What should be corrected in playing those premiums?

    Default What should be corrected in playing those premiums?

    This session was one big slick fest, even my rockets got cracked by AK (allins preflop)

    I know, those hands may be pretty boring, but those situations (missed flop on AK, hit flop ang get raised, hit draw, hit gutshot+overs, getting reraised preflop) were my weakest points, I dont want to get destacked by some dumb mistake...

    What about postflop play in those hands?

  2. #2
    Hand#1: With somany people seeing the flop and you being in early position there is really no reason to chase with 2 overs and a 3rd best flush draw. Fold on the flop

    Hand #2: Bet much more on the flop, with so many people in you do not want to let people see the turn for cheap. Bet at least 3/4 of the pot, if you are reraised act according to your reads or fold with no reads

    Hand#3: Hard to judge without a read, the fact that they are not suited is not the factor to consider. Most likely you are facing a coinflip - QQ, JJ,TT,99 or low PP, with a small chance you are dominated (AA, KK) or dominating (AQ, AJ, total bluff)
    Without a read I would call

    Hand#4: I dont consider KQs premium hand, and raising with it preflop from MP is an invitation to trouble. Dont be afraid to play this hand multiway.

    Hand#5: Nicely played

    Hand#6: If you see that 5BB raises do not scare anyone raise more, you dont want the pot to be so multiway

    wearing the honors of honor and whatnot
    cut out the limp dicked flop bets. otherwise good.

    oh, and on hand two, i would consider reraising with AK there on a table that calls like this. if not, bet the flop harder, bet like 4 to start with, if you get reraised go ahead and push the flop.
    i betcha that i got something you ain't got, that's called courage, it don't come from no liquor bottle, it ain't scotch

    hand 1
    hmm maybe raise 4bbs instead of 3 (was it unusual to have half a table of callers or just a one off?)
    the flop missed you. Have a bet if you really want to be aggressive but you are oop so checking is probably the right play. Yeah you have AQ but it missed, fold to the action.
    hand2.
    im not an advocate of reraising AK so i would call here, but id check the flop oop then hit hard with the reraise. If he calls or pushes i make a big bet if the turn is blank and thus make him make tough decisions. As it is you got him all in which is perfect.
    hand3
    good fold for me. If you get reraised like that he has a big made hand. If you know you can out play opp under normal circumstances then no need to call that.
    hand4
    yes i like betting here too. As you were the preflop raiser the seeming continuation bet is sound but anyone who caught that flop should reraise you. I like the play keep doing it so long as people dont start getting a read on your draw betting.
    hand5
    again yes you had AK but it missed
    id check here for a free card, if i dont get one i fold it. No need to chase or try to buy this one.
    hand 6
    id bet both the flop and turn here repping the queen to see if i can push opps off their hands. Again, problem here is so many preflop callers than continuation betting almost seems pointless. Again either raise more preflop and bet hard at the flop or raise as you did here and be prepared to check flops you miss

    In the first hand, raise more than 3xBB with AQ if you desire isolation. You have to feel out the raise required for isolation if that's what you intend to do. I don't care if it's 10xBB. If you WANT isolation, then find out how much it's going to take to get it. Of course, whether you want isolation for the price of 10xBB is another matter, but I'm just making the point. Think on your feet according to the table image.

    In the KQ hand, don't raise at all from early position. It's king high, and you're in trouble postflop unless you flop real hard. Furthermore...

    The table you're at is loose. What that means is your value gets transfered from preflop to postflop. The looser the table, the more you want to put money in postflop instead because implied odds are increased (postflop equity). What this means is what you lose in not protecting a premium hand enough preflop (which is sometimes fruitless when 5-6 people call a raise anyway), you gain is post flop equity when you hit because people are calling bets with all kinds of stuff. Get value when you make a hand. A lot of the isolation advice you read applies to tighter tables.

    Position is much more important than you realize. Don't take up the minset of not wanting to limp something like AJo from early because you're stubborn. It's a losing proposition. The bigger the pot gets, the more you feel committed to it, and before you know it you're in a bad place. Don't start committing from early position unless you flop a hand you like. Preflop raises are committments.
    It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
    Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.
