5-10 NL: river back door flush
 

first time posting a hand. not sure that its too interesting. Just tell me to shut up if this is a pointless hand.

4 handed, i'm on the button and have been playing very loose and aggresive. BB has about 500, Villain has 800 i have them covered. Cutoff limps, Hero open raises with QcJc to 40. SB folds, BB and Villain Call.

Flop comes 8 2 5 rainbow with one club.

Check, Check, Check

8 of clubs.

Check Check Check

A of clubs. BB bets 50, Villain raises to 150, Hero pushes all in.

I hate the river push... Also you didn't "open raise", since someone else already open limped...right? I think that's right . Anyways, Pushing here is kinda bad imo. This is just the kind of play that 222 and 555 make, ridiculous slowplays.

i tried to edit that open raise. i guess it didn't work. he ended up having A8. i also didn't mention that villain had called an all in on a previous hand with Ace high and no draw. so i kind of thought he was insane and would call with very marginal holdings. i agree the push is bad though. just wanted to see how bad people thought it was hehe.

I really doubt a worse hand is calling you, after bet-raise-push.

Push yourself in villain's shoes, are you calling with a 9 high flush?

GTL,

Don't post the results, edit them away.

this is what i wanted to hear. seriously. i think its a bad play. wanted to make sure i was right. mods feel free to delete this thread

well, obviously the results were bad. villain had A8 and told me after the hand that he was trapping on the flop, and turn.

Re: 5-10 NL: river back door flush
 

yeah man, I don't push,
I just call, hoping for overcall. I don't see K8 or smaller flush calling this. Unless they're complete DONKS!

well my read on him was that he was a donk. i got all the cash back from him in about an hour. he was playing very weak and slowplaying everything.
