More FLO8 hands for analysis

Postby Stoneburg » Fri Jan 13, 2006 1:54 pm

After getting feedback on earlier hands I feel I have improved my game a bit, hopefully these won't contain quite as many errors. I haven't really got any litterature on this subject so this place and by playing is pretty much how I learn (I did read the O8 chapter in SS2 a while ago and will re-read it once I get the book back).

The converter seems to mess up the river, which is why I have had to paste it in like I have, hope it is still understandable. Remmeberm this is FLO8 in a Sit and Go format ($10+1 level) Now on to the hands...

#1
Preflop: Hero is SB with [Ad], [9d], [2c], [4s].
UTG calls, 1 fold, UTG+2 calls, 1 fold, MP2 calls, 3 folds, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: [7d], [Td], [8c] (5 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls, MP2 folds, Hero raises, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+2 calls.

Turn: [5h] (4 players)
Hero bets, BB raises, UTG folds, UTG+2 calls, Hero raises, BB raises, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls.

River: [5d] (3 players)

Hero bets [60].
abb1954 calls [60].
triple0322 calls [60].

Hero shows [ Ad, 9d, 2c, 4s ] a flush, ace high.
Hero shows 8,7,5,2,A for low.
abb1954 doesn't show [ 9c, 9s, Jd, Ac ] a straight, seven to jack.
triple0322 doesn't show [ 3c, Kd, 2d, Js ] a flush, king high.

Should I raise this preflop? Normally I don't raise out of the SB but that's in PL where position is much more important. How about the post flop play?

Very nice hand, definetely worth a raise because of both good high and low potential preflop, right? I'm really passive after the flop because I haven't got any high potential at all? Should I be raising at any point or just call down with the nut low? I figured I wanted as many overcallers as possible. Is it just be or does he mess up betting his trips that hard?

I don't raise preflop because of bad position and the poor high potential of my hand, right or wrong? Just call on that flop with my low draw, the turn gives me an OESD but with a paired board I figure I am only going for at most half the pot so once again I just call down.

-------------------------------------------

I figure I misplayed this one but where do I muck it? On the turn?

-------------------------------------------
#5

reddneckin11 wins Lo (1150 chips) from the main pot with 7,4,3,2,A.

Now the table is shorthanded so I am loosening up, is this call too loose? Should I be raising the turn? I figured I might have the best hand because of the lack of action on the flop (people should bet a straight or set there) but I wasn't sure at all, since someone could have been holding TT and be afraid of the str8 or bigger set.

-------------------------------------------
#6
Preflop: Hero is Button with [Ad], [2c], [As], [7d].

ghoeti bets [300].

ghoeti shows [ Qc, Js, 9d, 8h ] a full house, Eights full of queens.
Big_Whit doesn't show [ Ks, 3s, Jd, 4c ] a flush, king high.
Hero shows [ Ad, 2c, As, 7d ] two pairs, aces and eights.

ghoeti wins 1800 chips from the main pot with a full house, Eights full of queens.
Hero wins Lo (1800 chips) from the main pot with 8,6,4,2,A.

Shorthanded I figured I would play my overpair and nut low draw aggressively, but I chicken out on the river. Should I be raising for value there even without a real high hoping to get an overcall? If I get re-raised I might be getting quartered and lose the caller... is it worth the risk?

-------------------------------------------

I think I played a bit better today, the advice from last time has helped. I've played 15 SNGs total and have a ROI of 118% with 40% first place finishes... this has to be a fluke, right?
