.25/.50NL Small suited connector facing lots of action

#1 10-27-2005, 10:36 PM

This is my first posted hand on 2+2, so take it easy on me.[img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I sometimes play small suited connectors to mix it up, but usually I do it in position. I saw all the cold callers pre-flop and I simply had to take a peek at the flop just incase I flopped a monster or monster draw. Any feedback is welcome. No real good reads on this table other than the PF raiser is TAG.

I don't mind the preflop call. I don't think I'd ever fold that getting like 6 or 7:1.

On the flop... well... that's a rough spot. I think I'd raise to isolate the PFR and attempt to shut out the callers inbetween. But, I'm sure one of them holds a flush draw, so your outs are discounted some.

so.. push and turn a 7. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Hey Gunther, welcome to the forums.

This is a tough decision. You certainly have the pot odds if your flush outs are good and there isn't a higher draw out there... But with two callers, that's not a chance I'm willing to take for my stack. I would fold.

I think I fold here.

MP2 already called off half his stack, so he isnt going anywhere. The PFR bet out strongly into many callers, so I doubt he's going anywhere either. If you push, both of them will call, and MP3 will be getting mad odds to call with whatever he has too.

I dont think that you are guaranteed enough clean outs here to warrant putting more chips in the pot OOP.

Fold fold fold fold. You have the bottom end of a gutshot straight draw and a 4 flush that will probably end up overflushed if it hits.

Dont chase garbage.
