Returned to $.25NL at AP tonight because I'm stubborn enough to think I can beat it. There were 2 hands that I thought I played questionably. They turned into my biggest win & and my biggest loss of the night.
1 - I have 30 seconds to count my outs on this hand and decide whether or not to call 2 short stacks. No read on either opponent.
7 handed UTG [Qc] ($50.20) I PFR to $1
SB calls ($8.85 behind), BB re-raises to $2 ($6.70 behind), I call, SB calls.
[5c][4d] Pot = $6
SB bets $3.75 ($4.10) left, BB pushes for $6.75.
Pot = $16.45 and it costs me $6.70 to call + probably another $4.10 to see both cards.
I have 2 overcards, I probably can't count all of them.
I have a BDFD for a definite 1.5 outs.
I have a GSSD which may end up spliting the pot with another Ace.
Figure all this out in 30 seconds and tell me whether or not to call.
2 - 7 handed BB [5h] ($39.30 after posting).
UTG+1, new player, limps ($49.25 behind), MP raises to $1 ($7.95 behind), Button calls ($19.14 behind), I call, UTG+1 calls.
[3d][7h] Pot = $4.10
I bet $2.50, UTG+1 calls, 2 folds.
Pot = $9.10
Damn! The one heart I didn't really want. This brand new player limped early, then called about a 3/5 pot bet. What the hell can I put him on and what do I want to do?
