I think I left some sugar on the table here.
Party Poker 0.5/1.
I'm on the button with J/forums/images/icons/heart.gifJ/forums/images/icons/club.gif.
2 MP limpers to me, I raise. SB calls, BB folds, limpers call. Four to the flop with 8 sb.
Flop comes 9/forums/images/icons/heart.gifQ/forums/images/icons/diamond.gifK/forums/images/icons/club.gif. Ruh Roh.
All check to me, I bet out, SB calls, 1st limper calls, 2nd limper folds. Three to the turn with 11 sb.
Turn comes T/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif.
SB comes to life and bets, limper calls, I call.
River comes 2/forums/images/icons/spade.gif.
SB bets out again, MP folds, I call.
Questions:
1) What do you think my bet on the flop? The table was pretty passive, so I didn't expect more than one raise. If raised I think I have the odds to call to see the turn (11:1 for the gutshot with between 8 and 11 sb in the pot depending on the number of callers).
2) Should I have raised on the turn? I feared AJ at the time and that was my primary thought although with the benefit of 20 x 20 hindsight the loose caller could have had me beat on the flop and made two pair on the turn when I hit my straight.
3) Pretty sure I should have raised the river given my analysis of point 2. I'm ahead of every hand that could play except precisely AJ, and many hands were playing.
Results:
SB had K /forums/images/icons/spade.gif T /forums/images/icons/heart.gif for two pair on the turn.
