First let me thank everyone for responding to these hand that I am posting. I hope thinking about them is a helpful for you guys as it is for me.
Party Poker (9 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)
Preflop: Hero is CO with 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 2/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
4 folds, call, call, Hero raises, fold, SB fold, BB call, all limpers call.
Flop: 8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/club.gif, 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
BB checks, UTG bets, folded to me, I call, BB calls.
Turn: 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
BB checks. UTG bets, 1 fold, Hero???
I called but the more that I think about it the more I think I should have raised. I think I should have raised because
1) UTG may not bet into me on the river and if he doesn’t I will lose 1 BB
2) If BB has A2 or maybe even A3 he will probably call my raise and UTG and I will have him trapped between us.
3) If UTG has 89 he may cap both the turn and the river in which case I can build a huge pot with the almost nuts in both directions.
The only downside of raising is BB might call 1 but not cold call 2 however I think this is easily made up by the reasons above.
I think that I missed an opportunity for a huge pot. What do you guys think?
