    I'd raise a bit smaller pre unless theyre complete stations, also raise smaller on the flop to keep draws/worse aces etc in and call a shove.

    Also when you post the hands its better to leave out the results (i.e. what your opponent actually had) so you can get unbiased responses.

    ty YB for your responce, don't laugh but I left the result in cos im dead good at fogetting what happened and if i called..pushed...etc! hahaha
    brain like a goldfish! I will post more as they come up and would be great if you could keep giving me your views :)

    HAND 2
    Here I was limping in hoping to hit flush draw..... this is where I can get tangled in a messy flop and forget what i was actually looking for to begin with.

    looks like he has pocket 2's in the 1st one Julie.

    fold and you will get him next time.


    2nd one surely you raise the river and most times your winning.

    If u fold the 2nd ill send u to the kitchen for a time out!!!

    If in doubt, JUST call. If ur confident u r ahead, (think about how this guy has played before, how he bets good hands, how he bluffs, etc) then raise, but NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER fold !
  • edited August 2010
    dont raise the river in the second one they've shown alot of strength  just call and make a note.
  • edited August 2010
    also you need everyone to be deepstacked to 'go for a fd' limping preflop. If you wanna play that hand raise. If not dont limp.
  • edited August 2010
    yea lead out in hand 1 ad dont ever fold, call river hand 2 raising is just bad as we realisically only have a bluff catcher here because our kicker is so small
