Use a condom. (protection post)
UTG is pretty awful. Right now he is at 93/64 after 15 hands. Obviously 15 hands is nothing, but we are seeing a bit of a trend here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
The other two players involved are largely unknown quantities. Party Poker 0.5/1 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. CO posts a blind of $0.5. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, CO (poster) calls, Button calls, Hero calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>. I think that this preflop call could have been a bit too loose, given the 2 limpers. My thinking was, that people's calling standards would go down on a raise from UTG as he was obviously raising way too much. Flop: (9 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls. I wanted to protect my hand here. I figured I was ahead of UTG now, but he is a raising fiend, so I bet out, hoping he would be kind enough to raise it for me. He did, of course, but the other two called. I decided then, that nobody was leaving on a 3-bet, so I now decide to bet out on any turn. Turn: (8.50 BB) 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, CO folds, Button calls, Hero calls. Well, it got one of these jokers out. Maybe I should have 3-bet. Can't decide. Help here, please. River: (14.50 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, Button calls. easy bet. What do you think of my attempts to protect here? 3-bet the turn? comments appreciated. Final Pot: 17.50 BB |

Re: Use a condom. (protection post)
93% vp$ip (voluntarily put money in pot), and 64% raised preflop. Even after 15 hands enough to see the player is a little maniacal [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
As to the hand itself, well played. |

Holy cow! I thought those stats would be the one posted, but I've never seen a 64% PFR. That's crazy.

Re: Use a condom. (protection post)
I would have 3 bet the flop and see if he caps.
Bet the turn and call a raise Bet the river and call a raise (maybe reraise depending on agression rating). That's me |

96 VP$IP
64 PFR I don't see any other way to play this hand really. I like all streets, especially the call on the flop and bet on the turn. Nice river card too. About 3-betting the turn, what do you have button on? I'm guessing a weaker A that hasn't paired. UTG could have anything it looks like with those numbers, but you don't give his aggression numbers. If he was above 1.5 or 2 postflop aggression then I think a 3bet would be a good play, if not, the call is the right play. |

Re: Use a condom. (protection post)
I was torn on 3-betting the turn. AF was 1.4. As for button, I did have him on a weaker A.

Re: Use a condom. (protection post)
I probably call, but I don't think 3-betting would be an huge mistake/better play. I'll say call because with those numbers you don't want to get capped by the maniac.

[/ QUOTE ] Dicounting UTG, and focousing on the button, I think since the button only called, you can raise here. Most flushes would have raised the turn. UTG could have a flush, but give that he's LAG, assuming that he has one now isn't good, so I'm betting for value. RIver bet was standard NH Sarge[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] |

Re: Use a condom. (protection post)
Please PM me UTG's handle. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Anyhow I thought you played it just fine for the most part. Here are some alternate thoughts I had.
Flop: I dont see that your hand necessarily needs much protection here. I wouldve considered a checkraise to trap the field for some more bets. I think its worth discussion, I could easily be wrong. Turn: I probably wouldve 3 bet. If one of the other two comes alive, you can put them on the flush. Obviously, UTG deserves very little credit for the flush. You have a nice redraw here, which influenced me to the 3 bet. River: Again Im tempted to checkraise. But youd hate for it to get checked through. But the C/r is tempting, and I am by no means a compulsive check raiser. |
