This is my first hand sitting down in the BB at a Paradise 1/2 -- 8 players.

UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls,
Button calls, SB calls, Hero checks in BB with Jh3c.
6 players.

Flop-- 4h6dJs

SB checks, Hero checks,UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, CO bets, button raises $2 (all in), SB calls, Hero re raises $3,
UTG+1 folds,MP2 calls, CO calls, SB calls.
4 players (1 all in)

Turn-- 4h6dJs 5s

SB checks, Hero bets, MP2 calls, CO calls, SB calls.

4 players

river-- 4h6dJs 5s 2s

SB checks, hero bets,MP2 calls, CO calls, SB folds.

Does anyone play this differently? I decided to post this hand because the flop put me in the unique decision of folding or 3 betting! I opted on three betting because the
re raiser was all in (he had a set of sixes) but all in raisers usually go in with anything out of frustration.

I'm not concerned with the turn play after I picked up the straight draw and certainly not with the river value bet, but I knew someone on the flop had to have at least a Jack with a higher kicker. Does anyone fold this flop? The fact that it all turned out well is irrelevant to me.



MP2 had JhTh and CO had JdQs.

Definitely fold on the flop. 3 bets for top pair no kicker with no draws (except runner runner) is no go in my book.

That's pretty much what I was thinking. I wasn't thinking I'll three bet and maybe I'll pick up a straight draw. I figured it was possible that the intial bettor was just betting middle pair and the all in raiser could've raised with anything so by re raising I could knock out a large part of the field.

I need more feedback! Is the flop 3 bets standard tight aggressive or just maniacal?

That second one. Facing two cold with TPNK in this small pot is an easy fold.
