Thanks, guess a raise might be good there.

No don't raise it. If the tables loose you know they are gonig to call so why put more money in with 9 high?? He said you should fold since it's loose, a raise here doesnt do anything,

[bobbywithani 0]

yeah, sorry misread it at first.

[Guest XXEddie]

Thanks, guess a raise might be good there.

see above, plus i already explained how a raise would be bad

No, a raise is horrible.Fold preflop.Fold on the flop because you dont have odds to cahse a gut shot.Eddie, come on.

I mean I just got SSHE and was thinking about the "make looser calls at a loose table, but tighter bets"HORRIBLE call. Being looser is better. Limping with 79o is chip spewing. As mentioned, if you do insist on playing this, raise as then you might be able to get people to fold.FLOP [board cards 10D,6D,2H ]sallymack checks, 2keys checks, Vazquez. checks, bobbywithanI bets $0.25, fernhilly calls $0.25, sallymack calls $0.25, 2keys calls $0.25, Vazquez. folds.Ok betting on a gutshot, not really my style ussually, but it was checked to me.More chip spewing. There's 5 people in the pot and your only reasonable out is a gushot straight with nowhere near the proper odds to call.TURN [board cards 10D,6D,2H,9C ]sallymack checks, 2keys checks, bobbywithanI bets $0.50, fernhilly folds, sallymack calls $0.50, 2keys calls $0.50.Got a pair, figured since noone raised my flop bet this might be good enoughBased on earlier action I think you're right here and now you have more outs with two pair, trips or the gutshot should someone have the 10.RIVER [board cards 10D,6D,2H,9C,8H ]sallymack checks, 2keys checks, bobbywithanI bets $0.50, sallymack calls $0.50, 2keys folds.You've hit the wonderful 8 so clearly you have to bet this now :wink: Final Pot 9 BB

In short, fold this preflop. To be blunt, reread chapter 2 of SSHE. The way to be looser is more like limping with things like A5s and small pocket pairs, not trash.Zara

Misread your post.My bizzad.

Alright, thanks. I thought I just got lucky, but wanted to ask ya'll to make sure. I've been trying to loosen up some because I usually play really tight. Guess I should never make myself that loose.

No, not really. However, you have two good things in your favor:1) You've read SSHE and are trying to implement what it reccomendsAND2) You want, accept and appreciate honest feedback about hands.Keep up the learningZara
