a hand i'm having trouble with

[benneh]

hand is on pokerroom (which doesn't appear to be working with the converter right now), so excuse the sloppiness.

Reads: MP1 is passive before and after the flop and loose. he's a big loser in the game(duh).

hijack just sat down.

Hero bets, MP1 raises, poster calls, hero calls

River is a blank deuce

Hero checks

Call down from here or pop another? or was the turn the place to re-raise if i was going to?

Not sure why you'd think about raising here. The turn card was the worst one possible giving possible trips and even a possible flush. I'd call it down but if you were to consider anything different it should be whether to fold or call....not raise or call.

[POKhER]

Turn card sucks, Specially against a loose guy. You say hes passive so he either hit trips or the flush.

I guess i bet the turn in this hand, And cringe whilst doing so. Although if hes loose id think twice and may even check/call, then check/call the river.

Anyhow.

Preflop: FIne
Flop: Fine
Turn: Fine i do the same(And cringe)
river: Check/Call [LET ME FOLD [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img] ]
Showdown: See flush/trips - Lose.

call down from the turn raise. Why don't you post your reasoning for wanting to raise or bet again, because right now it doesnt make sense to me.

[Pylos]

Call down. The best you can hope for is another K or A for the boat.

I'm guessing that it's because he won the hand somehow.

Calling the turn bet instead of raising was good for a few reasons. As previously noted, based on the sudden raise it is likeable that your opponent either caught trip 7's, a flush (though I doubt it), or maybe he's just got the Queen of diamonds in the hole. Most likely though, he has the 3rd 7--

Either way, here's why I think calling the turn bet instead of 3-betting is smarter:

With your opponent's bet on the turn, the pot (if I'm counting correctly) is laying at exactly 9.5-to-1 BB, and you've got 4 sure outs to make a full house, and if you call the bet, the pot is at 10.5-to-1 -- the break even pot odds for chasing your 4-outer.

Of course the river missed you, so you should call for one more bet in what's likely to be a 12.5BB pot.

I would slow down on the turn (like you did).

[benkath1]

I'd call down. Against a passive I wouldn't expect to win, but I wouldn't expect to get him to fold a better hand either.
