cold calls AJo but what? Ha!

You're going to get sick of hearing this, but: RAISE PREFLOP.

As played, i check/fold every street.

Maybe, maybe not. BB could easily have a weak A.

But, I dont think that you did too much wrong by representing top pair.

My comment is 7-tabling seems pretty impressive. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

How do you get all those tables on your screen ? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I am near conversion on this raising preflop thing.

Fantam · #5 01-22-2006, 09:26 PM

Correct me if I am wrong, but UTG was a tight player. In which case there was nothing wrong with limping in pf.

Need to raise this hand preflop.

Reasons to raise:

- a read over 14 hands is kind of useless, but every other time this guy has come into a hand, he's raised. His limp thus suggests an marginal hand (small PP, suited connectors, etc.). Raise to isolate, and because it looks like he's weak and will give up if he misses (even if we miss too).

- it's hard enough to play KQo from EP without worrying about a huge field limping along behind us.

- raising is more fun and makes postflop a lot easier.

i give up on the turn [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and fold to a river bet unless the guy is a chronic bluffer.

BB had ATo so I didn't stand much chance!

I think the turn bet was questionable.

This hand would have gone down a lot smoother with a preflop raise. Flop bet is ok, but bb may be a calling station. If he is then you're not really gaining anything here. I would definitely give up by the turn. Raise pf next time.
