Being Vulnerable

I had the bright idea to play the $5 Razz tourney last night. I realized it wasn't to smart after a series of three hands knocked me out. The third one was really just a position of needing chips so I was willing to gamble a little but the other two were both by the same guy and he was a guy who was willing to chase. I really can't blame him in the first one...well I can but...here it is.

I really hate this making the pot big so early in a hand but I am going to see a flop. The may be holding my outs but I want to see one.

I'm not getting away yet. There is a lot of money in the pot and nobody has a made hand. I don't like reraising the 2nd best hand here so I only call.

I stay the same but it looks like a actually improve. I bet again and get called down. Both players are chasing good draws better then my 8 and maybe better then my 7 if it hits.

I improve but get reraised. A check call may have been better as the only player that raises me probably has me beat.

He hit a better 7 and I lose a nice size pot. I think he had odds to chase here with all that money in the pot. I may also chase here. Nice hand for him and bad luck for me. The chat was interesting after the hand.

pokerenthusiast: n catch (and I meant it. I was vulnerable)
robertshoe: sorry =/
pokerenthusiast: no your not
pokerenthusiast: or you would have folded
pokerenthusiast: :)
robertshoe: to some extent, i don't like dishing out bbs :(

Really wasn't that bad a beat.

Anyway, I had this hand with him later and I think I made one mistake though I don't think he folds. He hadn't folded anything vs. anyone up to this point.

I bet call here as agro man reraises again. With a shorter stack I was willing to call with my 8 behind and take a chance.

Here I should have reraised or folded. I think I can make an argument either way. With 724 showing I could represent a made 7 but with my short stack I don't think he folds. He also appears to have a better hand.

I bet out here trying to show the made 7 but without reraising the street before it has no merit.

By his comments I think he may have already had the 7 but I'm not sure. He had raised with Ts and 9s behind and tried to use aggression to bully people. This was probably a hand I get away from if my stack is bigger.
