[Closed] Was I too aggressive?

Hi - I'm a bit of a noob to this, but would appreciate some advice on a couple of hands that I played today. I was beaten by 3 of a kind in both. On the first I think I should have seen it coming, so perhaps I was too aggressive? On the second was I right to call down to the end?

Thanks!

a.) played it OK - you checked a drawy board at the end and minimized losses

b.) bad. calling a re raise pre flop with AJo (even AJs) is a bad move in general. think of hands you could beat and you will find out really quick that you can't beat most of the hands at this stage. You should give it up pre flop.

b ii.) post flop - bad. up and down, one over to the board and a backdoor. -> nothing in first place. he raised you on the flop and you only hit mid pair...100% beat - > fold (anyway you are not supposed to be in this situation since you should have folded pre flop)

alternatively you could have limped with AJ to see a cheap flop or flat call a small raise to go to flop and see from there.

note:
thats a tip for a simple micro stake game without deeper poker philosophy from an amateur


I think Nafrob missed the fact that is's Fixed Limit. :f_cool:


nevermind. go and play NL and remember what i said! :P


Thanks for the feedback. How would the advice change given that it's fixed limit?


1st hand the cap on the turn is deff an overplay


You have a special thread for FL hands evaluation, you better post this (and all the other hands that are worrying you) there: https://forums.pokerstrategy.com/forum/board.php?boardid=1383 ;)
