J6s from SB - Outs, outs, and some more outs...

[milesdyson]

Paradise Poker 0.10/0.20 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (8 SB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif, A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(8 players)</font>
Hero checks, BB checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 folds, Button folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls.

I raise this because I know I will get at least 4 callers. BB even coldcalls 2, so I get 5.

Turn: (10 BB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">BB raises</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, Hero calls.

I picked up queen outs with this card. So now it looks like I have 12 clean outs for the river. 3:1 against me, but I expect callers. It gets raised but I still have 4 others in the pot with me.

River: (20 BB) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, Hero folds.

Outs don't hit, just check/fold.

Final Pot: 23 BB
<font color="green">Main Pot: 23 BB, between MP1, BB and UTG.</font>

Well played?

I just bet the flop, but the check-raise worked here because the bet came from early position.

Yeah, I thought about that. If there wasn't an A and a K out there, I would've bet out. I just thought that surely someone would bet - and even from early position - since this had to have hit someone.
