How Could I Have Played This Differently


Recommended Posts

I want to start this by thanking everyone on here. I have been lurking here for a couple of weeks as I am new to FT. I will start this by saying that I generally play 1/2 NL on two other sites, but have decided not to do that here b/c I am only depositing $600 to get the full bonus. That being said, I think I am having a difficult time adjusting to the play at this limit. I'm getting my money in good and taking some really bad beats and then I'm making mistakes not being able to put someone on a hand. I'll give you the case in point.I've been playing at a table with the the villain for about 50 hands. He is playing fairly solidly (VP$IP=18.75, TA A), stealing blinds, and seeming to have some trouble getting away from hands. He's already stolen my blinds about 3 times when the following hand happens.FullTiltPoker Game #4810997697: Table Streamer - $0.25/$0.50 - No Limit Hold'em - 18:01:59 ET - 2008/01/10Seat 1: PaidHax0r ($40.25)Seat 2: possborus ($19)Seat 3: Davidmb88 ($19.50)Seat 4: hugeripkenfan ($17.05)Seat 5: dirty-muffs ($19.50)Seat 6: Pimpsempire ($7)Seat 8: raggles ($20.95)Seat 9: craftylefty18 ($51.60)craftylefty18 posts the small blind of $0.25PaidHax0r posts the big blind of $0.50The button is in seat #8*** HOLE CARDS ***Dealt to PaidHax0r [Ac 3c]possborus foldsDavidmb88 foldshugeripkenfan foldsdirty-muffs foldsPimpsempire foldsraggles foldscraftylefty18 has 15 seconds left to actcraftylefty18 raises to $2PaidHax0r calls $1.50*** FLOP *** [5s 2d 4s]csaf4818 sits downcraftylefty18 has 15 seconds left to actcraftylefty18 bets $3csaf4818 adds $10PaidHax0r raises to $7craftylefty18 raises to $49.60, and is all inPaidHax0r calls $31.25, and is all incraftylefty18 shows [Qs Qd]PaidHax0r shows [Ac 3c]Uncalled bet of $11.35 returned to craftylefty18*** TURN *** [5s 2d 4s] [4c]*** RIVER *** [5s 2d 4s 4c] [As]craftylefty18 shows two pair, Queens and FoursPaidHax0r shows a straight, Five highPaidHax0r wins the pot ($77.50) with a straight, Five high*** SUMMARY ***Total pot $80.50 | Rake $3Board: [5s 2d 4s 4c As]Seat 1: PaidHax0r (big blind) showed [Ac 3c] and won ($77.50) with a straight, Five highSeat 2: possborus didn't bet (folded)Seat 3: Davidmb88 didn't bet (folded)Seat 4: hugeripkenfan didn't bet (folded)Seat 5: dirty-muffs didn't bet (folded)Seat 6: Pimpsempire didn't bet (folded)Seat 8: raggles (button) didn't bet (folded)Seat 9: craftylefty18 (small blind) showed [Qs Qd] and lost with two pair, Queens and FoursAs you can guess, he was flaming pissed and reloaded.

Okay, I didn't look at any of these. Do you want to know why? You didn't convert any of them. Please post these hands in the NL Hold'em cash game section and follow the posting guidlines. You don't want to have to feel Zach's wrath.
