Hey, I feel silly after this hand. I tried to represent a flush. I know I have to small stack on the river to create enough portion of FE (obvious mistake). What do you think about this hand? Sorry for a raw text, the convereter doesn't work well.

At the $7 level you have all types of players. Villain called all streets with 2nd pair ok kicker! I feel it's better to play more ABC poker at this level. You had no reads on this player - now you know that some players will stack off without top pair!!

Hi,

Recently I started focussing at the Spin n Gos and I wrote down 3 situations where I don't really know how to play.

- 3 handed in an early stage, facing a minraise from the button with an ace or a decent king in the sb. I made most of the time a 3bet but I didn't feel very confident about it, because it was hard to play out of position when I missed the flop. I read that a call isn't very good either because the bb will get a nice squeeze opportunity. Hopefully I can get some of your toughts, if I should keep 3betting and how I should continue the flop once I miss it.
- 2 handed in an early stage, facing a 3x 3bet after my minraise with hands like j7s-qj or marginal kings and small aces. In these early stages I often don't have an idea if he 3bets often or not. I wonder if it's worth calling 3x 3bets ( I guess 2x or min- 3bets are worth calling with the marginal hands). I thought about factors like, I am in position with some equity but I simply don't have the lead and probably he's a head. I didn't made it to an conclusion..

-At flops with one pair (and one low card) like 338. When I have a hand like 68-t8. I am in position but the player in front of me decides to bet. I don't really know if I should just call him or 3bet (jam) him. When I 3bet (jam) I don't think I will get called by hands worser then mine but I feel like I have to protect my toppair against the turn and the river.

Hopefully I can get some thoughts from you guys because I don't have the experience, database or knowledge to solve these situations..

Thanks in advance,

Jesper

I'm fairly new to SPINS as well. I didn't feel I knew the best way to play hands also so I bought Coffeeyay's SPIN pack for

$300 US. I know that it can be expensive but so far I've learned a lot. I'm still going through it and it can be hard and

confusing at times. I won't comment on your hands because I'm still learning but Coffeeyay talks about the hands you should

play in each position and also why you should be more tight in certain positions. If you plan on playing alot and also want to

make it a minor hobby I would buy this pack. It's like reading a textbook - you need to read it several times to digest it.
