The Setup

Opponents are all loose-passive. How did I do? Any and all comments welcome.


Party Poker 1/2 Hold'em (6 max, 6 handed)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with T/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. CO posts a blind of $1.50.
Hero calls, MP calls, CO (poster) checks, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: (6.50 SB) T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 5/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 6/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(6 players)</font>
SB bets, BB folds, Hero calls, MP calls, CO folds, Button folds.

My intention here was to call the flop then re-raise the turn if a non-spade arrives. Is this a good idea or would a re-raise on the flop have been a better idea?

Turn: (4.75 BB) 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
SB bets, Hero raises, MP folds, SB calls.

River: (8.75 BB) 5/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(2 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero checks.

Missed value bet?

Final Pot: 8.75 BB

Results in white below: <font color="white">
SB shows Th 4s (two pair, tens and fives).
Hero shows Td Jd (two pair, tens and fives).
Outcome: Hero wins 8.75 BB. </font>

Raise the flop.

You really like the idea of letting any /images/graemlins/spade.gif draw cheap? The Turn is not a good place to find out SB flopped a flush and you have no outs. While SB could easily be betting a weak T, he will also call you down with it, and he could have a piece of the board with A/K/Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif so charge him and any other hangers-on. Your hand is vulnerable to any /images/graemlins/spade.gif and a number of straight draws are possible.

And yes, unless you read SB as particularly tricky, you missed a value bet.
