Party Poker 1/2
Pretty typical game, maybe tighter than normal for 1/2
I'm middle position with [ 8h, 8c ]
There's one early limper, and I decide to raise and maybe get lucky and isolate the limper.
3 Players after me, the small blind, the big blind, and the limper all call. (so much for isolating the limper, I realize i need to flop a set to have any chance at this pot.)
** Dealing Flop ** : [ Ts, 9d, 8d ]
So I Flop my set but there's a straight and a flush draw.
Checks to me I decide to bet to test the waters, considering i was the preflop raiser.
I get raised by another middle position player, and then the button caps the betting. It's obvious that at least one player has a straight, and perhaps one is something close to the nut flush. I have seen one of these players overplay 2 pair, so I use this rationale to make a pretty bad call here in my opinion.
** Dealing Turn ** : [ Th ]
I check, MP bets, and button raises. I call here, pretty much hoping that I'm up against some combination of straights and flush draws. When MP doesn't reraise, I'm certain that he didn't have the two pair that I was hoping he had earlier.
** Dealing River ** : [ Kd ]
So the flush draw hits. I check, MP bets (he's very low on chips so I expet him to go all in no matter what he's holding), and Button raises. I'm almost positive that the button has made a flush but I just call. And MP thros in his last chips.
i win with 8s full, MP had JQo (with one diamond) for the high straight and button held Axd for the high flush.
I think that I made a fairly questionable call on the flop.
Perhaps calling is ok on the turn, but i think I should have reraised on the river.
Any opinions?
