My start to December playing NL$10 continued where November left off, playing well and winning.
My bankroll is upto $245, with another $75 due in bonus' in the next couple of days. So shortly i will be taking a shot at NL$25 and hopefully i can continue to get some good results.
Another new thing i have started is to make a weekly rota of when i intend to play poker, writing down in advance my session times and length and then sticking to them. Cutting out all the time i mess about doing other stuff and waste time should nearly double my table hours without really noticing it.
Here is a hand from today that i got coolered on despite getting all the money in on the turn. It was against a reg. I typed in the usual "FML" into the chat, to which he replied, "why would you ever raise there on the turn?". It got me thinking have i played this wrong or is my thought pattern wrong in the hand.
I figured i was going to get paid off big time by the villian having a King, however i suppose in hindsight i should have just called and let him get it in with the rest of his range. If he did have a king i was getting paid of anyway. Yeah he was right....i f*cked up.
I like raise flop here, u hav combo draws to protect against(JQ, 98, Flush)
ReplyDeleteAs played turn raise is okay as he leads twice. If I raised the flop and he came along then I would just call the turn if he leads again as we hav set up for stacks by the river.
Good results man. I will probably be playing u soon at nl50 or nl100 if this continues
Yo Rossi, nice start man!
ReplyDeleteYep, agree with Rosh here...usually going to be raising this flop almost always for value and protection. Think of it this way, you're not going to get a lot of action (if any) on a later street unless you let him catch up. Is he going to double barrel with QQ/JJ? Doubt it. Same thing with AJ/AQ unless he gets there. Now's a great time to raise and try to get the money in if he's holding AK, AQ/AJss or any spades really.
As played, turn is 100% a raise imo and I'd never listen to another 10nl reg tell me I played bad lol. The reason I'd raise the turn is because it's very unlikely he's going to fold anything in his value range (being 77, AK, and possibly all Kx) and since there are so few hands that beat Kx in this spot (and the board's wet and he could put you on a worse Kx (KQ,KJ) and ship.
Also, if you just flat here, using similar logic for raising the flop you're unlikely to get any more value on the river. There's a slim chance that he'd c/c with QQ/JJ but he's shutting down with missed spades/gutters.
cliffnotes: raise flop, raise turn, don't listen to 10nl regs!
lol nh, unlucky!
