A8o in the BB

[Benn Eubank]

3/6 Party. Still just sat down.

Dealt A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif in BB. EP2 limps, MP limps, SB completes and I check. 4 to the flop for 5sb's.

Flop comes J /images/graemlins/club.gif, 5 /images/graemlins/heart.gif, 8 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

SB checks, Hero bets, EP1 calls, MP calls, SB folds. 3 see the turn for 5.5 bb's.

Turn comes 4 /images/graemlins/spade.gif.

Hero checks. EP1 checks. MP bets.

What do you think is the best decision at this point? Any comments appreciated on any part of the play. Explanations are particularly appreciated.

Cheers, Benn

Both Hero and EP1 folded. Stay tuned for more mad-cap adventures. I do have some difficulties playing second pair correctly though, so if anyone feels so inclined, I'd be interested to know if this is automatically right or wrong and why.

Bet the turn. Simply a must. Why do you no longer think you have the best hand? You bet the flop, no one raised, bet, bet, bet.
