Message: [QUOTE="Aballinamion, post: 6705174, member: 289533"] Nice hand and well played. I hope you are opened to healthy criticism this is the reason you posted. And continue posting, this is good to me, to you and all the poker community engaged on learning. Right off the bat I say that you haven’t questioned yourself about limping! This is not good mate, no matter how much reasons you have to do so. That being said, we should be raising to 2.5x or 3x: by limping we are giving both the blinds (SB has to pay only 0.5 BB and BB has to pay nothing) a huge change to see the flop for free and hit whatever they have. We must charge the blinds, make them pay the price to see a flop or just collect the blinds. Check CardsChat course on the power of aggression, please. On the flop BB bets and we have no idea what this bet means. BB can have basically anything. We don’t know it because we haven’t raised preflop. Now, giving this is a coordinated board and we don’t own the nuts, we shouldn’t be slow playing here ever! We must raise for the flush draw or hearts (we don’t own any hearts on our range), and for the straight draws. What straight draws we are blocking? If we had 5x, 7x, 8x, 9x we would be blocking but here we are fragile so we must’ve raised for value and protection. On the turn it follows the same idea of the flop, we shouldn’t be slowing here, this is a terrible idea at the micros when we don’t own the nuts but instead a very strong value hand. On the river completes a flush and now we should be calling more than raising. Why? Because villain can fold any losing hands (as in fact, villain did it) and call us only with hands that have us beat. Best regards; [/QUOTE]
