Top pair, worst kicker

[deepsquat]

Not sure how i should of played this. Im relatively new to the table. Not sure if BB is capable of C/R a late position better with middle pair or a a marginal hand.

i think thats good

I don't like the preflop call in mid/early position. I'd never do it, but some people can get away with ti


Also, the call after the raise is bad, because if you dont hit your 3 outer on the turn, you're folding. THats 15 to 1 odds to hit your 3 outer, and about 8 to 1 odds to call.

This hand really depends on the texture of the game. First, you may not want to limp there. Second, I sometimes 3-bet the flop for value against certain players with top pair sh*t kicker. You have the best hand there some of the time, and it's your job to find out if the player who raises is the type who raises draws or pocket pairs or middle pair on the flop. If you are fairly sure that your opponent has Ace with a better kicker, then your play is standard.

He's about 14.5:1 to hit, but he has slightly more than 3 outs (given cards that will bring a chop, the fact that he sometimes has the best hand and BB won't bet the turn, etc.), and he's getting 10:1.

This hand is fine.

I dislike the open limp here - I either raise this or get out.

[SoftcoreRevolt]

How is this an open limp? UTG+1 is already in.

Preflop is fine, I like the flop bet, and the turn fold.
