SuperJon 175 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 1st hand at the table - no readsPokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (8 handed) Poker Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FCP)MP1 ($6.27)MP2 ($4.18)Hero ($5)Button ($6.82)SB ($11.16)BB ($11.32)UTG ($18.59)UTG+1 ($4.85)Preflop: Hero is CO with 5 , 9 . Hero posts a blind of $0.05. 3 folds, MP2 calls $0.05, Hero (poster) checks, 2 folds, BB checks.Flop: ($0.17) J , 2 , 9 (3 players)BB checks, MP2 checks, Hero bets $0.15, BB calls $0.15, MP2 folds.Turn: ($0.47) A (2 players)BB checks, Hero checks.River: ($0.47) 5 (2 players)BB checks, Hero??My line of thinking on the river is that he wouldn't check the flush since I checked behind on the turn. I checked the turn mostly because I felt like I was behind to a pair of Jacks or possibly a better 9 and didn't want to commit any more money to the pot. When I made 2 pair on the river, I felt pretty confident I had the best hand. Just not sure how much to bet in order to get a call. Link to post Share on other sites
Solar 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 $.30 ?He'll pretty much always call that with a jack Link to post Share on other sites
Dictius 0 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 We're pretty much just trying to get some value from a jack and sometimes another nine.He's probably scared of the flush and the Ace, so I'm thinking somewhere around 1/2 to 2/3 pot.Either 0.25 or 0.3, depending on how much you judge him to be a calling station.

Temporary Nuts 1 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm not patient enough to wait for the BB.Too bad. You want proper strategy? Don't post preflop. Link to post Share on other sites
gfdsa146 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 would you consider 5-9 a limpable hand? i dont think you would. you posting the blinds early is going to result in limping with a garbage hand most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites

Solar 0 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Posting in the cutoff is not a bad thing to do. If you think about the blinds as buying a certain number of hands, its actually a good idea. At a 10 person table, paying BB+SB gives you 10 hands for 1.5XBB. Posting in the cut off gives you 8 hands for 1BB. And the two you miss out on you're pretty much always OOP for anyway.
