Party 2-4 good flop stab?
 

Here are the notes I took on the one villain this session (although this hand is so multiway that it probably doesn't especially matter):

The first line are the things I saw him do preflop.
The other lines are specific things I saw him do post-flop.


J2s,A6o,K4s,overdefends (T4s SB,A2o SB),cold calls (A6o,AKo)
turn raise shots w/tp+nk on 3-flush board
flop calls *RIDICULOUS*
turn donk shots w/gutshot on scare cards
turn donk shots w/nothing on scare cards
turn donk shots w/2nd pr+nk on 3-flush board
shots on river w/tp+nk on super-coordinated board if checked to
bets AK-high every street on super-coordinated board when checked to>

I would probably raise preflop here to force the button out.

Re: Party 2-4 good flop stab?
 

That's one way to go. If it were maybe 1 fewer limper to me then I would have too.

take your free card on the flop...

bet the river...

Re: Party 2-4 good flop stab?
 

Raise preflop, take a free card on the flop (though I make a continuation bet here far too often), bet the turn, bet the river.

Why? How valuable is having the button in this 7 way pot? Will a raise force the button out anyway? Will the button call if you don't raise always?


I think raising for the button is really not a great reason to raise here. Our hand plays poorly multiway and I think limping here is pretty clearly correct.

Notice that you should bet the river and call a c/r by this particular momo.

Re: Party 2-4 good flop stab?
 

My reasons for raising PF is due to these factors:
-I like to controll the large pots, forcing the button out makes it easier to take a free card at some point if needed. Getting a free card in a big pot is very nice. So the main reason why I would raise a hand that doesnt do well multiway is position.
-Also being seen as an aggressor in this pot makes you more likely to be able to control the field.

This all evolves around button being a player that doesnt call raises in big multiway pots pf.

Re: Party 2-4 good flop stab?
 

I like this line, but I am inclined to check the river like Yerma, probably something I need to work on.

Re: Party 2-4 good flop stab?
 

I am not saying this is correct, its only what would help me play post-flop better in a this kind of pot. I am more inclined to raise cards I limp with when the pot turns large.
