First orbit... did I do anything wrong??

[chardrian]

Hand #1 - I was gonna fold the turn but figured I'll show to show I don't raise with crap. Now with no read is the fold the right play here (which is what I wanted to do) - or do you still advocate the call to the end? This time with no reraise I was positive one of them had the K.

At 3/6 people bluff a lot less than at 2/4 and in my experience often less than at 5/10. Save yourself some money if you have no read trust that they have what they are representing most of the time.

i would have to agree with fnord on this one...

[elipsesjeff]

Crack, got to be. Mmmm, peanut butter and crack sandwiches.

And please use the converter next time.

[chardrian]

Sorry about the converter. Didn't use it cuz I didn't have time to go through and change all the : to =. My computer is slow so playing two games at once and posting that was hard enough. But gotta agree about the drugs.

Now 5 max 10/20 on the other hand on paradise, is basically just a bluff fest - I'm still unsure what the theory is at that game, but damn people protect their blinds as if they were that last hit of junkie's smack.

[chardrian]

Ok it's been edited with the converter.

Am I correct that my mistake in all of these was not looking at the pot when I was chasing? Hands 4 and 6 especially - fold on flop was the right move??

Or 7-8 outs ok to call the flop and try to get my K T or club (to go for runner runner) on hand 6?

[Fnord]

Hand 2: Bet the turn
Hand 4: fold the flop, between the draws and 2 overcards you will get beat by SB or UTG+1 at showdown too often. Also, consider that you're drawing to the sucker one-off broadway straight. A great hand to pay someone off with.

i second that.

when i play 3/6, i call down with middle pair alot and win. its mecca for bluffing.

[chardrian]

Yeah hand 4 was dumb - I was tilting/forgetting I wasn't at a 5 player max table.

Hand 2 - why bet the turn? 6 outs not bad/maybe winning hand? If I bet out do i fold to a raise? If I just get called do I bet an empty river as well?

Hand 6 - ok how I played or too loose?

You might have the best hand, they might fold and you might catch up. The union of those says bet and fold to a raise.

Hand 6 - ok how I played or too loose?

The pre-flop call is a little loose, but I gave up being a pre-flop Nazi long ago. It really depends on how well you think you play compared to the lemmings. Post-flop the flop call is kinda loose, but the backdoor flush + over gives you enough extra to make it. Meh.
