Default Umm... You sure your 3 betting?

Bothy typical semi-loose players nothing notably strange from either villains

--flop : no real issue since im not looking to do much but it gets checked thru

--turn : thougth it was the card i needed, simple call probably bad play but at the time maybe an overcall with a raise on the river but then things get twisted ... Whats my action after the 3 bet?

--river : my play really awkward here?

The turn is unacceptable... raise raise raise raise raise raise raise and raise some more. You clearly have the best hand, and these guys will enjoy calliing you, so oblige.

1. Raise pre-flop. Small pairs in position play much better heads-up than in a 3 or 4 way pot, which is what you'll likely get by limping here. In earlier position, I'd limp behind one limper to hope to build a big pot, but in the CO or button it becomes unlikely you'll get the five-way action you want for set value. So to find value in this hand you need to raise to increase the percentage of the time your hand holds up unimproved and to build some fold equity on scary boards.

2. Flop is fine. Had you raised pre-flop, following through with a bet three-handed would be correct as you'll often take down the pot uncontested, and the pot would be bigger and worth fighting for. As it stands, I'd bet here sometimes as well if my opponents liked to fold a lot.

3. Raise the turn. Listen to Jake.

The only reason you shouldn't be raising this turn is if you ran out of chips.

Strange hand. It's as if everyone was either slowplaying on the flop (and I guess possibly preflop) or trying to buy the pot on thet turn.

I think you should cap the turn. (Also, you should raise the first time around, I think. BB probably doesn't have anything worth calling with anyway.)

On the river, I'll admit I would be scared.

I guess MP2 had A5? Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]? KK? Hell, I don't know, but it looks like you won (unless MP2 got scared and called you down with 55).
