Not So Hot Anymore

2) Villian running 40/2/.5 or so and I didn't have him pegged as a station but rather as someone who'd fold the flop pretty often... I put him on an A, maybe AJ, and maybe a pair with a str8 draw. I was betting for value. I think the river bet was a bad idea. At the time I figured I wouldn't bet pot or stack off since he'd probably only call that with a hand like AQ for the str8. But now looking back, I think this may be a situation where checking behind on the river is the better part of valor, or at least a much smaller bet? I dunno..

3) This villian was running 62/7/.5. I originally put him on either a weaker A or a flush draw. Felt it was pretty much the same on the turn. Then on the river I thought the same and went for value. I think that was a mistake. My hand wasn't that strong and I don't see many hands worse calling me there. A lot of weaker aces have made 2pair... the flush didn't come so a flush draw is probably folding. Of course a set/2pair is coming along, and maybe a stronger ace. I think this was a time to check behind. Thoughts?

hi k2o4, thanks for letting your coach share your vid on that one thread, it was insightful. I noticed it concentrated alot on pre flop and flop play for the first half hour or so. I would bring up these hands up to him, because he seems like a good coach. edit* that's probably why you may have some minor leaks on turn and river play.. alot of the video didn't concentrate on possibly sniffing out bigger hands..

1rst hand: looks like he got lucky and hit 2 pair on you, or flopped or turned a set, maybe even river 999.

2nd hand: this one I know for a fact isn't your fault, if he did have AQ then that's just gay the way it turned out.

3rd hand: same analysis as the first hand, and possibly also had you outkicked.. you bet like you have the nuts, but you don't

I'm not really an experienced NLHE player as you are, but what I can offer some advice is on possibly mixing it up with the betting, ie. ur triple barreling.. I would use the check more on the flop and river to avoid situations like these.. if indeed you are infact beat, you will lose less $$z than you would if you got it all in the center. minor tweaks should be good, no biggy ^.^

Yeah cody I agree 100%, hand #3 is pure vomit. Hand #2 is the only one I feel like might have been still ok... I posted my reasons in the thread on low stakes forum.

newbie, I dun like that turn check cause a big part of what I see him having is a flush draw or some sort of gutshot and I don't want to give a free card. I think a smaller turn bet is ok and then check behind on the river.

RS, thanks for the comments but this one confused me to all hell:

I'm not sure what you're talking about =) I wish I had a coach, but sadly I'm without one. I'm not sure what thread you're talking about. I've made a few vids but only one I ever posted on LP.net and no one watched it, hehe. Maybe I'm completely missing something though =)
