2-6-6 Hand

[shawn_p]

Blinds are 1 and 2 in this game.

EP donk will limp and call a raise w/ any two
Hero is MP w/ Ah3h
MP2 donk I have on tilt and has been trying to catch me bluffing all night
LP solid player TAG thinks of me as TAG
Button semi solid player up a couple racks
SB and BB are both clueless

EP donk limps, Hero and MP2 limp, LP raises to 6 all call. Flop comes 45K w/ a heart checks to LP solid and he bets 6, all call to Hero check raise, all call. Turn is 10h Hero check raises LP again. LP thinks for about ten seconds and jams his cards in the muck. River 7h.

why are you check/raising a gutshot+bd flush draw?

LP wasn't playing many hands and respected my play. I figured I could move him off a pocket pair smaller than kings w/ the flop check raise.

uh, ok...say you move LP off of QQ and he folds the flop (unlikely)...what about the other people that are still in the hand?

Ed had a hand in SSHE where he is very aggressive with a similar draw (gutshot+bd flush+overcard) but the circumstances are totally different...i think this is a situation wehre you want to see the turn as cheap as possible...
