I've been watching CardRunner videos the past month, so I've been a lot more aggressive with my game lately (I'm 29/21 my last 2000 hands at 6 max). So I have been open raising all of my pocket pairs.
(My thoughts below)
Full Tilt Poker
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
6 players
Stack sizes:
HERO: $99
UTG+1: $129.05
CO: $100
Button: $60.10
SB: $49.20
BB: $24
Pre-flop: (6 players) HERO is UTG with
HERO raises to $4.5, UTG+1 folds, CO calls, 3 folds.
Flop: ($10.5, 2 players)
HERO bets $7.5, CO calls.
Turn: ($25.5, 2 players)
HERO checks, CO bets $22, HERO raises all-in $87,
Here is my thinking here. I checked the turn, happy with either keeping the pot small and checking it down, or check-raising all-in if he made stab at the pot. His almost pot sized bet ($22 into a $25.5 pot) made me believe that he didn't have a set (44 at TT). A monster wouldn't probably bet that much and bet a lesser ammount to try and convince me to call.
I can't really put him on JJ-AA, because I would think that one of those would re-raise PF (Though I suppose AA would sometimes just call there to desguise thier hand). I am representing a strong hand here. Of course if they did have a set, obviously TT and 44 would call in a heartbeat, and those two hands are definitly in his range. And if he slowplayed AA PF, he probably would call. But I think I can get any other hand to fold.
Villain thought for a long time, almost using up his time bank.
Rest of hand below in white
CO calls.
River: ($199.5, 1 player + 1 all-in - Main pot: $199.5)
Results:
Final pot: $199.5
CO showed Js Jc
HERO showed 7h 7c
What do you think? Should I have not checked the turn? Should I have bet and then folded if they raised?Statistics: Posted by LuparFiend — Thu Oct 26, 2006 9:17 am
