Hero ($334.55) MP1 ($171.05) MP2 ($120) CO ($105.60) Button ($244.50) SB ($236.55) BB ($400) Preflop: Hero is UTG with 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. MP2 posts a blind of $4. Hero calls $4, MP1 calls $4, MP2 (poster) checks, CO calls $4, Button calls $4, SB completes, BB checks. Flop: ($28) 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(7 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">SB bets $24</font>, BB calls $24, Hero calls $24, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, CO folds, Button folds.

Final Pot: $596.55 I felt that the BB had to have JJ. I didn't see what hand I could have that would win this pot. I think I played it well on all streets. What do you guys think? |

Re: Release the Boat - 3 way
Fold preflop!
Playing these small/mid pairs in EP is going to kill your bankroll for exactly the reasons that this HH illustrates. On the flop: With that much action in front of you and 4 left behind you, I would seriously consider folding middle set. There is a straight on the board and the only card that you really want to see on the turn and river is the case 8. Anyone behind you with 9-10 and 2 spades could suddenly escalate this thing into an all-in coup. Do you want to be calling off your whole stack here with just a naked middle set? On the turn: OK, by some miracle, you now have the button. The turn also fills you up. SB makes a half pot bet and BB calls! You are screwed. Unless both SB and BB are complete maniacs, you are drawing to 1 out. One of them had to have J-J or 7-7, both of which are beating you. It is again time to fold. If you think both a complete loons, you should be raising here. Calling is the worst of the 3 options IMO. On the river: You found the fold button that had been hiding from you since before the flop. Whew! |
