Default Re: Big fat ugly posting hand.. flame me!

I personally just fold this when it comes back to me. If it was suited, or a little more connected I would call. But you are gonna need to make 2 pair or trips with this to win most times.


Flop

Why bet?

Scenario one. He has something like AK. You bet, he calls, everyone calls. Your hand is extremely vunerable.

Scenario two. He has AA. You bet, he raises, everyone folds. You are drawing to 5 outs.

Now look at this. When he raises to "protect your hand" most of the other people are drawing extremely thin, as well as you. You end up putting in 2 bets when you are way behind.

If he has AK, you are putting in 1 bet, but everyone else is calling anyway.

Now look at this. If you check, he will bet whether he has AA or AK. You now get the same effect of betting and him calling with AK (scenario 2), except now you have no chance to be raised.

I would check/call the flop.

Turn is Fine.

I lead the river to prevent it from getting checked through.
