I haven't posted any HH for awhile as I have been doing most of my HH reviews in IRC. I'm going through todays session which over all was a good session as I ended up a little of 4.5bi's. I still have so many leaks to fill so your help would be appreciated.

1. Really what I am looking for here isn't so much a review of this particular hand but I guess more opions on when do you get away from "BigSlick?"

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

UTG+1 ($1.74)
MP1 ($5)
Hero (MP2) ($2.27)
MP3 ($5.30)
CO ($5)
Button ($1.79)
SB ($14)
BB ($3.19)
UTG ($5.06)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with A, K
1 fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.12, 1 fold, Hero raises to $0.42, 5 folds, UTG+1 calls $0.30

Flop: ($0.87) 9, 4, 2 (2 players)
UTG+1 checks, Hero bets $0.24, UTG+1 raises to $1.32 (All-In), Hero ??

Again not really concerned about this hand but in general should I even have bet this? Check/fold more appropriate?



2. So this one goes along the same line as previous question. Should I have even been in this after the flop?

3. Villian is 14/6/20 over 97 hands. Not a lot of reads other than that. I know the flop bet really sucks and I am really working on getting over that "Gee I got a monster and I don't want to scare villian away" mentality.

Just a few to look at if you would. Main thing I really need to figure out how to play the almost monsters, ie; AK

Ok so I have to share this one cuz it really made me laugh. Not posting as a bad beat just a WTF moment!

First "Bad beat" post for me and I'm not really bitching but I just couldn't fucking believe it! Had only been at the table for one orbit not that it matters in this hand as it is standard as to my options.

Now I have to admit I talked a little smack but not near as much as I wanted to! Then I brushed it off and made sure it didn't effect my game in anyway. I was very disappointed when dumbass left like 5 hands later.[/b]
