J9s SB, street by street

[damaniac]

Pretty new to the table, so all unknown, sadly. Let's try street-by-street, as I had some interesting decisions to make in this one.

Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

Preflop: Hero is SB with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif.
UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, Button calls, Hero completes, BB checks.

Flop: (5 SB) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, CO calls, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero...?

I fold. You are getting 6.5:1 at best if there is no reraise. What do you have? Not much. A one card gustsot straight draw that could eaisly be beaten, chop or face a spade redraw plus middle pair with a kicker that you don't really want to hit. This board plus your hand is a recipe for spewage.

Yeah thinking about it now, it should be a really easy fold actually. That does make the hand play easier. /images/graemlins/smirk.gif
