K8s MP overlimp
 

Party Poker 30/60 Hold'em (10 handed) converter

I've been running over the table, but only showed down good hands. UTG+2 and MP1 are loose, passive and weak, CO is unknown. Preflop is obviously debatable, but postflop...?

Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, Hero calls.

Flop: (9.50 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, CO calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds.

Turn: (6.25 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
UTG+2 checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>...

why not raise PF and idolate the two weak limpers?

Re: K8s MP overlimp
 

Did you mean idolize?

If he is an unknown then he probably doesn't know you've been showing very good hands?
However this defenitley doesn't seem like a board where he'd wait till the turn to raise an overpair, and most players aren't going to raise a mid-pp pf with that many limpers. I think if he raises you here it's a frustrated bluff, do you think you could threebet (assuming all others fold)?

I realize you're a very good player, and I almost hate to post this as it seems like a chip spewing play from a player whose last attempt at a tricky play got flamed on here...
Personally from the range of hands I'd put him on here at the turn, if he raises you can push him off the better hand. But maybe I'm a lagtard :-D

Re: K8s MP overlimp
 

Gag. Preflop is awful, game is too aggressive to leave any players behind with this hand.

Betting out on the flop will clean up some outs but the math is long to see if it's really that worthwhile, at first glance i'd imagine it is worthwhile.

On the turn it's a pointless beat with bad equity.

Hmm... that realization hasn't come to me yet!

He was unknown in the sense that I hadn't seen him play many hands. He was there to see my play for the last 4 orbits. I assumed him a tight decent player.

Good observation. I was thinking the exact same at the time and it seems that my immidiate table image would make this a viable play.

I'm a big fan of the K8s overlimp, but you might be a little too early positionally here. I also don't like the flop bet, if the pfr raises you it is awful. It kills your odds on your draws and your K might be no good. I'd much rather check, have the pfr bet, get a couple calls and now feel good calling with some draws and maybe your K is good.

Re: K8s MP overlimp
 

I also like the overlimp.

I believe fold equity alone makes it a bet and the 4 on the turn is a perfect card for me!

CO will rarely ever fold.
