By vitobiggs on 05-13-2008 11:19 PM

Only been at the table for 28 hands, still getting a feel for everyone...

Seat 7: xjoecx didn't bet (folded)

I assumed utg raiser had a good range, and couldn't justify calling that much of my stack when I could be in bad shape after the repop.  Any thoughts...?

 

On this one, I thought he could be trying to take it with a smaller pair, but obv value after the fact.  How would you have played this?

I think the call in the 2nd one is bad. He wouldn't bet a T, and it's too small a bet to be a bluff, so I think you can fold. I think you can shove the first one due to having a lot of fold equity, and likely being in a race. I don't play cash ever though so I don't feel as strongly on the ak hand.

i think fold in first hand is a good idea. second hand, fold.

The first hand, in all reality, you should have open pushed preflop.

 

Your going to win 135$ if, and mostly likely, they both fold...that's ~25% profit on your 500$

 I say this cause what can either call you with? AA KK QQ AK?

slim chance either has AK KK AA. If you had a 200bb stack I say fold.

 

The second hand, 1st mistake was opening for a crappy $30 bet...come on look how many callers you got....I can't see how you made a Cbet with 3 callers going with you to the flop here...3 hands = 6 cards some1 is playing an A. Check-fold mode on the flop in this situation..unless you turn a J.

But how you played it you cant call the river bet...it's TOO likely he has a A-x in his calling range preflop for 30$

I appreciate the input, I try to keep my all my raises consistent no matter what I have so people have trouble defining my range.  Obv played both bad after review.

 

Thanks for the responses
