Too fast or too slow?

Should I have bet out on the river? Should I have just called the raise on the turn? I'm really confused about this hand...

Looks fine. I like the turn 3-bet because he could have just been getting excited about trip 7s. But once he caps you should slow down because he could have been slowplaying a bigger flush. Unlikely, but possible. And if he was slowplaying 66, you're dead. So I like this line.

You should have folded preflop, but that being said you played it fine.

I complete with any two suited here.

Whoa. Yeah I misread the hand and thought Hero was BB. I fold this PF too.

Preflop call is marginal, but not terrible. The rest of the hand is fine.

Chaos_ult · #7 12-23-2004, 05:27 PM

I think that as long as you are able to play your hand well postflop, completing with any two suited for half a sb is +EV.

I completed because there are several limpers and Ed tells us to complete any two s000ted...should I not play the worst of the suited hands? 7 2, 8 3, anything low w/lots of gaps?

I don't think this is true.
