Been strapped for time recently with poker so not played much, hence the bronzeness :( figure I should definately post some hands now I'm playing again.

At a higher limit I'd like to think I'd fold the turn for fear of domination here but at the 6s I find it hard to fold...

Uhh I think the flop raise is too small too ^^

If you c/r flop then lead out the turn, line c/r flop and c/r turn does not make sense at all.

Also, I don't see any weaker hands that called your c/r on flop and bet turn again


Bet/fold is bad because you have no chips left
check/calling is also bad, because you will have no chips on the river and you must call that small bet.

so c/f or shoving
when you make that check/raise on the flop checking is very weak
So shoving is best

When you have around 45BB stack this check/raising is not optimal, because you are making a big pot and if you are called you can get out of the tournament with TPTK

maybe best is leading flop/ and fold to big bet

You may consider isolating RR the MP1 and fold to 3bet preflop
If you are called you have the initiative and cbeting good flops OOP with shove

Kinda agree with this. But I'm going broke on the flop if I lead, even though it's not a great flop. check/raise/folding isn't bad though.

BTW raise way more on the flop. Something like 350 flop. Shoving and check/folding turn are both OK, I think they have similar expected value.

EDIT: I kinda like the call pre ;). AQo I'd muck straight away though.


Ty everyone. I also like leading the flop and going broke; like I said in my OP, I can't believe I'm dominated often enough at this limit to fold.

Preflop I'm re-raising.. I can't call oop... Just not my style I guess lol

Flop you gotta raise more... Atleast 270 but I think most of the time I would be going for 300 - 350 because of the drawy board... And I would be happy going broke on that flop... ul if he has you beat there...

as played you have to either lead out on that turn by pushing or check/folding.... Check/shoving with your smallish stack doesn't look to smart to me... could be wrong tho

I think call > fold > raise in this spot. Raising just commits way too much of your stack OOP with what is not really that great a hand. You're effectively turning your hand into a bluff here, because opponents shouldn't (not saying they won't ;) ) continue with worse hands (eg hands you dominate) in this spot.
