that's exactly correct!! my aim was to not play this hand standard/conventional/by the book as you can see by the strange no-raise/reraise pre-flop and leave the important decision on the flop. The flop seemed perfect from the checks and thinking i can disguise my hand further by checking also and can maximize my trap on the turn. The turn seemed harmless for the 1k overbet making it seem like a bluff and evidently it worked since villian called. I'm thinking that other 8 on the river was harmless also so it was an obvious call and well............................Villian did have the 8 spit

$10 buy in - Home game - 5 handed. 1st hand of the tournament.Blinds 25/50Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with Kc KsBB raises to $200, UTG calls $200, Hero calls $200, Button Calls $200, SB folds.Flop:($820) 10s 4d 6h (4 players)BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, Button checks.Turn:($820) 8cBB checks, UTG checks, Hero bets $1000, Button Calls $1000, BB folds, UTG folds.River:($2820) 8h (2 players)Hero checks, Button goes all in $1800...........I bet over the pot on the turn & he calls. Villian is usualy a tight/conservative player so at that point i'm thinkin he's slow playing a big hand also.easy

Did I Make The Correct Decision?
BlubsRoyal replied to BlubsRoyal's topic in No Limit Texas Hold'em Cash Games
thanks for the replies gents!!! really proving valuable for the knowledge-bank posting hands on this forum.Your right about not making decisions based on size of stack, but in these three cases it just made my decision less tough i guess knowing i'd still be up $10+ (buy in amount) if i lost any of those hands but should never base decisions on it at all.Could somebody school me on this EV thing, i've read about it briefly when i first started playing but was way over my head back then.again you guys continue to help me improve my game, greatly appreciated. -

Yep, that's pretty much the jist of what i have read about cash games. Another example of taking risks that i probably wouldn't normaly take in normal tournament play on the same night as the hand i posted above..........heads up - My opponant hit top pair on the flop of A 3 7 he has gone all in for his last $3 into a $9 pot or something, my odds were like 4-1 i'm holding 45, my stack is about $16 i'm on a gut shot i call $3.......i hit the 2 on the turn.....i bust villian..........another hand where i took a risk on that same night with the same player several hands after above hand........ -

aahhh, nice and thorough explaination. You guys have been nothing but fantastic. Learning so much!!!I understand now why he played AA well, compared to the beggining when i thought he played it poorly by poor betting. It's lessons like this that prove very valuable to a learning mans game.My game has improved alot within these 9 months. My play, when i do play hands properly, proves successfull most of the times as i have made almost a 1k bankroll within the 9 months (which to you guys might not be alot but huge to me as a biggener lol). Seeing your advanced knowledge just makes me want to lea

it's all gravy gents & i greatly appreciate the continuus replies.I had my tight image in mind when i check-raised the flop, from history playing with these doods when ever i've check-raised i've had a big hand (trips, 2 pair etc.) and used that in this hand. I didn't know wether he did put me on two pair untill the hand was finished and he told me he put me on two pair on the flop from the check-raise. So it did work but as everybody stated i should have check-raised again on the turn and bet out on the river.Also what does it mean when you say when he just called the raise he used pot co

it's like i lost the ability to read, why did i not see the river card? and why did i think he had a 9? i am so m-bare-assed. :/

it would be more fun to act weak especialy if the player gets chip-happy.
