Help.

Meh. I don't really like how you played this hand, but its 3 handed so standard poker doesn't really apply. I'd say don't draw to a flush on a paired board, but again you're 3 handed. Either way, how does it feel to get your money in drawing dead?

awful river

[Aytumious]

I hate the post flop play. The flop bet isn't terrible, but you are enticing a call if the other player thinks you may not have anything. In fact, if I'm the other player and I have any two, I will often call and simply bet out 3/4 the pot on the turn if it is a blank. The turn raise by you is really bad, either semi-bluff with your flush draw and overs or just call and hope to hit. Calling the river is terrible.

[Malachii]

I'd check the flop. Save your continuation bets for when they're believable. I like the turn raise. Don't like the river.

[beset7]

you called yourself on the river?

Check your posts before posting them and...

Exhibit caution when drawing to a runner-runner flush on a paired board facing resistance.

I figured no one would have called the preflop raise with a 3/2, 3/8, or a 3/6. Guess I was wrong.

Thanks for the feedback. It's serving me well.

Well, he didn't call with any of those hands. Also, 66 and 88 are real possiblities here -- and of course 22 -- as well as the much more unlikely ace high flush.

i dont like the mini raise on the turn. its a pointless bet.

how did the river action work out? did he just ranomdly push it all? what happened?

since this is 3 handed anything goes, so your hand is very strong, even though the board is paired.

[ABC7133]

This hand (like most at 6 max) is entirely read dependant.

He cold called both a flop bet - which was an entirely meaningless continuation bet, and a turn min-raise.

Is SB the type to do this to set up a bluff on the river? If yes, that river card is awful...not much you can do.

If not, what did you think villian had to cold call a PF raise, a flop bet, and a turn min raise.

You've shown tremedous strength, but are getting called throughout. (I probably lose my money here as well 3 handed, but the range of hands a reasonable villain pushes that river with is small)

[radioheadfan]

The turn is disgusting. Make a raise of 4-5x his bet, call, or fold.

As for the river, does he typically make bluffs of 3x the size of the pot? If so, a call is in order. If not, it's really tough b/c he could easily be overvaluing trip 3s and make nothing of the backdoor flush on the board.

Tough spot but without a read that this guy makes ridiculous overbets with mediocre hands I'm folding.

I really can't stand that turn minraise though. Wow thats horrible.

Apologies to the OP. I just thought these two sentences were really funny. It's good to have a physical aversion to bad poker.
