That is a clear and present raise, probably to .08 or .10.The one thing I noticed running through the hand histories was a lack of aggression from you, preflop or postflop. Maybe it was a function of the table you were at, but when a table is playing a certain way, you should play the opposite. Thus, if it's playing prom night virgin tight like that one was, you need to get more aggressive. If it's playing fast and loose, you need to tighten up. Table analysis is as important as analysis of your own play. Did you raise more than once in that whole run there? And it was the minraise with KK? (as said before, badbadbad)One more note.. on the first tournament hand, when you raised AI with 17.5BBs with 22 from the BB.. take your flop there with 5 limpers in front. With 22, you really don't want multiple calls, and you're likely to get them there. Setmine, fold to a bad flop, realize you still have a level to play with.

    LOL Hi.. Name's Kendren. Been at another forum for the last few years. Still checked in here now and again... XXEddie knows of me, I think. Never been much of a strat poster, never felt my vast $5er and .25/.50 experience would help anybody. Thought I'd chime in on a couple questions here recently, though.I hope to chime in some more around here.. OH and O/8 have always been the redheaded stepchildren around here. Keep fightin the good fight!

    its also funny nobody voted for bet out when that is clearly the second best choice.
    Truly. I voted check/fold. It's the classic trap... sure, you got the nuts now, but any low is freerolling you. Leading out will earn you much more information, and possibly give you control of the pot. But with the pot size, c/f is the best option.

    I agree with you, we want to get as many chips in there as possible. We'd also like to possibly fold out someone with a better hi right here on the flop, otherwise you're getting your chips in hoping not to be quartered. While I would like to see a pot on that flop after the action, I can see an argument to build the pot by flatting. But to me, pot>>>>>>>>>>>>>>call>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>fold. Minraising doesn't figure in there. :club:

    :club: I would think it would be fairly obvious why. What are you hoping to accomplish? If you're trying to control the pot, why are you raising? If you're trying to fold A8xx or A5xx, why aren't you potting? You've reopened the action to the flop raiser.. if the better or the raiser 4-bets, are we calling? If we are, why not try to gain control, maybe fold the flop better, and pot this? If we're going to fold to a 4-bet, why did we raise at all? Idiocy.

    How Do You Play These 7's?

    In my experience in $5 FTP STTs (which is about all I play), you have 2 types of player that will do this out of the BB. They'll call your PF raise with ATC, and lead at any flop (I saw it on TV!), and are willing to fold to a pop. Then you have those that have seen those players, and think you'll pop them with your decent hand while they're sitting with a monster. By your description, if you've figured him for loose, I'd cal him the former. Raise the flop to 700, I'm not enamored with an all-out shove. If he wants to play for all his chips, you still have enough left behind at this level to make a decision.My first instinct when seeing the action was "Utter bluff". 80% of the time, leading out in this manner is weakness.

    If your numbers are at all true, you have to be up against a set here. l/c/c pre, 2 bets each called on flop, popped the turn when FD presents.. EDIT: I could see calling down to check your sample numbers. I wouldn't call that bad play. But I'm certain we're beat here.

    If you arent getting it in here in a 3 dollar sng, I would recommend not playing PLO. Against said opponent Id high five the monitor then click call all day long.Jeff
    Or high five the dog, your mom, your Chewbacca figurines.. whomever, just get it in there. wp, forget the guy who berated you as a fish when you hit against his set.

    You're way ahead of CO, so all we have to worry about is MP1 and MP2. To showdown with them we are only risking half our stack and there are only 2 hands that bother us. I really can't find any reason to fold here. I reraise all in and make MP1 & 2 risk their tourney to come along.
    I disagree with this. If CO has an A or K and one of the MPs calls with any pair, we're not in real decent shape. pokenum -h ah ks - ad 8c - 7c 7d Holdem Hi: 1370754 enumerated boardscards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EVKs Ah 490367 35.77 852162 62.17 28225 2.06 0.3688c Ad 247890 18.08 1094639 79.86 28225 2.06 0.1917c 7d 604272 44.08 763359 55.69 3123 0.23 0.442Worst case, one of them has us destroyedpokenum -h ah ks - qs 5d - ac as Holdem Hi: 1370754 enumerated boardscards win %win lose %lose tie %tie EVKs Ah 79536 5.80 1276004 93.09 15214 1.11 0.063Qs 5d 182114 13.29 1184333 86.40 4307 0.31 0.134As Ac 1093890 79.80 261650 19.09 15214 1.11 0.803So to say you see no reason to fold here, is silliness.

    My impression of low-stakes players is that they're usually pretty passive, and I'd be surprised if the typical villain at this level would c/r with less than AJ.
    I agree with this, you're not going to find too many at this level raising that. You're more likely to be getting raised by air than a weak ace, and neither are very common. And if they're going to raise the flop with Ax spades, why would they not 3-bet shove the turn? Spades make no sense here.
