Final Pot: 36 BB

At the flop, I thought I was way ahead, but the action made me think I was likely behind. Still, too much in there to fold, so I held on. Advice?

Re: How\'s my line?

What'd you put MP2 on? Unless it was QQ, why not raise that turn? He may have waited for the turn to raise a non-flush card. He might have AQ, or an overpair. I know lots of players who will do that so as not to bloat the pot on the flop.

Re: How\'s my line?

Looks fine. MP2 waking up on the turn, combined with all the flop action, is enough to make me slow down.

Re: How\'s my line?

CC preflop is questionable although fine if you think that you won't get 3 bet.

3 bet the turn.

What happened on the river?

Re: How\'s my line?

I think I find a fold preflop. You're playing the pair for set value and I don't think two limpers before the raise is enough to call - unless you're very sure you'll get more people to call behind. The limp reraise from UTG+3 generally indicates a big pocket pair, and then it's capped, surely this is a fold. Post flop I think you played it fine. The pot is huge, and I think you have to call it down though I suspect you're behind.

Re: How\'s my line?

I would fold this PF. At the time just before your CC of the PFR, there is 5.5 SBs in the pot. You could most likely count on the 2 limpers to call the raise. This still gives you only 7.5 to 2.

Re: How\'s my line?

Sorry, I don't know what happened to the river. I was trying to leave the results off, so as not to bias the responses. Oh well. Results in white now.

Re: How\'s my line?

I called PF because I hadn't seen the SB or BB lay down ANY hands in the blinds yet---I was anticipating them calling.

EDIT: Maybe this is incorrect in itself?

Re: How\'s my line?

Jesus christ, I didn't look at the results yet, but did you really let the river get checked through even though you had a set.

[img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img] I think I just threw up a little bit in my mouth...

Actually, send me a dollar as punishment.

Re: How\'s my line?

Now that you've posted the river action, I think you're probably good. You're probably up against AA, KK, Qx and a str8 draw or two. I'd love to bet here, but I think I'd probably wuss out and just check it like you did.
