Message: [QUOTE="myxiplx, post: 458876, member: 13927"] Hey guys, I could do with some more advice please. On this hand I'm playing my usual over-aggressive style, I look like a donk if I'm honest, but most of the hands I've lost have had a chance at turning into a monster, and the few I've shown down were decent cards. On this hand I'm raising with suited connectors UTG, it's horrible play but I'm happy to throw the $3 away if I don't hit. The plan is that it can become a good hand, and people really shouldn't put me on it. Can't remember my reads on Blue2you, I think they'd only recently joined and had lost a little money with a good but 2nd best hand. ***** Hand History for Game 5475957702 ***** $100 NL Texas Hold'em - Saturday, December 02, 05:15:18 ET 2006 Table Table 126897 (Real Money) Seat 9 is the button Total number of players : 10 Seat 6: lovelybaby ( $77.72 ) Seat 7: royster111 ( $28 ) Seat 10: blackdraft ( $255.76 ) Seat 2: myxiplx ( $77.85 ) Seat 1: blue2you ( $92.50 ) Seat 5: BMONEY0001 ( $127.66 ) Seat 9: BROTn1 ( $109.53 ) Seat 8: DrEvil2000 ( $19.28 ) Seat 3: xX_Chill_Xx ( $66.27 ) Seat 4: MarcMar ( $99 ) blackdraft posts small blind [$0.50]. blue2you posts big blind [$1]. ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to myxiplx [ 7d 6d ] myxiplx raises [$3] xX_Chill_Xx folds MarcMar folds BMONEY0001 calls [$3] lovelybaby calls [$3] royster111 folds DrEvil2000 folds BROTn1 folds blackdraft folds blue2you has been reconnected and has 20 seconds to act. blue2you raises [$7] [B]Ok, giving him credit for being solid with no reads, putting him on a good pair here, or high cards.[/B] myxiplx calls [$5] [B]Thought hard about this. In the end, I've got position on him after the flop, the odds are good, and the table's loose so we'll probably get two more callers.[/B] BMONEY0001 calls [$5] lovelybaby calls [$5] ** Dealing Flop ** [ Jd, 2s, 4d ] blue2you bets [$20] [B]Hmm, pot size bet. He got 3 callers behind but he hasn't got my read on the table so doesn't know that's standard, his hand is probably very good. Putting him on a high pair guarding against the flush.[/B] myxiplx calls [$20] [B]Now he won't put me on the flush at all, a pair of K's or Q's may be worried by this. I may bluff if I feel a chance is there, otherwise this is a cointoss on my flush draw - 2:1 to win, 3:1 pot odds, with position and chance for more money if I hit.[/B] BMONEY0001 folds lovelybaby folds ** Dealing Turn ** [ 5d ] [B]Whee, hit the flush, and I've got a str flush draw too.[/B] blue2you checks [B]Don't buy him being nervous at all, think he's encouraging a bluff.[/B] myxiplx is all-In [$49.85] [B]Ok, I can pretend to bluff for you, all in please.[/B] blue2you calls [$49.85] [B]wheeeee![/B] ** Dealing River ** [ 7h ] blue2you shows [ Kc, Ks ]a pair of Kings. myxiplx shows [ 7d, 6d ]a flush, Jack high. myxiplx wins $169.20 from the main pot with a flush, Jack high. Well, I got the result I wanted, my read was spot on. The question is, was the $20 call gamble correct. I had to see the river for the odds to be right, was gambling that he'd be cautious on the turn and give me a free river. He could have put me in a very tough position had I missed the flush on the turn. Myx [/QUOTE]
