My Poker Games: Attack of the Killer Rivers!!!!

Saturday, July 30, 2005

About 3 posts ago I talked about how nice it is when the flops are with you. Well here is a post about when the river just kicks your ass all night. I played $5/$10 for about 3 hours 4 tabling and lost $385. Check out some of these hands, advice is always welcome if I misplayed them.

What a shitty river ....

Anonymous said...: Hey man, looks like you had a bad session. I'm not playing at the level you are and I ask for advice much more than I give it, so keep that in mind. That being the case, here are my thoughts on your hands.

Hand 1:

Probably should raise this flop. Draw heavy board, very unlikely someone is in with 9T. I don't much like your raise on the turn. I MIGHT have folded the river to two cold figuring someone for a jack or FH. But then, there's no flush, and no reasonable straight possibility.

I wouldn't say you played it "wrong" without more info on your villains.

Hand 2:

Looks good. I might have just called on the turn tho. Notice in both instances, your turn play turned out to be correct but if we're behind we're WAY behind with one to go.

Hand 3:

Very good play. He had more than 2 outs tho as he picked up the flush draw on the turn. This is one I'd say you both played correctly, he's just luckier than you :)

Hand 4:

This one is an easy fold PF facing two cold and first to act behind the raiser. But I think you knew that already :) Once you were in it, the rest of the play was fine, IMHO.

Hand 5:

Good play (especially on the flop). Bad luck.

I'm pretty sure none of that helped you much, but I always like feedback on my hands so what the hell. Keep at it, you're getting very close to your goal!
