Willenation 0 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 PokerStars 5/10 Hold'em (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)Preflop: Hero is SB with K, K. UTG raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 1 fold, UTG calls.Flop: (7 SB) 2, 4, 7(2 players)Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero calls.Turn: (5.50 BB) 6(2 players)Hero checks, UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG 3-bets, Hero calls.River: (11.50 BB) 6(2 players)Hero ??My question about this isn't actually about the villian in the hand, who was a maniac and had J high, I think. I'm curious if we alter the hand a little bit and say that villian is fairly tight and was BB and could have anything, what do I do on the river? Two pair is now counterfeited, but I'm still beating top pair and any non-set PP besides aces. If villian is calling a river bet here with a 7, 4, or 2 and raising any hands that beat me, but only betting hands that have me beat when checked to, do I put in the bet?Also, random assorted other questions:Are there any sites that offer heads up 5/10 tables?What kind of bankroll do you recommend for 10/20 - I've tried it, and the first day I had a +$5000 day which was followed by two -$2700 days, at which point I decided the swings were too much so I moved back down. Now, it should naturally be mentioned that this was 4-tabling. While this is probably a bad idea, I lose focus if I'm playing less than 4 tables and start doing other things (I'm 3-tabling while I write this). So ignoring that bad habit, how much do I need to 4-table 10/20?And, finally - if it's folded to a maniac on the button who puts in a raise, knowing he has any 2, what's my play with 2 low unsuited semiconnected cards (46, 58, etc.)? Do I make the call hoping to pair up and either play it aggressive or call down depending on the board, or do I just give it up? Link to post Share on other sites

KDawgCometh 2 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 as far as the hand goes, I'm check/calling the river, stars players on the whole are a bit more passive then the stupid aggression that you find at party(at least I've found this at 10/20 and a bit of the 5/10 that I play on stars, but I mainly play on party) Link to post Share on other sites

The diference between 5/10 and 10/20 isnt that big.Also the 10/20 game on stars is so soft. Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Also the 10/20 game on stars is so soft.no its not, its very tough. I don't know what you are basing this off ofstfu, telling people about how good the stars games are is -ev Link to post Share on other sites
