I picked up these two hands back to back immediately upon sitting down at a VP$IP 49% table:
Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (8 handed)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls, CO calls, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, BB calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, CO calls.
I get trapped in a raise, but I think a call is standard?
Flop: (10.50 SB) 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif, 3/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero calls, CO folds, Button calls, BB calls.
I count 5 solid outs (maybe 6) so I'm getting the pot odds to call. Is that right or would you fold?
Turn: (7.25 BB) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero calls, Button calls, BB calls.
Again, I think I have the pot odds to call, but should I be heavily discounting them with 3 clubs on the board?
River: (11.25 BB) T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, <font color="CC3333">MP1 bets</font>, Hero folds, Button calls, BB folds.
Straightforward fold, I think.
The next hand was a little more interesting:
Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with J/images/graemlins/club.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="CC3333">CO 3-bets</font>, <font color="666666">3 folds</font>, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls.
Is a cap in order here? I think SSH recommends capping with AA-QQ?
Flop: (16.50 SB) 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, CO calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, <font color="CC3333">MP1 3-bets</font>, Hero calls, CO calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls.
Again, am I interested in capping this? I'm not sure how to take 5 players calling 3 bets on a rag flop.
Turn: (15.75 BB) A/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
UTG checks, <font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls, CO folds, UTG folds.
Not a good turn card, but I'm nearly getting over the pot odds to draw for my set.
River: (18.75 BB) 2/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">UTG+1 bets</font>, MP1 folds, Hero calls.
No help here, but it's hard not to call on 20 BB pot. Is it wasted money? Am I behind >95% of the time?
