Pretty Standard I Guess

Table sucks. There's one reason we're all here, and he's sitting in the CO chair.

MP2, is decent but rather laggy. He's been raising very light at these stages in the orbit in this game in an obvious attempt to isolate himself with the fish.

If MP2 has ATo and gives up, then that sucks, but I'd be trying for a checkraise here. There's a lot of potential reward if you get to checkraise, and a river lead might not have gotten paid off very well anyway.

Preflop looks rather marginal, at best, to me.

As for the river, I THINK I like it based on your read - How laggy? Is he paying off a check/raise with jacks here? Is he betting AQ? - but I could easily be convinced betting is better. I'd hate for no bets to go in with the nuts [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

Nice hand. River check is definitely worth the small risk of it getting checked through, given the extra value you extract off CO.

I had decided to bet a 9 and c/r a 4.

The c/r did work, and both MP and CO called for 2, and I took a nice pot.

MP had K9 (so my river lead may have really gotten juicy), and CO had 55 (and now you know why we were all there).

River check is sick. I hope you got to bomb it.

Preflop I am not so sure about. I doubt that it's a bigmistake...but I think I would fold there, which might be wrong and something I should think about.

I don't understand this preflop call. Do you think you can make him lay down after the flop. Whats his WTSD%? Even if the raiser will let you push him around, what about CO? If raiser folds postflop, won't this embolden CO to stick around with his pocket pair?

preflop call is standard.
i'd pump that flop after it's bet-call-call back to you.

On the flop I would checkraise for value unless I MP2 is going to 3-bet a lot.

River is nice. Trapping two in a river checkraise makes my pants happy.

PF is meh.

Preflop: Good. 7:1 with an unsuited connector is plenty.

Flop: I like.

Turn: No brainer.

River: I checkraise any non-heart 9 or 4. Otherwise, I lead.
