titile says it all, when its downswing time all hands seem more difficult to play
hand 1: overplayed TPTK...what is the best way to find out where i stand?
preflop: I'm in UTG with
and i raise to 4BB..I get 3 callers, Button, SB and BB
flop:
It gets checked to me and i bet 13bb into 16bb pot
...soon after that, BB is the only one that stays in the hand and he miniraises..to 26bb(13 more to me)..i decide to raise it to 39bb(dont ask why..i wanted to reraise to see where I stand but even this got me commited)..as expected he pushes and I call(50bb) ..
how often will the willian here have some sort of draw and how often will it be set..
what is your action on this flop(assume that u get 2-3 callers and pot is big but u dont want to fold TPTK too easily, while u are aware that there are 1-2ppl there with a PP that could hit..what do you do after he miniraises? he is 45/10
Hand 2:
Preflop, im BB with AK and its folded to MP who raises to 4bb(he is 35/15), OTB calls so i decide that calling is bad(im to hit it 1/3 times and he could have a weaker holding)..so i 3bet to 14bb(i figured a JJ+ could reraise push while smaller PP's and weaker holding would fold)
Flop:
pot is 40bb
i was surprised that button called and i was afraid to CB, since anything under 20bb would be seen as weak while more than that could be spewing..so i decide to check and original raises(MP) bets 14bb..button folds and i decide to call since i figure my Kd could be live
turn is a 5s and it gets checked
river:
I check(ive decided to call a reasonable bet since villian could have JJ or KK)
he bets 20BB in a 70bb pot so i decide to call..
should i call here(am i beating anything?, his flop bet seemed week so i figured it could be a smaller PP)
what do u think villian had? how would u play it?
Hand 3: short one,
how do you play back at villian?
Co raises to 6bb(only 1 limper) and u hold AKo in BB..no reads on opponent(3 hands)
he has 42bb behind..what is your action?(i fear any reraise will force him to push with almost any 2)
flop comes 267 rainbow, pot is 12 bb villian bets 5bb..your action?(u hold air
)
I usually dont tend to overplay hands..i just went over my last 90 AA's, they are winining a huge 90% of time but i only called 2-3 times when i was behind( i guess i want up against sets too often(only 1 times out of 90 i think)
ive checked pairs, im playing top 3 QQ-AA very good while im losing some money with JJ-88 when they are raised..
sorry for long post but ive decided to start to clean up my mistakes(finally got 25k hands on 100$ NL, only 1.25PTBB at moment(i woudl be ok with 2-3PTBB since i get 5-600 hands a hr)
