I'm not sure I'm playing this hand correctly, and so winning with it worries me because I might be reinforcing bad behavior. All comments are appreciated.
This is Pacific 2/4, and the table is very loose and passive. A minimum of 6 players see the flop. Almost no preflop raising.
Of my opponents in this hand I have no read on UTG, but the Button has shown some trash hands.
I'm EP2 with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif
UTG limps, EP1 folds, I limp, CO limps, Button limps, SB completes, BB checks.
Flop(6sb): J/images/graemlins/spade.gif 2/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif (6 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets, I raise, CO folds, Button cold-calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG calls.
Turn(6bb): Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players)
UTG checks, I bet, Button folds, UTG calls.
River(8bb): T/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players)
UTG checks, I bet, UTG calls.
Some thoughts....
Preflop: Only because of the looseness of the table did I play J9s from EP
Flop: I decided to play, so I raised. The fact that the board offered no real draws and that one of the cards was a heart factored into my decision to play.
Turn: I was going to bet no matter what card came, but when it was a heart it helped me push the button. Had the Button raised, or UTG check-raised, I would have called with the 4-flush and probably folded without it.
River: Played itself. Had I not made the flush I think I would have checked it through as I was pretty sure UTG had me out-kicked.
Thanks,
Griff
