Hi all,

Thought I won tonights League game I still l lost 3 big hands and had a tough time. I don't think I played these hands bad, but maybe I am mistaken? Did I make a crucial mistake in any of these hands?

I don`t think there`s anything wrong with how you played the first two hands. You got your money in ahead and just got drawn out on.

The third hand I might have been tempted to bet more on the turn. You`re ahead of anything but a set but the call on the flop could indicate (as it did) a drawing hand and it might be time to try and shut the hand down.

I think the first two hands are fine, you were just unlucky.

The third, well, we all see things differently. You have limped in so you have neither gained nor given any information from/to big blind. You could have put on a much bigger bet on the flop.....you may have had to let it go but it may have been cheaper in the long run.

I do not like the bet on the end when you have still not connected and he has called all your bets thus far, but of course this can be based on your feeling that he did not have it.

a little bit weak overall in sizebets, etc. the first hand you bet 160 into 315 pot. make it around 230-240 imo.

As of myself i do not like to limp any blindbattle situations. In the long run vs most of the players you will make a profit in youre game by raising it up 2.5xbb-3xbb in the blind battle. They will fold more often then they will call, and if they call they often miss the flop and folds there.

But as you played it i think you made a good valuebet on the river as the only hand that would make something on the river was just 87.

So my betsizes are to weak?

I guess it does make it appealing for some people to go for drawing hands when I want them out of the hand. That can get me in some pretty tough spots.

Changing betsizes is a pretty tough thing to change, since that is such a fundamental part of the game. I'll still try and experiment a few times with bigger betsizes to get people out of the game when I don't want people going for a draw.

ty guys for the great advices. Much appreciated

Your mistake in the first 2 hand is playing against too loose players at too low stakes but that's it.
At the last hand you raised half pots all the way, a little bit of slowplaying. It's risky, I should pushed a pot bet on the turn.

Thanks to Harry to put the hands in the replayer, i see the topic before when was just posted but was too lazy to comment when see only the normal history hands

About the hands.

hand #1
Unlucky the result but i think could be avoid.

Bet size as been mention but think that stack size is important in here too, preflop you have 2 callers, 1 with a little more stack, and the other with 4 times less your stack, so at this moment you should think that can't make shorstack see any street for cheap.

With that in mind the flop bet should be more , 2/3 or even the pot, but with other player there can be ok, but after the flop the other player fold, so you only have the shorstack left, in this moment you should crush his hopes and don't give odds to call, but you bet 300 in a pot of 635 with the other player having 700, so you bet not even half of the pot.

So you raise preflop, but in flop only bet half pot, and in turn bet less that half pot versus a shorstack, so, the other player think that you got nothing and that is why decide to push.

Yes you have the best hand and unlucky the result, but i think you could avoid that if bet more in flop, or if in turn after the other player fold you push the shorstack out, bet the 600 or even the 700 that he have, that way you show that have a hand or at least make him think if want to gamble his game with a low pair, that is different to he think have the best hand at the moment because you show weakness all the hand.

If still he call, then still you lose, but at least you do all you can.

About Hand#2
I don't see nothing wrong, you make a raise with a good hand and position, the sb decide to gamble and push, and with 2500 chips in the pot cost you 300 chips more to call with a good hand, so, in this one i don't see you could do nothing different, was just unlucky.

I talk about Hand#3 tomorrow because is late.
