Table is pretty good. loose and on the aggressive side, i feel like i played this hand pretty girly though on the big streets.
Party Poker 10/20 7 Card Stud High
the 2 /images/graemlins/club.gif brings it in. i'm next in line and complete with [A /images/graemlins/spade.gif9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif]A /images/graemlins/heart.gif, i get 3 coldcallers, some low card, the K /images/graemlins/club.gif and the 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. and the bring in folds.
4th street:
I catch a 6 /images/graemlins/club.gif. the K catches something, the 3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif catches the 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. i'm first to act and bet. the low guy folds. the K calls. and the [x,x]3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif now raises. I 3-bet. the K calls. Now the 3-9 guy caps. we all call.
it's possible that the 3-9 started with 99 and caught a set, though with me holding a 9 i thought it was unlikely. and quite possible that he started rolled up with 3's. but i also felt it was very possible he was pumping a 4-flush.
when up against what you know about 90% to be either a set or a flush draw whats the best way to proceed on 5th? well this is what i did.
5th street:
i catch the Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif. the K catches something. my main foe's board now looks like this [xx]3 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif3 /images/graemlins/club.gif i'm not at all really concerned about his 3 because he was already crushing me before or still on that flush draw. he bets. i call. and the K calls.
should i have bet out 5th myself? i didn't really want to have to face another raise on the big street, but i also didn't really want to give a free or cheap card if he was still drawing.
6th:
I improve to aces up and catch the Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. so my hand is this: [A/images/graemlins/spade.gif9/images/graemlins/spade.gif]A/images/graemlins/heart.gif6/images/graemlins/club.gifQ/images/graemlins/heart.gifQ/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
K seems to be drawing to something and probably drawing dead. my main foe didn't seem to catch anything. should i check or bet here? well i checked. the K checked. and my main foe bet. i called and decided that i will see a showdown for one bet (meaning checking and calling 7th street) no matter what unless i improve to a fullhouse.
is this a sound plan or am i being too weak tight on 5th, 6th and 7th?
