The Live Poker Hand Thread

Hey everyone,    

I thought it would be fun to run a live poker hand thread, where we can all offer strategy advice on the poker play, using a real poker hand as an example.  

To do this, I have randomly put out a number of chips for each player;   then shuffled and dealt six hands on a table at home;   we can take the play as it occurs for anyone to post how they would play it.  

These are the cards as they were dealt, although I have taken the liberty of selecting a deal that has potential; I have seen all the pocket cards, but do not know what the flop, turn or river is.  

I may make the play (check/bet/raise/fold) based on the idea of first person to post,   or on a consensus if there are some interesting choices and plenty of suggestions.  :q67: (Please don’t suggest the anatomically impossible) #If there is an obvious early pre-flop fold, I may do that to save time.

For the purposes of the fun we can assume it is a cash table.   And akin to a televised event, we will see the hands as the action moves around the table.

To make things easier to follow than player A - player B etc, I have dug out the players from The MLP-Asylum $1000 Freeroll Tournament.  :q68:

Here are the seated players, their style and the stack sizes.






Big Sweet Corn ~ TAG ~ $4.84
Tigger ~ Rock ~ $3.75
Chicken ~ Loose ~ $2.05
Snoopy ~ Unknown ~ $2.60
Animal ~ LAG ~ $3.20
Little Ted ~ TAG ~ $6.30




Big Sweet Corn: (dealer)
Tigger: posts SB $0.10
Chicken: posts BB $0.20
Snoopy: (Ad2s) Fold
Animal: (Kd6s) Fold
Little Ted: (Jh9h) raises to $0.40
Big Weet Corn:  (4d6c) Fold
Tigger: (SB) (9d7s) Fold
Chicken: (BB) (2h2c) smooth calls
The Flop: (Js 2d 9s)
Chicken:

FOLD
why get involved with 2 for kicker in EP
PoolDemon

to really make this interesting, y not get 6 people interested in playing imaginary hands, tell each player what they where dealt, & have them play it out accordingly...

After the hand ends, then display all the hands...

in this instance, Den folds A2 UTG, we shouldn't know what he folds or plays until all is finished, & we should bet as if we were really playing this hand...

just a thought...

Thanks for the idea Rob, that's for another day.

This way is more like the High stakes poker we see on TV with Texas Dolly and David Williams ...except ...it's ...low stakes ... and fluffy toys.

How often have you screamed at the screen Fold, Raise etc when watching those games... well now is your chance to be heard.

Know-nuffin

Okay, some can argue with a rag from UTG six handed, but I guess snoopy will be worried about an aggressive pre-flop raise by a later order player.

Ramster has Folded Snoopy.

Animal shows (Kd6s) .... I'll fold that too.

Little Ted (Jh9h) hmmmm suited connected from the cut off.

What do we do with this. I expect several ideas on how to play it.
muratore

i would raise it  

not sure that TAGgy teddy would tho...
Miklosik

Ramster

Oy watch it....   Taggy ted indeed.  

May I remind you I am known as Little 'shark' Ted.

I can adopt the tight aggresive style but I aint no saint.

I fink a raise here is in order. How much though.

BB is 20 so should I rasie it up to 60 or 80 cents?
Mrs know-nuffin

Hmmmm, an interesting one.

Not the best cards BUT suited gappers none the less and if you just limp here you may not know where you are after a low flop.

I think I would be tempted to put on a raise here, perhaps just minimum (I can hear Brian cringing already)  but it might be enough to steal the button.

HI

Ummm  someone should get a video and tape themself playing live poker and then ask so we can see what the other players are doing.
Know-nuffin

There seems to be a consensus to raise it up.

Don't listen to Taggy 'just call me shark' ted,   he's a pussy cat.

Let's go with the wimpy single raise.

Big Sweet Corn from the button has (4d6c)

any suggestion mura... nah... I think we can take that as a fold

Tigger in the sb has (9d7s)

What would Tigger do ?
harry_lime

Tigger is folding in 3 seconds flat.

Then fold it shall be... I can't help the way my fluffy toys play their poker.  

Chicken Shows (2h2c)

He has to have a look for minimum... anyone fancy raising from the BB ?
Mrs know-nuffin

Can't be sure Little Ted didn't raise to steal the button.

I'd like to see a flop so I'd Call.
Know-nuffin

Okay Chicken calls the $0.20

The pot stands at $0.90.

and the flop is... hang on let me go see.  

...

wow (Js 2d 9s) ... that is how they reeled of the top of the deck.

Chicken checks the set of 2's ?  

I'd like a second opinion on that, because the flop has suited gappers.

Would some kind of investment be better on this round ?

Anyone else want to play it cute;   if not how much should Chicken bet.

Hes called a pre flop raise and hes hit his set the board doesnt look scarey enough there to take the lead IMOAnyone else want to play it cute;   if not how much should Chicken bet.  
Mrs know-nuffin

Hmmm, flopping a set you have got to feel good but a couple of suited connectors may give you cause for alarm.

With chicken sstack size he may consider that any bet will be called by Ted BUT right now he has a set and must feel that he is ahead.

I think he has got to put on something, to test the water, infact he might be tempted to go all in giving Ted a decision to make.

Perhaps he would put on at least $0.60.
