comments on a 40/80 hand please

[jayheaps]

please be brutal. pretty sure I butchered it but not sure where.


shorthanded live game-- 4 players. The button is a calling station and the reason the game is still going. SB is a good loose aggressive player, who never misses a value bet but tends to overplay draws.

Button calls on the button. (Yes, he calls on the button). SB calls. I raise with red tens.

SB Bets, I raise, Button calls. SB 3-bets. I call. Button calls.

Turn: 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

SB checks. I check. Button bets. SB calls (very surprising here, I expected him to raise with any kind of hand) I call.


River: 3 /images/graemlins/club.gif

checked around.

sorry about not being brutal, but it doesn't look all that bad. Given your read, and this drawheavy board I don't think you can fold. Raising anywhere or betting river doesn't make sense either. Maybe bet turn to charge the draws, but there's also a good chance that you are beat so checking and calling seems fine.

(admittedly, the turn call looks a lot better after the river action, but still..)
