First time I'm posting a hand here. Hope the format is readable (otherwise feel free to flame me /images/graemlins/smirk.gif).
I'm pretty new to 2/4 6 max at Stars. So far it seems a lot more aggressive than 1/2 6 max at Party where I've been playing for a little over a month and I'm finding it a little tough to adjust. In 1/2 6 max at Party I learned that you have to respect turn aggression or you get burned a lot but I'm less sure about 2/4 6 max at Stars. They seem to fool around a lot more. Am I being too weak here with no read?
Stars 2/4 6 max (no reads, only played a few hands at this point):
Hero is on the button with K /images/graemlins/club.gif K /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Fold, MP calls, CO calls, Hero raises, fold, fold, MP calls, CO calls.
Flop comes: A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 2 /images/graemlins/club.gif
Checked to me, I bet and MP calls, CO folds. (9.5 small bets)
Turn: 8 /images/graemlins/spade.gif
MP bets, Hero folds.
What is your line here?
Is this a colossal mistake, only a minor one, or is perhaps even close to being correct? The more I think about it the more I'm inclined to believe that the first conslusion is the right one. I'm getting approx. 1:3.5 if I call him down down and if he had something would he not usually checkraise me? I'm thinking now that there is a good chance he took a shot and I bent over willingly...
