TT - I can fold any time, right?

[mildsauce]

SB is new to the table, 22/9 so far, but has been bluffing on the turn a couple hands. UTG+1 is 73/19, just a real wacky guy.

Preflop: Hero is Button with T/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif. UTG+1 posts a blind of $1.
UTG folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 (poster) raises</font>, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, CO folds, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, SB calls, BB folds, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 caps</font>, MP1 calls, Hero calls, SB calls.

Flop: (17 SB) Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls, UTG+1 calls, MP1 folds.

I see no aggression. AK? Axs? Well, I sure didn't like all those callers.

Turn: (12 BB) Q/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB 3-bets</font>, UTG+1 calls, Hero calls.

Horrible! Absolutley horrible! My only justification for this is that SB had bluffed me out of a pot earlier. Pride or something, I don't know.

River: (21 BB) T/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, SB calls.

Final Pot: 26 BB

So now I'm stuck in the hand. Check/call?

Any other lines or any jokes about how poorly I played the hand are welcome.

Just call the flop. You're getting 20:1 to hit the T/images/graemlins/heart.gif or a non/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 9.

Even if you hit the T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif on the turn, you'll have outs to fill up if the action gets crazy.

And, fold on the turn.

Flop: I dont usually raise with 3rd best pair and a caller. I think this is a close call since the T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif could still be a dirty out.

Turn: Calling this is unprofitable. Raising this is plain out LAG

River: Good.

You got a little crazy that hand. The pf 3-bet is questionable, I'm not sure if its good or bad.

With 4 people seeing the capped flop you have to assume you don't have the best hand on the flop. The pot's enormous though and you picked up 4 new outs(9 of diamonds may be dirty though). Call the flop, raising's just spewing chips.

The turn didn't help, but its still a monster pot, with 12 bb in the pot already, this is still a clear call with 6 outs. Again, raising is just throwing away money.

I think the river is the only street you played right.

Woops he is right. 4 9's give you the straight so the call is ok here!

I'd probably call pre-flop and get aggressive if I hit my set or if the flop looks friendly.

Since the flop is unfriendly but the pot is huge and I've got anywhere between 6 and 3 outs, I'd take a card off. If the board wasn't so coordinated, and if there were maybe only one overcard, or if you had a backdoor flush draw, then raising might be okay. (I think.)

I'd probably fold on the turn.

River g00t! Did you get some lip from SB after dragging the pot?

Yeah, maybe folding this turn is ugly, on second thought. Even if your 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif is lame, that's still 5 outs, and that's still a call.

But yeah, don't raise unless you hate money.

Why didn't you cap the turn? You're only behind 95% of the time here.

what happened to UTG+1 on the river?
