A few of my biggest losing hands.

wems · #1 08-01-2007, 07:22 PM

It seems that i lose most of my money who smooth call preflop with QQ-AA, and also people who hit trips on the flop or turn... Everytime this happens i seem to go broke,
any advice? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

i dont know much, but i feel that in hand number 2 if you are going to be calling a PSB on the flop you would be better off making the bet yourself. this way if he raises its an easy fold.

DaycareInferno · #3 08-02-2007, 02:58 AM

hand 1 i really don't like, because you're taking a super strong line with a medium/strong hand. that ensures that you're going to lose value against hands that you beat while still getting crushed by better hands.

I don't understand why you would reraise on the turn instead of the flop in the first hand? If you get reraised from that point on the flop, you're not so committed and you can make a fold. Stacking off with one pair to reraises on the turn is bad, especially when he's seen you raise pf.

Hand #1: I would put a raise in on the flop and propably fold to futher agression againts unknown.

Hand #2: I would B/F the flop. After hitting the A on turn I would go allin.

Hand #2 I dump AQ OOP to his 3B. Rest of hand is OK.

Hand #1 I wouldn't raise on such a dry flop. Turn is spew. Let him bluff.

Hand 1 : there is no draw at all on the flop, so he has a set/2pr or a lower A. He will fold on the turn with a lower A, so just flat call turn. If you do raise (which might be ok with his weak lead), then you need to fold to his push for sure.

Hand 2: I generally fold pf cuz we are OOP, but since we flopped an A in a rrz'd pot, I like the flop c/c and the turn check with intention of calling any bet at all. I'm not letting go of this. Other than calling pf, I like this hand a lot. If you lose to AK or a set, put it down to a bad beat, not bad play.

Hand 1: the time to raise is the flop, not the turn.
Hand 2: lay it down PF to his 3bet.

How do you only win 50% of the time with four of a kind?

You play bad.

Hand 2 is great, Ace is good in reraised pot, just look at WSOP ME final table, people find it hard to let go of KK.

Hand 1 atrocious. Fold because you only have one pair and it is not even that good. No one is putting that much in with any hand that you beat and it is not even close!
