    Hand from VC Tourny last night

    in Poker

    Posted

    Re: Hand from VC Tourny last night As promised: Personally I think your raise is too small here given your chip stack - you have put 30% of your chip stack into the middle and it is costing the villian only 12% or so of his stack to call and see the flop (900 more is an easy call after limping). With only 12 BB left and a limp in front I would be shoving, that way villian is putting in half his stack if he wants to play. I think you sum it up perfectly at the end of question one*, if you raise more and get called you are in a tricky situation, so it is best to make your life as easy as possible and shove, that way you have no more decisions to make, only the villian does. *> Question 2 - yes defo calling if you are reraised AI by a single player - I would fold if SB shoves, BB shoves and MP limper calls/shoves. I might fold if there are two shoves in front of me as well (dependant on who they are/how desperate/loose I think they are), but against one opponent I am calling every day of the week here, you only fear AA-JJ and it is about 25-1 or so (?) that they have the bigger pair and the pot odds are good enough to call the AI re-raise. Question3 - range? from a solid player? not AA-KK, even a solid player would re-raise PF, unless they have a specific read and know you will bet the flop regardless. QQ-JJ is more likely, hoping to either flop a set/not see a A or K, any other PP and they must be looking for a set/draw to play on the flop. I would include AK/AQ and AJ/A10 (suited only) as well here, a limp to see a cheap flop and a call to see what happens (not a tactic I would choose to play generally. If I am first into the pot I prefer to raise and put others to the sword first, not the other way around). I would not expect to see some crap like Q10s etc hands that are too easily dominated by your 'AQ' etc, you might see 87s etc if they think you do have AQ etc. Question4: easy shove if villian checks, too much in the middle to fold, no point 'value' betting as any re-raise means you have to call given your chipstack, so just ship it in!! I think this is an excellent question and some excellent reasoning from you:ok There is one scenario you haven''t discussed (I am ignoring folding PF as that is bonkers) - the limp call with position and see the flop first. There might be an arguement from that if you put the villian on the 'Ax' range of hands, with no broadway cards on the flop you bet and get to take the pot however it might encourage the SB to limp and the BB gets to see the flop for free. Personally I don't think 10 10 is strong enough for that move in this situation (blinds to chip stack ratio) but is something that I would do at early levels when I have 40BB+ and hope to hit set etc. Cheers Damo

    Question 5 – Am I a spanner for thinking about the hand in this much detail?
    no you are not a spanner at all - thinking about hands and discussing then is a great way of improving your game. I will re-read you post and post my thoughts. Damo

    chopster530 All-in 660.00 Feel free to criticise my play up to this point, but I felt I was ahead of a drawing hand all the way through. What should I do now?
    Fold, he has made 2 check calls - and then shoves the river, whatever he was drawing to he has probably hit it. Damo

Call and be prepared to fold if you don't hit a set/a draw - You can't get him to fold here PF after he min raises you, so he is calling your shove. Seat 5: gabiii (34140.00) Seat 8: thehornet1 (28623.00) StormP post SB 1000.00 gabiii post BB 2000.00 ** Deal ** thehornet1 [Jd, Kh] *** Bet Round 1 *** thehornet1 Raise to 8000.00 gabiii All-in 34140.00 thehornet1 All-in 28623.00 Fold to the shove and save your 10BB - you don't need to be calling here Steve: I wouldn't worry too much about your play, you are getting decent chips and must be playing well to make it so deep in the tourneys. You just need to be more 'selectively aggresive' to keep you chip stack rolling along:ok And don't let the results bother you, poker is about making correct decisions, not being concerned about single results (you know this already I am sure).

    why do i keep doing this?

    Re: why do i keep doing this?

    was i wrong to push at this stage?
    if you are going to push, then do it preflop. If you are that close to the cash, then it might be best to let it go and pick a better spot if you want to finish ITM first and then try to win the tourney later. As it played out, I can't really see how you could have played it differently, once you have commnited to calling with AJ, you cAn't fold it even if villian might have AK/AQ Damo

    6 Seat MicroLimit NLHE Tutorial Videos and Strategy Articles

    in Poker

    Posted

    Re: 6 Seat MicroLimit NLHE Tutorial Videos and Strategy Articles as a general point - i seem to do better on 6 seater micro games (like prima) than 5 seater games on Boss. Not sure why? perhaps because I actually get to fold a hand or two being UTG/UTG+1 and not in a position to 'steal' - where as at a 5 seater the blinds come round so quick that you generally are always in a position to play? hmmm maybe its a psychological thing? maybe I think I need to play more at a 5 seater than I actually do? (probably due to me playing STT's for so long, I guess my mind clicks into STT mode?). Anyhoo I have been reading through the links slowly and carefully and I must say it has helped my SSNL game! :ok I just need to read through again and again and again to grasp the concepts. On another nore has anyone got Ed Miller's book on SSNL? is it a good read and will it add something to my (rather) basic game? or is everything i need to know contained in the threads posted above? Thanks Damo

    how do you mean judge it? do all members not get the password mate?
    "This tournament is only open to established PL'rs at the time the tournament was announced." I would wait and see dico - you have currently 13 posts, of which 4 are from today and directly related to getting the password I would wait for when a moderator gets here and reads the thread:ok genreally PL want to encourage as many forum members as possible to get involved and play, however there are some special tounry's that do not allow all members to enter. PL is a community and by particpating fully within the community, members are more likely to get passwords for the special tounry's - so keep posting and getting involved and see what happens my friend! Damo (who has slightly more posts than you and hasn't had the password either)
