 Was having a very detailed and helpful conversation with daven in the IRC and realized I have not practiced hand combos at all! I guess there is a post around here from spoon with a grid for figuring them out as well but I can't find it. So if anyone does have the link please post it up.

Anyway.. I'm hoping some other fellow BC'ers are willing to take some time to post some hands and we can practice figuring out the combinations of hands our opponents have and determine why we are betting in certain situations. We can calculate combos that beat us, that we beat and that we split with. I know I need to practice this as much as possible so if anyone else is willing to please join in.
And if any of the old timers can jump in and help out and point out mistakes that would be awsome too!

I don't have time right this second to post a hand and go through it but might in a little bit.

if this has already been posted then lets start a new one!

ok, go go go

ok, a hand combo counting example. Not looking for feedback on the hand, for this reason i'm not posting reads

on river count:
1: suited broadway Qx combos

MP2 ($37.45)
MP3 ($54.20)
Hero (CO) ($73.85)
Button ($38.65)
SB ($51.80)
BB ($74.10)
UTG ($63.40)
UTG+1 ($88.05)
MP1 ($48.25)

Preflop: Hero is CO with K, A
5 folds, Hero bets $1.75, 2 folds, BB calls $1.25

Flop: ($3.75) 10, 8, K (2 players)
BB bets $2, Hero raises to $5, BB calls $3

Robb is an unknown quantity at this point
 1. My answer mod 3 was 2
2. Why bother? They're all beat.

Nice post, daven. Just chimin' in. Hope life is good.

 ok, good hand to practice on! i'm sure i will make several mistakes, but let me try. I'm not sure how many Q combos we're supposed to put in his range....

TTx3
88x3
JJx3

KKx1
AAx1

AKx4

QQx6

QJx12

QKx8

soo... i'm not sure if we are supposed to put KT, KJ and AJ in villains range as well.. but that would be

KTx6
KJx6
AJx6

and then I almost forgot AQx8

so 67 combos, 4 that we split with, 18 that we beat, and 45 that beat us? ok, now correct all my mistakes, lol... I'm sure I hacked it all up

better at counting than reading comprehension imo

as far as i can see you counted everything you listed correctly (i skimmed tho, feel free to prove me wrong!). Nice work!

Now, for more practise, you can count
1: suited broadway Qx combos
2: all two pair combos

up to you tho
