20/40 pound hand: playing possible 2nd best hand v. dead cards

[CarlosChadha]

Hi All,

20/40 pound game with a weird 1 ante, 10 bring in, 3 rake. Given the supper low ante I play this game squeeky tight, but most other people don't, and it plays like the average 10/20 game on Party (1 or 2 tight agro, 2-3 tight passive, 2-3 loose passive and the occasional maniac). I had just entered the table and didn't really recognize many of the players. Since I had just sat down, I don't think people were to aware of the fact that I was playing very tight. The only thing I knew is that seats 4 was very agressive and somewhat loose but good player. I have listed the hand history below and will give you my thoughs on each street as after a couple of people comment.

Seat 1: (£540.79 in chips)
Seat 2: (£239.25 in chips)
Seat 3: (£997.75 in chips)
Seat 4: (£989 in chips)
Seat 5: (£1729.94 in chips)
Hero: (£654.41 in chips)

3rd St:
seat 1 [4s] - fold
seat 2 [Jh] - call 20
seat 3 [Jd] - call 20
seat 4 [3h] - bring in 10 - call 20
seat 5 [6h] - fold
Hero [8d 8s As] - raise to 20
pot: 83 (after 3 rake), 4 players

4th St:
seat 2 [Jh][3c] - bet 20
seat 3 [Jd][3s] - call 20
seat 4 [3h][7h] - fold
Hero [8d 8s As][4h] - check - call 20
pot: 143, 3 players

5th St:
seat 2 [Jh][3c][9s] - bet 40
seat 3 [Jd][3s][7c] - call 40
Hero [8d 8s As][4h][9h] - check - call 40
pot: 263, 3 players

6th St:
seat 2 [Jh][3c][9s][5s] - bet 40
seat 3 [Jd][3s][7c][Kc] - call 40
Hero [8d 8s As][4h][9h][7d] - check - call 40
pot: 383, 3 players

7th St:
seat 2 [Jh][3c][9s][5s][x] - raise to 80 - call all-in 38.75
seat 3 [Jd][3s][7c][Kc][x] - fold
Hero [8d 8s As][4h][9h][7d][8h] - bet 40 - raise to 120

I think that there are some pretty difficult decisions on every street, so this should make for a good thread.

Thanks,
Carlos
