Nice hand on Stars :)

Ended No. 157/4123 in Stars $1,10 [6-Max, $2,5K Gtd] yesterday. I'm desperately trying to improve my best placing in that tour, which is a third place. But anyway, I had this hand on my way:

I tried to link to BOOM, but it wouldn't allow me to post any URL. How come?

Yay royal, shouldn't this be in wins and fails though?

Win - Royal flush
Fail - every street except river

I'm not that familiar with the forum yet. Maybe an Admin could move it?

Thank you for pointing it out to me :)

Moved to Wins and Fails for you ;)

As Lucothefish said, you might want to look at your play on each street. You complete the small blind with T5o - you're going to be raised and forced to fold a lot, or flop awkward hands to play like 2nd pair with a rubbish kicker out of position where you'll rarely win a big pot but could end up losing one.

I don't mind the flop bet, you've got the 2nd nut flush draw and a gutshot plus he'll fold a lot on that board. The turn bet doesn't achieve anything, either bet bigger (like 1/2 pot) or just check and re-evaluate. River bet seems fine though :)

It's not my experience that the players in these low BI tours raise their BB in a try to protect it that often. It really takes a good hand for most to do so. But you are right ofcourse :)

FLOP: I bet, as I know that if he hasn't hit anything on that flop, and doesn't have a heart, he'll fold.

TURN: I continue to bet to make him believe I have something. I could have checked as you say, but he could then start betting and move me out of the pot, in a believe that I'm not that strong because of my check.

RIVER: I simply hope he has a heart, and believes I'm bluffing :)

That was my way to look at the hand, but you probably know better. But that's the beauty of poker...hands can be played in so many ways, mostly wrong ways :lol:

I'm here to learn, so thank you for input :)

May I ask, am I only allow to make 5 posts per day? How come?
