Gotta be a better way to play this.
Horrible kicker, tons of overcards. Do I bet out? Checkraise a LP bet? Or just call a small bet and see what the turn brings? If so, bet any undercard?

Re: Gotta be a better way to play this.
I would play it like you did. If I have 29 I not betting anything unless I have two pair or trips.
I really don't see anything wrong with how the hand developed, you don't want any action at all. |

Re: Gotta be a better way to play this.
I woulda tried a bet on the flop here of maybe 1/2 the pot or so...maybe like 65-70. You dont get hurt at all and you can get an idea of where you are. And you are getting 3 to 1 on the money on this bet. Yer approach was prolly cool too...just a bit passive for my taste.
Actually seems like another player may have a better 9...but you may have best hand to smaller pp. gl sly |

Re: Gotta be a better way to play this.
I'm really not too excited about playing a 92, top pair low kicker, which tons of overcards that stay in... 92 doesn't have a good chance of holding up.

Check-calling seemed passive to me also, but I really didn't want to commit 60-70 chips to this pot. Calling seemed right because BB only min. bet.

Re: Gotta be a better way to play this.
If I were the button, I'd bet the pot and expect to take it down right there. Lots of draws there but I wouldn't expect anyone to call given what you are representing, and what no one else apprently has. +EV in the long run. Agree/disagree?

just to be clear
Are you saying you'd bet the pot on the button after the min. bet and callers?

Re: just to be clear
Folding preflop seems the clearest improvement here.
I don't see any reason to fold for 15 on the flop though. Lori |

Folding preflop seems the clearest improvement here. I don't see any reason to fold for 15 on the flop though. Lori [/ QUOTE ] I agree. Yeah, 5 chips is a cheap price to complete with a rag hand in the SB first round, and yes I do it from time to time, but it is exactly this sort of trap flop that makes you want to start putting piles of chips in the middle that can lead to long term trouble and chip leaks. If you finish this hand with a hundred or so fewer chips, you've dug yourself a hole for the rest of the tourney. Why? Because you played 92o out of position. If I chose to play it PF, I would have also probably called the t15 flop bet in the SB as well, but ONLY because I was capping the betting to see the turn. Based on the turn and the river, I wouldn't have put another chip in the pot, and probably would have checked the "fold to any bet" box after the turn card hit. |
