How good is an underboat in this game?
A little disclaimer (in four parts):
(1) I'm very interested in learning to play O/8, but I'm extremely bad at this game (2) I'm mostly concerned with my river play, but I doubt I played any of the other streets correctly (okay, maybe the flop was right [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]) (3) I'm converting by hand, hopefully it'll be readable (4) I've been drinking a little tonight No reads (see #4), Limit O/8 ($0.50 / $1), 9-handed Hero is MP2 with 9 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Preflop: UTG calls, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, Hero calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button folds, SB calls, BB checks Flop (6 players, 6 SB): 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] SB checks, BB bets, UTG calls, Hero raises, MP3 calls, CO folds, SB calls, BB calss, UTG calls Turn (5 players, 8 BB): J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] SB checks, BB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, MP3 bets, SB raises, BB folds, UTG calls, Hero calls, MP3 3-bets, SB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls River (4 players, 20 BB): J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] SB checks, UTG checks, Hero checks, MP3 bets, SB calls, UTG calls, Hero calls Final Pot: 24 BB So after the turn action, it looked like I was up against 1 (or 2) straights, but I thought I had 10 outs to fill up and beat the straights. Once I filled up on the river, though, I started wondering why UTG was cold-calling, and was suddenly afraid of him having KJ or J7 (J9 was possible too, I suppose, but very unlikely given my hand and the board). So on to my question (in two parts): (1) Should I really be seeing the river with this hand? (2) If so, what is the proper river action given that I have an underboat? Like I said, I'm new to this game and [clearly] not very good... so brutal honesty about how bad I am is expected (and accepted). |
