Default Re: Wynn 150-300 -- I hate limit hold\'em

Gab --

I think you played this correctly on every street. The turn check is mandatory because your hand is weak, given your flop play. The river call is mandatory because you wouldn't exactly want to fold to something like 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] would you?

The flop is somewhat interesting. The fact that he has seen you seen you play some flush draws fast is a reason to slow down here -- i.e. to stop at two bets. Now if the flush comes he is likely to figure you don't have it.

That said the fact that you have a pair to go with your draw, and the fact that he once check/raised you and folded to a 3-bet (albeit on a paired flop) are both reasons to play it the way you did. On balance I think your play is right.
