How do you play draws?
How do you bet draws in a $10 SNG? I never know what to do in this situation.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t15 (10 handed) converter MP3 (t785) CO (t755) Button (t770) SB (t400) Hero (t755) UTG (t725) UTG+1 (t790) UTG+2 (t1580) MP1 (t935) MP2 (t505) Preflop: Hero is BB with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>, MP1 calls t15, <font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, SB completes, Hero checks. Flop: (t45) 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> SB checks, <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets t15</font>, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 raises to t65</font>, SB folds, Hero calls t50. Turn: (t175) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t100</font>, Hero calls t100. River: (t375) T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP1 bets t250</font>, Hero folds. Final Pot: t625 After the flop, I had an open-ended straight draw and bottom pair. If my opponent is playing high cards, I have the best hand at the moment. So, what do I bet? Do I check and try to complete my draw as cheaply as possible? If he bets 4xBB, do I call or, perhaps, raise him? Or should I bet the pot (I'll admit my minimal bet was useless)? What about when the turn doesn't help me? If I had check-raised the flop, it's possible my opponent might check the turn giving me a free look at the river. But, what if I had bet the flop. Do I bet again or check? On a positive note, I did discover a major leak in my game. Apparently, when I make a straight on the river I fold. [img]/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] Sheesh! After the flop, I was thinking that I needed a 5 or 10 to make my straight, but, for some reason, after the turn it became 5 or 9 in my head. Of course, the instant I hit the fold button I realized I had a straight. |

Re: How do you play draws?
You have to think you were drawing where a flush draw was possible. Second, JT beat your straight.Third , you did not have the odds to draw that hand. Good luck
