Re: $200+15 Hand
Hero represents 88-TT and semi-bluff pushes, I think.
Though the above line might suck. I think flop is somewhat questionable. Checking has to be good, and I think I fold. But at a $215, a lot of people are stealing on that flop. Your raise doesn't represent much. A check here, representing trip 7's, could be exceedingly scary for your opponent. You might get a free card. I'm going with check. I forgot to Button on a hand. A flush/straight draw would (or should) 3-bet all-in or fold, I think. 88-TT/A7 would 3-bet all-in. I think he's got a good hand/monster he's trying to get value from. I check. Though if you put him on a draw, it's a clear turn push. |

Re: $200+15 Hand
You're check raising with three people left to act behind you because...? I think I could go on, but this reason alone makes this a bad play in my opinion. Plus your raise is too small to actually be protecting a hand and looks bluffy. What to do next is totally read dependent. You don't exactly have him on a tight range though.

[/ QUOTE ] Yeah sure they're not that likely to have a hand but there are three of them. BB could be going for a c/r, CO likely has not much, and the button could have a hand. If you don't have any reads you're going to be so lost against the button. My next gripe with this hand is the size of the raise. I think it's a big problem. |

Re: $200+15 Hand
Wow, you put yourself in a really unfavorable position here.
Here's the problem: Your flop action screams weakness, quite likely a flush draw. On the up side, a hand like 78 is pretty weak on the flop, so maybe you can sell that. You have to check the turn I think. A push looks suspicious, and a bleeding bet bleeds chips from you. A check though is consistent with a 7. So what I would do if you air lifted me into this spot is check the turn, probably fold to a bet, and fire a 300ish bet at any river if the turn is checked through. The flop was really butchered here IMO. Completing preflop is standard, but with bottom pair, out of position and an awkward stack (meaning call takes 10% of your stack a c/r takes 25-50% of your stack, enough to really hurt but not enough to push) you have to let this one go on the flop. |

Re: $200+15 Hand
This seems like one of these hands where, if it was posted as a 22, 11, or a 6, everyone would tell the OP that he's a donk.
I guess cuz this is a 215, nobody will say that. You may well be a very good player (I obviously don't know) but the whole hand seems very FPS to me. I'd check and pray that I get a free card. It sure sucks playing hands OOP, doesn't it? |

Re: $200+15 Hand
Yeah, but in the $215's, a play like this is much more warranted, because Button is betting more, and the people between you are folding more.
It can be FPSish here, but I think this is definitely one way you can play this hand. |
