Am I taking crazy pills here on the turn?
Table was tight but passive. CO is TAG with decent AF.
Is my turn raise here suicidal? Would a flop c/r have been better? What's a better line to take on this one? Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (10 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is SB with Js, 9c. UTG calls, 2 folds, MP1 calls, 1 fold, MP3 calls, CO raises, 1 fold, Hero calls, 1 fold, UTG calls, MP1 calls, MP3 calls. Flop: (11 SB) 9d, 8s, 5d (5 players) Hero checks, UTG checks, MP1 checks, MP3 checks, CO bets, Hero calls, UTG calls, MP1 folds, MP3 calls. Turn: (7.50 BB) 2d (4 players) Hero checks, UTG checks, MP3 checks, CO bets, Hero raises, UTG folds, MP3 folds, CO 3-bets, Hero folds. Final Pot: 12.50 BB |

Your preflop call was insane. Your turn raise was merely agressive.

Fold this preflop.
Check-raise the flop. You really want to face the field with two bets and if CO has an overpair, you'll like to find out on the flop. Since you didn't c/r the flop, I like your turn c/r (for the same reasons I like a flop c/r). And good fold. |

Out of position, calling 1.5 SBs preflop with J9 off is bad bad bad. All you can hope for is a open ended draw 1:12 (not to the nuts most of the time) 2 pair or better 1:28 and then you can still be sucked out on. The callers are either calling with the face cards that can make a better str8 or the ones you need for the straight. Others with suited connectors (87s, 76s) that are better than your hand in this pot and take away from your draw. Not to mention that someone with a KJ, QJ, AJ has you dominated. And check-raise the fricken flop to find out where your at. Now if the hand was 23o well thats a different story. No one would expect that and I guarantee both your cards are live. |

Re: Am I taking crazy pills here on the turn?
You could try checkraising the flop, but unless CO is the type to auto-bet versus four opponents on a coordinated two-flush board, there's a good chance you're drawing anyway. Also, the chances are better than usual that you won't get heads-up. The pot's kind of big, and someone could have a reason to cold-call (or even check/3-bet, though I'm not assuming that's coming). Anyway, though, if by some chance CO is betting overcards plus a flush draw, he's not in bad shape against you and could even be an approximate coin-flip versus you (with, say, A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]), but you would like to get heads-up versus a flush draw, if possible, in this large pot.
When CO bets again on the turn versus three players on a board that's now even scarier, I think the chances have gone up that he's ahead of you, though a hand like A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] is still possible. If CO doesn't have a diamond, it's possible your turn checkraise of three players will convince him you must have a flush. Maybe he'll fold for that reason. A lot of things have to go right, though, really. In any event, it's a difficult hand, and I think your problems started when you called the preflop raise with J9o from the SB. I would have folded preflop. |
