i hadn't played limit in a looooooooong time when i sat down for some live 4/8 last night, and would welcome comments on the following plays. Most of the night we are 8-9 handed:
1.) LAG open raises on the button. He plays junk, but his raising standards seem to be decent. Old call station calls. I call in bb w/ [6d].
2.) Bad player limps utg. I limp mp w/ [Qh]. Folds to button, a good TAG, who raises. We both call.
Flop is K rag rag. utg bets. I raise. TAG calls. utg calls. Should i just give up now?
Turn is a blank. utg checks. I bet (???) . TAG raises, utg calls. I muck.
3.) Folds to me on the button w/ [4c]. I raise w/ 1 tight and loose player behind me. Loose guy in bb comes, and makes a joking/lighthearted comment that I'm "steaming from the last hand", where I made a bad play.
Flop is TT2, rainbow. He leads out. wtf. I call (???) b/c I think I have the best hand...
Turn is a T. He bets, I call (???).
River is a 4. He checks, I bet, he calls. He has AJ.
4.) I have [Ts] on the button. 5-handed, the flop and turn were checked thru. Final board is something like [6h][3d][Qd][Ac] (3rd diamond coming on turn). River checks to old call station from hand 1, who bets. I am next to act. If I raise, I'm 90% sure he'll call, so obvious raise? However, I just call. Everyone else folds, and I win when he shows [5c].
