hi, Im a beginner too , as you know. Im not sure on the correct way to play it , but Ill exlain what would have gone through my head as the hand unfolded

UTG ($3.30)
Hero (MP) ($4.85)
Button ($5)
SB ($1.44)
BB ($7.03)

Preflop: Hero is MP with 10, J
UTG bets $0.08, Hero ??

At this point, I would think about UTG 4xbb raise . What might he hold for a for this kind of raise ? how often has he been raising 4xbb ? the hud stats would give me some clues.Have you got your poker tracker or holdem manager yet?

lets say , you have no reads, because you havent given any.

Ill guess he 4xbb , (its not UTG,its 2 off the button, thaks SPoon) with the top 4% , just to be safe, cos there are no reads.

99+,AQs+,AKo is the range ill assign him . And Ill use Pokerstove


32.139% { JcTc }
67.861% { 99+, AQs+, AKo }

Looks like hes way ahead,perhaps its a fold, save $$ for a better time



Moving on...

Hero calls $0.08, Button calls $0.08, 1 fold, BB calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.33) 2, 9, 10 (4 players)
BB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $0.26


Top Pair , crap kicker, UTG didnt Cbet, perhas I can take the pot out here and now, worth a stab.
, Button calls $0.26, BB calls $0.26, 1 fold

Turn: ($1.11) 7 (3 players)
BB checks, Hero ???


The buttons still intrested, I think Im beat, I dont want to invest any more money in this pot,im OOP. save my $$ for a better time. Check and fold to any pressure.So what if it shows weakness.

Hes probably got AT , KT, 2 high spades , everything that beats me.

Hero bets $0.74, Button calls $0.74, BB calls $0.74

River: ($3.33) A (3 players)
BB checks, Hero???


SHIT , Theres his second A , thats me stuffed ,Check and fold to a raise.


Hero bets $1, 1 fold, BB calls $1

Total pot: $5.33[/quote]

Ive not done anything scientific , and I might be way out.

Just my thoughts, hope it helps.

In the future , when you improve, Ill remind you to come back and look at your first BC posts, trust me , you will wet yourself.
