These hands happen almost immediatly after one another, only one hand between them.
Hand #1
My stack ~$300
Raiser ~$20
Villain ~$360
[Qc][5h][2s] in MP, the first three players limp and I limp behind.
This is a pretty crap hand but I'll play KK and QQ with no sidecards for set value if I can get in cheap.
Guy behind me raises to $6, both blinds call and two of the limpers and it is back to me.
Normally I would fold here but I am closing the betting and it is going to be 6-way if I call.
Flop comes [9c][Qs]
Checked to the guy infront of me who pots it for $37. Raiser behind me has $14 left.
I flat call. Raiser calls all-in, everyone else gets out.
Turn is the
Villain checks, I bet $45, villain thinks forever and calls.
River is
Villain checks, I bet $110
I call on the turn wanting to see a good card before I committ. I figure villain for either a big draw or 99. I don't want to raise and get it all-in against something like [Js][Tc][8c] when we are so deep. Good or bad? Flop is obviously the main issue but comments on other streets are fine too.
Hand #2
I've got [Qs][9c][7s] under the gun. Hey, QQ treated me alright just a few seconds ago and these look much nicer. There are four players at the table with more than 200bb, I have them all covered.
I limp. 4 more limpers, then a guy with a bit over $200 raises to $8 out of the SB. He was not involved last hand, I figure he has AA since he's raising out of the blinds.
I call as does another limper in LP. 3 to the flop.
Flop comes [Qh][Jd] Hey, it's deja vú all over again.
Raiser bets out $28. I think for a while and pot it to $130, limper gets out. Raiser thinks for a few seconds and goes all-in. I type "AA + flush draw?" and call.
I figured since I *didn't* raise my top set last time I should do it now. If he's paying attention he might well put me on a draw now.Statistics: Posted by Stoneburg — Fri Jul 13, 2007 11:05 am
