There are times when I find myself uncertain as to what the "correct" play is.
I am mostly a tournament player and the examples I have chosen are cash games.
Below I have reconstructed two scenarios which recently occurred and have asked for straight forward analysis of what I should do in each situation.
I hope the EXPERT PLAYERS on here will be generous enough to contribute their knowledge for the benefit of anyone who reads their remarks.
Scenario -#1 – calling a 3 bet large raise pre-flop
2 / 5 game - no straddle
Me: pocket 10’s & under the gun
ug – raise to $15, fold, fold, fold, call, call, fold, fold, fold, BB raise to $85
I have about $300+ behind - BB much more $$$
WHAT SHOULD I DO IN THIS CASE ? ? ? ?
Fold? Call the raise? Go all in ?
I’ll tell you later what I did and why I think it was wrong
Scenario # 2
2 / 5 game - no straddle
Button on seat 7 , me seat 4 (pocket Q’s), hand played as follows –
ug folds, seat 2 bets $45, folds around, I call $45, seat 5 calls $45, rest fold.
FLOP – 5c 6c 3h
Raiser seat2 bets $65, I call, seat 5 folds, now heads up
TURN – 7d
Seat 2 checks……..I check
RIVER – 9s
Seat 2 bets $150
WHAT SHOULD I HAVE DONE HERE ????
Possible straight on the board
Remember, Q’s in the hole, I have about $500 behind, seat 2 much more $$$
Where did I make my mistakes and what were they ? I know what I would do differently now but want the input from some of the “experts” with more table time than myself.
