Apologies if this is just a blindingly obvious decision, but I'm All Brand New to this and am posting the hands that cost me money so you can tell me if this is bad luck or something in my game I need to fix:
$25 NL at Party.
Stack sizes vary from $6-$70, I've got $22.
I'm dealt TT in MP.
Raise of 0.75 from EP is called in two spots before it gets to me. I call. (Wrong move?)
It's called in several spots behind me, I think it was 8 way for the flop, maybe 7.
Flop comes 6 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 10 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 7 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
Early position raiser bets for $5, folded to me. I've got three or four players behind me. Neither of my tens is a diamond. EP has me covered, and the stacks behind me are all in the $15-$40 range. What's my move?
I went all-in. I get called in *four* places. Turn is a diamond, river is a blank. Two of the callers hit their flush, and one player who folded claimed he'd have had a lower flush if he'd called. That makes 6 diamonds in their hands, so I'm presuming I was a big favourite and got unlucky? Any value in calling the $5 raise and going all-in on the turn if a diamond doesn't hit, or is this just looking at results not decisions?
That EP raise of 0.75 preflop - should I have avoided this whole mess by reraising my pocket tens to get flush draws out? A lot of players had been folding to even small raises before this hand, so I wasn't expecting all those callers behind me...
Thanks for your thoughts.
