Iffy QJs hand

istewart · #1 04-07-2005, 08:34 PM

Table is pretty good. Quite loose preflop.

UTG was flat-out LAG, capping streets with bottom pair, etc. MP2 had shown down some pretty awesome hands within the first two orbits. Pretty TAG. Thus, I was a tad thrown off by passiveness throughout.

Comments on all streets please, especially flop and river. I don't like my flop raise in hindsight.

I don't like your flop raise either. I'd just call in this situation closing the action. I do like the turn bet though once UTG checks it. Better charge any single [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] here. I'd bet the river too.

I think I like it, even though I'm pretty sure that you lost.

the CC pf is great. The flop is iffy but not terrible. Same with the river. The river check is good if: players are known c/r types and/or UTG will get scared when the FD hits and check TPTK.

We don't raise the flop even if we think we have the best hand and are extracting value?

Flop: I would cap it. Not sure it is smart though. I have a habit of doing this vs LAG players. It is worth it if you buy any outs from guys hanging in with Ax ect.

Turn: I would take the free card. If they had the flush you might get check/raised.

River: I would bet if it was checked to me. If one of them bets I call. If it is bet/raise I call it also I know it is wrong but I do this alot. Good chance one of them will bet as by taking the free card on the turn you are likely to induce a bluff.

This is not advice just the truth about how I would play it. Very good chance I am wrong on every street. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
