Fold preflop. Calling is a big mistake here. You must have been on drugs /images/smile.gif


With this coordinated board with flushdraw I would certainly play fast. Bet out, and raise on every opportunity on the flop.


On the turn you check-raise and get 3-bet. From your discription it seemed that UTG is a maniac, so a cap could be in order. Against normal opponents I would usually just call the 3-bet.


River: ofcourse, raise with the nuts on every opportunity.


Must be a gift to play with BigRed44.

Next time get rid of the last part of your post. I dont think Mason likes free advertising.

Actually, I thought BigRed44 was the one on drugs. Thats why I played the hand out of the blind. He raised almost every hand, and onece before raised me throughout the course of a hand 7 times with 5 high. Against a "Normal" UTG raiser, I wouldn't even consider calling, but with him, I knew if I flopped any thing strong, I would get overpaid, which is exactly what happened.

With 5 players in there, and with one I KNOW will bet my hand for me on the flop, I thought checking and calling was the better play here. If he had nothing, and was betting with nothing, I wanted him to catch up. The only thing I am really scared of here is a flush draw so I deferred action to him to see what everyone else would do. I didnt wanna lead, cause then I most likely couldn't check raise later streets, and there was the possiblilty that if I did lead, the UTG raiser would raise and chase any potential dead money out of the hand. Also, a check raise here would pretty much give my hand away, so I decided to just check call the flop.

I did cap it, after it got heads up.

I did, and couldn't wait to see what piece of cheese the guy played.

It is.

Sorry, I just copied the Hand History, and that part went with it. Next time, I will try and remember to crop it.
