checked through and next card comes id fold to any bet pot is small and too connected

#5
PF fold
Flop ur out of position go for C/R
Then Bet out on turn if it gets reraised fold

i only played 4 6 weeks so im sure most of this is wrong sorry [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

These answers are given on the premise that you don't have ANY reads. It assumes that fi is your average joe on small stakes.

Hand 1:
Typical trouble hand. C/c to the river if you get heads up - otherwise it might just be best to fold. You might try a c/r on the turn, but you should probably avoid that without any reads on fi.

Hand 2:
Played it right in my oppinion.

Hand 3:
Raise for value (and information) on the flop. Otherwise fine.

Hand 4:
Fine. He might have a red nine, but call it down. When a flush hits the board there's just too many players who try to bluff.

Hand 5:
Would actually fold preflop. The king is just too likely to be dominated. If i played it i would c/c it down.

Now start getting reads! How much does fi call and cold call preflop? What's his raising standards? Will he call and bet to the river if he hits any piece of the board? Is he a chronic bluffer when a flush hits the board?
