Putting some very standard hands up here for people to make comments on. I think for now all of the hands I'm going to post are going to be MTT. I think that there are too many differences between MTT and Cash obv.

Feel free to post any thoughts, comments, praise, or abuse!


As said before these will all be very standard hands. I think what was hardest for me to learn in poker was how a standard hand should play out.


First hand:


Villain was a maniac who pushed A8o to a bunch of limpers (some sort of squeeze). Only to have the BB call him with AKo. A8 sucked out in that hand and gave him a decent amount of chips.

optiimus5 lost -720

Second hand: Villain is very passive calling station, I was honestly surprised to see him with a hand. I could have very easily C-bet against him here, and I don't think he's the type that would check raise bluff, but I decided to play it passively not really caring. I'd much rather give him 300 chips then make a bad move and give him a stack.

A limp from MP is almost always a weak ace, small PP, or SC's. Sometimes it's absolutely nothing and just someone who can't lay down cards. Limper in question limped in about 30% of the time, was 0 for PFR, so obv we play this one with caution if he plays back at us.

This is what happens when your maniac wakes up to a hand. I didn't check raise (should have once I saw how short the call made me, stupid on my part) because I thought he would fold it. Horrible horrible play on my part. I got greedy certain that I had the best hand here against his ATC. Turns out he actually had a hand. Oops. One mistake is all it takes.
