I like all of it. PF call is fine, and I like your flop aggression. Well played.

getting 12:1 and closing the action, I think the pf call is fine.

I might call this PF because there are six people in, but I usually avoid 76o at all costs. You have to hit the flop perfectly in order to play it EVER. That's not a problem in this hand. The rest looks pretty standard.

Edit: Also, you're closing the PF action here, so it's a sure call.

I cannot imagine that it is profitable to post in this position. Putting money in the pot in early to mid positions is difficult enough to be profitable when you see your cards first.

Definitely do not call the raise.

Without reads, the remainder of the hand is a minefield. I would close the action on the flop when it was 3 bet. Beyond that, I would defer to others for the correct play. Myself, I think UTG+1 may have the flush and is allowing hero to continue to build the pot. This may be a case where you would want to check-call the turn and river.

For those more qualified than I,does this not qualify as a WA/WB situation?

never post in MP1 but calling the raise to close the action was fine. good flop play and good play throughout. id be prepared to check/call the river if we're raised on the turn. i think we see a set here as often as we see a flush.

Jaran · #8 05-29-2005, 04:49 PM

The monetary difference in where you post is neglegible, and not to be worried about. The call of the raise is pretty easy w/12:1 closing the action. And don't fear the flush.

Check/call turn and river IMO.

Hard to believe no one has a flush.

They are not negligible. They add up.
