Not sure if this kind of thing will work, but I thought it was an interesting change from the standard hand analysis.



The Setup.
We've been at the table about an hour. Both sitting on $45 stacks preflop. There's a couple of semi loose passive players and a weak tight guy + you and me.

I'm 22/15/2 , which is pokertrackerese for Tight Aggr, though if I played a few more hands preflop I'd be semi loose aggr.
I usually continuation bet, almost always when HU. Aggr on the turn with a hand, though I will bluff if I have a read+right kind of board.


6 max NL HE, .15/.30 blinds

You (button) $45
Me (Cutoff) $45

Folds to me, I raise to $1.20 - my standard 4x raise

You have

What do you do?




For those that want to answer, please type in a different color for your response so I can respond in that color if you happen to choose a different action than someone else (if you choose the same action, use the same color). I will probably have answers that go deeper into one or two hands before others just based on timings of the posts and the way the hand develops. You can add in your reasoning but don't have to. Also, obviously I know your hand, but will base my actions on your actions. Still I'll provide you further reads on me as we play.

Hi:

I will raise to $5

[miandsh2000]

call and hope to hit the flop and catch you in one of you 'almost always' continuation bet moments when HU. if i dont hit can either get out or continue on - based on my read+right kind of board.

smoove-call. intend to raise your c-bet on safe flops and some more dangerous ones, including some Ace-hi

[Irish Se7en]

calling, I want to see the flop.


What were our starting stacks? Have either of us showed down a hand yet? Since we play very similar it's going to be interesting how we both play the flop.


Great post

[FL70]

I re-raise to $6.

[Poboy]

smooth callers - yellow, blue, green
(we started pretty close to where we are. Shown down a few hands, no outrageous bluffs, but unless I'm getting lucky cards I've probably taken a few with missed hands.)
The blinds fold, and the flop comes

(Pot is $2.85)

I bet $2.40



raisers - orange, magenta

I'd like to wait a bit so as not to influence the smooth callers, and in case others want to jump in.

[Irish Se7en]

Though my 9's could be good, I have only 1 of 2 options. Reraise you or fold. I don't want to just call you and hope to hit a set because now you coud have hit your straight if you happen to have a T. Also, you could have Ad/Kd and if I hit the 9d's, I'm done unless the board pairs on the river.

So in the end, I'm throwing this hand away.

[jojobinks]

a raise to $7 takes it down...or we hit the gutshot...or we give up. but i think our hand is often best here.

Pre-flop: Flat call, in position.


Post-flop: Flat call, to see what you do on the turn. (I wanna see if you'll fire again with AJ or give up on your c-bet with A-K).


With the stacks as deep as they are I can afford to take one off. I think my 9-9 are good, but I wanna be sure before I play back at you, you'll let me know on the turn.


Flame on...
