The Morning After Tilt
Well talk about not wanting to get out of bed. This morning was terrible. I woke up and had to realize "yes its true you dumbass, you blew over 1/3rd of your hard earned bankroll in one blaze of stupidity". Talk about a gutshot.
I want to thank the people who left comments on my last post. It actually was refreshing to here positive feedback and hand critiques. I may actually post some more hands from last night to get some more feedback because those suggestions were really helpful.
Unfortunatley games grid only lets you pull the last 100 hands so I couldnt get many, but here are 3 hands I found that I played when the table started to get short handed right before I left ....
This was just a horribly played gutshot now that I go back and look at it ... http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?page=view&hand=86857
I am really curious in feedback on this one. It was a blind steal attempt that landed me middle pair and I bet it the whole way. The guy had a open ended straight draw and a flush draw and hit it on the river .. http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?page=view&hand=86859
This was the last hand I played - down to heads up and flop top pair - get beat by higher kicker - http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?page=view&hand=86862
On the good news it turns out I did rake my 2000 hands on Poker Rewards last night so I got that $200 bonus deposited into my account. Also my noble poker and poker rewards PSO bonuses cleared on PSO so I got 34,000 points. I just ordered a $300 party poker gift certificate which will probably take a few days to hit my account then I will have to rake 75 hands to be able to cash it out.
My 100 fpps coverted to $20 this morning. I have 4 VFP hours credited at the $5/$10 and $3/$6 level. No double VFP this week so $5/$10 pays $7.50 and $3/$6 pays $4.50.
Current BR - $1641

Try not to dwell on the loss yesterday. It happens. What's done is done.
Was looking at your additional hands. Short-handed play is tricky, but here's my opinion:
1. On the 85o in the BB, I like the bet on the flop. You have a chance to take the pot right there and if he calls, you have some outs.
Since he called on the flop, he probably has at least a made hand. If he had a draw, like a flush draw, he probably would have bet into you. If he had a Queen, he also would have bet. Just checking and calling on the flop usually means he has something like a middle or bottom pair. Go ahead and take the free card on the turn, even though it's heads up. If you don't hit you straight or pair up on the river, you can dump the hand if he bets.
2. On the 87s hand in the SB, the preflop raise is fine. Betting and calling the raise on the flop is fine. If he had an Ace, he probably would reraise preflop. When he raises on the flop, I'd suspect either a flush or straight draw. He'd probably wait to pop you on the turn if he had two pair or a set.
On the turn consider betting into him when a card comes that does not complete a straight or flush. If he raises then, you can fold safely. If he just calls, then you can deduce that he is just drawing.
On the river, i would have probably just checked and called since a card fell that completed a potential draw. Even though you made two pair.
Tricky hand.
3. On the T7o hand headsup in the BB, consider raising the flop. This will help define where you and your opponent are. If he reraises back, call and see the turn card. Remember, you also have an inside straight draw in addition to your pair.
If you get reraised on the flop and he bets into you on the turn, you may have to consider folding. Your kicker is poor and your draw is weak. See if you have the right odds to take one more card.
If he calls your raise then checks the turn, bet again. If he calls that, then I would check it down on the river, because he likely has something, which may have a better kicker.
If you raised the flop, bet the turn and checked the river, you would have probably saved $15 on this hand. You would have spent $5 more on the flop, $10 less on the turn and $10 less on the river. Sometimes this line of betting will save you money on a decent, but not strong hand that has a chance to win.
