Final Pot: 25 BB

I think I'm ok with the cold call PF, enough people have entered and I'm not quite strong enough for a 3-bet with no read on MP1. I raise the flop out of pot equity. MP1 leads the turn again which isn't looking good with the K falling. After MP3 raises I know I'm at least calling with my TP2K and flush draw, but I decided to 3-bet because I'm pretty strong and I'd like to see how MP1 reacts. The river brings one of the three cards I wouldn't like to see. Even after MP3 calls the pot is so big I felt I had to call.

What do you think? Would you do anything differently?

Preflop: With so many guys in the pot i think a cold call is OK.

Flop: Good raise, EQUITY(although its not to the nuts).
Turn: Nice card, Fine play IMO.
River: Ouchy but pot is so big its a crying call...

Messy hand and unlucky it didn't come in(although i get an idea they may of been on flush draw also? MP1).

No reads? Good hand.

I don't 3-bet the turn. Rest is fine. Folding on this river is awful btw.

milesdyson · #4 10-02-2005, 05:00 PM

don't 3-bet the turn.

and the river overcall is bad, but hey, it's one more bet in a big pot. i don't see you winning ever.

POKhER · #5 10-02-2005, 05:01 PM

Hmm yeah, Take my comments back.

he preflop raised and i dont see you being ahead even wen you spike the king... your in it for the flush draw so calling seems best.

POKhER.

Can't fold the river. .50/1.00 players on PP are terrible. There's at least a 4% chance you're good here. Call because the pot is beyond huge.

If you folded the winner in a 26 BB pot would you ever be able to live with yourself?

I've done it because I gave random micro players too much credit.

and it feels disgusting.

I don't see any way in hell you are winning this hand. MP3 wakes up and raises the turn, I would not 3 bet him here. I would call the turn and fold the river. Over calling is never good, especially on that A.
