Some Limit hands
Jun. 28th, 2006 08:02 pmHere’s a couple of hands that I think that I misplayed, partly because I had only been sitting down for half an hour and I was still getting to grips with the table.
Both are 10-20 euro full ring games on Virgin.
Hand 1:
I am in MP1 with Kd Td.
UTG, a loose player who isn’t very good and who tends to overrate his hand (particulalry overpairs) limps. UTG+1 passes.
Of the other dramatis personae:
MP2 is tricky. I’ve seen him at lower levels call raises cold with 96s, raise with 75s, flat call a big pair, reraise with big pairs, cold-call raises with big pairs.
MP3 is also a quality player, but is less tricky. He raises limpers liberally, but his position here probably means that any raise wil be genuine, partly because...
CO is a loose player who will cold call a raise as soon as call a single bet. Weak, chaser, loser, but a pain in the arse when in late position to your raise, because he could be cold-calling you with anything.
Button, small blind and big blind are tight players.
Do I limp, raise, or fold?
Hand 2:
I pick up Ks Kh in UTG+1. UTG folds and I raise. I am flat-called by MP1 (see description of tricky MP2 above) and three-bet by MP2 (see description of good but less unpredictable MP3 above)
Flop comes Td 9d 4s.
I check, MP1 bets and MP2 raises. I call. MP1 calls.
Turn is 4h.
I check.
Comments appreciated, even the normal “raise at every opportunity” type.
