$10 NL HE Full Ring: QJs makes top pair against loose(?) villain (Part I)
Hello all,
First time poster in the HA sections. Please bear with my basic questions -- sensible input would be appreciated.
I would like to review a hand that I have played just now. I would like to present it in stages, if that is acceptable, as there were several decisions to make; I am brand spanking new to cash (save your petty requests for my screen-name, etc.), and I want to know what I'm doing wrong.
One could argue that the first thing I am doing wrong is playing without PT3 or HEM; I don't think I am playing enough volume to warrant this (yet). Comments/suggestions here would also be appreciated.
Thanks again, and without further ado:
pokerstars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.10 BB (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
MP ($11.45)
Hero (CO) ($11.70)
Button ($18.75)
SB ($10)
BB ($10)
UTG ($8.25)
Preflop: Hero is CO with J
, Q
2 folds, Hero bets $0.30, Button raises to $0.80, 2 folds
Preflop question(s):
1. Raising with QJs with a tight-table image is reasonable? I was folding the last twelve hands or so (this is roughly twenty-hands in the session).
2. Do I call the Button? He's been splashing around in many pots (perhaps I could say something more definitive with a software tracker...hmm).
