I know you guys hate slowplaying...but please?

<font color="blue">I don't know much about these guys yet, except that CO's stack is down to $5 and he might be getting a little desperate. I know this just looks terrible checking every street, but I just didn't want to blow anybody out of there.</font>

Um, if you think CO is going to stack off, then why aren't you betting every street? Between the two of you, you have the entire field trapped.

You seem to be checking in the hopes that someone with a flush will hit, but you're overlooking the fact that any flush draw will happily call down a ton of bets this whole hand.

You mean 3-bet? Personally I think a cold-call is fine here; I'm not fond of blowing away the field with this hand OOP.

Lol, I should have expected this after just reading your 52k instructional post. I know I didn't do this right. It's just always so tempting....

[ArturiusX]

What the hell, this is .50/1, people will call a single bet. Just bet, maybe think about calling 1 raise on the flop, then go mental on the turn.

I like your PF play just fine. but, I think you should bet the turn if you c/call the flop.

[bottomset]

after preflop this hand is ugly

read? or reread the SSHE, and TOP sections on slowplaying

[Shillx]

Bet the flop. Call a raise if there is one (from the CO) and then lead out on 4th street. C'mon meow.

Ouch. Ok, I'll reread. I knew you guys wouldn't let me get away with this. That's why I posted it. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

FLOP: I like the way you played it as I think betting into this flop after CO raised preflop would be too likely to fold almost everyone; the CO, who is now last to act, is likely to bet this for you (as he did.)

TURN: I'd bet here as I don't know if I can count on the CO to bet for me again, and I'd take my chances on not knocking too many people out.

RIVER: I would have bet out here.

[Fantam]

I might have bet the turn, not willing to take the risk of the hand being checked all round.

But the way you played the hand seemed to work out perfectly.

Plus, if you check-raise the CO bets, you're more likely to knock some people out. If you bet out, there's a chance the CO will raise which would be nice.

[gopnik]

No, it's bad. Raise the turn, bet the river.
