Freeroll contest HH#1

[shrtstakatak]

I'm not posting results yet, 'cause that's supposed to get me more reliable (less results oriented) feedback. Table info: I only sat down here maybe 5 hands before. Lots of preflop limping 3 or 4 players generally to flop. lucyireland had just lost about 2500 chips the hand immediately preceding this one.

If I am reading this right, Lucy shoved UTG for 625.00 and you are UTG+1. Okay, with JJ I would say Shove all-in to discourage a lot of action and try to get this head-up. Lucy could have nothing but you don't want be 3-4 handed going to a flop with JJ.

that being said it is a Freeroll so I am not sure how thinking the rest of the players at the table are so I wouldn't hate a fold here, but it does seem very nitty. Calling is the worst thing you can do as you are practically begging to have the hand taken away from you post flop with JJ by calling.

If it was a lower pair you could just let it go, if it was higher you wouldn't be worried about 7 to act. Damn Jacks. Thats my take, damn Jacks.

I guess I would push. Higher pair is unlikely even though its UTG+1. Someone posted a chart recently with pairs and position, the % you have best hand. I think jacks UTG+1 woud be about 90% to be best hand. That includes being ahead of AQs and AK but we might not want to be in a race right now. I'll take my chances, might even get called by a lower pair, it is a freeroll.

She lost 2500 the hand before but was it a legitimate hand? Given the fact it's a freeroll with hundreds of players I would have pushed to isolate, you still have 2200 if you lose without anyone else in the hand.

In retrospect, I should have shoved my whole stack. min raise here probabaly as bad as a call. I HATE JJ

 

[Steveg1976]

My mistake, Min Rasing is the worst thing you could have done in this spot ; that is over half your chips anyway. Yep horrible and the call after was mandatory based on your hand and the pot size.

Be kind. There is no way I'm getting this guy off even if I did shove, but alas that is a result oriented comment, sigh.....

Having frustrations with Bodogs HH's. I cut and pasted this info from the account tab on bodog into a txt file and lost alot of formatting including the SIUTS of the cards, arrgghhhh! Any suggestions how to make this a little easier since it's a requirement of the contest?

Get a pokerstars HH and save it off. Then use this template and edit it w/ the Bodog data. Yeah I know it's a bit of work but it's better than cut-n-paste.

Either this ^, or just talk us through the hand. Ie:

Stack sizes reads and positions
Your hand
Pre-flop action
Flop details and action
Etc.

I agree, Bodog histories make my head hurt. My feedback on this one (insofar as I understand the action) is pretty similar to everyone else's though: shove all in rather than min-raise. You know you're getting action from the player that's already in, so try to get it heads up.
