Should I have been greedy?
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (10 handed) converter
Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. UTG calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, UTG+2 calls, Hero calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks. Flop: (8 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(8 players)</font> SB checks, BB checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 folds, MP3 folds, Button calls, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, UTG+2 folds. Turn: (7 BB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button folds. Final Pot: 8 BB My thought was that I would protect my hand by raising, since there was already 10SB in the pot and I didn't want anyone picking up a redraw on the turn. Plus, with 8 players you would think that somebody would at least have another 10. Maybe checking the turn to try to induce a bluff on the river would have been a better play, since it was a blank? I guess this might just be a "bad victory" post. |

If you check here there are plenty of hands behind you that will call that are virtually drawing dead. [ QUOTE ] with 8 players you would think that somebody would at least have another 10. [/ QUOTE ] Umm... there is only one ten left in the deck... I think this is a great spot to "slowplay" The pot is still fairly small, No draws out there. If there had been a flushdraw or if the 4 had been a 8,9,J,Q,K the raise had been in order but, as it is a call here and a raise on the turn (or the river...) is better... Slowplaying is generally not a good idea though... be wary of bringing up that subject on these forums as people can be a little touchy about it... [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: Should I have been greedy?
MP1 is a bit early for ATo for me. I usually leave it for late middle at least.

Re: Should I have been greedy?
This board is totally uncoordinated, so I really don't think protecting your hand is an issue. Also, you have top kicker, so I'm not too worried about someone else with a ten (if I lose to a boat made by ten-rag here, I can live with it). Definitely try to keep customers here.

Re: Should I have been greedy?
I actually don't think that raising is that bad here because usually if the bettor doesn't have a ten the turn will be checked to you a lot of the time. Whiffing on the flop raise. Also if someone does have a ten,after you raise, you may be checkraised on the turn allowing a 3-bet. Plus they will still often call down with a hopeless pocket pair. But slowplaying this board, as crappy as it is, is a viable option.

Re: Should I have been greedy?
Having 8 players really scared me, since I always get beat.
Next time I'll lay the trap, though. |
