lelly01WinFlush to the King19200.00 63765.00Hand 1 - 3 limpers and JJ in the big blind? Should be a meaty raise. You want to get it HU ideally as jacks can be tricky to play multiway and OOP. As played you could raise the flop and GII vs worse as you're so under-repped. It's a very co-ordinated board and you have 3 people in the pot with you, plenty of draws/pairs and draws that will come along for the ride if you put them to the test, but its not a great flop for you. EDIT....are you just calling the minimum to keep up the weak pretence? It's a risky play and means you have to play pretty disciplined down all streets.
Hand 2- think limping or raising is fine pre, will depend on who is in the BB. Half pot on flop is fine (though does look like you're just pressing buttons with little thought behind it) Once they call that flop, they probably have something, so if you're gonna bet the turn, which is good, it should be more than a min bet. TBH come the river I can see why you'd call cos you look so weak and its a good card for the villain to rep. Think there are merits to bet (a decent amount, not 800!)/folding and check/calling the river, depending on the villain.
PS, better if you blank out the names of others involved in hands, if you want fully impartial advice and thoughts.
Min betting and min raising will always put you in difficult spots. You keeping most an opponents range in and can make it very difficult to know whether or not a hand should be layed down. When making an aggressive raise you should get a beeter idea of what hands will be in the range and you can get it in more frquently whilst still ahead
H1 You'll be sitting ahead and holding the best hand but it's a very vunerable one. The last thing you want is a multiway pot. now this you should make a raise 5BB+ to push some of the callers away leaving it HUs.
If your not raising it pre you've got to lead out on the flop charging any draws and over cards to continue. It's pointless playing the hand and you might as well have folded preflop if your only intention was to min bet and call because as the streets where on JJ will begin to lose all it's value and end up being folded. macman has gone pots ize on the river but 5 shouldn't normally be in his range and he could well be bluffing a missed flush draw thinking you'e a weak hand yourself.
H2 preflop and flop are fine but on the turn you must bet larger, the A might scare away 8x and 5x but it shouldn'ts top Kx or flush draws and he does have position. Doing the min betting as you did is what made you lose as much as you did, he's in position sees lots of weak bets making the river card a good bluff card and you make what most will say is a good decision and lose against the flush.
A standard raise is 3BB during the early stages and 2BB in the late stages. My adjustment comes down to how many big blinds are in the chipstacks, the strength of my hand, how it’s equity will fare post flop, my position and the number of limpers.
1010-QQ AJ-AK KQ all great equity but the last thing you want is a multi way pots so a chunky raise is whats best. During the early (sometimes mid) stages it’s deepstacked meaning the loose players will caller larger bets and play a wider range so a raise will 3-6BB depending on position and amount of limpers. If I'm sitting in the blinds and have a lot of limpers a raise will 8bb+ knowing how much wider they call.
In the mid to late stages 3BB is usually done when sitting UTG and UTG+1 because you want to keep the callers low and players do now start to tighten up. In late position it’s usually 2-4BB depending on how much limping is made. If I'm in the blind it could be anything from a standard SBvBB raise to a 3bet AI with 20 or less BBs depending on how big the opponents chipstack will be to a small 3bet or how short stacked he’d be if he were to call that way you'll know when an AI flop can lead to a fold and when hit's best to make the jam preflop. If the pot is a multi way limped pot then 5-7BB is recommended or just go AI. EDIT: If it's something like KQ or 1010 then check could be best because these hands wil get into an awful lot of bad flops and when sitting OOP last thing you want is an knowing you could have lack of equity post flop,
When you play in the main event you’ll be up against decent players who make notes of you, put you on hands and read the boards well. What you need to do here is keep your betting at a balance with both your decent hands and the weak ones that way it’ll be harder for players to read you meaning you’ll keep in those which are behind as well as those sitting ahead. Cbetting AK and AQ high a great example of this. You might not be ahead but you do have 2 over cards on most flops and will hit the card sometimes. What’s best is that you’re QQ KK or AA will get more worse hands making the call.
During the late stages your intention is to keep the pot low with intent to make a hero call on the river or ensure all in on the turn if not get the stack size which allows you to call most river cards. A common method used to help get stronger hands get more value is playing a high card flush draw agressive. High card flush draws will give us 9-15 possible outs depending on what the opponent is holding and what our second suited card is. What we’ll do is build up the pot with an aggressive cbet to help scare weak hands away and then we’ll either take the free card or double barrel jam if the pots small still small enough in relation to the chipstacks and it’s turn card is a good on to use. If your hand is good but extremely vulnerable and possibly behind then it's about keeping the pot small and allow your opponent to attempt a river bluff. It’s worth making the odd check with a good hand as well ensuring your opponent will take more care with his bet sizes when doing a bluff.
mattbates and tommyD will know alot more but this here will help with the basics of being able to use aggression to prevent you running into difficult spots and being able to balance your range.
Due to it's length I didn't get round to correcting the grammer but i've did that now, also you'll notice an edit mark where i've put a bit of info about when it might be best to just check or complete the SB during a multiway pot .
