What did I do wrong?

Hi,
This effing beat just took the wind out of my sails.. I understand she's got a gut shot chance, but look at how many bets this person called pre-flop UTG.

Should I have raised? Would it have mattered?

Hey there. Doesn't seem like you had too good a night does it?

First off, you're playing $0.5/$1. Lots of folks have plenty of $$ to throw away so they'll play this level, call with anything and "gamble." If you wanna make money off them you have to put yourself in the right frame of mind. That frame of mind is that you WANT people calling with crap like K5o and 62s when you have better hands. In the LONG RUN, which is what you have to focus on, those hands will lose out to yours more often than not.

The one thing I see here in all 3 hands, you're in terrible position. You're in early position in multiway pots. When you're in early position, the more opponents you're against the harder the flop has to hit you. If it misses, you really gotta consider folding to some aggression unless you feel that your hand is still the best.

Hi,
This effing beat just took the wind out of my sails.. I understand she's got a gut shot chance, but look at how many bets this person called pre-flop UTG.

#Game No : 996517071

KING FRIKING 5 offsuite... are you kidding me? Please tell me I played this wrong so I can sleep tonight.

Aces in the small blind against 2 opponents. Not a great situation (I've folded aces from this position before, after seeing the flop came rather threatening and having 6 or so preflop-limpers in front of me all get aggressive with the betting), as they both have position on you. Raise preflop was correct and bet on the flop was correct. After that the person who had been passive preflop and on the flop suddenly gets aggressive when a possible straight appears. At this point you gotta go by your read on this person: does she play trash? does she only come out firing when they've got a solid hand? She's not trying to slow down the betting on the turn, so is it likely that she has a made hand (she was open-ended, btw, it wasn't a gutshot) and is now raising for value?

Is it possible you saw aces in your hand and weren't concerned about the others because you feel aces are supposed to hold up all the time? (*whispers* they aren't going to so get used to it)

check-call to the river after her raise on 4th street is what you should have done (or you could have folded if you had a good read)

Also I think I should have called here, but I knew he had me beat on the turn...

AQ under the gun. Yuck. Correct to limp preflop, but you might have thought about re-raising since you were suited, especially with someone all-in. (offsuit you probably just call here) However, slowreader likely thought he had the best hand, especially with your passive calls.

Flop comes fairly non-threatening. If it was me I'd have bet out to see what was out there, or check-folded having missed the flop and the pot wasn't big enough to justify chasing with only 6 (or as it turns out, only 3) outs, especially against a single opponent who has position on you. Any money you put in after your opponent bets is the flop is wasted. Maybe he had something, maybe he didn't, but YOU didn't have the odds to continue at that point. You've got to fold on the flop.

And finally this is what ended my session....

Should I have raised? Would it have mattered?

I hate Ace-Jack. Hate it with a passion because it's a difficult hand to win with. Even worse is trying to win with it from early position. Also, I almost guarantee chaudawg had a better hand than you preflop (looks like Kings or Queens).

Limping early is fine, especially out of the big blind. And the flop hits you prety well. At this point you're betting into a multi-way field with a draw out there. Good bet, and since chaudawg doesn't raise it's likely your pair of aces is good, but you should be asking yourself why is Tazman calling?

Turn pairs the board. Makes your hand stronger. Good to bet again. But both call. At this point you're REALLY wanting them both to fold but they don't. c'est la vis I'm convinced Tazman is drawing to the spade flush.

River makes a possible flush. Could be Tazman's made his draw. The only thing you get here by betting is a raise or fold. Check-call if you HAVE to know, or check-fold if you're more than 85% convinced Tazman made his draw. (because the pot ~$8, you've got to be correct to fold in this position more than 1 in 8 to make money off it)

Also, Tazman missed a raise there. I'd have raised since I'd have known you were going to pay me off or even re-raise me.

[Fnord]

Hand 1:
With a single card straight out on the turn, I'd either call it down or fold right there.

Hand 2:
Raise pre-flop, bet the flop and go from there.

Hand 3:
Well played. Maybe raise pre-flop. Be glad he was too passive to raise the river.
