Well , this hands are posted also in my new journal, they are from last nite at party 50 NL tables, as usual looking for some extra analysis.


HAND #1
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed)

UTG ($53.25)
UTG+1 ($9.98)
MP1 ($42.50)
Hero ($50.50)
MP3 ($108.16)
CO ($100.40)
Button ($39.25)
SB ($128.45)
BB ($123.82)

UTG calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.50, Hero raises to $3, MP3 calls $3, 3 folds, BB calls $2.50, UTG folds, MP1 calls $2.50.

I think the typical preflop raise... so far so good...


Flop: ($12.75) , , (4 players)
BB bets $4, MP1 folds, Hero raises to $12, MP3 folds, BB calls $8.

Flop is scary, but not scary enough, i don't think he can have J/Q so i raise his bet trying to push him out of any draws not giving him odds

Turn: ($36.75) (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $12, BB calls $12.

mmmm.... another club and he is checking to me... but i got the feeling that he is on the straight draw. so again i bet strong ( is this bet a mistake?? )

River: ($60.75) (2 players)
BB bets $25, Hero folds.

And yet another club.... he bets 25, and i just don't see how can i call this ( good fold?? )

Final Pot: $85.75

Results in white below:
BB doesn't show.
Outcome: BB wins $85.75.

HAND #2 ( The hand that made my ass hurt for a few minutes )

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

Button ($45.50)
SB ($39.40)
BB ($140.19)
UTG ($108.84)

MP1 ($13.55)
Hero ($60.60)
MP3 ($56.05)

1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.50, 1 fold, MP1 calls $0.50, Hero raises to $3, 5 folds, UTG+1 calls $2.50, MP1 folds.

This was quite a loose passive table with a few fish around where i was trying to play as strong game, so i liked my hand and then decided to raise ( i always try to raise the same with any raise hand so i give no ideas of what i hold with the strenght of my raise ), a guy listed as a LPP calls.

Flop: ($7.25) , , (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $4, Hero raises to $8, UTG+1 calls $4.

The big dilema is here... he bets been a 0.96 AF, so i'm pretty sure that he his holding an An Ax. but i think that my A with good kick is good enough to push him a little bit more, i raise , he calls.


Turn: ($23.25) (2 players)
UTG+1 bets $6, Hero raises to $20, UTG+1 calls $14.

My Money card shows up, again i don't think he flopped a set but now with him betting again i thinking that he might even flopped a 2 pair. but with the idea that he has no sets, i think i got way the best hand, so i put another big Raise. and again... he calls.

River: ($63.25) (2 players)
UTG+1 calls $11.36 (All-In), Hero calls $11.36.

....... and the Ten had to show up ...... and he pushed... and now for a minute i think a now what he is holding, but i this point with the amount of money invested i got to see that card...... ( was an error calling at this point ??)

Final Pot: $85.97

Results in white below:
UTG+1 has Kh Ah (straight, ace high).
Hero has Qs As (two pair, aces and queens).
Outcome: UTG+1 wins $85.97.

7 folds, Hero calls $0.50, SB (poster) completes, BB raises to $1.5, Hero calls $1.50, SB folds.

First thing... i know i probably i should been the preflop raiser trying to steal blinds, but at this point, after been dealt AA 5 times and kings 4 and have no action at all, and flopping no sets on the last 350 hands, i wanted to just call...
TAA in BB decides to raise, but at this point i feel loose enough and decide to call.

Flop: ($4.50) , , (2 players)
BB bets $4, Hero calls $4.

MONEY CARD!!!! and rainbow, and i don't think that there is anything scary here, so i just call his bet hoping for some improvement on his hand.

Turn: ($12.50) (2 players)
BB bets $10, Hero raises to $20, BB calls $22.85 (All-In), Hero calls $12.85.

BOAT, and i'm way sure i got the best hand, he bets, i raise his ass he pushes i call...

Well on the first hand I would do 2 thing differently. The first is the flop raise. Yo ushould have raised it to something like $16 or $20. taking down the pot there would be Ok. Now on the turn you said u bet strong?? A $12 bet into a $36 pot is not very strong. You are giving him 4-1 on the call so he is CORRECT to call. I think a bet at around $25-$30 or even the size of the pot would have been a bit better.

On the second hand I would have raisd a bit more on the flop somewhere in the neighborhood of around $12. Now on the turn I think I may have pushed. What do u think guys?

3. I think it was played very well.

4. That was very ballsy. After I got called on the flop with a continuation bet I slow down quite a bit. Maybe Im weak though. hehe

hand 4: with that many limpers, i'd raise more preflop. $3.50 or $4 even. you don't want to play this hand OOP against half the table. on the flop...if you're going to make a continuation bet....it's gotta be close to pot-sized. $5 into a $13 pot isn't going to scare anyone out. the turn push is actually pretty cool...but you could have pushed him out on the flop.

i am sorry for the condusion. Your flop raise on hand 1...you made it $12. I would have made it $16 -$20. I am a retard maybe i was not clear enough. Gimme a break i'm Canadian,eh! After his bet there was $17 in the pot. Iwould have been ok with that!!
