Flopped Quads in a multiway pot - Correct to go for Overcalls?

mdeck · #1 02-20-2005, 01:38 PM

To preface I know my preflop call was pretty loose considering position, but I'm at a very LPP table. VPIP for the table is ~48, PFR is just 4.82 [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

After about 15 hands, UTG+1 is a LAG, MP2 is a LPP Calling Station after 35 hands (85 VPIP & Calls to river w/ bottom pair on multiple occasions), after 35 hands BB is a LP/A player. Was I right to go for overcalls or should I have raised on an earlier street considering my position?

yeah, it was a pretty loose cold-call on your part. That not withstanding, I think you played this hand perfectly. This is a perfect overcall situation. The raise on the end was perfect. Good Job.

I'd fold preflop, having said that the rest of the hand looks good. With an Ace and 2 diamonds on the flop you're likely to get plenty of callers so no point blasting people out on the flop or turn. Nice hand.

i think you need to give the LAG a chance to 3-bet before the river. flush draws won't call your river raise, but will call a turn raise. the flop call, sure, go for overcalls, but be prepared to 3-bet if someone raises.

Often in a raised pot you can face opponents with two cold on the flop and still get many callers, and those that tag along may get trapped for additional bets if there's a 3-bet and cap.

I would raise the turn here.

Raise the turn. If they have draws, make them pay.

This is a pretty easy call preflop for me...

Only on a loose table where you know you won't be the only cold caller.

I call if my reads on the table were solid and I think there's a good chance of having 4 or more players in the pot. Otherwise this is a standard fold for me.
