Reasonable session of almost an hour with a mix of $1/2 and $2/4 games. Only problem was tables were breaking up extremely quickly which made it tough to find another juicy one constantly.
One table only lasted one orbit of 4 hands. The first hand I had T3o in the BB, so obviously folded that to a raise. The rest of the hands are as follows. Would you have played any differently?
Hand 1:
Hero: Post SB $0.50
ys007: Post BB $1.00
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Erind
Dealt to Hero [HJ CQ] (my surprising often played hand)
Dealt to ja272532089
Gringoman: Fold
ja272532089: Raise (NF) $2.00
UNDeSAZAR: Fold
Erind: Call $2.00
Hero: Call $1.50 (this is a pretty loose call i think ...)
ys007: Call $1.00
*** FLOP *** [C7 DQ D7]
Hero: Check
ys007: Check
ja272532089: Check
Erind: Bet $1.00
Hero: Raise (NF) $2.00 (lets see where I stand)

Erind: Raise (NF) $3.00 (oh oh ... but i'm seein a showdown here)
Hero: Call $1.00
ja272532089: Call $1.00

Hero: Check
ja272532089: Check
Erind: Bet $2.00
Hero: Call $2.00 (definitely showin down now. hope for an overcaller even, and that i'm not up against quads)
ja272532089: Call $2.00
*** RIVER *** [D5] (flush draw hit ... but since i'm full already it doesnt make a difference)

I've moved to NLHE these days, so need to think back.
For what its worth, I don't think that you're losing too much value 6-max raising any 2 broadway cards and then deciding postflop.
Assuming you did that ...
1) Raising the flop, then calling down on resistance.
2) On flop you had 2 cahnces to get away, then getting lucky with the J actually put you in a tough spot but committed. An A may have been worse against AK.
3) Things are now a bit loose, I wouldn't c-bet given the 2 previous hands.
In reality, I would often play the hands just like you did or vastly different. The good things is that as long as you're aggressive with reasonable starting hands and mix it up a bit post flop you'll do quite well.
If you wanted a more scientific look at it, run it through pokerstove with hand ranges in there and see what your EV was throughout, I'd be interested in the results.
yep i'll wait and see if i get another comment and then post results.
stove is probably useful, but problem is at these levels half the time they can have almost any 2 ... even with a 3bet which is bizarre...
I know this is your own blog, but convert ? =).
I think you played all three hands very well, although I probally would've taken the more aggro approach in Hand 2 on the turn, but I'm a spew monkey.
Thing is I see you are applying some concepts wrong. H1, unless you are wiling to fold to the 3!, then its not really an information raise, more of a protection/value. But I don't see whats hands in villians range that beat you other than kq (have you seen him CC aq?), and the ony 7s in his range which are probally 67s,78s,79s,a7s while you beat all the lower PP,QT-8 etc.
good points guys gives me something to think about. I guess with hand 1, I was thinking I was raising for value there, but wasn't sure what to do against the reraise, other than pretty much call down.
I definitely didnt want AK drawing cheap and would have preferred they folded.

I'm not sure on what handconverter is good. This was actually on ipoker - do any converters work there? If so, flick me a link!! Sometimes i'm still on prima/microgaming as well.
I just found out the 2p2 converter does bodog though .. will see if i can get it to work.

enjoy ;).
Nice work ... keep raising those broadways preflop. As you said, they can be playing anything at these levels so you'll be ahead more often than not.
cheers guys.
dont happen to know a hand converter for microgaming as well by any chance?
