Hand id 216332737, literally a couple of minutes ago in the £200 bounty hunter The table is full of calling stations, therefore when deal the Aces under the gun I chose not to limp hoping for action behind as it would probably have gone call call call call call. As it is, my 3x raise had that effect anyway and suddenly I have a bunch of opponents in a pot that's going to get out of control fast. Therefore when it comes flushing I bet big just trying to take it down, not presenting anyone with the odds to hit their flush - however once one has I suppose the other gets the odds - anyway with 2 people on the same flush draw they have less chance, right? Unfortunately turn comes a spade, I realise the mess I'm in, decide that if anyone puts me all in I'm going to call anyway so I may as well put the chips in first and hope for the redraw nut flush if it gets called. Obviously this doesn't happen. So how did I get myself into this horrible situation. Should I have bet bigger preflop, say 5x? (If so, it goes fold fold fold and I've wasted the best hole cards in hold'em, though better to win a small pot yadda yadda...), how about maybe the overbet or the all in on the flop just to take it down? And should I have gotten away when the turn card fell? Majj Posted by Majj
Hand number #218984735 Alias: EEN DYM SnG 30/12/2009 Flopped Quad 10's and still managed to get paid off of them, pretty much doubling my stack and saving my tourney life :P Posted by EEN
Hand number: #220213898 Your alias: crw Tournament name / cash table number: Double Your Money Date and time: 18:27 03/01/2010 A description of what happened and why you would like us to play your hand: I think i was on the SB with A 8 Suited clubs everyone had folded up to me except the button or one under who just called. So on my turn i decided to raise by 3 big blinds (i looked at my position before but decided that because the other players just called and were playing quite tight previously i maybe been able to take it). I believe then that the big blind folded and the caller from the button/1under snap called. This alerted me straight away. The flop came : 7c , Ac , 9h. I decided to place a bet around 1/2 the pot even tho i missed the flush and only hit a ace pair with a mid kicker. i decided to do this because i was the intial raiser before even tho i was alerted by this player for the snap call. Not long into the players turn he pushs all in. I had a think about how this person played this hand and how they previously played hands and i decided to fold. I think i lost about 1200 chips of some 3000 odd. The reason i folded the hand was i believe the player had a Ace with higer kicker or even a ace and another pair. I think the had this hand because they quickly chucked it all in and i had quite a decent reputaion on the table. when they did the snap call pre flop i thought they probs had top connectors as if it was a high ace i would have thought they would have reraised but i suppose they could have been baiting me in. Anyway the reason id like you to have a look at this hand is because i would like to know how you think i played, what improvement i could have made, if i made a good fold, to see what the other player actually had and maybe it might be a good demostration of aces with not the best kicker. There is a couple of things id like to say sorry for. 1 the presentation of my post (i dont post alot) and 2 if i got any of the details wrong from the hand. thanks for looking and considering. may send it as an email coz i really am curious on this hand Posted by Crw

Hi there could you play this hand from my DYM???, I do realize my pre flop raise was too small as I did not want multiple callers but I was distracted at the time, then sure enough the flop looked horrible, my question is did I make a good fold here I put the other player on a OE or flush draw as he bet out 1k, I had enough chips to get the win as did he that makes me think he could have flopped a straight, all in all I figured it was not worth the risk at that point of the stt!

Hand History #241144251 (22:40 11/03/2010) 1k gtd, (1.7k PP) - 360 runners. Standard raise from the button, called. Then the weak donk bet from villain, must be punished. The flat call on the flop screams flush draw! However, he leads again very weak on the turn......Stack sizes mean fold or shove here. I was very very very tempted to shove as I believe he has a flush draw, maybe TJ, TQ suited...... Decided to fold as I have a playable stack still - but my instincts told me to shove here!!! Soooooo wanna know the guys hand......I know I couldnt get him off the draw - but was I ahead???? I went on to finish the tourny in 2nd place - survival I guess, is key. Username - DOHHHHHHH

hi guys wanted your opinion advice comments etc on the following hand. id no241946588 which was played on 25p 50p cash table on sunday 14 march at about 6pm. personally i think my only mistake was calling stoneface initial raise with only an average hand. however once flop came down i dont think i did much wrong. i had him on a big ace or king which was right and dont believe i showed any weakness so how could he make the call on the river i know had the roles been reversed i would have had to fold. he had only just come to table and we have no previous history. would love it if you could show this hand and explain how somebody can make this call. any comments criticisms etc will be gratefully taken on board. many thanks neil purcell. aka callanie.

Hi Tikay, Watched my hands back tonight, James didn't clarify my question on the first hand, although I was ahead pre-flop, hit trips on the turn, then rivered a house. My concern was after the flop, I was last (3rd) to act, after a big bet then a shove all-in. First bet I'm thinking top pair(10s) + top kicker or a higher pair, the all-in is trips from limped-in small pair.
Is calling the turn with AA after a big bet and all-in on a dry flop by two limpers, good long term strategy?

Hi Red_King,
Apologies if you feel I didn't answer your question. I did say in the segment that it's tough to analyse a micro-stakes NLHE game where everyone's short stacked, but I did my best :-)
In this particular hand, I don't remember the guy with QT making a "big bet" on the flop. I think he led out for roughly 3/4 of the pot? So, pretty standard. And, if memory serves me correctly, the player who went all-in (with 77) was super short-stacked - and shoved for roughly 14bbs? In my opinion, in this particular situation, with an over-pair to the board, this is an easy decision - insta-call (or insta-shove, if you want to freeze out the QT merchant)!
As far as "long term strategy" is concerned, bet sizes, stack sizes, opponent's style/range etc. are all significant factors. Poker is situational, so it's impossible to say 'always call' or 'always fold'.

Sorry James, The way I read it, I've got P1 covered with possible T,(A), but with P2 shoving with possible set, I've only got one out to catch P2 up? I'm calling to keep P1 in the side pot. I just thought I got lucky with the A on the turn, which I thought was the only one left in the deck.
