Two $15-30 hands that bugged me
Both hands were Bellagio $15-30.
Hand 1: I'm on the button. UTG calls, UTG+1 (very loose but very predictable postflop) calls, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, CO (decent player) raises, I look at 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and call, SB folds, all else call. Flop: 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. Checked to CO who bets, I raise, UTG+1 cold-calls, CO calls (everyone else folded). Turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. I bet, UTG+1 check-raises, CO folds, I call. River 4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. UTG+1 bets, I fold. Anyone check the turn? Hand 2: I'm in the CO. MP1 (weak-tight when acting before the raiser but loose-aggressive after) limps in MP1, I raise with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. SB, BB, and MP1 call. Flop A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] SB checks, BB checks, MP1 bets, I call, SB and BB fold. Turn 6 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. MP1 bets, I raise, MP1 thinks for a while, shows Q [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] and folds. Should I have waited to the river to raise? |

Hand #1: bet the turn, call the river.
Hand #2: raise the turn, make him pay with two pair or a set. You are more likely to get action on this street. How he folded the made 2nd nut flush for one bet is unfathomable. |

Re: Two $15-30 hands that bugged me
Can I ask why you raised preflop in hand two? Is the suited sawmill now a playable hand? 6-7 handed I could see it, maybe... but was this a 10 handed table? Your read was important obviously... but still.
As far as the first hand, I think I would have payed the river just to see what card alongside his T he's holding (and of course once in a while you'll win). Hand two I don't see how you could have played it better, and he's a better man than I for folding. |

K9s is too good to just throw away with only one limper and a chance to buy the button and knock out one or both blinds, at least if you play as well or better post-flop than the other players.

Hand2: That is about the sickest laydown ever.

RESULTS
Yeah, I couldn't believe the lady laid down the 2nd nut flush, especially after seeing her make two calldowns with marginal hands against a rock who had her crushed both times.
The first hand is a situation where I almost always call but feel that I almost always lose. Although the pot was big, the guy in question was so predictable that I thought there was no way he could've had anything but a straight. He was nice enough to show me the straight, and I was able to sleep that night. |

Re: Two $15-30 hands that bugged me
First hand: I'd have 3-bet pre-flop. I stand to lose a blind or two and a limper or two or three. And they'll probably check to me on the flop. That's a lot of stuff for the cost of one small bet. On the turn, I'd check because who's gonna call with a worse hand given that board? Plus I'm not scared of a free card. Plus it may induce a bluff on the river.
Second hand I raise the turn too. Since he limped in from early position, I've got to figure him for a high heart and also figure he's going to call me down. Shows what I know. |

If you figure him for a high heart what do you lose by waiting for the river to raise?

Re: Two $15-30 hands that bugged me
Lots of guys in my game figure a river raise after you've bet twice is apt to mean the nuts, whereas a turn raise can be posturing. They'll even 3-bet the turn with the 2nd nuts, whereas they might fold on the river.
