Title: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: LOJ on January 11, 2013, 12:21:19 PM Got a couple of hands would like some feedback on. Don’t really post on PHA, but wanted to get opinions on how I played the hands and what I should have done at each stage. I’m a recreational player, and tend to just sat into the monthly DTD tourneys and play local games at Genting in Liverpool. Trying to make tweaks to my game so I can improve this year. Would like to know how I played hands and what I should have done different.
Hand 1 - 10 mins in, about 4th hand No reads or information on players we have 30k stack. We have played no hands. Blinds 50/100 UTG raises to 250, MP call, I call in cut off with 3h 3s (right/wrong?), blinds come along. So to the flop with 1250 in the pot we see 3c 7s 5s UTG c-bets to 500, MP raises to 1,000… We should? Hand 2 – We are on the button with 40k Villain 1 in SB with 22k, (has played a few hands, not hit anything, and not got to showdown, mostly folded on the flop to c-bets) Villain 2 UTG with 40k. Has played 3 hands, KK once which got to river, AA which he c-bet flop and all others folded and AQ which flopped 2 pair and others folded the turn. He has showed all hands. Blinds 50/100 UTG raises 350, I RR on button with Jh Jc to 1,000. Both villains call. 3,100 in the middle we see a flop of:- Js Ac Ks SB leads for 1,500, UTG calls, we should? Will wait for some replies before posting next stage… OK next bit...... Hand 1 we opt to call and see a turn, UTG also comes along for the ride. Pot now 4,250 Hero 28.7k Villain 1 UTG - 28.7k villain 2 MP - 28.7k Turn card comes a 4h So board reads... 3c 7s 5s 4h Villain 1 checks, Villain 2 bets 2,250.. WWYD and why? Hand 2... ok hand 2 we opt to call. Is this a mistake? Was Hero playing like a pussy? Turn comes Qh pot 7,600 Hero - 39k Villain 1 SB - 20k Villain 2 UTG 39k Board now reads Js Ac Ks Qh Villain 1 checks, Villain 2 bets 3,500 Hero? Again WWYD and why? Have I played hands passively so far or is this line ok early on? Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: outragous76 on January 11, 2013, 12:24:21 PM Hand 1 - call
Hand 2 - villains as described are likely to 4 bet AA KK pre and therefore just proceed presuming you have the best of it atm, and that they could well have smashed the flop pretty hard (2pr etc) Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: Eso Kral on January 11, 2013, 12:47:20 PM Hand 1 - call
Hand 2 - I'm raising to 6000-6500 Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played?

Post by: rfgqqabc on January 11, 2013, 07:15:09 PM I agree with Alex/Eso. Would probably size a bit smaller like 5550 or the like but its all good really.
I see you've edited the hands. It'd be easier if you posted again so it looks a lot clearer. I'd flat both as played. Both straights are somewhat difficult to have, and we can easily hit a house. Its a shame you ran so good on flops but so bad on turns :( Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: TL900 on January 12, 2013, 07:16:14 AM Hand 1 - call Hand 2 - I'm raising to 6000-6500 ding ding ding As played, call both turns. Also, I just flat pre with JJ Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: LOJ on January 14, 2013, 11:44:08 AM Final bits to both hands.....
Hand 1.... So there is 4,250 in the pot, we opt to call the 2,250, villain 1 folds. To the River with 8,750... River comes 8h Board 3c 7s 5s 4h 8h Villain 1 checks... We??? Hand 2.... We opt to call the bet, Villain 1 folds 14,600 in the middle and the river brings in 8s Board Js Ac Ks Qh 8s Villain 2 bets 7k... We? Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: Eso Kral on January 14, 2013, 01:00:15 PM Hand 1 - am now betting 4575 and am V happy about it
Hand 2 - Fold, even if he hasnt got it its ok to be bluffed sometimes and you are still only in level 1 with 34k which well over avg. No need to put the cape on here imo Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: david3103 on January 14, 2013, 01:54:52 PM What Eso advises

No need to put the cape on here imo [/quote] What Eso would do Jam - he can't have the nut flush and will have to fold Title: Re: DTD £150k, 2 hands how have I played? Post by: LOJ on January 15, 2013, 08:54:14 AM Thanks for replies. Hand 1. I've probably missed out on some value here then? Should have really thought a bit deeper. With a possible straight on the board, and the way the action went, he would have v bet the river with it, and he couldnt have an over set the way things played out. Didnt fancy a re-raise spot so I checked back and was show 7c 5c for flopped 2 pair. Could maybe have got more in on the flop? Missed value? Hand 2. I took a while to think about it, very wet board, but villain didn't look happy & I called. Was shown Ad Jh for another flopped 2 pair. Main thing I'm trying to figure out with my game was if I had missed value on both hands? Should I have pushed more to get it in on the flop or turn? Gave us a decent stack to play with early on, but didnt push on enough....... |
