PL Hand #3

GooperMC · #1 07-22-2005, 12:08 AM

Seat 7: SB fish ( $27.61 )
Seat 10: Hero ( $33.20 )
Seat 2: EP Fish ( $21.65 )

Preflop: Hero is UTG with A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
I limp, 2 limpers, SB fish raises pot, I re-pot, both fish calls, everyone else folds.

Flop: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
SB checks, Hero??

Pot is around 15 and both of my opponents have around 15 left. Both players are VERY fishy.

SB Fish: VP$IP 85, W$SD 33
EP Fish: VP$IP 98, W$SD 40

Agree. Make the other guy pay to play. How many times have you let them play for free or on the cheap and someone goes runner runner and splits or 3/4s the pot?

I guess that I am being results oriented. I pushed and EP fish was playing KQJ10 and busted me.

Thanks guys.

I disagree, at the lower levels it'll be easily run over by a bunch of buffalos. You really need the nuts and never try to bluff there. At the higher levels I agree that it's a push.

I bet the pot.

For me, it would be an easy push. I like it when the pot is big enough that the decision is easy on the flop.

I could be convinced that it's actually a bad idea with that many people in, however. AA becomes much less strong. Might try a twodimes analysis of the players actual hands preflop compared to yours.

At first I wasn't sure about the push but after everyone else said this was an easy push I consulted twodimes.

On the flop:
If my opponent flopped 2 pair (which he did) I am a 2:1 dog but since they only have the same amount left as what is in the pot I would be break even. I am in bad shape against a set 5:1 but I am in very good shape against everything else. Throw in my fold equity and I think that this is an easy push.

Preflop:
Considering that one of them was playing Ks Qh Th 3h (the hand history doesn't show the other player because he folded) I can't see how I don't have 50% of the PE preflop.
