I just realized that this is similar to how I got knocked out of Sunday's event!<br /><br />I moved all-in on the turn because I put my opponent on a flush. I had top pair and inside straight draw. My opponent called--and I was right!<br />He had nothing--just a flush draw.<br /><br />It was such a big overbet, he thought I was bluffing?<br /><br />He had 9 outs...and hit it. Ouch!<br /><br />MitchellMitchell Cogerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535441676137750538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896782453039680129.post-17908926866711136152009-08-31T10:02:32.920-07:002009-08-31T10:02:32.920-07:00Thanks for your comments!

It looks like there are problem...Interesting hand. It looks like there are problems with it straight from the turn, not necessarily the river. Poker is like chess, you need to think a few steps ahead. Check/calling a huge potsized turn bet with the plan of check/folding a small bet on the river when it basically blanks is pretty weak, IMO. <br /><br />(note: you are out of position right?)<br /><br />Letting an aggressively player take the lead is not necessarily a bad move i dont think. If you think you have the best hand, and you want to try to keep the pot size small, let the bugger bluff at it, and/or build the pot. <br /><br />PREFLOP: <br />- i personally hate limp limp limpies. Since you are the third player, i guess limping is okay. I find that even a raise is cool here, take control, be aggressive. I'd personally raise or fold. If it was suited, and more connected, i may be more prone to playing it. <br />- nevertheless, limping i dont mind so much here. No big mistakes yet. <br /><br />FLOP:.<br />- when a solid player leads out, id rather see a raise from two pair - you gotta see how he reacts to aggression. He is likely betting out KQ, OJ and maybe at the top of his range AQ, right? raise for value and to see wehre you are at. <br />- when the aggressive player raises, i think the flat call is fine. Keep the pot small, and see what's going to happen. Aggressive players are unpredictable... be weary.<br />HOWEVER, I HATE THAT YOU HAVE RELINQUISHED COMPLETE CONTROL HERE. You have not shown ANY aggression, playing it weak, just calling calling calling - NOT A GOOD STRATEGY, IMO! <br /><br /><br />TURN:<br />This is where i think the biggest mistake of the hand is. Check/calling 11k. <br />- Think, what does he have? at the bottom of his range he might have a bare Q. But is that likely? against Luske maybe? how has he been playing that day? Could he be going nuts with a flush draw. <br />- it is more like that you are beat, but more importantly, you are beat in the fact that you do not have any control in the pot. <br />- check/calling is so weak especially when on the river...<br /><br />RIVER<br />... you check/fold a relatively tiny bet! <br />- what is your thought process here? Why are you check/calling, putting an opponent on a flush draw, then check/folding when the 7 came? are you worried he made the straight with 45? does he have 45 of clubs? <br /><br />Lets break down the possible hands: <br />- KQ (seems only somewhat likely, but not really)<br />- Ax spades, Kx of clubs (prob with a pair?)<br />- AQ<br />-45o or 45s<br />- 66 or 33 for a set. <br /><br />you dont beat much so fine, fold. BUT! its only 5k, and you check called so many streets. I think the problem was on the turn. you seemed to have no read and no plan of attack. <br /><br />This hand is ridden with problems. I like it. <br />Thanks for sharing!!! I hope my comments make sense. <br />-themavhttp://twitter.com/pokerwithnoreply@blogger.com
