Posted by starbay: i couldn't believe the play also,you had a pair of j's with A kicker and one spade short of the nut flush after the flop,you should be raising big here to push him off the hand
Not to push him off the hand,obv. you want to get value from the hand instead of him folding,but he has to bet flop here obv. By the river he wants to have the pot big enough to get his stack in,by checking the pot doesnt get bigger,thus even if there is a normal bet on the turn and the guy calls,the pot is still too small to shove the remaining stack in
Yes, and wudn't one want to protect the hand and bet enough to riuin implied odds making the call a bad one even though he hits the river?
Blinds at 250/500, 2 limpers and you just re-raise? Dude, with 10bb, you're shove/fold, never...ever...EVER limp or min raise unless you're hoping to induce a shove, and even then I'd only be doing that move with like top 2% hands.
Horrible check behind on the flop, you had top top 3 way, why let people draw free?
No offense, but you played the hand about as bad as you possibly could.
First hand was standard shove, and a pretty bad call by tracy. Obvious he's playing SUPER wide, even considering how deep his stack is.

Posted by BeMyATMplz: Why do you check flop @ the AJ hand,that makes no sense at all,you wanna build a pot lol Also,if you raise vs. 2 limpers make it bigger than 3BB.
exactly what I was thinking. checking as the preflop raiser seems to be really useless especially when you hit TPTK. Giving the villain a free card is the worse thing you can do, unless you got the nuts/close to the nuts.

Hi guys!!
Hand 1: Easy fold preflop. With a very tight table, easy raise preflop + check/fold postflop. Hand 2: Raise preflop!!!!!! Yes, is big fish (nice call, lol) but we don´t need leave him enter in the hand. I bet in flop always with that board.
AJ on the BB, and theres already 1250 in the pot so you raise by 1000 to make it 2250 in the pot. He has to call another 1000 meaning its about 45%. You gave him the right odds to call. In fact you almost invited him into the pot. Rather than price him out you actually priced him in. You would have been better off checking.
As for not betting the flop, what the hell were you thinking. Given the pot was 3250 then you should have been betting at least 3k to drive him out. Checking TPTK was an early christmas present. You actually let him get to his hand.
Once you finally decide to bet you've given him outs when in fact a bet after the flop would have killed him stone dead.
