here's a hand that I played recently and would be interested to hear advice on:
fairly tight game, 3h3c comes to me in the sb.
3 limpers and I complete. bb checks.
flop comes: 3d Kc 8h
hazaah.
the guy on my left has been making a lot of suspect bets/raises and people have been getting fed up with him and calling him down. So I think I'll let someone, probably him, bet this one then raise on the turn. With no flush or straight draws out there I didn't think I needed to really put a lot of pressure on. I check, it gets checked around.
turn: 3d Kc 8h 3s
how bout that. normally after it getting checked around I'd bet away hoping to be read as a steal and have one or two of those determined souls that call me down when I actually am stealing pay me for a couple bets. However with the 3 pairing and my being in the sb and all I was concerned that I'd appear to have tripped the 3. Plus I expected someone to bluff at it. It'd been happening frequently with paired boards. So I check and it gets checked around.
River: 3d Kc 8h 3s Ad
okay. the A hit. even if someone doesn't have it they've got to bluff at it don't they? so I check and it gets checked around.
so what do the experts think? was I greedy and stupid or just unfortunate that nobody at that table had been eating red meat that day? thanks for the advice.
