Unlearning to fly
Was up until about 3 a.m. this morning playing at Drew's -- he has this sweet new octagon-shaped wooden poker table.
I'm finding that as I continue to play poker, I'm constantly having to "unlearn" tips I picked up in the early days, namely a tip either from Lou Krieger or Lee Jones for beginners -- "Look for reasons to fold."
Anyway, any thoughts on these hands would be appreciated.
1). $2/5 NL, Beau Rivage, Biloxi, Miss. I'm new to the table and don't have any reads on anyone. I have $1,600 at the table and most people cover me.
Cat: Raise utg with AQs to $20.
Chick in seat #5: Reraise to $120. About the same number of chips.
SB: Calls. Covers me.
Cat: ???
2). $2/5 NL, Beau Rivage, Biloxi, Miss.
Cat: BB with ATo.
UTG: Raise to $65. At least $2,500 in cash/chips. Folds around to cat.
Cat: ???

Especially with the deep stacks, I think a call could be merited in the AQs hand because you could win a lot of money if you hit big. I would just fold the AT hand.

Yeah. I agree. The second hand was with drunk guy. He showed KQo.

Definitely fold the 2nd hand. The first hand you might be ok seeing a flop. Most likely if the flop misses you it's a toss. But I'm thinking that you're up against at least pocket 10's or better pair.
