HAND #3
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (10 handed)

one of the pocket pairs where i'm on the negative numbers... usual raise

Flop: ($12) , , (4 players)
Hero bets $5, BB calls $19.50 (All-In), MP3 folds, CO calls $19.50, Hero raises to $34, CO calls $14.50.

I make the mistake of betitng 5 instead of the pot , giving great odds for the flush, but the guy next to me pushes all in , and the following guy calls, MP3 is a total calling station so i put him either on top pair or drawing for the flush, so i decide to push all in, guy calls and the rest is history


Turn: ($99.50) (3 players, 1 all-in)
Hero bets $3, CO calls $2.50 (All-In).

River: ($105) (3 players, 2 all-in)

Final Pot: $105

Hand 1:
You should have laid down at the check-raise on the turn (easy to say, difficult to do). He else has KQ or 66.

Hand 2:
I would have check-raised the flop. If you are reraised you can lay down.

Hand3:
Clear lay down after one guy raises and the other guy calls the bet.

I think you are too aggressive...

Hand #2: You are clearly up against QQ-AA. Think about it. What else could he have to reraise your 6xBB preflop raise? Unless he's a raving maniac on LSD, he's basically telling you in bold face: "I have a big pair." If you still feel like playing your jacks after the flop, lead out with a probe bet. If you are raised or called, divorce your hand.

Hand 1--I'm not sure I could have folded, but I know I wouldn't be reraising. You want pot control at this point and KQ is a real possibility in a raised pot.

Hand 2--I'm folding the flop. He reraised a 6 bb bet. He has JJ beat. After you called him pf, it became set or fold.

Hand 3--I bet the flop more than 5. Make it 10 so you drive out weaker stuff and also gain information from opponents. The way you played it, I definitely fold after BB pushes and gets called. Yuck.


General thought--Play your big pairs aggressive preflop, but if you are receiving major heat BACK after the flop, it's time to really slow down. You are probably beat and at the very least you are going to play for your stack if you don't slow down which is not advisable with just an overpair.

The Price of Bad Plays:

Hand #1 - Yeah probably i shoulda know that KQ , QQ even 66 was a possiblity and lay that down at that point, it was gonna be only 18 against the 55 i spent on that hand

Overspending = $37

Hand #2 - I will consider the preflop call... ok, but the rest was awful, should know i was beat against a TA player

Overspending = $40.5
Acumulate = $77.5

Hand #3 - Now that i cool down i kind of reamember that i was playing another big hand on another table and when this talbe pop up i quickly bet , and after i did i realized that my bet was too small, the guy pushed and CO called, i had no idea what BB was on , but figured that had CO Beat ( he played every single hand , and was a muppet ) so i decided to put him all in... and well.... chit happens,

Overspending = $36.5
Big Total = $114
