TPBK - How Are My Lines?

[J. Stew]

Pf raise is good. I like betting the flop, you get to see what other people do and can see when you're behind, which you most likely are on the flop. I'd check/fold the turn because you're getting 10.5:1 and I think you have about 3 outs. (80% drawing dead * 0 outs) + (15% * 5 outs) + (5% * 46 outs) = 3.05 outs

The PF 3-bettor folded...

Gotcha. So we most likely put villain on 55 or 22 given that it was 2 back to him when he called PF?

Well, we don't know anything about him. He's already posted and hence is "invested" in the pot. (A common thought.) Don't put your own thoughts into villain's head - 55 or 22 are definite possibilities here.

PreFlop: I think I'm calling offsuited AJ instead of raising. I'm not a big fan of the raise this far out of position. Though the tight table may mean you will force a lot of others out of the hand. I Call

Flop: I like the lead out bet to allow the Preflop raiser to raise. However, I don't like the 3bet at all.
If the pot was smaller I would be willing to fold here due to position against the aggressiveness. I peel one more just to see

Turn: I'm gone....

River: I think someones got the full house 55pockets the other person has KK/AA
I would be willing to Check river and most definitely not three bet it.

I would normally like the Check/Raise approach on the flop to trap the ones who call after the Preflop raiser. But in this case I think my hand is vunerable and I'm hoping for the aggressive person to help me out early by raising the field.

I think the Check only means I get to bet last after all the callers. At this point I can't raise for value. I feel my hand is only decent so I would have to call and gain no protection

Grunch,

I think you misread the hand. I had to read it a couple of times before I think I figured it out. Pre-flop, you thought you were in MP, so I won't comment.

Flop, you bet with TP and a good kicker, UTG+1 raises telling me he's got AA-QQ, flush draw or a set, when MP3 3-bets, I pretty certain he has a set outside chance of a flush draw, but my guess would be 5's. Hard to put the SB on a hand since he's so passive. At this point I drop this thing.

River: yeah it adds a spade flush draw, but mostly I'd figure it's a blank for UTG+1 and MP3, The strong action now REALLY makes me think that at least one set is out there.

Ugly, but I can't say I haven't made the same mistake.

For the flop I don't think the raise automatically puts the PFRaiser with AA-QQ. I think you are jumping the gun on this conclusion. I'm not willing at this point to just accept the fact I'm behind.
However, I agree with 3bet conclusion - I think this is bad for us. I think the pot size is creating the most challenge in my eyes.

If I was in a little better position and someone raised to me I would 3bet it with my AJ to protect the pot but would slow down from there.

*grunch*
I would fold when it's two back to me on the turn.

Everything leading up to that is fine.

Yes, I know I made many, mnay mistakes with this one. MP3 had J5c and woke up when he hit two-pair on the flop, made his boat on the river (J's full of 5's), and I sank 9BB on this hand. Thanks for all your feedback!

Pf is fine. I don't mind the flop bet. I don't love the position we're in when it's 2 back to us with the pf aggressor still to act, but the pot is very large and there's stil a chance we're ahead or drawing live so I call.

It's an easy fold on the turn with both aggressors still firing away. UTG+1 either wants to prevent giving a free card or is hoping to be rasied so he can 3-bet. MP3 still likes his hand a lot despite UTG+1 showing further aggression. SB has patiently called at every opportunity. We're usually drawing slim to dead. Time to eject.
