Just bet the damn flop?
There was a plan here somewhere, but I can't for the life of me articulate it. I probably misplayed every street.
Party Poker 1/2 (10 handed) BB has been tricky and somewhat aggressive. Has shown a tendency to defend blinds The only thing I noted about CO was that they raised the turn and folded to a 3-bet a couple of hands ago, but not been at the table long enough to draw any conclusions about that. Hero is SB with K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Preflop: 6 folds, CO limps, button folds, Hero completes, BB raises, CO and Hero both call Raise, call or fold preflop? As soon as I called, I think I lost the initiative in the hand. The aggressive BB put me off raising, but I guess that just makes me a wimp. Flop: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (3 players, 6SB) Hero checks, BB checks, CO checks I get a piece of the flop, but outsmart myself by checking with the intention of raising a bet from BB. Should I have just bet out here? Turn: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (3 players, 3BB) BB bets, <font color="red"> </font> CO Raises , Hero....??? Well and truly lost control now... |

Re: Just bet the damn flop?
trying to fold out someone with a check/raise? free card on the turn? i dunno, with 3 people i dont think thats a good idea. however BB did raise preflop, so maybe it makes sense to think he'll raise this. i guess he has QQ or something maybe?

Re: Just bet the damn flop?
A check/raise isn't going to protect your hand and you're OOP. I'd bet and hope BB raises to knock the other player out. Also, there's only 3 people in the pot, so a bet won't be bad. Fold when it's 2 back to you on the turn.

[/ QUOTE ] I know it sucks, but do we have to fold when it's 2 back to us on the turn? we still have top pair on a drawless board (well runner runner [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] maybe....). It sucks sucks sucks but could we call this? |

Limp preflop. Bet the flop. Fold the turn.

Re: Just bet the damn flop?
I figured I was ahead and wanted to raise for value. As I said above, I didn't really have a clearly thought out strategy for the hand which I am going to have to work on to get better at this game.
Go Twins! Is Sydneysider Grant Balfour still on the club? DU |
