Missed bets
I think I left some sugar on the table here.
Party Poker 0.5/1.
I'm on the button with J[img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img]J[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img].
2 MP limpers to me, I raise. SB calls, BB folds, limpers call. Four to the flop with 8 sb.
Flop comes 9[img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img]Q[img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img]K[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img]. Ruh Roh.
All check to me, I bet out, SB calls, 1st limper calls, 2nd limper folds. Three to the turn with 11 sb.
Turn comes T[img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img].
SB comes to life and bets, limper calls, I call.
River comes 2[img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img].
SB bets out again, MP folds, I call.
Questions:
1) What do you think my bet on the flop? The table was pretty passive, so I didn't expect more than one raise. If raised I think I have the odds to call to see the turn (11:1 for the gutshot with between 8 and 11 sb in the pot depending on the number of callers).
2) Should I have raised on the turn? I feared AJ at the time and that was my primary thought although with the benefit of 20 x 20 hindsight the loose caller could have had me beat on the flop and made two pair on the turn when I hit my straight.
3) Pretty sure I should have raised the river given my analysis of point 2. I'm ahead of every hand that could play except precisely AJ, and many hands were playing.
Results:
SB had K [img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img] for two pair on the turn.
