rofl! GL unam

I have installed the teamspeak software and can here you talking. How do i get to the see the tables ?

I dont have a pokerstars account...is it neccesary?

Hi,

I hope you enjoyed the coaching, here is the promised diary entry, first of all thanks to all the listeners, I was surprised there were so many of you, I hope to see you again.
Hmm if I had to rate my own play I would say, I was good at low blinds, very loose at mid blinds and good at the bubble, but I sucked at the HU, because I couldn't adjust fast enough, but that won't be a problem in the next coaching I think. The typical problem when playing an unknown limit on an unfamiliar site.

Here 2 hands, that were interesting.

I reraised small on the fop, because I only had to protect against the Flush, and thought he wouldn't bet it on button, but take the freecard, on the turn I still thought I had the best hand and was against either a poket or an Ax, but I decided to give a freecard to make a vlaue bet on the river, but with the 1 card flush there was no value bet left, so I checked it an won vs A 3 :diamond:.
I played the hand pretty bad, I should have raised higher on the flop, not to protect, but because there are so many cards that might scare him and kill the action. I still wouldn't bet the turn, to get some value on the river.

Results:
Final pot: t7500
BB showed Tc 9s

I called him in this hand, because 2 or 3 hands before this he called me down with TP, so IMHO he wouldn't shove a Q here, and when he had a draw I was ahead of him and I killed some of his outs with my K, so I made the call and the best hand won. Without problems ;).

OK I think this is enough of an update, after every coaching the "player" will write some words here, and we will keep records in the OP.

I hope we all have fun with this little project.

Best
Manu

You don't need an account, but you need the Software.
When you have it (Pokerstars.com don't download the playmoney software) you have to look for the screenname or the tables.

gonna finish this post later ...
atm my old grafik board is crushed and therefor i have to care for my pc before making my other coaching

in short:
I lost 4.70$ last coaching

Today was not that great, I lost 1 BI, which is 1.2, but I really run bad at the moment, so this wasn't a total disaster and we are both optimistic to beat this limit.

Here is the best hand of the coaching.

preflop, flop and turn should be ok ...

why not push the river?

when raising the river myself i think it should be kinda obvious for my opponent that i could have a 1card straight here ...
so my opponent should ONLY raise here, when having me beat... on the river just A2 or 22 would make sense i think, because they are slowplaying top pair/trips very often...

he could have slowplayed another full house aswell (33 - very unlikely because of the 3 in my hand) or 55 ...

so those are the hands a REASONABLE player would raise once more ...
and thats why i was just calling his reraise on the river to not go broke against a FH and the chances to get called by trips were pretty low ...

but because there was a chance he had just trips (which he would have totally overplayed on the river) i called his reraise

busted twice
no first place
twice second
three times third

total winnings: 2.40$

because today nothing really interesting happened i want to show you a funny hand:

Final Pot: t3760

preflop is standart i think but why push the flop?

he was calling me very lose so far and there he might not have an A
if he does the likelyhood of holding a diamond decreases so i would have 11outs then so i am about 50:50 and there is deadmoney in the pot

if he has a J he can fold thinking i have an A

TT etc he could fold aswell ... and therefor a push is ok in my eyes
