Hi Bogdan,

Good to hear from you. Thanks for marking all my homework up to Lesson 6 and giving me all the encouragement that I needed to hear. Soon I will be posting to you my Lesson 7 and 8.

I have been very busy going over all the training videos and making notes.

My poker games are going very well and I enjoy all of them. Last Sunday I played at Pokerstars for Guinness World Record and I won two free tickets. I played and these were my results:

Lesson 7 Homework:

Question 1: Post a hand for evaluation where you have played on a 6-max table (short-handed). (Post your hand in the No Limit: Hand Evaluations forum, and provide a link to your hand in your private thread.)

Answer 1: Poker Stars 450+50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t15/t30 Blinds - 6 players - http://www.handconverter.com/hands/2438347
The DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

BB: t1545 51.50 BBs
UTG: t1545 51.50 BBs
MP: t1455 48.50 BBs
CO: t1425 47.50 BBs
Hero (BTN): t1455 48.50 BBs
SB: t1575 52.50 BBs

Pre Flop: (t45) Hero is BTN with 9c Kd
2 folds, CO calls t30, Hero calls t30, SB calls t15, BB checks

Flop: (t120) 4d Qc Kc (4 players)
SB checks, BB checks, CO checks, Hero checks

Turn: (t120) Qd (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets t30, CO folds, Hero calls t30, SB folds

River: (t180) Kh (2 players)
BB bets t30, Hero raises to t1395 all in, BB calls t1365

Final Pot: t2970
BB shows Th Qh (a full house, Queens full of Kings)
Hero shows 9c Kd (a full house, Kings full of Queens)
Hero wins t2970

Preflop: I am on the button late position my equity was 29.49% with 9ckd the other three players on random each had equity 23.50% I was a bit worried that my hand was not that strong so I just called.

Flop: Evaluating my own hand I realized that checking was a mistake I should of raised t180 as my hand equity increased to 59.91%. At that point I checked because I was worried that they all would fold.

Turn: My hand became very strong hand: equity 83.38% and I should of raised t360 but I chose to call as I was worried that if I raised that much my opponent might fold.

River: Now I couldn't resisted I had a very strong hand: equity 97.68% I went All-in and won the game!

Should I of played this hand by raising in a different way or was I right the way I slow played this hand?

Question 2: Evaluate one of the hands submitted by other members

Answer 2: This is the Link of my Evaluate of another member: RE: Sh Nl10 Zoom 28 - 3 BU OR J9s vs BB 3B

Question 3: Consider the following situation:

$10 NL Hold'em (6 handed)

Stacks & Stats:
UTG ($10)
MP ($10)
CO ($10)
BU($10)
SB ($10)
BB (Hero) ($10)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5heart , 4heart
2 folds, CO raises to $0.40, BU calls $0.40, SB calls $0.40, Hero calls $0.40

Flop: ($1.60) 3spade , 2Heart , Qheart (4 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $1.20, CO Raises All-in, BU calls All-in, SB folds, Hero...

What action would you take, and why?

Answer 3: Preflop I have a very weak hand: equity 22.71% I would call $0.40 and review my hand on the flop

Flop: My equity 50.70% with 15 outs as I have the chance to hit Flushdraw and OESD. It is a very strong hand I would go All-in.

Question 4: Consider the following situation:

$10 NL Hold'em (6 handed)

Stacks & Stats:
UTG ($10)
MP ($10)
CO (Hero) ($10)
BU($10)
SB ($10)
BB ($10)

Preflop: Hero is CO with Aclub , Kspade
2 folds, Hero raises to $0.40, BU calls $0.40, SB calls $0.40, BB calls $0.40

Flop: ($1.60) Aspade , 4club , 4diamond (4 players)
SB checks, BB bets $1.20, Hero...

What action would you take, and why?

Answer 4: I would raise to $2.40 as I have a strong hand equity 66.97%. I could hit 3 of a kind or even a Full House.

Lesson 8: Homework

Question 1: Post a hand for evaluation. (Post your hand in the No Limit: Hand Evaluations board, and provide a link to your hand in your private thread.)

Answer 1: Poker Stars 450+50 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t50/t100 Blinds - 2 players - http://www.handconverter.com/hands/2442894
The DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter

Hero (BTN/SB): t5805 58.05 BBs
BB: t195 1.95 BBs

Pre Flop: (t150) Hero is BTN/SB with Jc 3h
Hero calls t50, BB checks

Flop: (t200) 7c 5s 7h (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

Turn: (t200) Ks (2 players)
BB checks, Hero checks

River: (t200) Jh (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets t100, BB calls t95 all in

Final Pot: t390
Hero shows Jc 3h (two pair, Jacks and Sevens)
BB shows 3d 5h (two pair, Sevens and Fives)
Hero wins t390

I am heads-up with the final player who is very tight.

Preflop: My equity 45.26% I had a week hand but just called.

Flop: My equity now is 33.65% and I check.

Turn: My equity is still very low and I just check.

River: My equity is high 72.92% I bet the BB all-in and came 1st in the game with 6 players.

Question 2: Evaluate one of the hands submitted by other members. ( Choose a hand from the No Limit: Hand Evaluations board and post your own evaluation in the thread. Post a link to the hand you have evaluated in your private thread. You can evaluate as many hands as you want, but try to choose hands not yet evaluated by other users first.)

Answer 2: My Link for the Hand Evaluation:
RE: NL2 KK Zoom.
RE: nl 5 River.

Question 3: Consider the following situation:

$100 NL Hold'em (9 handed)

Stacks & Stats:
UTG ($100)
UTG+1 ($100)
MP1 ($100)
MP2 ($100)
Hero ($100)
CO ($100)
BU ($100)
SB ($100)
BB ($100) (18/15/3.7/23/732)[VPIP/PFR/AF/WTS/Hands]

Preflop: Hero is BU with 8heart , 9heart
4 folds, Hero raises to $4.00, 3 folds, BB calls $4.00

Flop: ($8.50) 3heart , 6Heart , 8diamond (2 players)
BB checks, Hero bets $5.50 BB calls $5.50

Turn: ($19.50) Jheart (2 players)
BB checks, Hero...

What action would you take, and why?

Answer 3: I would go all-in as Hero's equity 94.97% with a flushdraw.

BONUS Question 4 (optional question): Consider the following situation:

$200 NL Hold'em (6 handed)

Stacks & Stats:
MP2 (Hero) ($327.95)
MP3 ($207.45)
CO ($415.55) (TAG)
BU ($373.60) (TAG)
SB ($200.00)
BB ($218.00)

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 7heart , 8heart
Hero raises to $7, 1 folds, CO raises to $23, BU calls $23, SB folds, BB folds, Hero calls $16

Flop: ($72) 7club , 8spade , 8diamond (3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, BU bets $52, Hero calls, CO calls

Turn: ($228) Kdiamond (3 players)
Hero checks, CO checks, BU checks

River: ($228) Qheart (3 players)
Hero bets $110, CO raises to $340.55 (All-in), BU folds, Hero?

What factors and concepts that you have learned so far would you use in evaluating this situation? What would your action be?

Answer 4: I would go All-in as Hero has made his Full House. His equity 97.38%

Good job on the last 2 homeworks !!!

L7, Q:

While I'm not a tournament coach I think that you should not call this really weak hand preflop. Postflop looks fine.

L8, Q:

Again it's a tournament hand (and this a cash game beginners course) but I think you should have not played that flop passive 4 way. I wouldn't check back but rather bet.

The rest looks fine.
