How should I play a good but vulnerable hand?
I always seem to screw up good but vulnerable hands.
Party Poker 2/4 Hold'em (9 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is BB with 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, <font color="#666666">5 folds</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls. Flop: (6.50 SB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, UTG calls, Button calls. Should I've tried a check-raise on the flop? Hmm! Is he slow playing me? Turn: (4.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG raises</font>, Button folds, Hero calls. Now I'm really confused. I'm thinking maybe AQ but I'm fearing QQ. River: (8.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">UTG bets</font>, Hero calls. Final Pot: 10.75 BB Now after the river destroys my full house, as you can see I don't know what to do. I think I'm beat. After the turn I think he's going all the way to the river no matter what, but I would appriecate all suggestions on all rounds. Thanks! |

A flop check/raise would probably be fine here.
3-bet the turn. |

Re: How should I play a good but vulnerable hand?
Considering your flop action, easy 3 bet on the turn, you're rarely (almost never) behind. Giving him a conservative hand range of 88+,AJs+,AQo+, your equity is 91.5%. You become a 2:1 dog after the river, but a call is justified.
Your opponent will bet out the flop 95% of the time so you can easily go for a check raise, or a check/call then turn check/raise. |

Re: How should I play a good but vulnerable hand?
in answer to your questions:
should you have tried to c/r the flop? yes. is he slow playing you? WHAT? the minute you can tell, definitively, from a simple call, when an opponent is slow playing you, after a single flop bet, is the day you can go on to rule the world. in the meantime... don't ask such questions. they're fruitless and unhelpful to you. on the turn: for the love of god, 3-bet! your hand range is so ridiculously narrow i think you actually talk to the monsters that are under your bed. that thanks to a call and a raise you suspect your opponent to have hit QUADS is, um, bad. 3-bet and lead the river, even when it comes back capped. as for the river. so you hit a full house and it may have been counterfeited by making someone else a better queens full... it happens, check/call is fine. this type of post is essentially a bad beat post, and it's probably completely useless in helping your play improve on the whole. the number of hands you hit a full house on and lose will be an inconsequentially small proportion of your total hands you play.... in your lifetime. move on, they suck. peace. |
