The best advice I can give to you would be to study opening ranges a bit more and also how it relates to table sizes. Relating to your first hand specifically, in a 4 handed cash game, yes indeed the first one to act preflop is technically UTG, but he is also in the cutoff (directly right to the button). Thus he will be opening way wider than 77+ and broadway hands. As to which exact range to put him on, I'm not entirely sure as well. Also depends on his play etc. But I know for a fact that the optimal hand for him to play is way wider than this. 78s for example could very well be in his range.


True that when I look at the hand today. He has surely a wider range, for instance, any pocket pair more SCs. And the call from BB was not good. It's either a 3-bet or a fold – because with just a call my range will be dominated most likely, especially the flush part because he can also be opening any Qxs, Kxs (Jxs Txs 9xs) and so on.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Hand 1:
flop - value bet
turn - value bet
river - I thought it could be very likely to run into a reRaise jam(bet into a full house or bluff) and have to fold. But when I put a range like (JJ-TT,AQs-ATs,KQs,QJs,JTs,Th9h,Th8h,9h8h,Th7h,Th6h,AQo)(just for the river) into equilab I get around 68% to 32% for my T9s. Clear value bet or better to check behind?


Hand 2:
flop – cbet bluff, with backdoor
turn – check behind paired board, maybe missed value?
river – first thought rRaise, but then like above, can I call when he jams? Equilab (TT-66,KQs,QJs,JTs,T9s,AdTs,AhTs,AcTs)(river) 77% to 23% Clear value bet or better to check behind?

Hand 1 - I think it is well-played. I would also check the river, I rarely see NL2 players raise bluff on the river and dont think many worse hands would call.

Hand 2 - For river I would raise fold as you didn't block K or Q high flush.
Against aggressive players I would also check the turn

Hi all

I'll post some really unspectacular hands and would be glad to get some answers, suggestions and so on...

(is there a way to embed the weaktight player?)

$0.01/$0.02 No Limit Holdem
PokerStars
4 Players
Hand Conversion Powered by WeakTight Poker Hand History Converter

Stacks:
CO SilvaK ($2) 100bb
BTN eddo_tchs ($4.87) 244bb
SB madball754 ($2.50) 125bb
BB Hero ($3.79) 190bb

Pre-Flop: (0.03, 4 players) Hero is BB 7 9
SilvaK raises to $0.08, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.06
Flop: 4 3 2 ($0.17, 2 players)

Hero checks, SilvaK checks

Turn: 4 ($0.17, 2)
Hero checks, SilvaK checks River: 5 ($0.17, 2)

Hero checks, SilvaK checks

Final Pot: $0.17
Hero shows a pair of Fours
7 9
SilvaK shows a pair of Fours - King kicker
10 K

SilvaK wins $0.16 (net +$0.08)

Hero lost $0.08


PF Thinking was: UTG has a tighter range (77+, broadways) so a call from the BB would be ok.
Then on the flop: check, because i'd more like to actually turn the flush and let him pick up anything, then just pick up the pot by chance with a semi bluff. (up to bet of 3/4pot i think i'd have [or had?, still learing english as well :] called)
Turn: when i check back, assumed he has some OC but no pair or sets, i wanted to bet here, but unfortunatley didnt.
River: here i thought im too late to party and its better to not try anything, because im looking awfully weak.


So in spots like this: against a tight player
. would it be better to just 3bet pfr? and why?
. or does a plan like chatch something and let him hit anything first, make any sense
. so general whats the best play in a scenaro like this

thx, cheers

fold pre or 3bet

"UTG has a tighter range (77+, broadways) so a call from the BB would be ok."
why call would be ok? mm.. with what hand it wouldnt be ok ? xD

you have no position and small bank with shit hand and hard decision on every street.

ur bank small so u cant push ur oponent from bank with 1 bet.

Why would the K Q Flush do me any harm? You mean the boat? I was really surprised by his hand. If I thought of KQs as his hand I'd bet without hesitation. :)

I mean when you raise, you can count how many hands that you can beat and not blocked by your hand. If you have AsKs, far less likely villain would lead with non-nut flush and I would call river bet only. In this case, villain may have KsJs, KsQs, JsTs, KsTs, QsJs, QsTs , and a bunch of busted draws, K8s, 98s, if you have Ks or Qs, this would significantly reduce the hands that villain can call with when you raise

True that when I look at the hand today. He has surely a wider range, for instance, any pocket pair more SCs. And the call from BB was not good. It's either a 3-bet or a fold – because with just a call my range will be dominated most likely, especially the flush part because he can also be opening any Qxs, Kxs (Jxs Txs 9xs) and so on.


It's fine to call tbh. Should definitely have some calls with this hand there and the (very) occasional 3bet imo. It's a very playable hand, especially deep in cash games so I wouldn't suggest folding here. Anyway, keep up the threads about hands you played here and you'll definitely improve rapidly ^^

The thought about 3-betting low suited connectors from the BB vs BTN/CO/SB was that normally he is calling with a pair and overcard heavy range and is gonna fold the lower end of his range and that's pretty good. Against his 3bet calling range it's much easier to decide what to do next on the flop. + He's going to fold also.

----------------------------------------------------------

This one I'm really interested in hearing your thoughts. Would it be a clear call/fold? What range do you put BB on?

Flop: I'm betting for value.
Turn: also value(?), since I pick a flush draw and block a heart
River: Completes the straight and also what is going to call flop and turn other than sets and two pairs. So the turn might have been already a semi-bluff and I should have check called?

Preflop I would rather 3bet or fold here against CO open.
Flop check and Turn almost min check raise on this paired board/3suit board is nut heavy line as you have Ah and blocked some nut flush draw.

I don't think KQ or AK would play like this and hopefully I would snug fold the turn here in similar situation.

PF: yeah, it debatable if it's a good move to call. I probably mostly fold against a 4x open. But CO has a pretty wide range and I got position on him. So it was worth a peak for me. In the BB without position, I would have 3b/folded.

The flop raise was intended as a semi-bluff and pot building move the same way. And yes, fold at the turn would have been cheaper. But I still think any Kx is gonna reraise in that spot.

Is the river bet to spewy?
My impression of the other guy so far was that he is absolutely capable of calling me down three streets just with top pair medium kicker... But now I think maybe check call or even check fold river could be the better play.
What do you think?

CO raises to $ 0.08, you call, pot 17, you get a flush draw. Ok you check, CO check, tern show pair of 4, best time for semiblaff, you should bet about 10 and co fold it, you win.

There are a lot of equity in this hand so I would bet on the flop and on the turn due to equity

And if the villain pay both barrels would take into showdown because I would not bet on the river

But I find it hard that the K 10 pay flop and turn because your hand does not improve anything on the turn

then we should have great chance to pull this game on the turn

Yes, I think your right with the check/fold on the river. I guess you meant check/fold? I find it pretty hard sometimes against opponents with shallow stacks in situations like this.
On the river, I was pretty sure he is gonna shove and with the rest of his stack no matter what. But I guess my mistake was I didn't consider he is just calling KT down, rather than raising on the turn, but its easily in his range.

I was a bit surprised and not at the same time. When he shoved I thought, is it really possible he has J9, can be but most likely not.
There are just 4 combos, right? Or do I miss something when counting just the four J there are?

A good example off not thinkings it through.
I just saw his SQz at the right bottom of the screen (i played a couple of hand against him, regish, defending, aware) and thought a he's grabbing the dead money here a lot of the times, and he is capable of folding too, so its a good spot to 4bet-bluff him and take the pot a good amount of the times.
But what i didn't think off before i pressed the button, was what message my button call already sent!
So that was coming too my mind while waiting for the flop... a bit to late
I thought maybe its a good example of a hand played too aggressively/stupidly. For that play to make any sense a 3bet over the minOpen would have been a better move i guess.

I just tried to edit the first post but can't find out how to so I just write it here.

This thread was always meant to be for everybody and just a place to post hands and discuss them – different approaches, strats and so on – instead of always open a new thread. It would be nice so see your hand and talk about it...

Hope to see your hands soon

I normally struggle playing A6 or worse in middle position. If I'm lucky enough to be a big stack at the table I'll fold but find myself getting into trouble with hands like this if I'm short. Any suggestions o. How to play Ace Rag or how do you play it? Suited or not doesnt seem to matter too much but am more inclined to gamble if its suited.
