$225 - Hand reading is fun

[microbet]

I haven't been playing STTs, but since hand reading is fun, I played one to get some hands for posting. Here are all two of the hands that went to showdown before I went busto.


Hand 1.

On the first hand someone like C0-2 raised to 5bbs and the guy who is UTG in the hand below reraised to 550 from the button. Otherwise, he's been quiet. MP2 is loose. I'm not sure I knew how loose this early, but he's loose.

Hand 2.

I think this is the CO's first raise. He was in an earlier pot where he called a button raise from the big blind and called bets on flop and turn and then he lead the river and won it.

BB in this hand kept his stack up by open limping preflop from late position and then betting 250 into a pot of 75. He's a moron and I hate him (see hand below).

Everyone should grunch this. What are your thoughts on ranges?

[AMT]

i had a bit of trouble following this...all same villains?

[KPL]

99+,AQs+?

[Shillx]

AA,KK,QQ,JJ,AKs,TT,AKo,99,AQs,88,AQo,AJs,AJo ??

[Myst]

Hand 1: UTG had Ah Kx. MP2 had 77 or 33.

Hand 2: CO had AT+. BB had any two.

Hand 3: MP2 had 22+, A7+, KT+, QT+. You probably reraised with 88+, AJs+, AQo+

Not all same villians. One of the dudes in hand 2 is in hand 3. I folded preflop in hands 1 and 2, so there is no Hero in those.

I mean for all three hands, for each player. Which are you talking about?

Are you just talking about my hand in the last hand? If so, that's a good range. Also, that question is really too easy. I mean all the other hands too.

Everyone,

C'mon dudes! People are interested in hand reading, let's practice without the answers in front of us.

Thanks for responding the way I intended. I'll get back with the answers tomorrow. Hopefully more people will play.

Hand 1:

UTG: Looks like he has Ah, maybe in the form of AhAx, but also possibly AhKx or AhQx. I imagine the thought process went: "c-bet, call with a draw and good odds, bet river, call push obv". I discount the possibility that he could have a boat b/c 33, 66, and 77 all seems a little loose to be raising 4xBB with from UTG. So unless he lucked out w/ JJ... but even then I'm not sure he plays the turn like that.

MP2: The fact that he's loose obviously widens his range. In general, I'd say his overall "line" looks a lot like he also made a flush, or perhaps even a boat although again, the call on the flop + the weak turn bet makes me think it isn't a flopped set, 2 pr, etc. MP2's line actually looks a lot like a (poorly executed) bluff to me, so I'm gonna say either air or a turned flush with something like KXs.


Hand 2:

LOL.

CO: I was originally going to say 99-JJ b/c maybe a nit would play them like that on this board. But I think AK is a more likely hand. Idk, I wouldn't play a pair or AK like this, but maybe some people would. Final guess is AK.

BB: I have no clue. I'll go with something ridiculous like AA just to be fun. You did say he was a moran. AA or maybe 56. I have a feeling about those for some reason.

Heh, I mean in general, it's hard for me to put them on very exact hands since they checked down every street, but I guess that's the point. I'll be really interested to see what people say about this one.

edit - Haha, ok I just read that you wanted ranges (put that at the top next time, I supergrunched this). CO has probably a pretty tight range here, something like AT+, KQ, maybe KJ but I think it's a stretch, maybe any pair but possibly something more like 66/77+. BB has 2 cards.


Hand 3:

MP2: He's a moran so he probably has a wide range here. Like 2-face-card wide, or maybe even suited connector wide.

You: I'd need a pretty big hand to push over a really bad player b/c they rarely fold pretty cards. So I'm gonna guess AK for you and just to be fun, I'll guess villain had QJ.
