Not crying over it but thought it would be healthy to review my 3 biggest hands.
Started off at first table where I played one hand. Raised, was called. I missed c-bet and was raised and folded. The table breaks up and I leave $3 down.
Start up two tables. First table I initially drop $9 but carry on and eventually finish $18 up. Allw ell on good.
On the second table I notice a familiar name to my right as deadlydp joins the action. I end up $17 down on this table when I finish up. Three biggest losers below.

Ok standard bet and standard c-bet so far. He calls it so I think he has the following. Ax (x=K,Q,J,) trips, pair (66-10 or maybe 22 or 44)
*** TURN *** [Ah 3d 5s] [2h]
He has a stack size left of US$9 and pot size of $5.35. Tricky. I can check and control the pot size or I can bet strongly and try and get him all in by the river. Third option is a bet that Ax hands will call. I want to fold out the middle pairs and get a call from as many Ax hands as possible so I bet half pot.
Phillberto01: bets $2.50
x putter: calls $2.50
Mmm. I'd usually put his Ax range at AK or AQ now. Other option is trips. Against a decent player I would think I am behind now over half the time - as this guy is a short stack I don't give him that credit. He could be hanging around with a weaker Ace or even refusing to give up on a decent high pair.
River comes.
*** RIVER *** [Ah 3d 5s 2h] [6h]
Flush hits but I can't see any way he has got this far with two hearts. It may encourage him to run a bluff though.
Phillberto01: checks
x putter: bets $3.75
He bets half his remaining stack. I reckon I'm behind over half the time here but not often enough to fold.
Phillberto01: calls $3.75
*** SHOW DOWN ***
x putter: shows [6d 6c] (three of a kind, Sixes)
Phillberto01: mucks hand
x putter collected $17 from pot
He made a very loose call on the turn. He had 6 outs. 8-1 to hit. If he is going for implied odds he needs to make $17.50 to justify the call. Not far off actually. Slightly -EV play from him and he gets lucky.
Any other ways to play it?
Next hand. Same table.

Maybe I should have bet again to take it away here. I opt for pot control and check.

A scare card indeed. Flush gets there.
ZEWAINE: bets $9
Almost pot sized bet. Mmm he doesn't seem scared of the flush. 10 J got there on the turn KQ now beats me. Did he call with Ah10h maybe. or 10hJh or 9h10h. If it is a bluff it is a good one. I have to put give him credit for a hand here.

Pretty straight forward I think. His reraise is likely to be a big pocket pair or AK. I call with an 8-1 chance to hit trips. Need to take a $20 pot down if I hit. Think that is likely enough so call. Miss and fold. Standard?
Deadly recovers his initial winnings and logs out a solid winner. Not my night however. Ah well at least I made inroads on my first deposit bonus. One decent session away from US$50 bonus. Some consolation. And internettexasholdem emailed me to say my books are on the way and gave me the registration code for Poker Ace HUD this morning.

The guy (x putter) on the first hand needs a slap! I noticed that having Thijs raising UTG a lot and my limping out of position cost me $10 fast when I sat down. I changed tack and got much more aggressive to get my money back and apparently my post flop aggro factor was very high! Logged out (bed time) $3 up. Congrats on the bonus and look forward to reading the books later :-) Also I have a new game for the PSP, do you want to borrow WPT?
I found this hand from a while ago....reason I gave up HU on FT as this is the lowest limit they offer!

Madness to slow play after the flop and even duller to call the all-in. It's possible I may have a drink......
Can't really comment on HU hands at those stakes with any first hand knowledge. I guess you have to be willing to get it all in with a draw sometimes but even so. I think the two hearts on the board give him a good reason to play it fast. I'd say your check raise actually over-represents your hand. When he puts it you all in after that I'd say you were beat.
I agree....i think watching too much High stakes HU on FTP had steered me in a bad direction. Actually play a lot more passive post flop now in HU, especially OOP.
You might appreciate this post I read yesterday they were talking about the concept of making sure you get your money in with a good hand..
and somebody posted this list>
What you need to get it all in.
Micro-stakes - Trips or better.
Low stakes - Two pair or better.
Mid stakes - Top pair - second kicker
High Stakes - K high.
Interesting concept which rings true.
PSP- WPT game sounds good - fancy a go of Tiger Woods?
I'm due you some money for password use. Do you want HK$ or neteller $?
HK$ would be nice..unless you want to transfer me some $ on Stars?
I've got Tiger Woods already - I'm playing WSOP TOC on the PSP, which I have to say is better than the WPT one...which I will lend you!
HK$ is fine so my bankroll remains intact. How long are you planning to continue with it? Your stats last night were I think around 22/12. I was playing around 17/17 on that table and usually about 20/17. The best SH plan is to never 'open' limp. You sometimes get odds to call behind which causes a little difference in the VP$IP and PFR (usually in the blinds) otherwise you aim for the same VP$IP and PFR figure. If I remember correctly you got raised a lot when you limped and you called and then folded to c-bet. 22/12 are decent full ring stats.
Err....
Thats 22% Voluntarily putting $ in pot and 12% Pre flop raising I can decipher. Target of same $ seems logical. I don't use any tracking at the mo, so can't follow that closely. It's not all stats though - you have to use the force too Luke......
Correct. Did you close your eyes and use the force to work that one out. I actually just play my cards and the table but it is a good general guideline, Yoda.
Actually they can be a good randomiser. If I havn't played many hands and I'm looking supertight I may throw a raise with 108o in position or 45s or whatever. Don't think its necessary at 25NL against 98% of players but no harm in getting into the habit now. Makes my range a bit less predictable.
