think tank 1

Postby tommyhawk » Wed Jan 25, 2006 7:46 am

Forgot how to work hand converter
$100 $200 blinds Turbo Stars

sb me $4,645
BB $4,910
P1 $1,180
P2 $2,465

Ok i get [Kd] [Ah] folded to me and I raise to $400. ( not big but I had reasons for that )

Some historie. The bb just busted me out of other sng which I was playing all I have seen from him were solid hands.
He was raising last 4 hands until I called him with my tens en the board came 10 K K where I was lucky he had a K. I milked him all the way for bets I knew he would call if he had the K.
As he was saying he liked the way I played ....he reraised to $1600.

Now what must I do here..is he testing me or does he again have a hand ? He had hands for the last 5 times.

As I went into the think tank I typed. Do you want me to laydown AK?

Now what are we gonna do.

If you make a miniraise with a oremium hand I assume that you're hoping for a reraise, because I don't think you want to play a pot out of position against an undefined hand... you got what you wanted and since you have a drawing hand, you should push to make sure you get to see all the 5 cards if you're called.

His reraise might have said, "I want a call." I'd been more likely to call a push, as often this means he doesn't.

I once had a sig line which means a lot here. When two tigers fight, one is killed and one is seriously wounded. You have no reason to play each other. Folding is hard here, but surely a most reasonable line.

2 hands later

sb 980
bb 2,265
me 4,645
bboy 5,410

I get [Ac] [Qc] .

Ok nice hand right I raise $600 ( blinds still 100-200 ). I want to get the sb all in but we are still close to money and I don't want BigBoy behind me to wake up with a killer.
Glad to see he folded and the sb going all-in for $880.
I am waiting for BB to fold but he quikly called his bet.

Ok what now obvious 2 players also like their hands and BB can do me good damage. I got the feeling one of them has me outclassed with their hands but who is it?

I decide to just call

Pot now at $2,940

Flop [4d] [Td] [7c]

BB has $1485 left and now bets $600

What now??

Put him all in. He may have a better hand, but is he sure? Is he willing to bust out? That's the great part of NL. You have the opportunity to put him to the test. If he calls, he's in danger. If he loses and the SB wins, he's in real jeopardy. Make him sorry he got into this mess.

You know he is gonna call he is pot commited. He has hit his hand or already is good.
The guy was pretty tight and now bets into original raiser.

Once again my read was good. I folded and he had trips sevens.
I finished second to this guy who had an amazing run afetr that hand and hit his lower kicker on the final hand.

I think I made descent money here.I could have been out before it.

You might have the idea that I am too tight because of some hands.My figures say otherwise though but things can always be better.
