Flopped Straight 4/8
Typical 4/8 game villian is one of the better players at the table but fairly LAG he plays well after the flop. I have a good image and the villian has folded to my bets on later streets several times
I am in the CO with A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG calls UTG+1 calls MP1 calls MP2 folds Villian raises I call Button folds SB folds BB calls Flop (6BB) K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 10 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] BB Checks UTG bets UTG +1 calls MP1 folds MP2 calls Villian Raises I smooth call BB folds UTG, UTG+1 and MP2 all call Turn (11BB) 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] UTG bets UTG +1 folds, MP2 folds Villian Raises, I 3-bet UTG calls, Villian calls. River (21BB) J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] UTG checks Villan raises, I re-raise, UTG folds, Villian calls Final Pot (23.75BB) How could I have played this better? Should I have 3-bet the flop? I thought about it but I wanted build the pot and I thought that would scare off the early position callers. Was my bet on the turn correct? results in a few |

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
I like your flop and turn play, but on the river you should just call. The best you can hope for at this point is a split pot.

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
One of the only times I'm tempted to table coach is when I bet a split pot and the guy right after me raises, knocking one or more likely callers out.
Of course here you are at further risk of being 3-bet by a house (while most likely standing nothing to gain by raising), so i really really wouldn't raise that river. |

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
Like the others have said, get the overcall on the river.

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
My thinking on the river was that a full house would have re-raised my 3-bet on the turn so I wasn't worried about that, maybe a mistake. Also The villian in this had was pretty loose and I didn't put him on ace. With those reads is betting the river still incorrect?

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
If villans a lag I 3-bet pre-flop. Don't slowplay here either. Just keep betting and raising.

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
By not raising flop you kept three callers contributing, and you have a monster hand. As it turned out had you raised the flop, you may have gotten another 2 big bets in pot, but you may have lost that on turn.
The turn was nice that it was a diamond, but ugly to see the board pair. Anyway, I am three betting there too. The river is just an ugly card. |

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
Another thing, how often does the forum like calling two bets preflop with AJsuited in this spot?
If the player is loose I prefer to raise. sometimes I fold. The point is, I find I seldom call bets cold, but I guess a pp or good suited ace are the exceptions. |

Re: Flopped Straight 4/8
Depends on the limpers. Live, i've found that, a lot of people will call 2 more pre-flop. Your equity edge (if you have one) isn't huge here, and you have position.
So, I think a cold-call is fine here, but a raise isn't bad by any stretch. I think folding is the worst option. -d |
