Should i have layed it down on the river after checkin the turn ? curiosity got the better of me i think. Or should i just simply of bet the turn, tried to get my money in on the river and gone to the next SitnGo when he turns over his pocket queens, what do u think ?

GaF Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Percentages or Instinct ? :welcome to PL Which site is this on? It's a horrible format hand history and difficult to get your head around. There's also vital information missing - like stack sizes. In general you should be raising your Aces pre flop. You can "mix it up" occasionally by playing other ways, but, especially if you are new to poker "your natural ineptitude will provide enough variance in your game to confuse your opponents" (not a criticism directed at you - it applies to me too ;) ) So you should definitely have reraised pre flop! How were you sure he had pocket queens on the turn? Sounds like a very difficult read to make. (especially if it's a micro stakes game, which from his min raise pre flop I'm guessing it is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriswainwrightboro Posted October 21, 2008 Author Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Percentages or Instinct ? Its Bodog, and he was a VERY tight player .. mainly check folding in any hands that he was in, also i didnt think he would raise UTG with Ace queen .. When he bet the river i was hoping he turned over KingQueen :hope, so my 2 pair would beat his. Also, in this situation i would normally have re-raised, but i had the button and wanted the loose BB to call. Anyway, about the hand history i realise it doesnt have stack sizes, which is daft :unsure .. but we were both about even on around 2000 with the blinds at 75/150 i think. So i should of just simply re raised here regardless of position ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Percentages or Instinct ? You have an initial raiser - I'd be reraising here almost all the time, especially as you are both pretty short stacked (down to 13xBB). The pot is already worth 25% of your stack - it's not a total disaster if everyone folds to your raise (though you obviously want a caller) - It's ideal if you get it all in pre flop - you know you're behind to nothing!!

SteveO Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Percentages or Instinct ? I think if you had reraised preflop he's at least going to call there's no way he's folding QQ unless he's a supertight idiot. I would have made it 900 to go and gone broke on the flop.

SteveO Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Percentages or Instinct ? To be honest Chris you should have gone broke on the hand. If you had reraised preflop all the moneys going in on the flop (and that's if he hadn't rearaised you allin preflop). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PGremlin Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Re: Percentages or Instinct ? lol, yeah, his "wrong" play let him live :tongue2 This just shows that there are no answers which are always right, just some are more often right, but never always.
