I would like to know if this is terrible.

Because it seemed pretty straightforward at the time, for how retarded of a hand it was.

Button is a good player who has been playing back at me fairly often.

The other two players are pretty crappy.

Fold preflop. Rest looks standard.

I don't hate the raise preflop. I'd do the same sometimes, depending on what's been happening for the last few orbits.

Remember, this was 4-handed.


Or were you referring to the second time around? I think he's still gotta call the cap with all 4 committed to this pot, and the size of it now, he's got to see the flop/

Interesting.


but getting 3-bet by the BB would suck with so many outs.

[adamstewart]

looks like a fairly well played hand.

[mperich]

You like to play pots with 6 hi 4 handed when it will end up headsup, for 3 bets, out of position, against a solid player a fair amount of the time? I hate this scenario a lot. I like the raise better if the description of the table was this: I was playing 4 handed. Everyone at the table was pretty tight, and they all sucked.

I was under the impression preflop was horrible!
How could this possibly be ok?
Not critisizing, it just seems as though I've been terribly misinformed on playable hands preflop.

Losing a big pot that should have been won sucks more. Also, putting 3 bets in on the turn and none on the river isn't that much worse than 1 and 1 when you've got 9 probable outs.

i dont like raising here. BB capped preflop so theres a very good chance here you'll get 3bet. i also like callin to keep button in the hand for better odds to draw, since its unlikely he's contaminating any of your outs.

[Trix]

Was going to say the flop, but folding a better hand from the button seem possible if you wait, so I think I like it.

I think you're missing the point. You raise here to protect your pair of sixes, which are good here a decent amount of the time. All BB did was cap and bet. He has just overcards here a lot.

Yep, many good things happen when you wait until the turn. Others include:
-Get to see if button raises flop and don't spray excessive chips if there's action.
-Assured folding of button's overcards on turn. Raising flop can just bloat pot so that when you bet turn they both call with overcards again.

Well, he's a good player so he's playing back at me with reasonable holdings, but mostly he's folding.

I'm still not sure about the raise, but I think it's better vs. this opponent than against a LAG or a calling station.

[stir]

Listen to mperich; this is not a raise.
