Asimo 1 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 This is a $500 min buy-in with no cap.How wouild you play these hands? I'll post the outcome and how I played them after a few responses.Hand # 1I have about $900 in front of me (avg stack size $1,000-$1,500). I'm in seat 2 and I am UTG +1 and pick up Ac, Ad. I raise and make it $50. A loose weak player (stack size $800+/-) calls from seat 4, everyone else folds. Flop comes Kd,6d,2d. I bet $80, he raises to $180.How would you play this hand?Hand # 2I have about $1,000 in front of me and I'm in the SB with Ac,As. Tight weak player UTG (stack size $700+/-) raises to $80 PF, everyone folds and I elect to just call. Flop comes 10d,5d,2s. I check he bets $80, I raise to $180, he pushes.How would you play this hand? Link to post Share on other sites
tskillz187 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Raise to $500 in hand 1 and be willing to get all in on shove, or shove on turn if he calls.Call in hand 2. Link to post Share on other sites
David_Nicoson 1 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 How would you play this hand?Hand # 2I have about $1,000 in front of me and I'm in the SB with Ac,As.

I check he bets $80, I raise to $180, he pushes.How would you play this hand?As played, I call the push. You flat called preflop to get action from a smaller pair. Here's the action. It could be a set, but it's not inconsistent with an overpair.I reraise this preflop since I have the nuts out of position. Link to post Share on other sites
Keebs 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 hand 1 i say re-raise and be ready to call his all in, good thing is if he i loose you have a good chance to be ahead already, and if not your on the nut draw.hand 2. i have a question, about this, you say this person is tight/weak? what do you mean by that, is he tight passive, or tight and really don't know what he is doing?. one downer about this hand is your basically getting 1 to 1 on your money (probably a few random blinds also) Link to post Share on other sites
Dubey 1,035 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 on the second hand, its an easy reraise against a weak-tight opponent. If he really is weak tight, the only hands that he is raising 8x bb from early position are going to be monsters. JJ+ and AK probably. get some money in the pot, he probably isn't folding.Smooth calling preflop would be better against a late position raiser who is more likely to have a weaker holding and wouldn't be likely to put a lot of money in preflop, which is what you really want with AA.As played, easy call to his shove, I think he has QQ or KK here most of the time.

mikeysong 0 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 I don't understand why people are opting to shove the flop in hand 1. We've got a pretty solid hand here. I call and get it all in on the turn as he's bound to bet and commit himself to a worse flush draw. If he has it he has it, you're both felting this. If he has the fd, commit him.hand 2 -you completely slowplayed your hand and he may think you're representing the flush. Unless you know he doesn't shove w/out a set, you gotta call.

Asimo 1 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 Hand # 1I played it like a lot of you mentioned. I re-raised to $480, he shoved I called. He flips over Jd,10d and it holds up.Hand # 2I was pretty sure that villian had a high pocket pair and he plays very ABC so I know that he's not getting off an over pair after the flop. This is why I decided to to slow play. I guess I could have re-raised him PF but I didn't want to set off any alarm bells yet.I ended up re-raising and making it $400 total. He pushes, I call and he flips over 10,10. It holds up.I was in the game for $2,200 and thank god some drunk Columbian guy that was wearing a Columbian flag as a cape walked in and sat down with $7,000 while we were down to 5 handed. I took a couple of decent pots down while we were 5 handed and the game broke around 5:30am when 3 player all cashed out.I ended up making a profit of $900. Link to post Share on other sites
Asimo 1 Posted October 20, 2007 Author Share Posted October 20, 2007 How the **** do you get AA so much?This only happens when they get cracked both times.... Last night I'd rather have not had them. After hand # 1 it took me a few hours to build back up and then BAM! get 'em cracked again. Link to post Share on other sites

Jdr999 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 With stack sizes, not much you could do in either hand. Link to post Share on other sites
danc1984 0 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 Both of these hands are pretty standard, you are always stacking off both times here no matter how you play them. Link to post Share on other sites
Acid_Knight 2 Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I agree that both hands are standard. In hand 1, it's a good flop for you and people will stack off with KQ with one diamond on this board.In hand 2, by not reraising preflop, you don't give away your hand. I would almost guarantee taht he plays KK and QQ like this, mabye JJ too. Link to post Share on other sites
