Guys,

Had my first winning session in quite a while. I see so many hands from limit, thought I'd pull out some of the more interesting ones from my 3 hour NL session to get some feedback on. Thanks to all who respond!


#1
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (8 handed)

CO ($4)
Button ($11.95)
SB ($47.80)
dar103 ($14.90)
UTG ($5.20)
UTG+1 ($5.55)
MP1 ($26.15)
MP2 ($13.35)

Preflop: dar103 is BB with 7, 2.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO calls $0.25, Button calls $0.25, SB completes, dar103 checks.

Flop: ($1) 8, 2, 7 (4 players)
SB bets $0.75, dar103 calls $0.75, CO folds, Button calls $0.75. Raise to get rid of flush draws?

Turn: ($3.25) 4 (3 players)
SB bets $2, dar103 raises to $4, Button calls $4, SB folds.

River: ($13.25) K (2 players)
dar103 bets $6.95, Button folds. Would put him all in. Too big of bet?

Final Pot: $20.20
Main Pot: $13.25, won by dar103.
Pot 2: $6.95, returned to dar103.

Results in white below:
dar103 has 7s 2c (two pair, sevens and twos).

Flop: ($1.60) 8, J, 6 (2 players)
dar103 bets $0.75, Button raises to $2.75, dar103 calls $2. Should I have stopped chasing the flush after his raise?

Turn: ($7.10) J (2 players)
dar103 checks, Button bets $1, dar103 calls $1.

River: ($9.10) 5 (2 players)
dar103 checks, Button bets $0.2 (All-In), dar103 calls $0.20.

CO ($9.75)
Button ($11.35)
SB (loose goose) ($9.75)

Flop: ($2.60) K, Q, 4 (5 players)
BB checks, loose goose bets $0.5, MP2 calls $0.50, CO folds, dar103 calls $0.50, BB calls $0.50. I felt like my A would be good if it paired up.

Turn: ($4.60) 9 (4 players)

loose goose bets $1.5, dar103 raises to $3, loose goose raises to $6.5, dar103 raises to $10, loose goose calls $2.30 (All-In). It hit! Let's clean him out!

dar103 has As 8s (flush, ace high).
Outcome: dar103 wins $25.40.

#5 Different table. It seemed like play money with all the pre flop AI's I'd watched before this hand. Decided to try my luck with rockets.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed)

dar103 ($14.75)
MP2 ($10)
MP3 ($10.30)
CO ($31.35)
Button ($16.10)
SB ($15.60)
BB ($4.60)

Preflop: dar103 is BB with J, T.
UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.25, CO calls $0.25, Button folds, SB completes, dar103 checks.

Flop: ($1) Q, K, 4 (4 players)
SB checks, dar103 checks, MP2 checks, CO checks. Should I have made a semi-bluff in this position?

Turn: ($1) 9 (4 players)
SB bets $0.5, dar103 raises to $1.5, MP2 calls $1.50, CO folds, SB calls $1. Should I raise more to force out flush draw?

River: ($5.50) 2 (3 players)
SB checks, dar103 bets $3, MP2 folds, SB folds. Smaller bet here just to get more out of them?

Final Pot: $8.50

Results in white below:
dar103 has Jh Td (straight, king high).

#7 I saw Button bust and reload $10, 5 times in 40 minutes. Needless to say, he's at the top of my buddy list!
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed)

UTG ($24.75)
MP1 ($11.60)
MP2 ($3.40)

Flop: ($1.50) 3, 2, 4 (3 players)
dar103 bets $1.5, BB folds, Button calls $1.50. Flopped the nuts! Make a big bet, maybe he'll put me on an overpair.

Turn: ($4.50) J (2 players)
dar103 bets $1, Button calls $1. Smaller bet, like I'm afraid of the flush.

River: ($6.50) Q (2 players)
dar103 bets $0.7, Button calls $0.70 (All-In). Too bad he's only got $0.70 left for me!

Main Pot: $7.90, between Button and dar103. > Pot won by dar103 ($7.90).

Results in white below:

River: ($2.50) 8 (2 players)
dar103 bets $1, MP1 folds. I can't believe a pair of 6s held up with this board!

Final Pot: $3.50
Main Pot: $2.50, won by dar103.
Pot 2: $1, returned to dar103.

Results in white below:
dar103 has 6h 6s (one pair, sixes).

Flop: ($3.60) J, 8, 4 (2 players)
BB bets $5, UTG+1 folds. Would have hit my set, but a $5 bet from big stack. Not sure what I would have done. Thoughts?

Final Pot: $8.60
Main Pot: $3.60, won by BB.
Pot 2: $5, returned to BB.

Results in white below:
No showdown. BB wins $8.60.

hand 1

flop - RAISE! - count the pot plus the bets, and then maybe even overbet to discourage the drawers

turn - fine

river - good. you've got two pair, but not the best two pair so hit hard


hand 2

pre - why are you raising (and only 2xbb if you are going to raise)? you want people in the hand

flop - fold, odds aren't right to draw (and you don't really have any other outs)


hand 4

pre - min raise again - call or do a real raise. a call might have kept the SB in.

flop - ok call, backdoor, and one over with ok kicker

turn - good

river - perfect!


hand 5 - good read on the table for the preflop AI.


hand 6

flop - small bet might have others put you on a pair rather than a draw but check is fine

turn - you ruined a flush drawers odds, so bet is fine

river - maybe a smaller bet


hand 7

flop - make a big bet - flopped straights can be evil!


hand 8 - good


hand 9 - small pair with a big (5xBB) preflop raise - i hate this! the implied odds are great, but you don't hit a set all that often. i think you're fold is fine.


hand 10 - played fine but be careful with hands like AT off.

overall looks good!
i hate what i have become to escape what i hated being...

1 - Raise the flop
2 - Don't raise pre-flop, put the button all-in on the flop since he's short stacked. Flush draw + 1 over is often a coin flip.
4 - Don't raise pre-flop, otherwise well played
5 - Nice, I don't slow play rockets either
6 - Fine, with a K & Q up it's a tough bluff board
7 - Fold pre-flop, otherwise well done
8 - Nice
9 - You MUST call that raise. Perfect chance to bust the tall stack.
10 - Fold pre-flop. Otherwise fine

this continues to be a source of annoyance in my game because you know the times you don't call the raise, there's your set.

i need to keep saying "one long session" to myself because i know in the long run, calling a raise like the above with a small pair will be profitable.

Very interesting thoughts on #9. I'd never really thought about it in this way before.

Maybe next time I post, I'll try just a couple of hands. In retrospect, 10 is probably too many. Thanks Fnord and Fishstick for taking the time to comment on all of these.
