[Closed] bad play or bad beat 4 hands 0.05/0.10

You played every hand correct.

Its all ok. You are not alone, if that helps.

Agree. I would play the same all these hands.

The TT you could be behind, but due to your stack size and your raise size its ok to go all in, you have equity to push.

cool just wanted to know i was doing so correctly thanks!

Berliner1982,

I have a doubt about the 4th hand with the TT.

The following is a quotation from the article "Shortstack strategy: Preflop game, React to raises behind me" (see the appendix at p.9)

Question 14: Your stack at the beginning of a hand is $2.00. You have two tens and raise to $0.40. One opponent raises behind you. Do you go all-in?

Answer b is correct. Your stack size : raise size ratio is $1.60:$0.40 or 4:1.

4:1 is exactly the borderline which decides that you don't go all-in with two tens (TT). If you would have had jacks or better or if your stack would have been smaller or if your raise would have been bigger you would have to go all-in. (End of quotation).

That's true that the pot is big, but there are two other players to react after me, so too many players at the pot any way. I would have fold.

I would like to hear your opinion.

Best regards

Your stack: 1.2$
Bet: 0.5$

ratio 1.2:0.5 = 2.4 : 1 -> according to the strategy it is call...

1) we call, players behind fold
our odds are 2.3:1 -> we need to win in at least 30% of the time
If we assume he was slowplaying a monster hand (which is not always true, since on this limit he could be overplaying hands like AQ-AJ )
anyway, against JJ+, AKs, AKo we have 33% equity -> enough

2) we call, 1 player behind calls
odds: 3.3:1 -> need to win 23% of the time
UTG range: JJ+, AKs, AKo
Second caller: 22-99, AQs-AJs, KQs, AQo-AJo, KQo

equity: 28% -> enough

3) we call, two players behind call
you need to win 18% of the time

First I felt like you are playing for a set value here, which means that you don`t have enough equity. But if we assume those 3 ranges:

PL 1: JJ+, AKs, AKo
PL 2: 22-99, AQs-AJs, KQs, AQo-AJo, KQo
PL 3: 22-99, AQs-AJs, KQs, AQo-AJo, KQo

then your equity is 25%, but if we assume UTG is holding AA-JJ, then it drops to 18%, which is still enough...
Considering the limit, I would conclude that move is +EV in any scenario...

@abundance

But we also have dead money in the pot, that allows us to call here as well. With that huge Re-raise from UTG+1, we might could assume that everybody else will fold. Even if not, we still have a chance to win big here.

If you feel uncomfortable to fold here, its ok as well, but their is a chance that we are ahead against an underpair to our Pocket TT from UTG+1. We will make a note after that hand about our opponents hand.

Thank you both xylere and Berliner1982 for your answers.

I am at the very beginning of the NL ring games and learning a lot from your comments.

Good luck to every body and Merry Christmas
