I'm over at UB 2/4 (1/2 kill).

This is a kill pot so for those who haven't played this before the blinds are 1 and 2, but the bets are 3 because the "kill" button MUST put in 3.

The kill button is two positions to my right. There are a total of 9 players at the table.

I'm dealt A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] on the regular button.

Four players see the flop for 3 chips each.

Flop 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

SB throws in 3 more chips, I am the only one who hit the call button.

Turn 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB bets 6....but I just couldn't pull the trigger.


There are about 50 ways that I could have played this hand better, some of those better ways would have lost more money...but they would have been better plays.

One that comes to mind is raising pre-flop.

Any thoughts?
