    Default Three Plays To Analyze

    Firsty i am glad to be posting on the forum as i have been reading these forums for awhile now...

    Now i have been playing texas holdem for almost a year, and i enter a free tournament at our local RSL.. This is a NL Hold em up tournament which brings in many people... I have this tournament twice and find myself a passive player but past two weeks i have had some really bad runs, and wondering if anyone can give me advice on what i did wrong...

    Hand 1
    Blinds are 1000/2000

    I am UTG and get dealt
    I raise 3 x BB ($6,000) - I have two callers who are all in, only $300 more chips, i decide to call.

    Other Hands
    Player 2
    Player 3

    Flop/Turn/River


    Results
    Player 3 triples up with a flush.

    Now that was just bad luck?

    Hand 2
    Blinds are 500/1000

    I get dealt
    I raise 4 x BB - Everyone folds except a very loose player who goes all-in, another 2000. I call

    He Turns over:

    I figure i have about an 80% chance of winning this hand and thinking what an idiot to go all in on 88.

    Flop/Turn/River


    Results
    He wins with a set of 8's and then taunts me - did i do something wrong there?

    Hand 3
    Blinds are 4000/8000

    I am starting to get short stacked and the big blind was coming around (I had 12,000 chips).

    I get dealt:

    I go all in which I get 1 caller, who is a loose player..
    He turns over:

    Flop/Turn/River


    Results
    He wins with two pair and then taunts me how he felt "lucky" - i just cant understand how i get beat so many times when idiots call on crap hands and odds are incredibly low with their cards... Anything else i could of done?

    Yeah that was my thoughts, it just amazes me that these sort of hands people call with when i have strong hand either knock me out or leave me with a very short stack.

    How people get so lucky frustrates me incredibly.

    For hand 3, if the person who called was big chip stack and big blind, he made the right call.

    No bad plays, just bad luck.

    1) unlucky
    2) really unlucky
    3) really, really unlucky

    Not much strategy at all to each of these hands. 1) standard raise, easy odds to call 2) standard raise, easy call w/KK 3) back against the wall, best starting hand in HE, you want a call from Q7 and you got it.

    I think you just wanted to hear that it was bad luck. It was. Welcome to the forum.

    It's a good thing that they play like this.

    It's really important to understand why at more than a superficial level.
