    Default Did I play this right?

    I can't figure out how to use that hand converter (even read the sticky, what's an HH?), so I'll try and explain it.

    8 people playing

    My pocket:
    I raise a small bit, everyone calls

    Flop
    I raise a little more then last time, 3 fold, rest call

    Turn
    I raise alot more, 1 fold, rest call

    River
    I raise alot more, I'm reraised, other folds, I call


    I had straight 10-A, other had flush, clubs.






    How would you have played this? After the 3rd club fell, and he reraised alot, would you have folded because it's quite possible he has the flush, or called, because he just got a lower straight (what I thought). I didn't think he was bluffing, since I'd raised alot beforehand (that would be a dumb move wouldn't it?).

    Did I play this right? Was it just the luck of the cards I lost, or should I have anticipated the flush?


    Thank you!

    A Hand History is text file created and provided by the Site you played on.

    Without knowing Bet amounts, we can't begin to analyze this hand.

    Also, identify players by position, ie UTG, EP, MP, LP, CO, But, SB, BB, etc...

    I was Reraised Doesn't tell us anything.

    I don't remember betting amounts or positions. Where would I get hand history for pokerstars though, so I can better do this for the future.

    Thank you!'


    EDIT-
    Sorry, I put the wrong site. I meant pokerstars.

    Hit the HH button on the top corner of the window... Its a big number, just click that and a window will popup. It may be best to endable storing your HH's to the HDD (under options menu), so when you eventually get PT, you can go back and load all your old HH's into it.

    You should be able to request the actuall HH from stars if you ask, it too should be on the menu.

    another nice feature on most of the sites including PS is that on that hand history if a hand goes to a showdown and one person mucks their hand you can check what they had and this will help you to get a read on them, chasing, calling you down with bottom etc...
    If there wern't luck involed i guess id win everyone

    I dont like raising a small bit with AT, you dont want to see a flop.

    Flop
    I raise a little more then last time, 3 fold, rest call

    you flopped a belly buster, do not bet into a large field with a draw this weak.

    Turn
    I raise alot more, 1 fold, rest call
    ?
    ok - how much compared to the pot?

    River
    I raise alot more, I'm reraised, other folds, I call

    he probably had some kind of hand besides the flush. your call is somewhere between mandatory and horrid depending on stacks sized and the pot.


    I had straight 10-A, other had flush, clubs.

    Ummm is that ethical or legal even, isnt the point of mucking your cards that the other people cant see them?

    Of course!

    Rules state that you may ask your opponent to show you his cards if he/she mucks them.

    Psssssssssssssssh Unethical...
