4/8 holdem
I have been playing for a couple of hours when all of a sudden the game gets really weak!!!
5 people seeing the flop then the first person who bets takes it down, or one person calls and it gets checked all the way to the river
This goes on for a while, then a player I recognise as higher limit player starts betting every flop and takes down 4 or 5 pots in a row on the flop until this hand.
Im dealt A9o if MP i limp the higher limit player (HLP)limps 2 others behind HLP limp SS calls and BB checks
flop comes [Q 9 7]
the blinds check, i check as well HLP bets and its folded round to me. At this point in time I 55% sure my 9 is good. I call.
I thought my 9 was good because, in the 4 or 5 previous hands i felt pretty confident that the HLP was taking control of the table and advantage of the wierd mood the table had gotten into, and was stealling the pot
the turn [Q 9 7]A
I check, HLP bets, I raise. (Anyone like this play...i did /forums/images/icons/grin.gif )
HLP reluctantly calls, the river is a blank i bet it out HLP folds
I think i played this hand well on the turn and river but question my call on the flop, given that the mood at the table was incredibly weak . Should i have bet it? or better yet raised??? against a player I believed was stealling.
So how badly did I do??
