Could I have played this better?

Postby Cactus Jack » Tue Aug 02, 2005 4:42 am

Party Poker (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with [Jc], [Tc].
7 folds.
CJ_49 calls [$0.25].
MacNeal007 raises [$1].
CJ_49 calls [$0.75].
Flop: [7c], [3c], [Jd] (2 players)
CJ_49 checks.
MacNeal007 bets [$2].
CJ_49 calls [$2].
Turn: [5c] (2 players)
CJ_49 bets [$6].
MacNeal007 raises [$12].
CJ_49 calls [$6].

River: [Qc] (2 players)
Hero checks, CO calls 46.25 (All-In), Hero folds.

He had me covered. Should I have gone all-in on the turn?

first off, if you are UTG, i fold that preflop but as kent said, how are there 7 folds. I lead out or check raise that flop and when he raises the turn, I push.

Ok, so I acknowledge I'm playing too loose. Got it. :)

I had $58 at the river. The guys was super LAG. Something like 74% VPi$P. I really don't think he had me beat, and I KNOW I had him on the turn, but he was pretty crazy and way up on the day. (I doubt he's used to that.) I had to bail. The guy was simply overaggressive and acting the total fool.

If I had folded, I wouldn't have been in the position to begin with. I'm starting to get smarter. :lol:

Thanks, guys.

Yeah fold preflop...


raise big on the flop. You should raise enough so you can't fold...hell...if you're gonna play that hand that is one of those awesome flops.

I'm surprised so many people say not to play a J,10s? It's one of my favorite hands and its my favorite suited connector.

When I play it though, I give no credit to pairing my J or my 10.

I do play lots of 6-max though so that might affect things.


I agree with the others, you have to either bet that flop or CR it big.
