Depending on your image and the table, at most I'll call and not raise. Folding is fine, your hand is so marginal you'll avoid tough spots like these.
On the flop you flop top pair on a super drawy board. You have like a gutshot and not even to the nuts, and only 3 clean outs.
Flop is check/fold for sure. On the turn, I MAY call and hope that you fill up, and on the river its a clear fold. You didn't make your boat, you fold there.
Hand 2, Preflop is fine, flop is to pot it. It's super drawy and you just want to take it down now. Why are you giving him odds to call with whatever straight draw hands? Turn is still pretty good for you, you still have a ton of outs even if he has a straight. I'll bet here and hope to take it down, and fold to any raise. As played I think you may have missed some value from 2 pair type hands or undersets.
Bet like 1/3 on the river and fold to any raise. Need to get value.
Hand 3, you may be crushed, bet folding is a bit nitty imho, I'm thinking even at these limits guys will re-raise with KKxx type hands. I don't know bout you, but I don't mind the fold. Generally if you picked up his timing tell and he only insta-raises with the best hands, then fold. You aren't realyl drawing to the nuts as such. So fold is ok.
Hand 4, if you called the raise on the flop, why do you fold on the turn? The 9 doesn't realyl change the board much. Flop I would 3-bet him and fold to a 4-bet. But if you plan to call him on the flop, call him on the turn and river.
Unless he has a 3 on the flop, he's folding to just about every 3 bet there is.
Hand 5 you played it fine till the river, calling is fine, just fold once Button pops it and SB calls. Never liked calling in this spot with 2 guys s ointerested in the hand like this and you not having the nuts vs 3 people.
Sorry if my explanations are bad, Padawan just buzzed me about this lol. |
Your explanations were good. I got a lot of insight. Looking back I definately see my mistakes.
Hand one- I see the fold now.
Hand two- you aren't the first to tell me my bet sizing was weak, I will work on this. Also, when it comes to getting value I fail. Are you saying the best way to do this is just bet until he raises and don't be scared of a hand like the straight?
Hand 4- yes my play is very bad I can't see how I found the fold after the flop play.
