Wanted to post just one more I was wondering about. This was early in the game and I had no useful stats on either player.


PokerStars - $0.02 NL (9 max) - Holdem - 8 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 3

MP+1: $5.05
CO: $2.43
BTN: $2.94
Hero (SB): $2.34
BB: $1.88
UTG: $5.01
UTG+1: $3.13
MP: $2.00

Hero posts SB $0.01, BB posts BB $0.02

Pre Flop: ($0.03) Hero has T:diamond: T:heart:

fold, UTG+1 raises to $0.10, fold, fold, fold, fold, Hero calls $0.09, BB raises to $0.28, UTG+1 calls $0.18, Hero calls $0.18

Flop: ($0.84, 3 players) 8:diamond: 3:spade: 5:spade:
Hero bets $0.52, BB raises to $1.60 and is all-in, UTG+1 raises to $2.85 and is all-in, Hero ???

Would it be correct seeing this as an easy fold, thinking they have high pocket pairs or hit a set?

Calling the 3bet preflop to set mine is fine assuming because you're closing the action but betting the flop is just throwing money away. The very reason that calling preflop is profitable (because they both have strong ranges) is the reason leading the flop is a really bad idea. As played fold and kick yourself for wasting .52 postflop.

I shall kick myself extra hard, as I was tilting and you don't want to see the rest of the hand.

When you're playing hands like this you just have to remember why you called preflop. Here it was to hit a set. TT as an overpair with that action is worthless but if you called the shoves you probably had 2 outs (maybe only 1 if one of them had AsXs).

no stats on the guys? because this depends if i call or not. but if only 1 of them is tag i fold, i only call if both are loose aggressive fish.

My session last night was a little crazy. Every table I was at everyone would take off after winning their first hand. Thank you for the advice so far, this site will definitely help me improve my game. For the most part when reviewing my hands I am able to see the best decisions, problem is making those decisions at the table lol.
