10-20 Potawatomi table. Table is loose. Villian in MP1 is loose and semi-aggressive.
Hero has J /images/graemlins/heart.gif J /images/graemlins/spade.gif in big blind.
5 players limp in. SB Completes. Hero Raises. everyon calls.
Flop (14 SB): A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
BB bets. UTG calls. UTG+1 folds. UTG+2 calls. Villian calls. MP3 folds. Button calls. SB folds
Turn (9.5 BB): 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
Hero checks. UTG checks. UTG+2 checks. Villian bets. Button Folds. Hero calls. UTG folds. UTG+2 folds.
River (11.5 BB): 2 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero Checks. Villian bets. Hero Folds.
My biggest concern on this hand is whether I should have folded the river. My thought when the hand was going on was that villian had a hand, or he wouldn't be betting into 4 others on this flop. Later, I realized that he could have just had a K /images/graemlins/heart.gif. On the other hand his play is also consistant with a bad ace or flopping a good made flush. My hunch is that I played it wrong.
My other concern is whether I should lead out on the flop here. I don't want to give the Queen or King of Hearts a free card, and I may make small aces fold. Is this a flop too scary to bet, between the overcard and the flop? And if I am betting the flop, should I continue to bet when I get 4 callers and a blank comes?
