Hand Histories for REVIEW!

[gnk2727]

Hey GT your thread really got me thinking about getting to posting some of the hands I had trouble with, no difference whether I won or lost. I want to figure out if some of the plays I am making are bad, and you were always a great help in de-cyphering the HH best.

So without further adieu I bring you the 1st of many:

Full Tilt Poker, $0.10/$0.25 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
- Hand History Converter

SB: $25
Hero (BB): $33.81
UTG: $18.60
CO: $37.26
BTN: $45.74

Pre-Flop: A K dealt to Hero (BB)
UTG calls $0.25, 3 folds, Hero raises to $1, UTG calls $0.75

Flop: ($2.10) J K 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets $2.10, UTG raises to $17.60 and is All-In, Hero calls $15.50

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
UTG is/was a hybrid of a LAG/TAG, meaning he played about the top 30% of hands and only raised the top 6% or so. I had a fairly good read on him, and I thought he was on a draw or a set......

What could he possibly have here and why is he reraising so much??

On the flop is where I make 99% of my mistakes, and its usually against 2 pairs or sets and Im usually facing a reraise. SO I'd really like some input on these HH.

I will post the results after I get some responses here..............

the limp call makes me want to say that he has KJ, and is pushing all in because of the flush draw on the board. if he plays 30% of his hands this is in his limp calling range.
as Tont G would say, never call with KJ. unless you know your going to flop 2 pair.
just my guess.

nice post can't wait to see how it turns out.

Turn: ($37.30) J (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


River: ($37.30) 3 (2 Players - 1 is All-In)


Results: $37.30 Pot ($1.86 Rake)
Hero showed A K (two pair, Kings and Jacks) and LOST (-$18.60 NET)
UTG showed J K (a full house, Jacks full of Kings) and WON $35.44 (+$16.84 NET)


Here's the final outcome. Not a bad play on his part, certainly something that was in his range. I really gotta learn to let go of TPTK.............

i would say this is just a cooler. as AK crushes KJ. he made a donk play OOP and it worked for him. preflop your a 3 to 1 fav. the only thing he didn't do was donk lead into you post flop with a min bet.

no surprise he was the short stack at the table. tuff spot hard to lay down AK there. but the shove should have tipped you off about his hand. he seems to ready to get the money in the pot. but i think that i would have called to.
