View Full Version : Flopped straight


11-04-2005, 05:20 PM
Both opponents are very loose and agressive. I remember them doing all kind of betting / raising with irrelevant holdings.

Need you oppinion about it. I believe I missed a raise here on the flop or turn.

PreFlop: HERO is SB with Kh Td (10 Players)
3 folds, MP limps, MP2 limps, 2 folds, HERO limps, BB checks,

Flop: (2.00 SB) 9d Qd Jd (4 Players)
HERO checks, BB checks, MP bets, MP2 calls, HERO calls, BB folds,

Turn: (3.50 BB) 9d Qd Jd 9c (3 Players)
HERO checks, MP bets, MP2 calls, HERO calls,

River: (6.50 BB) 9d Qd Jd 9c 7d (3 Players)
HERO checks, MP bets, MP2 calls, HERO calls,

Final Pot: 9.50 BB

You have to bet into every street and cap if necessary. You may not even be beat on the river.

Your hand is WAY too vulnerable to slowplay (you can still improve, but there's only one card in the deck that can do it). MAYBE check-raise the flop, but betting is safer. If raised, reraise. The way you played it, you gave anyone with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif or K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif EXCELLENT odds to keep chasing, without adding any value for yourself.

Bet the river and call if raised - pot is large and you'll beat anything but those two cards or a boat.

It looks more like he's playing scared than slowplaying. But that flop and turn must be bet.

I agree. Flopped straight with a draw to the 3rd (or better) flush, along with a straight-flush draw.

Bet/Raise the flop. Lead the turn -- reevaluate from there I'd say.

Not betting this flop is bad.

That's funny...I see 12, two of which give Hero the absolute nuts, three the near-nuts. Which one are you talking about?

Even though the flop isn't the most pleasant one to see, you shouldn't slow down with a flopped straight. Often times you'll just be up against people who have a single diamond and are on a draw -- you need to make these people pay to see every card.

On the river, you can check/call this. Your hand might still be good, but it's obviously more vulnerable, especially against two opponents.

Grunch:

Wouldn't it suck if a K or T landed on the turn or river or a BDFD comes in? Get those bets in now while you got the nuts.

Edit: whoops, had trouble with reading the post. But don't play so scared. If 4 to the flush comes, then worry.

Agree, too scared play here. I constantly see that somebody made a flush and bets or slowplays with it in these situations.

Grunch:

Everyone limps pre-flop, you flop a straight but are afraid of the flush? Bet out and raise, and cap the flop. You've got the straight flush draw, flush draw with only 2 cards to beat you, and a straight. Man, I'd be pushing that edge the whole way.

I'd be raising and reraising the every street.
