well what did you do on the river?

if I was going to play a hand from mp3, I would've been more aggressive and raised 3bb. It's a fun playable hand and from late position, I'd like to take a shot at stealing the blinds.

That said

Flop is fine.

I really like the turn because to me that 300 seems like a feeler bet.

I looked at the results, and i stick to what I've said. Your turn raise was powerful and most ppl would've pitched the hand.

Preflop is fine, although you can raise to try and steal the limps/blinds if you like, depends on your table image.

Either way, I doubt he's folding to a raise PF, so limping is ok.

Flop is fine.

His turn bet is atrocious, you played it perfectly.

You got 2 outed on the end. Not much you can do.

Well played, IMO.

Except, we need to know the river action.

Oh, and don't post results when you post hands, just leave them off altogether please. It discourages results-based thinking.

There was no river action, my raise on the turn put him all in. If you look again, he bets out 300, I raise 3k, and he calls 1400.


Thanks for confirming it wasn't played poorly. I am more interested in my actions related to what I have, and the board texture then, what I feel, was a terrible call on the turn by him. There isn't much more I could of done. I had a good hand and put him all in. Am I right to think more often then not in a similair situation, I am going to come out ahead? Just shrug off the occasional loss and continue to play how I did.

The action still makes no sense if the stack sizes were correct.

He had 5700 to start the hand, you had like 9K.

The minimum the pot would be if he was all in is 13400.

I think it messed up. Did he reraise your raise to 3000 all in? Because it says "Hero raises to 3000, Hero calls 1440".

That could account for the missing chips.

With respect to your question in this post: Without a doubt you will come out ahead in the long run if you manage to get your opponent to commit all of his chips drawing to 2 outs. Going to that river, you are 86.364% to win.

I just went back to the hand history and double checked it. After my turn raise he reraised to 4110, which I obviously called. The pot was 11870. Not sure how I messed up with the converter, lucky I warned you I was a newb in my OP.
