DAY 67 - 03/19/07 - The Weak Lead


Today: +4.00 + $10.00 Bonus = +$14.00
To go: $255.46
Bankroll: $2244.54

6-max: 851 hands *** 2.42 hours *** 16.30/11.05

Full Tilt offered me a free $100.00 bonus with no deposit required. I have 14 days to clear and I should do it no problem. I really like getting back to Full Tilt after playing on stars. Still trying the TAG style averaging about 16/12. Very swingy chart today and pulled off a profit after being down about 1.5 buyins.

I've been running into a certain move lately. It's known as the "weak lead." Say you have AK on the button and make a standard raise. EP limper or Blind calls. Then they lead out into you??? What do you do when you miss? I tried taking the agression standpoint tonite. Raise it up. Seemed to work. It depends how strong their bet size is too.

Examples:

KQo on the button: http://www.pokerhand.org/?920487 . I raise on button and blind comes out firing on flop. I raise him to 3x and he calls. Turn he fires again? I raise to 2.5x and he calls?? River he fires out 3rd time out of position. I smooth call fearing Q-10 obv. I don't think I can raise a 3rd time here after he shows strength on every street? What do you think?

JJ: http://www.pokerhand.org/?920493 . This hand I should have folded. His lead bet was strong. $5 into $6. Instead I get fancy and he insta-calls with Q-10. NH sir. Q-10 out of position is awesome.
