GB(U): some hands for review

[Masterplan]

todays hands are on playing AK. one good and one bad in VERY similar circumstances. first is my biggest losing hand in the session (-$125 net) the second is my biggest winning hand (+$54.25 net) overall in the session i was $222.25 up over 387 hands first: BAD: i bet out on the flop because the caller is very loose, 63% vpip. after the flat call i figured the ten was a distinct possibility but was hoping that i might be able to back up the queen. with my nut straight to fall back on. Game #3605647453: Hold'em NL ($0.50/$1) - 2007/03/26 - 12:10:33 (EST) Table "Vihuela" Seat 3 is the button. Seat 1: LuckDoc ($42 in chips) Seat 2: M_Man79th ($125.25 in chips) Seat 3: Debbiekim ($157.25 in chips) Seat 4: SchutzIla ($56.32 in chips) Seat 5: Serway sits out Seat 6: MrBlizzar ($139.25 in chips) SchutzIla: posts small blind $0.50 MrBlizzar: posts big blind $1 ----- HOLE CARDS ----- dealt to M_Man79th [Kc Ad] LuckDoc: folds M_Man79th: raises to $4 Debbiekim: calls $4 SchutzIla: folds MrBlizzar: folds ----- FLOP ----- [Td Jd Th] M_Man79th: bets $8 Debbiekim: calls $8 ----- TURN ----- [Td Jd Th][Qs] M_Man79th: bets $16 Debbiekim: calls $16 ----- RIVER ----- [Td Jd Th Qs][Qc] M_Man79th: bets $97.25 and is all-in Debbiekim: calls $97.25 ----- SHOW DOWN ----- M_Man79th: shows [Kc Ad] (A Straight, Ace high) Debbiekim: shows [Tc Ac] (A Full House, Tens full of Queens) Debbiekim collected $249 from Main pot ----- SUMMARY ----- Total pot $252 Main pot $249 Rake $3 Board [Td Jd Th Qs Qc] Seat 1: LuckDoc folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 2: M_Man79th showed [Kc Ad] and lost with A Straight, Ace high Seat 3: Debbiekim (button) showed [Tc Ac] and won ($249) with A Full House, Tens full of Queens Seat 4: SchutzIla (small blind) folded before Flop (didn't bet) Seat 6: MrBlizzar (big blind) folded before Flop (didn't bet) ****HAND ENDS**** GOOD: almost the same again, except against a relatively tight opponent, 34% vpip. after hitting the nuts on the turn i'm giving a free card by flat calling for 2 reasons: 1: i hide my made hand 2: they might need to improve in order to get the chips all in, so by giving it i increase my odds of getting all their chips in. in this instance she had made her hand on the turn, and cearly viewed my river all in as a bluff steal, she took a long time to make the call byut i got them in the end.

Re: GB(U): some hands for review I cant for the life of me see why you went all in on the first hand, even if you were trying to represent a bluff what exactly could anyone call you with, an ace high?
