I call, you've played scared/weak all thorugh the hand and the board looks scary now. He is jamming thinking that you just can't call because you can't have any idea what he has.

I have to resist the urge to wind up Longy, but i fold. This scenario is why sklansky writes books.

Really, where's the value??? He only calls us with better hands and AK.

I would call preflop. Check-call on a non ace board (if we check he almost def moves in). Check-fold on an ace board.

Are we setting him in for value???

Fold for me. I think he has it. He either made a boat or flopped the nut flush. I think JJ raises pre so i would discount that, but it's possible he has a smaller boat.

Anyway, he had A-Jo off.

Hi Guys,

Here is a hand i had the other night and it threw me a bit. It's in a $20 STT on UB.

Seat 5 - SESSY11 (1,088 in chips)
Seat 6 - PRODIGE1634 (1,745 in chips)
Seat 7 - POKERBOTLEE2 (1,475 in chips)
Seat 8 - SUPAMONKEY (1,365 in chips)
Seat 9 - MRBASS444 (1,480 in chips)
Seat 1 - 3BARRELBL333 (1,560 in chips)
Seat 2 - HOUSEURMUSIC (1,040 in chips)
Seat 3 - SONOFTHESOUTH (1,655 in chips)
Seat 4 - KINGCAT77 (2,092 in chips)
SESSY11 - Posts small blind 10
PRODIGE1634 - Posts big blind 20
*** POCKET CARDS ***
Dealt to SUPAMONKEY [10s 10h]
POKERBOTLEE2 - Folds
SUPAMONKEY - Raises 60 to 60
MRBASS444 - Calls 60
3BARRELBL333 - Folds
HOUSEURMUSIC - Folds (Preselection)
SONOFTHESOUTH - Folds (Preselection)
KINGCAT77 - Calls 60
SESSY11 - Folds
PRODIGE1634 - Folds (Preselection)
*** FLOP *** [ two spades]
SUPAMONKEY - Bets 160
MRBASS444 - Folds
KINGCAT77 - Raises 320 to 320
SUPAMONKEY - Huh?

The min raise had me totally confused here. Sometimes people do this to see if your CB is BS but sometimes they actually have it. I hadn't been paying too much attention so i have no reads on this player. I hate the play but i didn't have a clue how to proceed.

What is his range and what should i do?

Thanks wellchief. What would you raise to, he has $29 left approx.

10  Poker Forums / Poker Hand Analysis / Re: A couple of hands on: March 29, 2007, 04:33:12 PM
Ok, thanks for the comments guys.


Wellchief, i had just finshed typing when you posted, so i've only changed it slightly.


In the first one i knew the guy was weak. He checked the flop and then made a weak bet on the turn. I raised it x 2.5 times. If he was only feigning weakness he would come over the top there but once he calls and then checks the river, i know he is scared but that i am beaten. I think my problem was that i was trying to make a strong looking small bet (which is more +EV) to get him out of the hand but i didn't stop to think about what hand i was trying to represent (this ties in with what wellchief just said). Obviously here i am trying to respresent a set and he must have wondered why i would build the pot on the turn and only stick in a small bet on the end. This probably led to the call and the more i think about it the more i think i shoulda shoved on the end.


I raise pairs preflop because if i limp with pairs and raise pretty much everything else, i feel that i am telegraphing my hand. I like to come in for a raise with almost every hand i decide to play in an unraised pot.


In the last one I guess i was just playing soooooo lag (at least preflop) that i thought that should have got more value out of it. I will try what you said Wellchief but if i 3 bet there surely he cannot put me on anything other than the flush.


These are just random thoughts of mine, feel free to comment.

Right, i've been playing tourneys for a couple of years and i've realised that the cash game players seem to learn more quickly so i've been playing a little cash recently. Tbh, i've got 12 days to finish my thesis (for my phd) so i haven't really played that much poker but i would be interested in your thoughts on a couple of low stakes hands.

Mateyboy did think for ages but i didn't think he could call with only a pair there, personally i thought it was a good bluff. Am i being a donk and just trying outrageous bluffs where there is no place for them?? I was a little afraid of moving in, should i have just bottled it and gone for it or strictly stood to a no set no bet situation. Pre-flop i felt i was behind, on the flop i was looking for a set and from then on i was on a bluff.

     $1.70 is raked from a pot of $42.80.
     ToddClark wins $41.10 with a pair of queens.



Ok, so i have finally gotten fed up and i have decided to raise every hand to $1 preflop (i have never enjoyed poker so much) unless there is significant action before me. I kid you not, i have raised about 30-40 hands to $1 preflop in a row and my stack has grown due to people constantly folding preflop. This time i have only raised to 75c to assume the betting lead and to build the pot should i get a nice flop. Surely i should get more value here, pls tell me how??? Ps. Mr brick has been calling a lot of my preflop raises cos he has position. He seems to fold when he misses though.

Surely if you bet the turn you would want to follow through on the river. However, you don't have the stack to make two decent bets so it is your stack size that dictates that you check behind here, no? Please tell me if i'm talking gibberish.
