Two Hands, Please Tell me I did something Wrong

I raised with AQs because the raise was 50/20/2 and the callers loose passives

Seams to me that Party Poker is doing a lot of hands like this month, I lost 300 dollars in 5 days and I really wanna know if it's bad play or variance

I prefer to belive that I'm doing something wrong because this variance is killing me

In the first hand I'd call preflop and play the rest the same way.
In the second hand I don't see a reason not to bet the river. There is the possible straight but villain mustn't have the straight. I'd bet and call a raise.

Maxinho · #3 08-30-2007, 09:04 AM

he had JJ, if the thought I had a bigger pair why he can't fold? I'm felling sick

You could probably fold river on hand 1 after button raises. On hand 2, we don't have a read on villain, but bet/folding seems a reasonable option if he's loose passive.

There doesn't look like too much opportunity to lose too much less money on these hands. That said, a 300BB doewnswing is a nasty one and you probably have some issues in your play. Did you sign up for a session review?

Maxinho · #5 08-30-2007, 09:18 AM

No But I want, man I know that are some hands that I fuckedup, but I'm having a lot of bad beats like this, 100 bucks was playing NL, that I don't know how to play, but 200 Big Bets, I Don't know how to stop this, like everytime I lost with AA against 72 dude, he made 2 pair on the river on a board KT732
this is can't be happening

CrMenace · #6 08-30-2007, 09:22 AM

OK, I've PM'd you. I'll look at some of your sessions if you can get them to me fast.

Aaron W. · #7 08-30-2007, 01:06 PM

I really want to fold the river on #1. J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is a likely card for him to be holding and you lose to a number of miscellaneous two pair hands.

Bet the river in #2. Probably fold to a raise.

boss · #8 08-30-2007, 01:16 PM

both hands played fine
hand1: possibly the river could be folded after MP1. your hand is never good here imo with one player left to act. when MP1 folds guess you can call.
2: perfect. i prefer c/c to bet/fold as i struggle to find a fold. chance of bluff is too high

These are both exactly how I'd play them at 0.50/1. You get sucked out on sometimes. Oh well.

You will win these way, way more often than you'll lose.

Fold to the raise in hand 1

hand two is [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
