Typical CP 4-8 holdem.

3 loose limpers, hero limps with 6 /images/graemlins/spade.gif5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif button limps, SB completes, BB checks. 7 to the flop for 7sbs.

Flop J /images/graemlins/club.gif8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif7 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Solid SB bets, loose double aggressive BB raises, 1 limper calls(LL), hero calls, SB three bets, all call. 4 to the turn, 19 sbs.

Would you have called the double bet here?

Turn, A /images/graemlins/spade.gif

SB bets, BB folds, LL calls. 23 small bets in the pot, do you call here?

Results, in a bit.

I would have folded on the flop. You have an easy call on the turn here though.

I like both the flop and turn calls. I think 2 pair or a set are more likely for the SB than 9 10, so you still have odds to draw for the straight.

If a 9 does show up on the river I would be wary of any raise by the LL who may have been on a draw with a 10.

I'd fold to that initial flop raise every time.

I would have folded on the flop. I dont like drawing to a "Gutshot". The nine isn´t really a good card IMO. Here should have folded, he might even be drawing completely dead.

That is what I thought also, but he called two bets cold on the flop, and then decided to fold on the turn when facing one big bet, closing the action, with a turn card that didn't change the situation. I didn't get it.

For what it's worth, the river was a 4 making the hero's hand if he was still there, and the SB bet was called, and won the pot with 87 for two pair. LL didn't show.

[Nottom]

Pretty much my thinking exactly.

Fold on the flop, call on the turn.
