    Default hand combo practice

    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
    2: all two pair combos

    for starters. Post in here.

    Full Tilt No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (9 handed) - Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    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

    Turn: ($13.75) J (2 players)
    BB checks, Hero checks

    River: ($13.75) A (2 players)
    BB bets $5.50,

    1. My answer mod 3 was 2
    2. Why bother? They're all beat.

    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
