    Default Why can't Poker be always like that?

    what the hell was he thinking LOL...bets out with mid pair and no serious draw whatsoever.

    With the straight flopped right away and the flush coming this is comfy poker the way I like it Well, a straight flush would've been nice but I can live without it!

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

    Hero (t1470)
    MP1 (t1300)
    MP2 (t2270)
    MP3 (t2100)
    CO (t1140)
    Button (t1270)
    SB (t2250)
    BB (t1580)
    UTG (t1680)

    Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with A, 5.
    UTG calls t30, Hero calls t30, 2 folds, MP3 calls t30, 3 folds, BB checks.

    Flop: (t135) 2, 4, 3 (4 players)
    BB bets t90, UTG folds, Hero calls t90, MP3 folds.

    Turn: (t315) T (2 players)
    BB bets t150, Hero calls t150.

    River: (t615) 6 (2 players)
    BB bets t150, Hero raises to t300, BB calls t150.

    Final Pot: t1215

    Results in white below:
    BB has 3h 9s (flush, ten high).
    Hero has As 5s (flush, ace high).
    Outcome: Hero wins t1215.

    I don't mind his bet on the flop - he's caught a piece of a fairly safe board and IMO mid pair has an excellent chance of being best here. I slow down when the flush cards start coming though.

    Why would you even limp from UTG+1????
    Crazy
    A good education is expensive but ignorance costs more.

    It was early in the tourney, so why not?

    I've done this often and it works about 90% of the time.

    Maybe it's because it's the micro buyin tourneys, dont know.

    I probably would have done the same.
    Recently I've been limping a lot in the early stages of a tourney (blinds = level 1, 2 and sometimes 3.) If you're at a table where no one is raising PF, why wouldn't you?

    If there have been several hands that have gone unraised pf, I don't mind limping UTG with a suited Ace. But only do this if you promise not to put more money in the pot short of 2 pair, flush draw or str8. Don't get outkicked with a pair of Aces.

    if the tables are passive than position doesnt matter as much.

    why the hell dont you raise more on the river?
