| Poker Blind Spot Hi All, I seem to have developed a blind spot in my game. It has caught me out at least three decent sized pots in the last month or so. It happens when I have a pocket pair, ie TT JJ 99 etc and the board comes say 483. I have an overpair to the board, but then get caught by someone with a bigger pocket pair. My 99 beaten by JJ, my JJ beaten by QQ etc etc. I raise a decent amount, the person might re-raise, i typically come over the top and then get snapped off. Dont even know what sort of help to ask for but this is starting to annoy me...... CuttleFish I never seem to see it coming. |

| Know your opponent. In your example, 99 isn't the best hand to push all in on, you are behind a lot of hands. QQ nearly falls into this category as well. For example, you lead preflop with QQ and get raised by the rock in seat 4 that has played 2 hands in 2 hours. Be very afraid. |

| This one happened to me yesterday: 2/5 NL live cash game Short handed, 5 players BTN: $ 500 SB: $200 BB $ 220 UTG $ 180 Hero $ 210 Pre-flop Hero has JJ. \UTG folds Hero raises to $25 BTN folds SB folds BB (Villain) calls. Flop is 3 7 9 rainbow. BB checks Hero bets $25 (bad sized bet? think it looked weak) Villain BB raises to $50 Hero goes all-n Villain calls and shows QQ I think his check on the flop threw me? He seemed like he knew what he was doing so I assumed he would have raised with a decent pp, thats why I didnt put him on it. I read it that he was reading my $25 as weak and trying to push me off the hand. |

| re: Poker Blind Spot this is one example from yesterday but it is pretty much exactly the same situation that has caught me out a few times lately. If it is just standard, then no big deal. It just feels to me like I am missing something. |

| buy in for at least 100 BBs. with little more than a pot-sized bet left you are felting an overpair especially vs. lolliveament players. If you're playing full ring online NL10 and a 4/0 nit calls from the sb vs. your UTG open you can pretty safely b/f the 725r flop with QQ but here, with no 3-bet pre it's pretty much impossible to put the guy on QQ+ unless he was a total retardo nit (these players do in fact exist in live games) Last edited by baudib1 : 22nd December 2011 at 8:13 AM. |

| hi baudib, thanks. so you think me not being topped up to 100BBs was significant here? It did feel that way as I didnt have a lot of moves left. Actually now i think of it, this has been the same for all the ones that have annoyed me.......... Excellent point, thanks. btw, what does "felting" mean? |
