This one was poo To be honest when he shoved his money in I took the risk against him maybe having the flush...he didn't but it's the same guy as the hand before...
Ah, yeh ur right to just make the call here on a board with 2 pairs..... How about if the river was the 2 of hearts rather than the 3 to pair the board... ??? Posted by DOHHHHHHH
OK, If the river had come 2hearts I would have re-raised him 3/4 pot but i flat called cos if he can hit a full house he will! lol
omg Dohhhhhh....hahahahaha!!!! ok hubby just said to me that this is how I play... "you know when we take the dogs to the field and they just fly across the grass like lunatics? Well that is what you were like in cash...now you have a headcollar on and even though you still wanna pull you can't go to fast...maybe it makes more sence to you that way" CHARMING!!!! lol
In the KK hand you did nothing wrong (though maybe your preflop raise was a bit on the big side?) but once that flop comes down I would fistpump get the monies in asap. Even in the unlikely event he has the flush we are still about a 35% chance to win the hand.
With the other 2 hands I guess it's ok to limp in preflop with drawing hands at 2p/4p as nearly all the players like seeing flops and will pay you off if you hit big, but when you start moving up the levels you should try to raise whenever you want to enter a pot. Also, in the A4 hand, just say you had hit an ace on the flop rather than a flush draw, could you have got away from it if another player started betting into you?

Hi YB thanks for your reply, with the KK I bet big cos 20p seems to do nothing at this level and everyone still wants to join in but on a higher level this size raise would not be happening as I would expect the more advanced players to not be playing hands with no potential so I totally agree with you there
With the A4 hand if only the A had come down i would have immediately got away from it as I was looking for the flush and nothing else....the way i used to play I would get side-tracked with only the A and then leak money that way but I have stopped all that and keep in my mind what i was looking to hit, and if i miss I get out the pot.
When I first started having a go on cash I went to 5/10p and I was raising into pots rather than limping but I went down levels to learn properly as I would miss the flush but hit A high or 2 pair and play over aggressively when the hand is really not good enough...now I've moved down to gain experience and better habit's i find I have to limp more as they all like to call raises, limp and hit seems to be the best way here.
Can't wait to go up a couple of levels though as I feel I'm missing out on the more normal play but hey-ho we all have to start somewhere! lol
My thing here was...you don't have enough money on the table so get it all in if you think your ahead! I was not gonna let either baddie have a cheap river!
Right...dunno if this was correct or not...i had outs and this is my usual style of play but i lost...what do u think, was I right calling for the flush?
You aren't getting the right odds to call to hit the flush, but if you think your A and Q is live then it's the correct call.
But if we assume villain is loose passive (which most 2p/4p players are) and only raises pre with premiums then we should fold as its unlikely both cards are live.

Thanks YB, it was a stupid mistake really...this is where my lack of patience needs to improve!
