Title: Playing a monster hand Post by: Crotale on July 17, 2012, 11:20:35 PM I tried to put this hand through the hand history converter but I couldn't get it to work. If someone who knows how could convert the hand history it would be much appreciated.
Anyway, I would appreciate any advice on how to play monster hands. I recently had flopped the stone cold nuts in a mixed PLO/PLH freeroll and am not sure if I played it correctly. I never really know what to do when I know I'm ahead, I think I kinda get too scared of losing my customer and not getting paid. I would appreciate any pointers as to how I could've perhaps played this hand better -------- PokerStars Hand #83473558369: Tournament #586786168, Freeroll Mixed PLH/PLO (Hold'em Pot Limit) - Level III (20/40) - 2012/07/17 17:44:10 ET Table '586786168 73' 9-max Seat #6 is the button Seat 1: Crot4le (3240 in chips) Seat 2: rafastifler (19460 in chips) Seat 3: takitibi67 (3060 in chips) Seat 4: mdcmaycon (7625 in chips) Seat 5: lVlorrison (1385 in chips) is sitting out Seat 6: jacpen214 (1145 in chips) Seat 7: UPYOHO (1385 in chips) is sitting out Seat 8: stuba01 (1455 in chips) is sitting out Seat 9: GorillaStars (1395 in chips) is sitting out UPYOHO: posts small blind 20 stuba01: posts big blind 40 *** HOLE CARDS *** Dealt to Crot4le [Qc Qs] GorillaStars: folds Crot4le: raises 80 to 120 rafastifler: raises 300 to 420 takitibi67: folds mdcmaycon: calls 420 lVlorrison: folds jacpen214: folds UPYOHO: folds stuba01: folds Crot4le: raises 580 to 1000 rafastifler: calls 580 mdcmaycon: calls 580 *** FLOP *** [Qd 4c Qh] UPYOHO has returned Crot4le: bets 560 rafastifler: folds mdcmaycon: calls 560 *** TURN *** [Qd 4c Qh] [6s] Crot4le: bets 600 mdcmaycon: calls 600 *** RIVER *** [Qd 4c Qh 6s] [Jc] Crot4le: bets 1080 and is all-in mdcmaycon: calls 1080 *** SHOW DOWN *** Crot4le: shows [Qc Qs] (four of a kind, Queens) mdcmaycon: shows [Tc 9s] (a pair of Queens) Crot4le collected 7540 from pot *** SUMMARY *** Total pot 7540 | Rake 0 Board [Qd 4c Qh 6s Jc] Seat 1: Crot4le showed [Qc Qs] and won (7540) with four of a kind, Queens Seat 2: rafastifler folded on the Flop Seat 3: takitibi67 folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 4: mdcmaycon showed [Tc 9s] and lost with a pair of Queens Seat 5: lVlorrison folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: jacpen214 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 7: UPYOHO (small blind) folded before Flop Seat 8: stuba01 (big blind) folded before Flop Seat 9: GorillaStars folded before Flop (didn't bet) Title: Re: Playing a monster hand Post by: jackinbeat on July 19, 2012, 11:13:09 PM You got all their chips, job done, congrats. Is this a veiled brag or serious, flopping the stone cold nuts and getting paid depends on your opponents, what they've done in the past hands and how they currently perceive you. Can't say much more without that info, but looks like you did fine here, seeing as they paid you off with T9.

This was a completely irrelevent freeroll and the play was correspondingly loose. Players were calling with anything and everything so I've nothing to brag about. However, I have never been in this situation before and thus didn't really know what to do (not that it mattered in such an inconsequential freeroll). I therefore want to get advice on how to play such hands in case it arises in more important occasion against better players? If say, this was the Sunday Million and the other players weren't donking out the tournament for fun, would my play have made it completely obvious that I was so strong or whatnot?

Was only kidding with the veiled brag comment, I would also like to hear other thoughts. As I said before, I believe it's very player dependant, flopping the stone cold nuts and checking it to the river is painful, I like your lead on the flop, how you get paid by T9, well that's freerolls, but leading here is fine in my eyes. Title: Re: Playing a monster hand Post by: SubZERO on July 26, 2012, 07:43:21 PM I'm probs checking the flop, easy enough to make reasonable bet sizes and get your stack in on the turn and/or river. Most of the time when you bet the flop people will just fold
lol at the call down edit - also when you 4 bet and then bet that small on the flop it looks really suspicious to any decent player Title: Re: Playing a monster hand Post by: Crotale on July 30, 2012, 05:04:46 PM I'm probs checking the flop, easy enough to make reasonable bet sizes and get your stack in on the turn and/or river.
