Hi all,
This is my first time posting on a forum so I hope I convey this informatively for plenty of analysis and feedback. Here goes. I have been playing poker for approx. 5 years and have read quite a few books. I also watch a lot of pro playing hands on you Tube. I am however what you call a fish and am certainly not a consistently winning player. I have plenty of enthusiasm however and am willing to learn.
I tried 30NL and would welcome feedback on the hand that I post below. I realise that this is way above my normal level but just gave it a go. Firstly some background to the hand that I wish to post. - I lost half my fist buy in on a pre flop raising war with junk and after rebuying lost my whole stack on an elaborate bluff! I shoved the river to get called with a flopped set! I since however doubled up after rivering a full house v Aces.
I think it's fair to say I had the reputation of a maniac and the player to my left was playing back a fair amount and was reluctant to get run over. I however was letting my ego get the better of me and was keen to boss the table (this is despite my acknowledging that I am a fish). I do think the player to my left would raise a wide range of hands to my raise and call an equally wide range making his range very wide pre-flop. The initial raiser in the hand below was in my opinion raising his strong hands 3x and his weaker range 2x - hence my raise on the button. That's a background to the hand - (perhaps a feeble attempt to excuse my bad play) I welcome your views (no matter how derogatory - please pile on the feedback) to the following (We are both have over 180BBS)):
