you played this hand really weird.

just 3-bet the flop and get it on.

Why did you slow down on the flop if you weren't gonna check raise the turn? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Absolutely 3-bet turn. Why did you slow down on 1 raise? Go ahead and make your opponents pay to draw you out.

Why did you not 3-bet flop?

I think you need to 3 bet the flop.

Call the river.

Octopus · #6 05-23-2005, 09:56 AM

Working backwards:

River: What are your options? Fold? Get real. Raise? Your hand is strong enough that you don't mind an overcall, and weak enough that you could easily be behind. That leaves call. If it is 2 bets back to you, then you have a decision, but not here.

Turn: You are not seriously considering folding here?! Yes, IF you are behind, you have odds to draw, but most of the time you are not behind. 3-bet.

Flop: You have a guy who raised you and another guy who called the raise cold. They are not going anywhere (here or on the turn). You have the best hand and a good shot at it holding up to the end. The pot is big. 3-bet.

For what it is worth, I'd guess button has KJ or KT. CO is a bit of a mystery. AQ or AJ, maybe?

I raise, reraise this turn; the flush card may slow me down but I at least call the river, maybe raise, especially with a SLAP happy betting.

ugly stuff.

3-bet the flop. If you can't see this you are in serious trouble as a players. The 3rd player makes ALL the difference.

Since you didn't, you should cr the turn.

Since you didn't, you should 3-bet the turn when the other dude wakes up. His hand range is sufficiently wide that you are probably way ahead. It also looks like CO is drawing.

Calling the river is fine.

Reraise the turn.

I actually thought button was drawing by the way he played this hand. And on the turn it looks like he HIT his draw. (either with T9 or AT)

PS: I meant to 3 bet the flop. Long story, I was 8 tabling, pushed the wrong button, w/e, that's why I came and bet the turn.
