I limped because everyone else folded to me. If there were any other people in the pot I would have folded.


4th

I think the BI might be defending a bit too aggressivly (I do it...so he can too...right?).

Every now and then I wonder "what would happen if I ____". This is what happens here.



6th

Here I think the move isn't soo bad if I bet out 6th. But I think I dropped the ball by checking. I made a move (that cost money) to gain fold equity. Then I just check!! That doesn't make any sense.

Agree?

Re: Goofy Hand with Bring In
 

What was your read on the player? I dont player stud-hi to often but it looks good. I think your feeling that he was defending a little too hard is probably spot on. I would expect to see a small pair from his part. Maybe threes and fours. I dont like the check on 6th. If your going to do the damn thing then do it! This is coming from a NL maniac though...and my aggresion often times gets me in trouble playing stud.

Re: Goofy Hand with Bring In
 

Jon, why not raise 3rd street if you decide you're going to play? What are your reads on the players behind you and the bring in?

Re: Goofy Hand with Bring In
 

Bring in was decent....other people raised when they had something

so I could limp/fold confidently

Re: Goofy Hand with Bring In
 

I'd raise third next time. If I'm reading this right it was folded to your sevens, with a J 5 and the bring in 3 behind you. No reason to limp here. Your just asking for trouble. You dont want to give the bring in a free shot at seeing fourth and catching perfect with something like (9 8) 3off then he hits an 8 on fourth. Make them pay if they want to play......hey that rhymes. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Fourth street your sevens could still possibly be ahead when he raises, as he assumes you will be on autobet. Obvious call. As for fifth, I think you got a little too fancy. At 5-10 I dont believe most players are capable of tough folds (or even easy folds sometimes [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). I also believe that despite your check raise on fifth 99% of 5-10 players on party are calling the river if they can beat sevens. So just check-call fifth. Sixth I like the check behind. Like I stated, I dont believe your stealing this on the river if your opponent can beat a pair of your doorcard. River of course is an obvious bet.

I would raise on third street, no question. I also think that this is worth limping in with for $2 most of the time. Of course you bet fourth, and call the raise. I don't know what you were trying to accomplish with the fifth-street check-raise. I would just bet my Ace here. I have no problem with checking sixth, presumably with the intention of calling. And yes, bet the river.
