Played wrong or dry anally raped...?

[MVPSPORTS]

I don't mean these to be "bad beat" stories... These were my big losses for my GIGANTIC $3 win session, and I was wondering if I did anything wrong on any of them... Any advice, as long as it doesn't involve Escape and a cucumber, are appreciated...

There's a couple more... But that'll do for now...

[The Golden 1]

Hand 1: I may have capped the flop and tried to get a free turn if you missed, but you hit anyway, I would've played the same otherwise.

Hand 2: The check raise on the turn is kinda weird after the flop raise is kinda weird, i may have folded to the turn raise.

Hand 3: I expect to see a 7 most of the time but will not fold AA there to one more bet.

Hand 4: Raise the flop, bet the turn and he probably folds, you cost yourself there.

Hand 5: Raise the flop to eliminate to small blind or make him pay to draw out on you (or learn if he has you beat, as he probably caps it. I may fold that to a cap if the UTG calls. But you're gonna lose some money in that hand for sure.

Hand 6: Yeah that's weird playing, first off I'm raising that flop and if he 3 bets I probably go into call down mode hoping to hit a diamond.

[briachek]

please label your hands so it is easier to comment.

Hand 1 - I play the same

Hand 2 - I may or may not check behind on the turn as its quite possible he had just an oesd and you want to charge him but when he check raises you again, that's a clear sign you are beat unless you know this guy is willing to do that kind of bluff. I would check behind on turn and try to keep it cheap.

Hand 3 - I probably check behind on the river but I think I often lost value by doing so but the top card pairing is often really bad and checking behind would have worked in this case.

Hand 4 - Raise the flop, you have tptk, find out where you are and charge overcards. Part of the bb defense is check raising and betting, not calling him down.

Hand 5 - Once again, raise the flop. You did good 3 betting preflop and then you stop your aggression to one bet on the flop? RAISE and go from there

Hand 6 - raise the flop for information and likely for value. If he has the flush, you are likely drawing live for the flush. If he is drawing for the flush or has a lesser pair or kicker, you have to protect. Raise the flop, raise the turn if you aren't 3 bet on flop and river depends on what happened on previous streets.

Overall, i would have lost more on most of these hands but many times you will be ahead so in the long run, you are losing value playing these hands passively.

I would say 3 hands is the most I will respond to in one post.

[ihategnomes]

Dont posts results so we can give unbiased opinions. Reads help too.

Hand 1

Shit happens

Hand 2

If I was going to dump this, Id dump it the the check-raise turn card.

Hand 4

Raise the flop, lead the turn.

Hand 5

Ever raise? Its hard to tell where you stand when you never raise.

Hand 6

Raise the flop, if he 3 bets Im in check fold mode. If he calls then checks the turn, I bet/fold to the checkraise.

It seems to me you went on a heater, thinking the it was the easiest game to beat in the world. You started to get "varienced" and turned passive. Playing LHE passively is a great way to burn off money. Keep your head up and hit the raise button instead of the call button.

What a bunch of ball busters you guys are... I PROMISE I'll only post one or two hands at a time...

I agree that aggression is what lost me a few of these hands... It's funny, cause my aggression numbers are pretty good I think, and THESE are the hands I played passively.. Guess that should tell me somethin...

[EscapePlan9]

hahaha I saved myself $10! I knew you'd forget!

edit: You sly bastard. "I misunderstood the rules." Yeah yeah yeah, fine!
