I have been active in this forum in the past but kinda stopped posting. I have decided to come back and post a series of hands from recent sessions to provoke some analysis and discussion (some hands that I won and some hands that I lost)

Quick background on me: I turned a bank roll of 75 bucks into a thousand over the last year, I withdrew 400 leaving me with 600 to play 1-2 and a plan for the summer to play more and start playing semi-serously. (I play on pokerroom if that matters to anyone)

Hand number 1:
PokerRoom 1/2 Hold'em (10 handed) internettexasholdem.com

Preflop: Hero is UTG+2 with , .
UTG raises, 1 fold, Hero 3-bets, 7 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) , , (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero raises, UTG calls.

Turn: (5.75 BB) (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG calls.

River: (7.75 BB) (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 11.75 BB


if you want to know the result of the hand or have any questions concerns comments etc. please feel free to PM me, otherwise post away

I often wait to raise the turn.
Depends on opponent.
More aggressive ones, i definitly wait until the turn.

hand looks good though

and welcome back

i generally wait to raise the turn, also, esp. with someone who appears that aggressive.

But a scary river card for sure.

When I flop two pair i'll often wait for the turn but not when there are flush and str8 draws on the board. I think you can get more money in pumping it up now while people are drawing. NH.

the odds of that 1 opponent hitting this FD are so low, that I tend to really discount the need to make them pay for it, and revert to raisng the turn for more value.

***************

however, with gut shots and oesd galore... yeah..I'm seeing your point, just not on the FD alone...

however, most hand hit this flop hard, and I"d expect to get value on a turn raise too. But we do risk Villain not leading the turn
