Default Re: 20-40 Hand to Talk About

Excellent. You have clearly over-represented your hand on the turn, causing someone with at least close to sufficent odds (or better than sufiicient odds) to fold, while shutting out everyone else. This is a nice coup.

This also implies that you read that the J hit someone, which is almost certainly the case. If someone called with overcards, they very likely have a T or J, since 2 cards Q or higher would likely raise preflop, especially on the button. If the J didn't hit anyone, then A6, 77 or 88 are likely holdings for at least one opponent, and you want these out of the pot as well.

The BB and WTO can't be counted on to bet the flop, so unless the button would auto-bet if checked to, I like betting out. It's just not that likely anyone is thrilled with this flop. Your flop bet also entices overcards to call, and this is good news for your hand, as they have to hit twice to beat you, and the pot is not huge.

One the turn comes, the pot is larger, and your hand is certainly vlunerable, so you correctly shut everyone out.
Well played. [img]/forums/images/icons/laugh.gif[/img]
