Hero has pocket 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif and is on the button.
2 limpers (loose), hero raises, SB and BB call, limpers call.
Flop: K /images/graemlins/spade.gif,10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif,2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif.
The four other players check to hero.
Hero thinks, I can't defend my hand. Any jacks or queen or aces are gonna like the straight potential, everyone at this table is loose and will call one flop bet anyway. Betting gets my nothing.
It does however get me more risk. WIth all those callers it wouldn't be crazy to see one of them with a ten or king. I'm worried that one of them is slowplaying the pair, after all thats what I would do with kings in the blinds since I know flop raiser will bet and I can raise. I'm taking on a lot of risk here for no reward by betting. I will see the turn and action and then reavaluate.
Turn: 4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif
Everyone checks to CO who bets after a little delay. I think hes bluffing or semi bluffing. Or at the very least, I'm willing to take that chance. TIme to protect my hand. If I'm wrong maybe flush will bail me out, and besides I wanna make any single card flsuh draws pay if I have best hand (which I think I do, CO would have bet pair on flop).
So I raise, get folders, first limper calls and CO calls.
River is dud and I check it through when checked to me since there are really no value bets. I take the pot, they were both on draws.
What do you think of my play? pre-flop though river.
