45o in the BB......Am I really this stupid?

[mtdoak]

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (10 handed)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 5/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">MP3 raises</font>, CO folds, Button calls, SB folds, Hero calls, UTG calls, UTG+1 calls, MP2 calls.

My head says fold, but my heart says 'pooooooot oooooddds!'

Flop: (12.40 SB) A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
Hero checks, UTG checks, UTG+1 checks, MP2 checks, <font color="CC3333">MP3 bets</font>, Button calls, Hero calls, UTG folds, UTG+1 calls, MP2 folds.

I offically hate pot odds.

Turn: (8.20 BB) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(4 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP3 folds, Button calls

I /images/graemlins/heart.gif pot odds

River: (11.20 BB) 8/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls, UTG+1 folds.

Not so sure how i feel about pot odds now.

Final Pot: 16.20 BB

Am I an idiot? Preflop call....flop call.....??

I would fold preflop. But it sounds like you usually would too.

I would call on the flop. Even if the 5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif gives someone else a flush, there are four other cards that probably put you ahead. You're getting an immediate 14:1, and it's more likely to be called behind you than raised, I think.

I would probably go for a checkraise on the turn.

I suspect Button caught a better two pair (or a set) on the river, but I would call his raise too.

Easy preflop fold, don't think twice about it.

I'd fold preflop but like the rest of the streets. I think betting out on the turn is essential.
