Hand 1: As was said by Ice and Devbert, you need to raise here somewhere. If these players are so bad this guy is going to give you more value than you get from calling/calling/calling if you raise. You lost value on this hand.
Hand 2: I dont like your line at all, checking a set twice is bad, you are asking for someone to suck out on you. After 2 people call his flop bet bettor checks, if the other guy is on a draw you give everyone a free card to beat you. I dont mind the call on the flop though I might raise against players who are this bad especially oop against both of them. It didnt cost you anything this hand but you line is bad.
Hand 3: Your preflop raise is bad, if you get 7 callers than you either need to make a much larger raise or just limp. I would suggest against this group just limping. This looks like a good flop for you but it really isnt that great. There is nothing that can call a bet that doesnt have you beat or a good chance of chopping. There is almost not draw that can beat you. I would check the flop behind. If you get called you are either way behind, or chopping. You want to keep the pot small.
Hand 4: I'm not a big fan of calling a 6x raise with AT, though that is borderline. Everything else is fine, yes you do have to call the river. I actually don't mind checking the turn, if he has a naked 7 and thinks it might have been good on the flop you might still get all his chips by checking behind the turn, there is no way you are folding the river but this way you maximize the number of hands that can give you all their money.
Running bad sucks, you defiantly took some tough beats here but you need to look past the bad river cards and see that you aren't playing perfect either, there are always places you can improve. I'm not sure if it still exists but there used to be an article on the front page that Ice wrote an about running bad, if its still posted somewhere it is a good read and something you might want to look at.Statistics: Posted by Rhound50 — Sun Nov 18, 2007 10:45 am
