Hi guys i'm new to the forum, just got a few key hands from my comp last night i'd like sum advice on cheers.
hand 1:
Blinds 1k/2k , avg stack 30k. me 40k , bb 40k.
got a good read on the big blind from conversation as much as anything and determine he's scared money (thus i am looking to steal his blind quite frequently) but he's a good solid player.
folded to me in cut-off i have q9o and go to raise but then think better of it and elect to limp for 2k, hoping to play a small pot with position on the blinds.
button folds sb limps bb checks.
ok 6k in pot.
flop AK2 rainbow.
chheck to me and i fire 3500 into the 6k looking to take it down.
sb folds , bb cr's to 8500.
now taking note of his image (scared money), i make it 18.5k (10k more)
he thinks for a while before telling me he'd love to shove but he could be drawing dead and passes a9 face up.
at this point my ego gets the better of me and i show hiim q9 to try and tilt him a little, but a muck wouldve probably been better for my image.
hand 2:
blinds 1.5k/3k avg stack 35k. me 50k. utg 40k. button 25k.
utg limps folded round to button who makes it 7k!!!
i'm on big blind with 44 and elect to call the 4k to try and hit a set and break button or utg (who i assume will flat)
he does and flop comes j62 rainbow.
22.5k in pot, and i feel at this point that i can take it down unless one of them is playing AA.KK.QQ OR AJ.
so i lead for 10k and utg folds , button dwells and pushes for 7.5k extra.
i consider passing but 7.5 to win 55kish i elect to call and try and get lucky.
he shows AJ and takes it down.
hand 3:
crapshoot time
blinds 3k/6k 15remain 9 get paid avg stack 55k.
i have 40k.
were 7 handed and i get utg.
and push all in hoping i dont run into 88-AA, but ideally every1 folds and i add 25% to my stack.
every1 folds to bb who has me covered with 60k and calls with .
he holds and i finish in 15th.
