um... you're the weak A.... a isn't limping with A rag suited UTG a bad move? Do people fold weak As in 2/4? Not on friday night they don't.

I don't like the flop play at all... not in this position... in LP with a bunch of limpers..... you're forced to hit a flush draw and a flush draw only... without position... it is much harder to get paid off with your flushes in EP... we'll a a-5 str is probably good too.. but your A has almost no value in a 2/4 game especially on the weekend where you're gonna get 300 callers... once you flop the flush draw I like the lead on the flop... you want a lot of callers and a pot built for the times you hit... the raise on the turn is questionable... but you did lead the flop....

in some poker literature there are reasons to raise... thin the field, build a pot, free card... and you're probably not thinning the field here... and there is no such thing as a free card in this pot...

umm i think you need to look at the hand again and re reply.

Re: Friday nights are ridic
 

maybe I missed something..

PF

it says hero is utg+1... so my bad... but it did say 1 fold before you... limping with A2 suited first in... in EP in my opinion is bad giving the reasons I stated... your hand has no A value... it has flush draw and str draw and two pair value with major two pair issues... and I still stand by it.... it is harder to get value in EP from flushes than in LP... and they are not concealed as well as a str.

Flop.

I like the call... I said bet before... I don't like to raise with 300 people left to act after me... so I like the cold call.. if I was in LP... I would be able to get a raise in here wouldn't I.

Turn.

The BB bet again... obviously his A is way better than yours and he isn't scared of the 32 people left to act after him... this is why I think the raise is bad..... you're limiting nothing except hands that don't belong in the hand and that would possibly call with silly worse draws way worse than yours... the drawing dead friday night types.... so I stand by this one too... why raise the turn? It has no value other than to cut your dead money out of the pot... you're hand is probably not holding up to the BBs without a 2 (maybe not even with a 2) or a heart....

Again.. see why I say that the BB isn't afraid of the players? He is representing a monster of some kind... at least 2 pair or better... maybe a set... he isn't afraid of *again* 300 players left to act behind him...... since you didn't include the ** BB is craziest LAG i ever saw ** read on the BB player.... I assume he is still representing something that crushes you on all strets... he hasn't let his foot off the gas since the Germans invaded Poland.... you were looking for a 9 outer.. and missed... so you folded... I think the river fold was good.

Maybe it is friday night.. but I don't think it is possible for A2 to hold up with 6 players seeing the river with an A high board with 22 BBs in the pot. Not possible. Ever. Maybe you can give credit to 1 or 2 other playres with a fl ush draw.. but there are only so many hearts in the deck... someone else has a 4... another player has a 5... the BB has two pair at worst.... that leaves 1 or 2 other players that have you beat too.... probably.

Slim,

Looks good to me.
I believe the river fold was the right move, especially with 2 more behind you.

Actually when BB 3-bet the turn, you looked like a dead duck.

With a pot this size I'm sure you hated to hit the "fold" button though! But it was the right move.

hey GHL much better. i think you were saying that i bet out the flop or something. Limping A2s UTG is fine at this type of table, very loose, very passive. THe table stats were 56 VPIP, 6% pfr. the flop i dont like raising as i wont get a free card but might knock out players that call with crap like you said. the turn i raised to try and win with TP. i didnt think the bettor had an A, so i was trying to protect, maybe get a better ace left to act to fold. i dont know if that move was so bad. Why did you think the bettor had an ace? he didnt raise preflop. lots of idiots just donkbet any pair, they dont think about what other people could have. river was a fold and its not even close. some guy who CC'e the turn showed A2o. lol.

I have a moto.... without reads.. "give credit.. not cash"... and I do try to follow it... without reads he had you beat... with reads... we'll maybe different. At my 5/10 table I think I have the LAAAGGGAGAAGGAGG iest player of all time... I don't believe he has me beat in your pot... but sometimes he does.

I didn't mean to be mean.... just what I thought about the hand.
