Limp YES!, uh-oh, YES!!
 

Here is a roller-coaster of a hand. Sixth street had me off-balance. Does seat 5 really hava straight on fifth? Advice on these and other streets welcome. I didn't have much of a read on the other players. I was developing an impression that seat 3 was OK, but a bit on the passive side.

"Limb"?

I would be sorely tempted to flat call on fourth so that you can raise the field on fifth. It's fairly likely that AK will be first to act on fifth.

I see no reason to check sixth. Nice hand.

Re: Limb, YES!, uh-oh, YES!!
 

Title now edited to say limp. You don't really expect people to play poker and spell properly at the same time do you? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Limb, YES!, uh-oh, YES!!
 

I agree with the 4th st call and because it puts you in likely great position for the BB raise on 5th.

On 6th, I also would bet and call if Seat 1 raised. If Seat 3 raised, I'd get that sick feeling and fold.

Cannot disagree more. No way you can fold a pot that size on sixth, when you hold trips.

What would your read of Seat 3 be? Mine is Ts full. I think the right call would be to fold except against the maniacally aggressive.

If the potential flush doesn't raise then seat 3 does not need to be full to raise here. The obvious hands are trip tens and tens full, but it could just be queens up. Heroic folds cost money generally, I find.

Re: Limb, YES!, uh-oh, YES!!
 

I think you are reading the hand wrong - Seat 3 folded 6th before we had to call a bet.

Re: Limb, YES!, uh-oh, YES!!
 

Well, OK, I s'pose I would call the Villain I find foolhardy enough to have called the 2 BBs at 5th with a pair of Ts or Qs.

Understood, it was a conjecture.
