Needing some help with hand analyses, hope u guys can help

Kolehmainen · Aug 9, 2014

Hey!

I am a semi new at poker, i know the game and i've played before etc with friends and online etc.. I do call my self a beginner just because i do feel unsure in some situations like theese i might write here and hopefully you guys could help me out to become a better player

I am playing on micro stakes atm, 0,01-0,02

The hand i wondering abaut now:

..I have pocket queens

I 3 bet the big blind to 0,06, everyone folds expect one, he calls and..

Flop comes, 8,3,3

I check to him

And the guy bets 0,33dollars..

I folded..

He obvs didnt show hes hand but i dont know, did i make a wrong decision?

So its theese kind of situations i become unsafe and i eather call sometimes if i have pocket aces or kings maybe but theese kind of flops makes me unsafe..

Edit: I play on pokerstars atm, i live in europe so many of the other good US sites are not availble here..

Pleace help me guys

you QQ beats most of his calling range
on 833, you only lost to something like 88, A3, unless he is ultra loose.
give the fact that he did not reraise you preflop, we ignore over pair, KK,AA is not in his range.

and his leading range has a lot , 22-TT, JJ maybe, and A high, or two overs.
based on that, folding is not a good idea.

I would call his maniac raise all the way to showdown. see what happens.

you are going to learn a lot on this site my friend

99.999% that is never a fold,
why did you only check flop?
what do you think he has?
how has he been playing all game- loose aggressive, tight...??

theres always many variables to each hand,
which you will come to learn if you stick around (welcome BTW)

one piece of advise, if you only play premium hands and fold if you're scared of the board,
people will exploit you,
then you'll think poker is rigged when someone takes your stack with 27o

this is a more complex game than I could even understand and Ive been at it long time, always (well kinda) trying to learn and improve

you only play cash tables?
6 or 9(10)man?
multi table? take notes?

man theres so much I can say but dont want to overwhelm you

look around the forum,
read what you think is for you right now (learning poker section might be best)
keep posting hands like this and you'll be a star (or at least hopefully a breakeven or winning player) soon

gl to you

The fold was not the correct play as XXP said you can eliminate his range being AA, KK as he would of 3betted your raise pre. I would of c/r the flop.

Ty for the info guys!

Everythig is kinda knew still but im learing more and more each day and each hand..

Wont make that misstake atoher time btw

Facts abaut my playstyle/table etc..

I play 9man tables, 2 tables usually.. 0,01-0,02 dollar stake...

I do play tight, but i do 3 bet pre flopp with hands like AA, KK and QQ now.
I do like to play suited hands with aces in them, have had som good results with em, i usually only limp in with theese kinds of hads bc i dont want to spend to much money on theese kinds of hands..

I have deposit just 1 time and had thoose money since i started so i dont loose alot, sometimes i am even up a few dollars then i might be down 4-5 dollars then i bounce back a couple dollars etc, thats the way it turns out atm..

I played like this one hand just 1 minute ago.

Holding AK UTG

3 bet pre flopp, everyone folds expect one, he calls..

Flopp comes A,8,6

I bet 0,06 and he just calls..

Turn comes 4 and i bet 0,04 and he just limps..

River comes and its an 8 and i bet 4 and he raises me to 8 and i call..

Ofc he just made three of a kind from the river with 8..

Did i something terrible wrong here or was this kids luck just there at that point?

What should i have dont if something was bad?

I just want to say that i am not a GAMBLER that just goes into all kind of pots, i do play tight and i really want to play the best i can even now in the begining.. I am not here to loose money

And also, is pokerstars the best site for me atm? I mean, is there some other site where i might be better quicker? Meaning that pokerstars might have alot of good players even at lower stakes grinding?

Take care!

JJ UTG, i am the BB so i just check to the flopp. Dont want to make some crasy bets with JJ..

3players in

Flop comes 6,K,K and i check and the other players check..

Turn is a 10 and the second player bets and i call

River card is a 3 so i bet 0,04 and the players raises me to 0,08 and i call..

He somehow trapped me but wasnt his play alittle bit wierd?

pokerstars does have better regs, but also best selection...
the pokerschool has freerolls and vids and such to help as well
(also earn free tickets) might be worth looking into

^^ why is turn bet so small, he MAY have folded to a much bigger bet, but whats 4cents more for that pot?unlucky riv but you let him get there (tho not all microplayers would fold to any bet)

limping is bad, it keeps weak hands in and you cant get a read on players hands
his play was weird cuz he should have bet more,especially on riv

you dont bet JJ but 3bet Q5? should just fold
as played unlucky, he should not have been in the hand, but its microstakes...
i would have reraised the turn in case he had a or k of that suit chasing flush (I would have lost all too-it happens) but you must learn the optimal way to play each hand, each flop, and each player

keep posting hands, more info like all card suits, your position, players left to act...
or try a program like universalreplayer (theres many similar to play the hand out, cant find the one CC has ATM hmm)

Wrong with the 3 bet with 5 ad Q, i did only check it to se flopp..

Ad then called his bet

Kolehmainen · Aug 10, 2014

Ok, another hand that i had..

Im on the button with A,J

And a player raises so i just call...

Flopp comes A,7,K rainbow

He bets 0,06 and i call

Turn is a 10 and he bets 0,10 and i call

River is a 8 and he best 0,20 and i fold..

I fold because he betted when the ace came on flopp, so i think he has a ace with a better kicker, maybe has the A,K

What u think?

Did i wrong?

ya probally,
try a reraise on flop or turn, what if he had A9? or QQ? or 22?
some people c-bet often whether they hit or not
and since you never reraise (except maybe with AA,KK) you will get bet against often
for the money you had invested in the pot, I would have called that bet,
at least to know if he had a hand or not for future reference
