Some background, I am normally a $1 player but a friend staked me in this tourney and it was my first cash at a buyin above $5. It was a turbo format and I don't feel my play was anything special, so any comments would be helpful even if you thought I played the hand fine, please let me know so I don't over adjust.

Also, middle/late game play is not terrible strong either, please let me know if I missed any good spots to shove on the hands I didn't play, rather then just watching the hands I did play.

Cheers, Cleverbeans

52. A small raise with AA is often a tell, but no need to raise this much. You could also limp behind.
71. With this hand and stack size, I like a check or push better than the raise.
74. Just cbet/fold the ace high flop.
105. You might check the straight. A flush draw will probably bet.
106. You could also open push preflop.
114. I would push preflop.

20 and 21: I like a turn bet in both

22: good fold, in case you were wondering

34: why so much preflop? make it 250 and you'll be able to shove over a flop donk, as is you don't have enough

47: lol, guy raises >50% of his chips, but the 300 from the caller makes the pot juicy. good shove, I think.

71: ni han suh, maybe raise less preflop.

74: good flop check, imo. On the turn you are giving him like 5-1, which could be good if you are sure that you can bluff him on the river, but I don't think you can know that. Nothing wrong with folding preflop, either.

edit: agree with betgo about the shoves on the later hands. Obv 71 and 74 are the most questionable.

47. Nice hand, but I think this is a fold.

To explain hand 71, I felt I had a very good read to make that move, and had been planning it for some time. He had limped into a lot of pots, and shown down some very weak hands. The open ended straight draw was good enough for me to make the semi-bluff and I knew he could make the laydown.

Even with that dead money in there?

Bond, are you still accepting HHs? How do I go about sending one? (sorry, I know you've probably been asked this a thousand times)

Dead money? Do you mean the blinds or do you think you can isolate?

Kimbell175113 · #9 09-15-2007, 10:33 PM

Isolate, yeah. The call of the 300 seems real fishy and bad, and I think he has a worse hand quite often. I may be biased by the results, though.

Hand 2: Why have you folded 88 here?

Hand 47: This is a fold for me two - villain is shortstacked and bets half his stack, gets a call and A9 is not a strong enough hand to shove here - you have no FE.

Hand 52: why do you raise so strong with AA?

Hand 68 and Hand 74: Why do you fold 44 in CO-1 but raise 33 in CO. Still Hand 74: Don't you think that c-betting the flop is better than a check and then c/r the turn?
