i don't see that many problems there man, of course i'm not the best at analyzing these things but i did read the whole damn thing so i felt obligated to post. the thing to do with sessions like that is to keep on pluggun away, it will eventually pay off, even if you start off losing money.usually the man to read through those and give great advice (sometimes on every single hand!!) is Wrto but unfortunately i think you guys were way out of line and way too tough on him. if he never posts again, i dont blame himi'd pray smash or akishore looks at it, they seem to be the two with the most clue around here.

Yeah, maybe he'll come around and look at it. I was actually trying to defend him a little when I finally got into the whole thing... mostly just stayed out of it though. As for the jerkbags... I had to get your attention. It worked lol

Ok, here I goHand #1Looks good, You bet when you had the best hand and checked when you had the worst hand. I try to avoid situations with top pair and middle kicker by not playing them preflop but you were in the SB so you are okayHand #2Uhhhhh, you folded, you should edit these hands out so we don't waste our times reading them :-)Hand#3Yeah, you are right, you did play this one badly. Are you value betting the flop with the JQ of hearts? You see, by betting the flop, you got yourself into a situation where you had to put this guy on a particular hand, bad news. Okay, so the guy called you down with middle pair and a pair on board, I would say this guy made a worse mistake than you did.Hand#4Jeez man, again, delete things that are unimportantHand#5Solid bet, I don't think there is ever a time where, in late position, I don't throw out a bet on a rancid flop for my PP.Hand#6Okay, preflop looks good, you limp from EP with a small PP, textbook. Danger, danger, do not bet small pocket pairs if they do not hit the board, at least I don't. Okay, turn works for me, you bet, he called the flop bet, you both check. Awwwww, why did you have to bet here? Cmon man! do you really think a bet is necessary here? You have almost bottom pair. What draw could he have been on that would make you think you could take this from him? Granted he probably played his flopped set way too slow, but still. At the maximum you probably should have checked and called, would have saved you a bet.Hand#7Capped pot preflop with KK, WOOOOOPEEEEEEE, but what hands do you put this joker on? Great flop for the KK unless you put the guy on another pair that hit (let's not even consider that). A little aggressive with the reraise here. I'm a little concerned about the guy just calling, a slowplayed set? Queen comes, everyone slows down as they should. 2 comes, I don't know if I am just wierd, but I check on the river a lot, maybe you should have, maybe you shouldn't have, heck if i know.Hand#8I'm confused, why do you call the raise here? Heck, why do you bet here on the flop?Hand#9Yeah, I've never played on Poker Mountain but I have to tell you, I think I would rather take the pot down preflop than not raise KK preflop in a limit game. Again, with the raise on the river after calling the turn.Hand#10Yeah, that raise on the river caught you this time, is that like a thing you just like to do or do you think you get value from it? Oh, and yes, slow down.Ok, I'm bored, Maybe I'll finish this laterHand#11

Hey man. Game No : 1634258613The first one when you completed the bling and the queen came on the flop. I mean you flopped top pair not sure if you should have bet? check called. But funny the guy with the 77 slowplayed his sevens and got busted with a back door flush. I personally would have checked it off. Dont want to get overly involved in that pot. Game: 1634264732 Oh well, you called and folded. I tend not to play too many suited A low connectors. A 10 is my cut off for a call. But if i do call i wanted alot of people in the pot before me.1634311025JQ from first positions is a loose call. However you should have checked off the turn and not bet the river. I would have not even bet in the first place cause not many people in the hand to draw from. Your trying to make alot of money from draws there for play that hand in late position when a few people limp in. As well the board came paired up. Scary flop. 1634341856 scary flop but you weathered the storm! Good bet.1634349366 If you going to play 55 from first position . Raise so you at least go heads up. I know its a pair but you missed the flop completely and got overly involved. I dont like toplay low pairs in first position personally i am sure people will say i am wrong, but i like to raise rather than call low pairs in early position. Or i just dont play them at all there. 1634368507Fold fold fold fold fold 56 unsuited with everyone folding then completing the small blind i would only call that .25 with 4 people in the pot ahead of me.1634383972 Preflop was good. When you reraised his raise you lost some cash then i would have called then check called. the raise on the end was another loss of a buck. 163439749833 first position nah. I know it hurts but save your money. 1634436111Again 55 in early position, That is the only reason why i say raise if you going to play. The at least you got a chance to betonce when the flop comes and steal the pot even if you miss. They will put you on high cards. But i don't recoomend this. 1634440482this hand i would have bet out. Once the flop came down. I think you would have taken this pot . with your draw right there. Bet if you get called. You have enough people in the pot to make it worth your while if you hit. If you would have bet the flop and missed you would have saved save .50 cause it would have got check off to you on the turn. And then you would have seen river for free. Don't sweat the loss btw, It happens.

[Suited_Up 2]

Ok, let me reply to some of the thoughts here...Hand #8.... I don't know, I think it was just too much pokermountain and shorthanded play. Where you have to win some hands with nothing sometimes. Bad play.With 55 in EP... On another site I would raise and try to narrow the field, but on Party Poker it never seems to work anyway, so to me it seems like i'm just wasting an extra bet if I don't hit my set. They don't fold on Party.The raise on the end with QQ was for value yes. I later got a decent read on this player, but at this point I didn't know what she might have. I wasn't really worried about the set, just KK or AA... and she had one of those. Oh well, just seems like bad luck for me on that one.As for Axs.... with the usual 75% of the table seeing flops in these games, I like these hands for the flush or bad 2 pair possibilities. When I do hit the flush it's usually where I make the most money from.Do you guys really fold JQs in early position? Come on... on PartyPoker .50/1.00?Ok, that's it I think... Thanks for the input

I really do fold JQ early position. I play on Party. You can't just figure hey i am on party everyone plays.(thats why playing a bit tighter on party pays off in the long run)What happens if you call from first position and then get reraised. You have to call now a whole buck to see a flop. Thats why you can play it in later position where your less likely to get raised. As well once the flop comes down you have position. You want people in this hand to pay you off when you hit your straight !A suited i can understand it is very hard to not play. The problem with playing A 6 , a7 , a8, a9. I find that it does not even help with a straight. Where A10, AJ, AQ, AK well ... you know Kicker, straight, flush .... The reason i dont play low A Suited is when an ace does fall, many people have a hard time letting go of their A7 when there flush draw does not hit. 55, I really prefer playing these hands in the blinds. or late position. If you call in first position. Then someone raises you stuck calling a raise. Thats why i say raise in first positon then you have a bit of power when the flop comes and you bet. I know people don't fold so that is why i dont play those hands. But if i want to change up my game, i will raise and maybe early on i will bet bet bet and show them my pair 55's so they think i am coo coo. From reading your post with the QQ before you got to the end i knew what she had. AA or KK. I am sure deep inside you knew it too and was hoping for the steal with the raise. It really sucks when you get QQ and the board is low and you get beaten by KK. What can ya do.You have to play very tight on Party Poker. Tighter than any oher site. Too many monkeys there

You have to play very tight on Party Poker. Tighter than any oher site. Too many monkeys thereWhen you figure out why that's wrong you'll probably make more money. Folding 55 UTG on the average 6 limped to the flop, 4 seeing the river Party talbe is just terrible.

[MrConceit 0]

Any hand I didn't mention I think you played fine or it wasn't worthy of mentioning.Overall you played ok, but a bit too loose preflop. KJo and QJo are the devil unless you're in the Button/Co or maybe one before that.I read all the hands you posted but haven't read others responses yet, I'll post this first. I mentioned hands in order, but skipped a lot of them.QJh hand: You didn't play this too badly IMO, but I would have given up on river. And there was no diamond draw, the flop was rainbow. To me it was pretty likely he had the 9, or a PP. Though sometimes 2 overcards will call there, but still nothing will have called flop and turn you can beat really.55 in early hand: It's ok to limp these if there are usually 3 limpers per hand, I'm not sure if your table was that loose. In your actual hand you didn't get as many limpers as you want to play 55 in early, but if you usually were that's an ok preflop call. Postflop I can see taking a stab at it on the flop. And without position you gave up on turn, I like that. River I can KIND of see since he checked turn behind you, but I'd rather check/call at this point if you're not going to fold to a river bet. Let him try to "bluff" if he had nothing. Betting allows him to raise. River play there isn't clear cut though, because of the turn.65o in sb: if you're going to play this generally raise preflop. Betting out is fine as a semi-bluff, though obviously mostly bluff with a gutshot. Calling the raise is ok off implied, and you dumped on turn, all fine.KK hand in late: Yeah you really shouldn't limp, though I hear you if you _had_ been playing on overly tight tables, but people expect CO to raise first in, if they're going to defend they're going to defend, but don't get somebody a cheapo shot with crap or Arag. Ballsy play on the river as the guy was acting like he had trips the whole way, though I guess few party-ers are that aggressive early with trips. I am but most aren't.QQ hand: I wouldn't bother capping flop, see what turn brings and raise there if you want. I don't like your raise on river personally, but obviously you read yourself as best still. Judgement call. It's just the guy still open bet turn after your cap, which if he isn't a crazy play tends to mean TT, KK, AA or set. You only beat one of those likely hands. As far as usually being ahead, people usually call call call at that limit, not 3bet into you and still open bet turn if they don't have really good stuff. But I haven't played .5/1 recently on party, so shrug.33 hand in UTG: Again, after looking at a lot of these hand histories you simply aren't getting enough limpers per flop on average to limp a PP that small UTG. You really want at least 2-3 coming in after you, I don't necessarily see that enough to do 33 UTG, but I'm only seeing some of your hands I think.55 hand in UTG: Same kinda thing as 33. Once you're in the hand, I would have open bet the flop of 944 personally, putting the raiser likely on overcards, but maybe not with 3 others total in the pot. With only 2 others I probably would figuring it'd come down to me and preflop raiser. Good but obvious dump on the turn.83o in BB: On the flop I would have open bet your 1 card open ended straight in the unraised preflop pot. I don't like your turn call. It was going to be HU and you're getting 3.5 to call 1 on a paired board on a 5:1 draw. Your possible implied odds are kinda trashed by the board already being paired imo. Lots of people who flopped a set would have checked this flop to slowplay. It's simply not worth it, fold the turn.A2o in BB where you flopped bottom pair and nut flush draw: I would have bet out on the flop to see where I stand. Beyond that your postflop play was ok. You're likely seeing the river on this one, shrug.KJo in mid: No, I don't think raising with KJo in mid vs 1 limper is correct really, since you're in mid in fact I'd probably fold not even limp. If you were two spots later I'm more ok with your play. I'm fine with betting the flop, either lay down vs the raise on the flop since the guy "obviously has an ace" after coldcalling preflop and raising you on the flop, or on the turn without two pair/trips.QJo in early mid: This is a preflop fold imo. Oh it's down to 7handed this hand, ok maybe a limp then. JTo in BB in a blind battle: Preflop it's fine, though if he's doing it everytime you might 3bet here. Postflop you need to see if he has the ace, I would raise with midpair and see what happens, blind battles are different. I really, really, wouldn't bother betting river. If he was bluffing the entire way he won't call, if he wasn't I don't know what you beat. I mean he might have the pair of 5s or maybe 99, but I don't see the point in betting this river.AKo in sb: Preflop you're good, he looks to be on a steal. Flop bet is obvious, his coolcall kinda sucks, usually a preflop raiser will raise if he doesn't have anything (if he doesn't fold) on the flop. Still betting on the turn is ok. River, I really don't see why you call a reraise after he's cool-called the entire way, you have only A high. The pot is large, but what do you beat that he is raising on the river? It's different if you know it's a tricky player, but if he's normal you will not win here very often.AJo hand: Your postflop is tolerable here, he never showed any strength. He could have some improbable draw on the flop he will fold on the turn with. But he also could have what he did have, a 9. Most people I play with will raise K9o on that flop. Can't do a lot on this hand.

He means, 55 makes some great hands and is a great hand to be going in with in a multiway pot. You should limp with it, try to hit the set and then fold it if you don't. Trying to raise and go heads up isn't going to work, and folding a great draw hand when the pot is giving you odds is insane, this is where people make their money.

[Suited_Up 2]

Hey smash, thanks for going through those for me. I know, real bad with the AK and AJ... stop betting with nothing. Honestly I never did that before I started to play at tight @ss PokerMountain. Gotta re-adjust. So probably threw away a good 5-6BB in there, but I guess other than that I dunno... bad run with decent cards I guess. Thanks for all the input though guys... I did see the problems as I read through myself, but it's good to hear it from others too, so now it'll probably be stuck in my head.

[Smasharoo 0]

I don't know what you mean by this smash? I mean playing tightly in loose games with very large pots is a bad idea.It depends on your definition of "tightly" I guess. Folding 22 UTG is way, way, too tight in a game where it's often 5 to the flop, though.I'm not saying come in with anything, I'm saying folding hands that perform well in large multiway pots is silly if you're playing in a game with large multiway pots. The goal is to make the most money, not lose the least, right?

[Markmadness 0]

OK thanks, I not saying not to play them. I am saying personally i prefer to play them in Late position. Doesn't hurt to limp in though .55 is not a drawing hand and even if you hit your set. and have 6 people in the pot with you. Chances are they will be drawing. So that is why i would say raise in first position and narrow the field if you choose to play it from first. I may be wrong with that theory.

Yes, in a multiway pot, 55 is a drawing hand.

Yeah, you are wrong in this case. We're talking loose tables. You want in cheap,and you WANT the 4-6 limpers. You fold if you don't hit your set on the flop, unless the flop is like 346 rainbow. Raising on a loose table won't get you HU on the flop, and you're just killing your odds.On a crazy-tight table this might be a raise, but few online low-limit tables are ever that tight. Shorthanded is a diff story, real shorthanded I mean 3-4 people. We're not talking about that.

OK thanks, I not saying not to play them. I am saying personally i prefer to play them in Late position.

great post suited up, and thanks smash for the hand for hand advice.....regarding your last post, how can you be sure that 6 will see the flop and there wont be a raise?are you saying you SHOULD call with 55 under the gun?

He's saying it depends on your table, you decide based on the past X hands you've been there. But he'll answer for himself. But if every hand has 6 or more people seeing the flop, and isn't raised preflop a ton, you surely limp 55 UTG.

And so we all agree that limping UTG with small pocket pairs is the best thing to do when you have >= 4 limpers preflop

Actually we talking about limit. But i actually play more sit and go's no limit. I guess i am wrong and thanks for clearing things up. What did you think of my other advice. I marked down. Besides the small pairs.
