Caesars IN 10/20 game last friday that I'm beating for about +25BB at this point. I acknowledge in advance the dubious nature of my preflop call. Please follow along:
Dvo is BB w/Q /images/graemlins/diamond.gifJ /images/graemlins/heart.gif Folded to CO who limps, button limps. SB raises. He has been drinking, is friendly, and is apparently unconcerned about giving away information during the hand. Dvo calls. 4 to the flop (4BB)
Flop: T /images/graemlins/spade.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif2 /images/graemlins/club.gif.
SB bets, Dvo raises, CO calls, button folds, SB calls.
I raised here on the chance that SB is betting an unimproved AK. This gives me 6 overcard outs and 4 gutshot outs...plenty to take a stand with in a raised 4 handed pot. After the CO calls, the drunk guy says "Dammit! I'm sure I had the best hand before the flop!" Based on his demeanor, I read him for AA-QQ, nothing worse, effectively negating my overcard outs.
Turn: 4 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
BB checks, Dvo checks, CO bets, BB calls, <font color="red">Dvo folds</font>.
Assume my read is correct: Is not betting the turn OK, since I deemed there was little chance to win the pot?
Next, is not calling the turn bet OK? I figured by the time it gets to me there are 9BB in the pot and I need 11-1 to make it a break-even proposition. Perhaps I should have considered future implied odds of a river payoff if I hit my hand?
Fighting the temptation to be results oriented, the 9 /images/graemlins/heart.gif arrived on the river (which leads me to question if my turn play cost me this pot)
Results:
