do you often make a play like this with a small pair?
villian is 37.4/6.81/.97
my thinking on the flop: he probably doesn't have a pair yet. my thinking on the turn: oh what the [censored] my thinking on the river: thats better Party Poker 5/10 Hold'em (9 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, UTG calls, Hero calls. Flop: (7.40 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> UTG checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls, UTG folds. Turn: (4.70 BB) A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP2 calls.

I usually reraise with small PP's to isolate, obviously in this situation it wouldn't have worked. The rest of the hand is out of my jurisdiction.

Check/fold flop. [/ QUOTE ] i almost always do that but i feel like i miss out a lot of times when i have the best hands, especially when the aggressor PF is very loose and could be raising a lot of trashy hands. |

I think the flop bet is fine here. Hero's hand is good a pretty high percentage of the time on a T high flop. Villain basically has to just have any non-pair hand and BB has to have missed as well [/ QUOTE ] This flop is way too coordinated to take a shot at. Somebody likes it. |

What were your thoughts behind the river bet?

[/ QUOTE ] [/ QUOTE ] i thought he probably had overcards and when the ace came i figured he might have hit one of his overcards but i bet anyway because if i didn't he would have auto-bet and i would have had to fold. i bet anyway figuring he'd raise if he had an ace and he didn't. that left me relatively clueless as to what he had but when the second ace came down it obviously made it less likely that he had an ace ( and keep in mind i would have folded to any raise along the way ). there's probably something wrong with my line of thought here and i definetly wouldn't mind having it pointed out regardless of how the hand played out. |

If you were ahead on the turn you're still ahead, and vice versa. The flop offered both flush and straight draws and either villian missed a draw or he's winning and not folding. I think this river is almost a perfect instance of where you want to check/call and hopefully induce a bluff if you're ahead, while limiting your loss to a single bet if you're behind. |
