View Full Version : Flopped straight
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.

i don't understand this hand at all.
flop: bet raiseraiseraiseraiseraise
turn: bet raiseraiseraiseraise call
river: bet call
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.

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.
