Never open limp. But he would have called a preflop raise anyway.
I don’t like the reraise on the turn. Call is better there i think.
As played i think a check is fine. But the raise isn’t horrible either. After he only calls your turn reraise though he could just have a weak ace. Overall it’s kind of a cooler.Raising the flop would be better than the turn. 2-1 on a call in the turn and your implied odds are high If you hit your flush. Call is prolly better though.
Check call is better because of this exact situation. You fold out his bluffs with a bet. He could jam the river with a lower pocket pair thinking he is good. But probably wouldn’t jam Id you check.
Check is better on the flop with one pair and first to act with weak kicker. It’s more of a check call kind of hand. It’s hard to put her in exactly J8 since she raised preflop though so i don’t hate the call after hitting 2 pair.
You just have to play your strong hands against them. 3b with your strong hands. And play tight aggressive. Sometimes you will get outdrawn. But over the course of time your good hands will crush his crappy hands.
Everyone pretty much nailed it as far as choices in play.
Those tourneys are hard to beat and you just have to get lucky and have fun.That’s why you don’t flat KK preflop hahaha
Playing the player and not the cards is a must in 1/3.
I don’t hate the open pre flop. It’s better than a limp. 1/3 can just be strange sometimes. As you can see with people calling only with KK.
I agree with Sam on all the sizing info. Maybe could size up a bit on the river.
Well done overall.
I had some experience with the Villian in this situation. I had beaten him on a hand previously.
I don’t remember the exact details of the hand. I know there was no straight draw out there.
My play def wasn’t optimal based on this table a 3bet was the best play for sure.
It was a crying call the whole way for me. I didn’t think he had the flush and i was ignoring the other caller. Def a what not to do situation and will lose money in the long run. However this table was very weak and i knew that also.
I agree with John. Raising the turn would be fine. I dont’ hate a call. You have to raise the river though. Otherwise why would you check. A case could be made for representing the flush and leading the river too. You def missed some value not raising the river. Slow playing is so 2010 😉
Heavily depends on players and many factors. Another example: if you find one op C-bets then gives up if someone calls the flop, then floating here could work. If he checks the turn then a bet can take it down. Being in position also helps in this and all situations.
You should be raising the button with your weaker holdings some of the time too. If you only raise with your strong holdings it because easier for your opponents to pin you on a hand. I’m more likely to call in pos, but raising is still better.
Good fold on the turn. He could literally have anything and you only have one pair.
It is tough to build from one buy in at a time. Variance is real. You need a bankroll of at leasts 30 buy ins and probably more. Its tough to save 10-20k just to start out though. I don’t have much experience starting from scratch, but you could try a few different things. Try saving 2-3 buy ins before you go to a session. Or you could just play ultra tight, but that isn’t going to be the most profitable.
I struggle with this too, because I don’t get to play as much as I would like. Worrying about losing the money and not making the right calls is not what you want to do though.The best play is a gold preflop. You are not going to be profitable in the long run playing those hands.
As played i think it is fine. Checking on the flop is ok and check raising the turn is fine.
What kind of range do you put the villain on?KJ off isn’t very strong especially multi way. On the button it would have been better for you to 3bet or fold like Brad said. As played it would be better to fold after the 3b. You are getting a good price but it doesn’t play well against multiple opp and you will just get yourself in trouble.
What do you put your opp on when he calls the flop and then jams the river? What does his range look like after calling a preflop 3b also?A raise preflop would have been a much better option. Without raise your opp range us everywhere. Raising will thin the field considerably.
Consider if you raise this hand and only get one caller. It is much more unlikely that your opp has a 5 in that situation.Never assume an opp is going to do something. Unless their cards are in the muck then they still have cards no matter how they are acting. Was it kind of shitty of him? Yes.
The way played then i would have most likely folded to the first all in. You have raised and have one caller already. And now all in. There are a lot of 5s in a limped pot like that. Especially with one more player to act.
