KTo in the BB

[Tilt-a-Whirl]

Am I just a fool or were there sufficient EV to try this?

The river bet was kind of foolish. I thought at the time that it was my only chance to win, but with his preflop raise, I should have known after he called the check raise that he had at least a part of the flop.

thanks for any responses...

I think Clarkmeister posted that one of the 5 things that low-limit players need to "unlearn" is the semi-bluff check-raise. This will NEVER work in the PP 2-4... Just call MP's bet and hope you hit one of your outs.

this hand is hit or miss in the BB...if you play it You really only have 6 clean outs. You are not getting pot odds to procede furter after the flop. Also, you are looking at a flush draw on the board so you have more hands that can beat you if another club lands.

I rarely use the semi-bluff check raise, and it certainly didnt work here. but with the 3rd flush on the board you dont think it would ever work?

Not very likely in PP.

I would be folding pre-flop.

This should be an auto-fold preflop - to many ways to be dominated. If it was suited then it's an easy call.

About the turn play - I with the other guys there. No one is folding at 2/4. The river bet is bad.
