Fold QJo from UTG+1, too tight?

Far too passive when in position w/ 1 or 2 limpers to you. K10 is and easy rasie w/ 1 limper and you have position, same w/ QJs.

K10 off is a terrible hand... I don't think you should raise this at all. Not unless it's folded around to you in that position. QJ isn't that great either, and it's still just a suited connector, if you would raise 89s on the button, then by all means raise it... but I think you limp with it.

Thought there were too many hands and nobody would look so I broke them up into two posts. Comments would be appriciated.

yes, yes you did. smetimes you get lucky. To make this call on the flop you really need to be getting around 15-1 on your call(this of course is factoring in implied odds on picking up a lot of BBs. Again I'd be willing to bet that more often than not your ace isn't all that good. This is a massive leak

Call the raise from the bb with Axo. The only reason I called the raise was because the raiser was upset about my runner runner flush and I figured he was tilting and trying to steal the blinds from early.

Some more advice from an advanced beginner

Thought there were too many hands and nobody would look so I broke them up into two posts. Comments would be appriciated.

Call with KTo on the button, thinking I should have raised?


No, there was already one limper. You're not going to get a blind steal here, and KTo is weak.

Why?? You seem to like small overcards. I would only call with overs if they were AK, AQ, AJ, and the pot was bigger (because I raised it preflop).

Call with the suited A from UTG. I tend to play Axs, maybe
leftovers from NL.

Sklanksy says it's OK, and I mostly agree, although in many loose games this will end up being raised anyway.

Call a bet with a backdoor flush and over card. In for the call, in for the raise.

This is a leak. Backdoor flush draws hit one in 23 times. Your ace, in a raised pot with more than one caller, is almost certainly not good - a AK, AQ, AJ, A10 are very likely in this pot. Horrible call.

TuBig : Check

Pr 9’s on the button. Should I have raised?

I would've raised to be the aggressor in later streets. You might get a second pair to fold to you, even it is an overcard, through aggression (i.e. a J 10 on a A j 2 board). This is my usual line of play.

Only 1 overcard on the flop. Call the raise.

With a bet and a raise, and in a small pot, I honestly would've folded. There are many draws that can hit here, and the pot is still small. Plus, you didn't raise preflop, so the raiser will just think you are being a calling station and bet both of the next streets.

Ragged board call the bet. Against a pr of J?

That or better, I think. Unless the player wasn't very good (which he may not be) he probably wouldn't bet the turn on the come

*** RIVER *** : [ 5h Jh 7h 3d ] [ 4s ]

NorthPacific: Check

Check down the river after the ragged board coordinates. Should I have bet out?

No. The classic, "only get called by hands that beat you" argument.

Good.

This hand is played correctly.

Call the bet with an overcard and backdoor flush.

You seem to like these, hmmm. May I remind you again about the odds of these ephemeral backdoor flushes happening..

Fine .. if you're still there.

Pick up the flush on the river with runner runner diamonds. Did I just reinforce a bad habit?

Yes, and now you will salivate whenever you see one card of your Ax suit, and are conditioned to press the call button on your screen.

________________________________________

Call the raise from the bb with Axo. The only reason I called the raise was because the raiser was upset about my runner runner flush and I figured he was tilting and trying to steal the blinds from early.

Call the all in bet with high card ace.

Fine.

Fold QJo from UTG+1, too tight?[/quote]

Marginal. I would probably call in a low limit, passive game.


Good posts - keep them up and good luck at the tables.
